Patent ID: 8810757

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate equipped with: (a) signal lines and scan lines deployed in a matrix arrangement, the signal lines and the scan lines intersecting one another; (b) pixel electrodes provided in each of a plurality of pixel domains delimited by said signal lines and scan lines; and (c) first light-blocking members; a second substrate equipped with: (a) color filters; and (b) second light-blocking members; and a liquid crystal layer placed between said first substrate and second substrate, wherein (a) said pixel electrodes are positioned so as not to overlap said scan lines when viewed from above; (b) each of said first light-blocking members is deployed below spaces between adjacent pixel electrodes so as to cover the scan line arranged therebetween and overlap outer edges of said pixel electrodes when viewed from above, (c) each of said second light-blocking members is deployed so as to overlap one of said scan lines when viewed from above, and (d) said scan lines, said first light-blocking members, and said pixel electrodes are arranged in the order of said scan lines, said first light-blocking members, and said pixel electrodes from said first substrate to said second substrate in an orthogonal direction to a surface of the first substrate.
