Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a planarizing layer; a common electrode on the planarizing layer; a first pixel electrode on the planarizing layer, wherein an electric field is generated between the first pixel electrode and the common electrode; a second pixel electrode on the planarizing layer, wherein an electric field is generated between the second pixel electrode and the common electrode; a liquid crystal layer that covers the common electrode, the first pixel electrode, and the second pixel electrode; a first data line; an electric field shielding layer near the first data line, wherein the electric field shielding layer is covered by an insulating layer and shields the liquid crystal layer from an electric field generated from the first data line; a first switching element that applies to the first pixel electrode an electric potential according to display signals supplied to the first data line; a second data line; a second switching element that applies to the second pixel electrode an electric potential according to display signals supplied to the second data line; a scan line that is supplied with scan signals to control the first switching element and the second switching element; and a color filter layer that includes a first filter and a second filter in contact with the first filter, wherein the first filter transmits a light, of a first wavelength, that passes through the first pixel electrode, and the second filter transmits a light, of a second wavelength, that passes through the second pixel electrode.
