Patent ID: 7483106

Claim:
An in-plane switching type liquid crystal display device comprising: an active element substrate; an opposing substrate arranged on the active element substrate; and a liquid crystal layer arranged between the active element substrate and the opposing substrate, wherein said active element substrate has: a substrate; a wiring that is arranged on the substrate and has a part extending in a first direction parallel to the surface of the substrate and another part extending in a second direction parallel to the surface of the substrate and different from the first direction; a convex-shaped insulation film that is arranged so as to cover the wiring and has a part extending in the first direction and another part extending in the second direction; an electrode that is arranged on the insulation film and has a part extending in the first direction and another part extending in the second direction; and an oriented film arranged on the electrode, for allowing the liquid crystal layer to be oriented, and said opposing substrate has a shielding layer that is formed in a region including the entire region directly over the insulation film and in a region positioned inside the region directly over the electrode.
