Liquid crystal panel

A liquid crystal panel comprising:

• an array substrate including
• sub-pixel electrodes that are arranged in a matrix,
• switching components that are arranged in a matrix,
• scanning lines that extend in a first direction to supply scanning signals to the switching components, and
• signal lines that extend in a second direction to supply image signals to the sub-pixel electrodes;
• a counter substrate disposed opposite the array substrate, the counter substrate including
• a sub-pixel in-between light blocking section configured to block light and being disposed to surround the sub pixel electrodes in a plan view in a normal direction of the counter substrate,
• a first projection projecting from the counter substrate toward the array substrate and including a projecting end that contacts a section of the array substrate to define a distance between the counter substrate and the array substrate, the first projection overlapping the sub-pixel in-between light blocking section, and
• second projections projecting from the counter substrate toward the array substrate and including projecting ends that are spaced from the array substrate, the second projections overlapping the sub-pixel in-between light blocking section;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer disposed between the array substrate and the counter substrate, wherein
• the sub-pixel in-between light blocking section includes switching component light blocking sections that extend in the first direction to overlap the scanning lines and signal line light blocking sections that extend in the second direction to overlap the signal lines,
• the first projection and each of the second projections are disposed such that a distance in the second direction between a center line of a corresponding one of the switching component light blocking sections extending in the first direction and a center of the each of the second projections is smaller than a distance in the second direction between the center line of the corresponding one of the switching component light blocking sections and a center of the first projection, and
• the first projection and the second projections are disposed at intersections between the corresponding one of the switching component light blocking sections and the signal line light blocking sections, respectively.
