Liquid crystal panel and liquid crystal display apparatus

A liquid crystal panel comprising:

• a liquid crystal layer containing liquid crystal molecules;
• a first alignment film in contact with a front surface of the liquid crystal layer;
• and
• a second alignment film in contact with a rear surface of the liquid crystal layer,
• the liquid crystal panel being curved in the shape of a cylindrical surface, wherein,
• the first alignment film includes a plurality of first strip portions extending along a first direction and causing the liquid crystal molecules to be aligned;
• the second alignment film includes a plurality of second strip portions extending along a second direction and causing the liquid crystal molecules to be aligned;
• the first direction is a peripheral direction of the cylindrical surface;
• and
• the second direction is a direction which crosses the peripheral direction;
• the liquid crystal panel further including a plurality of first light shielding portions extending along the peripheral direction, and a plurality of second light shielding portions extending along a direction which crosses the peripheral direction;
• wherein
• the plurality of first light shielding portions and the plurality of second light shielding portions define a plurality of pixels;
• the plurality of second light shielding portions are closer to a rear surface of the liquid crystal panel than is the second alignment film;
• the plurality of second light shielding portions are a plurality of first wiring lines extending along a direction which crosses the peripheral direction;
• the plurality of first light shielding portions are a plurality of second wiring lines extending along the peripheral direction;
• a plurality of switching elements are in a matrix arrangement, and
• each of the plurality of switching elements is electrically connected to one of the plurality of first wiring lines and one of the plurality of second wiring lines;
• the liquid crystal panel further including a first substrate and a second substrate opposed to each other via the liquid crystal layer, wherein;
• the first substrate includes the first alignment film;
• the first substrate further includes a color filter layer having colored layers and a plurality of light shielding members forming openings therebetween, wherein the colored layers are not disposed in the entire openings;
• the second substrate includes the second alignment film;
• and
• the second substrate further includes the plurality of first wiring lines and the plurality of second wiring lines.
