Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a first substrate and a second substrate;a liquid crystal layer provided between said first and second substrates;a plurality of pixel regions provided on the surface opposing said second substrate of said first substrate, each of said pixel regions comprising at least one pixel electrode and a common electrode cooperatively applying an electric field in a direction along the surface of said first substrate; anda conductive light shielding matrix provided on the surface opposing said first substrate of said second substrate, said light shielding matrix having openings, each corresponding to a display region of each of said pixel regions, and shading non-display regions other than said pixel regions;wherein said light shielding matrix and said common electrode are set to substantially the same voltage,wherein said common electrode formed on said first substrate is extended to a peripheral edge of said first substrate, said light shielding matrix formed on said second substrate is extended to a peripheral edge of said second substrate, and said common electrode and said light shielding matrix are electrically connected via conductive member at the peripheral edge of said first and second substrates.
