Abstract
An LCD device according to a group of embodiments comprises array and counter substrates, a liquid-crystal layer and a liquid-crystal alignment layer, where the array substrate or the counter substrate further comprises: a pattern of color filter layer, formed of a plurality of color regions; a pattern of light-shielding film, comprising band-shaped portions that run along boundaries of the color regions; and protrusions formed by the color filter layer and run along boundaries of the color regions; and boundaries between the color regions being respectively deviated from centerlines of the band-shaped portions by 1 μm or more.
Claims8
A liquid-crystal display (LCD) device comprising:
- an array substrate having an array of scanning lines and an array of signal lines, in a view area;
- a counter substrate;
- a liquid-crystal layer held between the substrates;
- and
- a liquid-crystal alignment layer that causes aligning of liquid-crystal molecules in a direction along the substrates;
- the array substrate or the counter substrate further comprising:
- a pattern of color filter layer, formed of a plurality of color regions;
- a pattern of a light-shielding film, comprising band-shaped portions that run along boundaries of the color regions;
- and
- protrusions that are formed by the color filter layer and run along the boundaries between the color regions;
- and
- the boundaries being respectively deviated from centerlines of the band-shaped portions by 1 μm or more, wherein
- in a manner to sandwich each of the signal lines in a plan view, auxiliary capacitor lines are arranged in parallel with the signal lines, width dimensions of the auxiliary capacitor lines differ among those sandwiching a portion of one of the signal lines, and the width dimensions of the auxiliary capacitor lines are increased and decreased according to a distance of offsetting the centerlines of the signal lines respectively from the centerlines of the band-shaped portions.
