Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a first substrate including a first insulating substrate, a first signal line arranged extending in a first direction, a second signal line extending in a second direction orthogonally crossing the first direction, and a first electrode extending in the second direction, the first and second signal lines and the first electrode being arranged on the first insulating substrate;
• a second substrate including a second insulating substrate, a color filter layer formed on the second insulating substrate facing the first substrate, and a second electrode formed of opaque wiring material on the color filter layer facing the first substrate and extending in the second direction on the both sides sandwiching the first electrode, wherein an edge of the color filter layer is located above the second signal line;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate and having liquid crystal molecules.
