Abstract:
An easy-to-manufacture color liquid crystal display device, said device comprising:a first insulative substrate; an insulative film layer with a substantially even upper surface on a surface of said first insulative substrate; picture element electrodes aligned in a matrix configuration defining an image display region on said surface of said insulative film layer; and, a second insulative substrate on which a counter electrode is disposed; wherein said first insulative substrate and said second insulative substrate are adhered to each other with a liquid crystal material interposed therebetween such that each said picture element electrode faces at least a portion of said counter electrode; wherein said first insulative substrate further includes in a portion of said insulative film layer adjacent said surface of said insulative substrate a plurality of switching elements on said surface of said substrate and line means for supplying signals to said switching elements, said switching elements being connected respectively to said picture element electrodes through the remainder of said insulating film layer; wherein a plurality of color filters are arranged to correspond respectively to selected ones of said picture element electrodes defining said display region, and, wherein on said surface of said insulative film layer a light shielding frame layer extends beyond the line defined by the inner surface of a sealant material providing an outer boundary around the circumference of the liquid crystal material.
