Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:a first transparent substrate and a second transparent substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between said first and second transparent substrates; a plurality of first kind electrodes disposed on an inner surface of said first transparent substrate; at least one second kind electrode disposed on an inner surface of said second transparent substrate so as to face said first kind electrodes; at least one spacer for establishing a spacing between said first and second transparent substrates, each spacer being fixed to said second transparent substrate and covered with one of (1) a corresponding one of said first kind electrodes, and (2) a corresponding one of said second kind of electrode; a black matrix formed on said second transparent substrate for defining a contour of a pixel area associated with said spacer; a first light-blocking film formed on the inner surface of said second transparent substrate and made of a same material as that of said black matrix, said first light-blocking film overlapped with said spacer and displaced from said black matrix; and a second light-blocking film disposed on an inner surface of said first transparent substrate such that light from a side wall of said spacer is blocked.
