Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:first and second substrates;a liquid crystal material disposed between said first and second substrates;a pixel electrode having a first edge, a second edge opposed to said first edge, a third edge perpendicular to said first and second edges, and a fourth edge opposed to said third edge;a switching element having first, second and third terminals, said third terminal being connected to said pixel electrode;a first scanning line formed in parallel to said first edge of said pixel electrode and connected to said first terminal of said switching element;a second scanning line formed in parallel to said second edge of said pixel electrode;a first signal line formed in parallel to said third edge of said pixel electrode and connected to said second terminal of said switching element;a second signal line formed in parallel to said third edge of said pixel electrode;a light shield film, said light shield film comprising a portion corresponding to the switching element, said portion being laid on said switching element, a first portion formed so as to overlap with said first scanning line and so as to be narrower in width than said first scanning line, a second portion formed so as to overlap with said second scanning line and so as to be narrower in width than said second scanning line, a third portion formed so as to overlap with said first signal line, and a fourth portion formed so as to overlap with said second signal line; anda color filter element opposed to said pixel electrode, said color filter element overlapping with said first and second edges of said pixel electrode.
