Patent ID: 7746428

Claim:
A liquid crystal display element comprising: a first transparent substrate; a second substrate which faces the first transparent substrate in an opposed manner by way of a predetermined gap therebetween; a frame-like sealing material which is made of an ultraviolet-ray curing material and is sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate; a liquid crystal composition sealed in a space defined inside the frame-like sealing material; a plurality of display pixels which are formed between the first substrate and the second substrate by a plurality of electrodes which are formed on at least one of the first substrate and the second substrate; and a black matrix which defines respective profiles of the plurality of display pixels and, at the same time, is made of a light blocking material which is formed to surround a display region formed of the plurality of display pixels, wherein an overlapping width of the frame-like sealing material and the black matrix on a peripheral portion along the display region is 0.2 mm or less, and wherein an overlapping width of the frame-like sealing material and the black matrix on a peripheral portion along the display region is 20% or less of a width of the frame like sealing material.
