Patent ID: 7180567

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate having a plurality of first electrodes formed on one surface side and a first vertical alignment film for covering the plurality of first electrodes; a second substrate having a light shielding film formed of light non-transmitting material to be arranged in regions which correspond to regions between the plurality of first electrodes, red, green and blue color filters which are arranged to oppose to the plurality of first electrodes on the first substrate and at least one of which covers the light shielding film, a second electrode for covering the color filters, a projection pattern formed of insulating material on the second electrode, and a second vertical alignment film for covering the second electrode and at least the projection pattern on the second electrode, whereby top end portions of the projection pattern come into contact with the first substrate; and a liquid crystal sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate and having a negative dielectric anisotropy.
