Display device and liquid crystal display device

A display device comprising:

• a first area including a display area;
• a second area including a part of the display area, and adjacent to the first area;
• a boundary between the first area and the second area, the boundary comprising a linear first boundary parallel to a first direction and a curved second boundary connected to the linear first boundary, the boundary surrounding the first area;
• a plurality of pixels arranged in matrix in the first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, each of the pixels comprising a plurality of subpixels of a plurality of colors arranged in the first direction;
• and
• a light-shielding layer comprising a first light-shielding portion located in the second area, and forming an outline of an aperture region of each of the subpixels, wherein
• the pixels include:
• N or more pixels continuously arranged in the first direction in a first round area through which the second boundary passes;
• a pixel located in a second round area through which the second boundary passes, or less than N pixels continuously arranged in the first direction in the second round area;
• and
• a plurality of pixels located in a first display area which includes a straight area and does not include the first round area and the second round area, the straight area through which the linear first boundary passes and which extends in parallel with the linear first boundary in the first area,
• an end portion of the first light-shielding portion on the first area side comprises:
• a straight linear first end portion located on the linear first boundary in the straight area;
• a curved linear second end portion located on the curved second boundary in the first round area;
• and
• a stepwise linear third end portion which extends such that the stepwise linear third end portion is bent in the first direction and the second direction in the second round area,
• the display area includes the first display area,
• the boundary is equivalent to an ideal outline of the display area,
• the end portion of the first light-shielding portion is an edge of the first light-shielding portion on the first area side,
• each of the straight linear first end portion, the curved linear second end portion, and the stepwise linear third end portion forms a part of an outline of each of corresponding aperture regions of the aperture regions, and
• in the aperture regions,
• the aperture regions adjusted by the straight linear first end portion don't include an aperture region across the ideal outline,
• the aperture regions adjusted by the curved linear second end portion don't include the aperture region across the ideal outline, and
• the aperture regions adjusted by the stepwise linear third end portion include the aperture region across the ideal outline,
• the light-shielding layer further comprises a plurality of second light-shielding portions and a plurality of third light-shielding portions at least located in the first area and intersecting each other, and defines the aperture regions,
• the second light-shielding portions extend in the first direction and are arranged such that the second light-shielding portions alternate with the aperture regions in the second direction,
• the third light-shielding portions extend in the second direction and are arranged such that the third light-shielding portions alternate with the aperture regions in the first direction,
• the third light-shielding portions comprise:
• a third light-shielding portion belonging to a first group and including:
• a third linear portion having a third width in the first direction, and forming an outline of each of the aperture regions located in the first display area;
• and
• a fourth linear portion having a fourth width greater than the third width in the first direction, and adjusting an outline of each of the aperture regions located in the second round area;
• and
• a third light-shielding portion belonging to a second group and including:
• the third linear portion having the third width in the first direction, and forming the outline of each of the aperture regions located in the first display area;
• and
• a fifth linear portion having the third width in the first direction, and forming an outline of each of the aperture regions located in the first round area, and
• each of the aperture regions located in the second round area is shorter than each of the aperture regions located in the first display area in the first direction.
