Abstract
A liquid crystal display device having a non-rectangular display panel includes an active area which is defined by a peripheral shield layer. A plurality of pixels are formed in the active area in a matrix, and each pixel includes a plurality of sub-pixels to display colors different from each other. A part of the sub-pixels of peripheral pixels located in a peripheral region of the active area is covered with a peripheral shield layer. Shield elements are arranged in the sub-pixels which are not covered with the peripheral shield layer so that an effective display area of each of the sub-pixels of the peripheral pixel is substantially equal.

A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate including wiring regions;
- a second substrate facing the first substrate;
- a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates;
- a peripheral shield layer defining an active area formed of the first and second substrates and the liquid crystal layer in a non-rectangular shape to display images;
- a plurality of pixels formed in the active area, the pixels being arranged in a matrix and each pixel including a plurality of sub-pixels to display colors different from each other;
- and
- peripheral pixels located in a peripheral region of the active area, and
- wherein effective display areas of the sub-pixels in the peripheral pixels, in which at least one of the sub-pixels of at least one of the pixels is covered with the peripheral shield layer, are substantially equal.

- a plurality of pixels formed in the active area, the pixels being arranged in a matrix and each pixel including first, second and third sub-pixels to display colors different from each other;
- peripheral pixels arranged in a peripheral region of the active area so as to overlap with the peripheral shield layer;
- and
- wherein the first and second sub-pixels in a peripheral pixel are shielded by the peripheral shield layer, and shield elements are arranged in the second and third sub-pixels of said peripheral pixel so that each effective display area of the first, second and third sub-pixels is substantially equal.
