Abstract:
1. An active matrix liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate disposed in opposing relation to said first substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between said first substrate and said second substrate; a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a matrix on said first substrate; a plurality of switching elements disposed on said first substrate in association with said pixel electrodes, respectively, for driving the pixel electrodes, respectively; a plurality of data lines disposed on said first substrate at respective gaps between adjacent two of said pixel electrodes, for supplying data signals to said switching elements; and a black matrix disposed on said first substrate in association with said data lines, for blocking light passing in a predetermined viewing angle range through a light leakage region created in said liquid crystal layer depending on a potential difference between adjacent two of said pixel electrodes.
