Abstract
According to one embodiment, a liquid crystal display device includes a first area, second area, liquid crystal layer, and a plurality of pixels. Each subpixel includes an opening area including a first opening area and a second opening area. The pixels include a first pixel positioned in the first area and a second pixel positioned over a boundary of the first area and the second area. The opening area of the second pixel is smaller than the opening area of the first pixel when opening areas of subpixels of same color are compared. An each imaginary line showing the boundary of the first opening area and the second opening area is a same straight line.

A display device having a display area, the display area comprising:
- a plurality of scanning lines each extending in a first direction and arrayed in a second direction crossing the first direction;
- a plurality of pixels arrayed in the first direction and the second direction;
- and
- a light shielding layer over the plurality of pixels,
- wherein
- the plurality of pixels comprise a first pixel having a first pixel electrode, a second pixel having a second pixel electrode, the second pixel being adjacent to the first pixel in the second direction, a third pixel having a third pixel electrode, the third pixel being adjacent to the second pixel in the second direction, a fourth pixel having a fourth pixel electrode, the fourth pixel being adjacent to the first pixel in the first direction, a fifth pixel having a fifth pixel electrode, the fifth pixel being adjacent to the fourth pixel in the first direction, and a sixth pixel having a sixth pixel electrode, the sixth pixel being adjacent to the second pixel in the first direction, the sixth pixel being adjacent to the fourth pixel in the second direction,
- the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel are in a same column,
- the first pixel, the fourth pixel, and the fifth pixel are in a same row,
- the second pixel and the sixth pixel are in the same row,
- the fourth pixel and the sixth pixel are in the same column,
- the light shielding layer comprises a first opening corresponding to the first pixel electrode, a second opening corresponding to the second pixel electrode, a third opening corresponding to the third pixel electrode, a fourth opening corresponding to the fourth pixel electrode, a fifth opening corresponding to the fifth pixel electrode, and a sixth opening corresponding to the sixth pixel electrode, and
- each of a width of the second opening in the second direction, a width of the third opening in the second direction, a width of the fourth opening in the second direction, a width of the fifth opening in the second direction, and a width of the sixth opening in the second direction is smaller than a width of the first opening in the second direction.
