Patent ID: 7750998

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates; a light-shielding film provided to the second substrate; a plurality of subpixels arranged in a matrix on the first substrate; a first electrode formed on the first substrate for each of the subpixels; a second electrode formed on a layer upper than the first electrodes for each of the subpixels; and a color filter formed on the second substrate for each of the subpixels, wherein the second electrodes each include a plurality of linear portions, the subpixels include first and second subpixels that are adjacent to each other in a direction of a display line with the color filters of the same color, the light-shielding film is formed on the second substrate not to cover a pixel boundary between the first and second subpixels but to cover pixel boundaries of the remaining subpixels, and the second electrodes of the first and second subpixels are formed separately, and the second electrode of the first subpixel is disposed to an area of the second subpixel beyond the pixel boundary between the first and second subpixels.
