Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a substrate; a switching device provided over the substrate, the switching device comprising a channel formation region; a conductive layer electrically connected to the switching device; an insulating film having a contact hole provided over the switching device; a pixel electrode provided over the insulating film, wherein the pixel electrode is electrically connected to the conductive layer through the contact hole; a gate line; a source line; a first light-shielding layer provided with a region of a counter substrate, the region corresponding to the gate line and the source line; and a second light-shielding layer provided separately from the first light-shielding layer, wherein the second light-shielding layer does not overlap with at least a part of the channel formation region, wherein the second light-shielding layer is provided on the counter substrate, and wherein the second light-shielding layer is surrounded by the first light-shielding layer.
