Patent ID: 7339564

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate opposed to the first substrate; a liquid crystal sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a plurality of pixels; wherein the first substrate includes a plurality of gate signal lines, a plurality of drain signal lines which cross the plurality of gate signal lines, a plurality of switching elements, a plurality of transparent pixel electrodes, a first insulating film, a second insulating film, a conductive layer and an opaque layer, the first insulating film is formed between the first substrate and the second insulating film, the plurality of gate signal lines, the conductive layer and the opaque layer are formed between the first substrate and the first insulating film, the plurality of drain signal lines are formed between the first insulating film and the second insulating film, the plurality of transparent pixel electrodes are formed between the second insulating film and the liquid crystal, the second substrate includes a counter electrode and a light shielding layer, each pixel of the plurality of pixels includes one of the plurality of transparent pixel electrodes and one of the plurality of the switching elements, the conductive layer is formed along one of the plurality of drain signal lines and is overlapped with said one of the plurality of drain signal lines when viewed perpendicularly, the first insulating film insulates the conductive film from said one of the plurality of drain signal lines, the plurality of gate signal lines are insulated from the conductive layer, the opaque layer is insulated from the plurality of transparent pixel electrodes by the first insulating film and the second insulating film, the opaque layer is insulated from the plurality of drain signal lines, and the opaque layer is formed along at least one side of the conductive layer such that the opaque layer is departed from the conductive layer, and that the opaque layer is overlapped with one of the plurality of transparent pixel electrodes along an extending direction of said one of the plurality of drain signal lines.
