Patent ID: 8836907

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; a liquid crystal provided between the first substrate and the second substrate; a thin film transistor formed on a surface of the first substrate facing the liquid crystal; a color filter layer formed between the liquid crystal and the thin film transistor; and an electrode structure layer formed between the liquid crystal and the color filter layer; wherein the electrode structure layer includes: a transparent insulating film being formed so as to separate a surface of the liquid crystal and a surface of the color filter layer facing each other; and a first transparent conductive film and a second transparent conductive film arranged with respect to the transparent insulating film so that the first and second transparent conductive films are formed on opposite sides of the transparent insulating film, respectively; wherein the color filter layer includes: a first region formed of one colored layer of a plurality of different colored layers; and a second region formed of at least two laminated different colored layers of the plurality of different colored layers, the second region having a convex portion formed therein, and the convex portion retaining a gap formed between the first substrate and the second substrate; wherein the arrangement of the first transparent conductive film, the transparent insulating film and the second transparent conductive film is disposed between the liquid crystal and an upper surface of the color filter layer in the vertical direction; and wherein the first transparent conductive film covers the upper surface of the color filter layer in both of the first region and the second region.
