Liquid crystal display device including arrangement of colored layer and columnar spacer

摘要

The present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device in which, even when a columnar spacer is misaligned, the columnar spacer can be light-shielded without reduction of an aperture ratio. According to the present invention, there is provided a liquid crystal display device which includes a pair of substrates spaced at a distance from each other by a plurality of columnar spacers, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the pair of substrates, and in which a pixel is formed by picture elements of a plurality of colors, the liquid crystal display device being featured in that one of the pair of substrates includes colored layers of a plurality of colors, and a light shielding layer, in that at least one of the colored layers of the plurality of colors has a region in which a colored layer of the same color is integrally arranged on respective picture elements adjacent to each other, and has a straight portion and an extension portion extending from the straight portion, in that at least one of the plurality of columnar spacers is provided at a position overlapping with the extension portion, and has a substantially rhombus-shaped surface or a substantially circular surface, which is in contact with the substrate, and the contour line of the extension portion has a shape corresponding to the contour line of the columnar spacer provided at the position overlapping with the extension portion.

1. A liquid crystal display device which includes a pair of substrates spaced at a distance from each other by a plurality of columnar spacers, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the pair of substrates, and is configured such that a pixel is formed by picture elements of a plurality of colors, wherein:
one of the pair of substrates includes colored layers of a plurality of colors, and a light shielding layer; at least one of the colored layers of the plurality of colors includes a region in which a colored layer of the same color is integrally arranged on respective picture elements adjacent to each other, and includes a straight portion and an extension portion extending from the straight portion; at least one of the plurality of columnar spacers is provided at a position overlapping with the extension portion, and includes a contour line having a substantial rhombus shape; the contour line of the columnar spacer includes a side having an inclined angle with respect to a contour line of the straight portion of the colored layer; and the contour line of the extension portion has a shape corresponding to the contour line of the columnar spacer provided at the position overlapping with the extension portion, and a contour line of the extension portion and the contour line of the columnar spacer both include portions that are substantially in parallel with each other.
