Magneto optical recording medium with metal shield layer configured to block light

A liquid crystal projector, comprising:

• a liquid crystal panel having
• a first substrate divided into a pixel portion having a plurality of pixel electrodes and a peripheral circuit portion around the pixel portion;
• a metal interconnecting layer provided in the peripheral circuit portion set at a second potential, said metal interconnecting layer providing metal interconnects on said pixel electrodes at least in said pixel portion;
• an insulating layer over said metal interconnecting layer;
• a metal light shielding layer disposed over the insulating layer and set at a first potential in a region corresponding to the pixel portion and set at a different potential in a region corresponding to the peripheral circuit portion;
• a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate with a predetermined space therebetween and having a counter electrode that defines a counter electrode potential that is equal to the first potential;
• a liquid crystal layer held between the first and second substrates;
• and
• optical means for applying light to the liquid crystal panel and enlarging and projecting transmitted light from the liquid crystal panel.

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a first substrate divided into a pixel portion and a peripheral circuit portion;
• a plurality of pixel electrodes within said pixel portion;
• a metal interconnecting layer providing metal interconnects in a first pattern over said pixel electrodes at least in said pixel portion, said metal interconnecting layer set at a second potential;
• an insulating layer over said metal interconnecting layer;
• a metal light shielding layer covering said portion to block light to said peripheral portion, said metallic light shielding layer disposed over the insulating layer and set at a first potential at least within said pixel portion and set at a different potential within the peripheral circuit portion;
• a second substrate disposed opposite to said first substrate with a predetermined space therebetween;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer in said predetermined space.
