Patent ID: 7443467

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a plurality of signal lines and a plurality of scanning lines respectively wired in order that each of the signal lines and each of the scanning lines can intersect each other; a first pigmented layer, a second pigmented layer and a third pigmented layer, portions of all which are arranged in each of division divided by the signal lines and the scanning lines; and a pixel formed by combining the portions of the first pigmented layer, the second pigmented layer and the third pigmented layer, wherein the first pigmented layer is formed in a grid-like pattern enclosing portions of the second pigment layer and the third pigment layer, the grid-like pattern is obtained by thinning out a portion from an otherwise complete grid in accordance with a specific cycle relating to the second pigmented layer and third pigmented layer in a direction along the scanning lines, and wherein, when, among pixels expressed as (nx, ny) by assuming that the pixels are counted as “ny=0, 1, 2, . . . , n” sequentially from a pixel connected to the endmost scanning line and that the pixels are counted as “nx=0, 1, 2, . . . , n” sequentially from a pixel connected to the endmost signal line, the pixels (nx, ny) provided with and without the first pigmented layer 1 extending in the scanning line direction are set as “1” and “0” respectively, presence of the first pigmented layer 1 in a portion corresponding to the second and third pigmented layers 2 and 3 in each pixel is expressed by the following formula: f ( nx+ax, ny+ay )= a[ ((((( nx−bx+ 3)−( nx−bx+ 3)%3)/3)%2)*2 +ny] %4], where: a[0]=1, a[1]=1, a[2]=0, and a[3]=0; (ax, ay) is any integer which determines an offset; “bx” is a minimum number of lines pigmented by the first pigmented layer 1 among the lines following the signal lines; and “%” means an operation, whereby a residue in integer is found.
