Patent ID: 8111365

Claim:
An active matrix type liquid crystal display device including an active area which is composed of first pixels arrayed in a matrix and second pixels disposed at both end portions thereof, and a light-shield area surrounding the active area, comprising: a first substrate including first pixel electrodes disposed in the respective first pixels and second pixel electrodes disposed in the respective second pixels, each of the second pixel electrodes being wider than each of the first pixel electrodes; a second substrate including first color filters corresponding to and disposed in the respective first pixels, second color filters disposed in the respective second pixels, each of the second color filters being wider than each of the first color filters, a light-shield layer disposed in the light-shield area, and a counter-electrode which is disposed to cover the first color filters and the second color filters and extends from the active area to at least a part of the light-shield area; and a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the second pixel electrodes and the corresponding second color filters extend into the light-shield area.
