Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first liquid crystal display panel in which a first main pixel including a plurality of subpixels of different colors is arranged in a matrix in a predetermined first direction and a predetermined second direction perpendicular to the predetermined first direction, the first liquid crystal display panel displaying a color image;
• and
• a second liquid crystal display panel that is positioned on a side, opposite a surface of an observer side, of the first liquid crystal display panel and overlaid on the first liquid crystal display panel, includes a second main pixel corresponding to a plurality of the first main pixel, the second liquid crystal display panel displaying a monochrome image, wherein
• the second main pixel is divided into a plurality of regions, and has pixel electrodes disposed in the plurality of regions and a plurality of light shields,
• at least a portion of the plurality of light shields is formed from a switching element that connects to each of the pixel electrodes,
• the plurality of light shields is arranged in a staggered manner,
• the light shields positioned within one set of the regions, formed from the regions adjacent to each other, forms one set of the light shields, and
• the one set of light shields equally blocks, for each color, light incident on the subpixels.
