Patent ID: 7480022

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device of vertical alignment mode comprising: a pair of substrates disposed to be opposite each other; a liquid crystal layer, which includes liquid crystal having a negative dielectric anisotropy, disposed between the pair of substrates; electrodes each provided at the side of the liquid crystal layer of the pair of substrates; an alignment control portion, provided on at least one substrate of the pair of substrates, for controlling the alignment of the liquid crystal; and a light-shielding film provided on at least a first substrate of the pair of substrates; wherein the first substrate of the pair of substrates includes an insulation film, a contact hole penetrates through the insulation film, the electrode provided on the insulation film, a switching element connected to the electrode through the contact hole, and a signal line connected to the switching element, the light-shielding film is two-dimensionally overlapped with the alignment control portion and the contact hole, the light-shielding film is disposed at a position corresponding to the alignment control portion and the contact hole, the light-shielding film is individually provided with the signal line, and the light-shielding film is made of the same material as a material of the switching element or the signal line.
