Abstract:
A transmissive type liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal layer, a pair of transparent substrates opposed to each other and bonded to a periphery sealing member so as to interpose the liquid crystal layer, a polarizer placed at an outer surface of each of the transparent substrates, an illumination means provided in rear of a polarizer at a back surface side with respect to a display surface side, a light shielding layer provided on an inner surface of one of the transparent substrates at positions corresponding to a non-display region and a non-display portion excluding a portion corresponding to a display pattern in a display region, and a transparent electrode formed on the display region, wherein a voltage sufficient to activate the liquid crystal layer is applied to a desired portion of the transparent electrode on the display pattern, said liquid crystal display device being characterized in that: the non-display portion in the display region has a plurality of sections of not less than 1 mmÃ—1 mm; the light shielding layer is made of a photosensitive light shielding resin in which patterning is conducted, which has an electrical insulation resistance value of not less than 1012 &OHgr;/&square; and an optical density (OD value) of not less than 2.0 per a film thickness of 1 &mgr;m.
