Patent ID: 8749734

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) substrate at which pixels each including a pixel electrode and a TFT are formed in a matrix shape; a counter substrate at which color filters are formed; and liquid crystal interposed between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate, the TFT substrate and the counter substrate being bonded together via a sealing material formed on a periphery of the counter substrate, wherein at the counter substrate, light shielding films are extended in a first direction and arranged in a second direction which is transverse to the first direction, red color filters are extended in the second direction and arranged in the first direction, blue color filters are extended in the second direction and arranged in the first direction, green color filters are extended in the second direction and arranged in the first direction, color filters of one color among the red color filters, the blue color filters, and the green color filters are also extended in the first direction so as to cover the light shielding films, color filters of another color are formed in portions where the color filters of one color are extended in the first direction so as to provide color filters of two layers of one layer of color filters of the one color and another layer of the another color, and an overcoat film is formed so as to cover the red color filters, the blue color filters, and the green color filters, and an alignment film is formed so as to cover the overcoat film.
