Patent ID: 8605243

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a pixel area surrounded and defined by a first drain line, a second drain line, a first gate line, and a second gate line, wherein the pixel area includes: a first pixel part having a flat surface-like planar electrode, and a plurality of line-like linear electrodes that are formed in superimposition on the planar electrode via an insulating film and extend in a first direction; a second pixel part having the planar electrode and a plurality of line-like linear electrodes that are formed in superimposition on the planar electrode via the insulating film and extend in a second direction; a first boundary electrode that is formed at a side of the first drain line in an area sandwiched between the first pixel part and the second pixel part, and has a side edge portion inclined in the first direction and a side edge portion inclined in the second direction; a second boundary electrode that is formed at a side of the second drain line in an area sandwiched between the first pixel part and the second pixel part, and has a side edge portion inclined in the first direction and a side edge portion inclined in the second direction, a first light-blocking film, integrally formed with the first drain line, that is formed in superimposition on the first boundary electrode, and having sides formed to extend along the side edge portions of the first boundary electrode inclined in the first and second directions, a second light-blocking film, integrally formed with the second drain line, that is formed in superimposition on the second boundary electrode, and having sides formed to extend along the side edge portions of the second boundary electrode inclined in the first and second directions, and wherein the first light-blocking film and the second light-blocking film are insulated from each other.
