Patent ID: 8553181

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate including pixel electrodes which are disposed, respectively, in a first color pixel on one end side of an active area and in a second color pixel on the other end side of the active area; a second substrate including a light-shield layer which surrounds the first color pixel and the second color pixel of the active area and extends to a peripheral area surrounding the active area, a first color filter which is disposed in the first color pixel, a second color filter which is disposed in the second color pixel, a dummy color filter which is stacked on the light-shield layer in the peripheral area, surrounds the active area, creates a first distance between second color filter and the dummy color filter and is continuous with the first color filter, and an overcoat layer which covers the light-shield layer, the first color filter, the second color filter and the dummy color filter; a columnar spacer configured to create a cell gap between the first substrate and the second substrate; a sealant which surrounds the dummy color filter in the peripheral area, is spaced apart from the dummy color filter, and attaches the first substrate and the second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate.
