Patent ID: 8421964

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a TFT substrate including a display area in which pixels each having a pixel electrode and a TFT are arranged in a matrix form; a counter substrate disposed opposite to the TFT substrate; a sealing material formed in the periphery to bond the TFT substrate and the counter substrate together; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between an orientation film formed on the TFT substrate and an orientation film formed on the counter substrate; wherein a first color filter, a second color filter, or a third color filter is formed corresponding to each of the pixels in the display area of the TFT substrate; wherein an orientation film stopper is formed by an overlapping portion of the first color filter, the second color filter, or the third color filter, in an area between the display area and the sealing material; and wherein a profile of the orientation film formed on the TFT substrate is defined by the orientation film stopper.
