Patent ID: 8502938

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a liquid crystal layer which contains a liquid crystal composition; a pair of substrates opposed to each other across the liquid crystal layer; alignment layers placed on liquid crystal layer sides of the pair of substrates, respectively; polarization plates placed on opposite sides from the liquid crystal layer sides of the pair of substrates, respectively; and a uniaxis absorption anisotropy layer which exhibits dichroism in a wavelength range equal to or lower than 500 nm disposed at a position between at least one of the pair of substrates and the liquid crystal layer, wherein the pair of substrates comprises: a thin-film transistor substrate comprising a thin-film transistor for controlling molecule alignment of the liquid crystal composition; and a color filter substrate comprising a color layer containing pixels of different colors, wherein one of the pixels of different colors is a blue pixel for displaying blue, and wherein the blue pixel is larger in area than any of the pixels of other colors.
