Abstract:
There is provided a liquid crystal display (LCD) device that prevents light leaks near spacers. The LCD device controls the optical transmissivity of a liquid crystal layer interposed between substrates disposed opposite each other, by means of an electric field generated in the layer-thickness direction of the liquid crystal layer. The LCD device includes spacers on a liquid-crystal-side surface of one substrate, signal lines formed on a liquid-crystal-side surface of the other substrate, an insulating film formed to cover the signal lines, and electrodes on the insulating film's upper surface. Each electrode contributes to controlling the optical transmissivity of the liquid crystal layer. Each spacer has a vertex surface disposed opposite to the signal lines. A portion of each electrode extends to the upper surface of a corresponding signal line. The extended portion is opposite to a part of a spacer's vertex surface disposed opposite to the corresponding signal line.

Claim (Index 1):
A liquid crystal display device comprising:\n a first substrate and a second substrate; a seal material between the first substrate and the second substrate; a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate; a liquid crystal molecule in the liquid crystal layer, a gate signal line formed on an inner surface of the second substrate; a pixel electrode; a reference electrode which causes an electric field controlling the liquid crystal molecule to form between the reference electrode and the pixel electrode; an organic material layer disposed between the gate signal line and the reference electrode; and a layer disposed between the pixel electrode and the reference electrode, wherein the pixel electrode is made of transparent conductive material, the reference electrode is made of transparent conductive material, the gate signal line has edges facing each other, the reference electrode is formed on the gate signal line and covers the edges in plane view, a non-formation region of the organic material layer is outside a display area in plane view, and extends in a direction in which the sealing material extends and a formation region of the organic material layer, the non-formation region the formation region and the display area are arranged in this order from an edge of the second substrate towards inside of the second substrate in plane view.
