Patent ID: 7777821

Claim:
A dual-display liquid crystal display device, comprising: a display panel configured to include therein first sub-pixels displaying a first image and second sub-pixels displaying a second image, the first sub-pixels and the second sub-pixels being alternately and adjacently disposed; and a barrier panel configured to include therein a light-shielding film having apertures therein which allow the first image and the second image to be identifiable from a first viewing direction and a second viewing direction, respectively, wherein the display panel is configured to be a liquid crystal display device including a first substrate and a second substrate being located so as to be opposite each other and having a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, wherein the first substrate includes therein scanning lines and signal lines arrayed in a matrix, thin film transistors each being located so as to be adjacent a position where one of the scanning lines and one of the signal lines intersect each other, storage capacitor lines formed so as to be parallel with the scanning lines, and sub-pixels each having therein a storage capacitor lower electrode formed by extending one of the storage capacitor lines, a storage capacitor upper electrode formed by extending a drain electrode of one of the thin film transistors, and an insulating film formed between the storage capacitor lower electrode and the storage capacitor upper electrode, wherein the storage capacitor lower electrode, the storage upper electrode and the insulating film form a storage capacitor section, wherein the storage capacitor upper electrode includes a first upper electrode extending along the scanning lines and a second upper electrode extending along the signal lines, and the storage capacitor lower electrode includes a first lower electrode extending along the scanning lines and a second lower electrode extending along the signal lines, wherein, from the first viewing direction and the second viewing direction, the first upper electrode and the first lower electrode are configured to have a portion exposed out of a light-shielding area of the barrier panel, the shape of the exposed portion being symmetric with respect to a centerline between the signal lines, and the second upper electrode and the second lower electrode are configured to be overlapped, in plan view, by the light-shielding area of the barrier panel.
