Patent ID: 7042541

Claim:
A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a first substrate having on one surface thereof a plurality of pixel electrodes for driving a liquid crystal, a plurality of driving devices so arranged as to correspond to the pixel electrodes, respectively, for controlling a potential of the pixel electrodes, and wiring electrically connected to the driving devices; a second substrate so arranged as to oppose the first substrate while facing the one surface of the first substrate having the pixel electrodes thereon; and a liquid crystal layer formed by injecting the liquid crystal between the first and second substrates, wherein the first substrate has a non-display portion in which the driving devices and the wiring are disposed and which is not used for display and a display portion which is a portion other than the non-display portion and is used for display, and the second substrate has a transparent layer disposed on at least a portion thereof corresponding to the display portion and wherein the transparent layer on the second substrate is not provided in at least part of the non-display portion where the driving devices and wiring are provided so that a gap in the transparent layer is provided in an area corresponding to where the driving devices and wiring are provided.
