Patent ID: 8629962

Claim:
A liquid crystal display panel comprising: first and second substrates facing each other with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, wherein the first substrate includes a plurality of scanning lines and signal lines intersecting each other in an insulated state, an upper electrode having a plurality of slit-shaped openings formed for each of sub-pixels defined by the scanning lines and the signal lines, and a lower electrode formed so as to be closer to the first substrate with an insulation layer interposed between the upper and lower electrodes, wherein the second substrate includes a light-shielding layer formed so as to overlap the scanning line and a signal line in a plan view, and a color filter layer formed in each of the sub-pixels defined by the scanning lines and the signal lines, wherein a single pixel is formed by the plurality of sub-pixels including the color filter layers of different colors, respectively, and wherein the length of the slit-shaped opening in a longitudinal direction in the sub-pixel corresponding to at least one color is shorter than the length of the slit-shaped opening in the longitudinal direction in the sub-pixel corresponding to the other colors.
