Patent ID: 8605016

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate comprising: (i) a scanning line and a signal line which intersect each other; (ii) a transistor associated with the scanning line and the signal line and thus associated with a pixel of the liquid crystal display device; (iii) a pixel electrode connected to the transistor; and (iv) wherein a gap is provided between the signal line and the pixel electrode, the gap being within a range of from not less than 5 μm to not more than 20 μm; a second substrate opposing to the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer sandwiched in a vertical direction between the first substrate and the second substrate; a light shielding member provided on the second substrate sandwiched, as viewed in a vertical direction, between the pixel electrode of the pixel and another pixel electrode of an adjacent pixel that is adjacent to the pixel, the signal line being interposed between the pixel and the adjacent pixel; wherein in the vertical direction the light shielding member overlaps the pixel electrode; wherein in the vertical direction a width of overlap of the light shielding member and the another pixel electrode of the adjacent pixel is within a range of not less than 0.6 μm and not more than 5 μm; and wherein the scanning line is provided on a substrate of the first substrate, wherein the signal line and the pixel electrode are each provided above the scanning line via an insulating film, wherein relative locations of the signal line and the pixel electrode with respect to said substrate are different from each other.
