Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first substrate including pixel electrodes which are disposed, respectively, in a first color pixel on one end side of an active area and in a second color pixel on the other end side of the active area;
• a second substrate including a light-shield layer which surrounds the first color pixel and the second color pixel of the active area and extends to a peripheral area surrounding the active area, a first color filter which is disposed in the first color pixel, a second color filter which is disposed in the second color pixel and has a color different from a color of the first color filter, a dummy color filter which is stacked on the light-shield layer in the peripheral area, surrounds the active area, is spaced apart from the second color filter, is continuous with the first color filter and has the same color as the first color filter, and an overcoat layer which covers the light-shield layer, the first color filter, the second color filter and the dummy color filter;
• a columnar spacer configured to create a cell gap between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• a sealant which surrounds the dummy color filter in the peripheral area, is spaced apart from the dummy color filter, and attaches the first substrate and the second substrate;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer held between the first substrate and the second substrate.
