Patent ID: 7830477

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate facing the first substrate and having a common electrode; and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, the first substrate comprising: a plurality of pixels, each pixel being connected to a data line and a gate line; a thin film transistor electrically connected to the data line and the gate line; a pixel electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor; a color filter which includes a first sub color filter, a second sub color filter and a third sub color filter, each of the first, second and third sub color filters including a different color; and a shield electrode which receives a common voltage and is disposed substantially parallel to the data line along a boundary between adjacent pixels on the color filter, wherein the color filter disposed below the shield electrode comprises a convex region which protrudes toward the second substrate, the plurality of pixels comprise a first pixel including the first sub color filter, a second pixel including the second sub color filter and a third pixel including the third sub color filter, and the third sub color filter forms the convex region between the first sub color filter and the second sub color filter on a first boundary between the first pixel and the second pixel along the data line, wherein, the shield electrode overlaps adjacent data lines and is disposed between adjacent pixel electrodes.
