Liquid crystal display

Abstract

An active matrix liquid crystal display device includes first and second substrates, a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates, and plural image signal lines and scan signal lines formed on the first substrate. Respective pixel regions are formed by adjacent image signal lines and adjacent scan signal lines and have at least an active device. A light shield layer is formed between the first substrate and at least one of the image signal lines and is elongated in a direction of extension of the at least one of the image signal lines. The light shield layer and the at least one of the scan signal lines are formed on a same layer on the first substrate.

1 . An active matrix liquid crystal display device comprising:
 first and second substrates;   a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates; and   plural image signal lines and scan signal lines formed on the first substrate;   wherein respective pixel regions are formed by adjacent image signal lines and adjacent scan signal lines and have at least an active device;   wherein a light shield layer is formed between the first substrate and at least one of the image signal lines and is elongated in a direction of extension of the at least one of the image signal lines; and   wherein the light shield layer and the at least one of the scan signal lines are formed on a same layer on the first substrate.   
   
   
       2 . An active matrix liquid crystal display device according to  claim 1 , wherein the light shield layer does not overlap the at least one of the scan signal lines. 
   
   
       3 . An active matrix liquid crystal display device according to  claim 1 , wherein the light shield layer is formed of electric conduction material. 
   
   
       4 . An active matrix liquid crystal display device according to  claim 1 , wherein an insulation layer is formed between the light shield layer and the at least one of the image signal lines. 
   
   
       5 . An active matrix liquid crystal display device according to  claim 1 , wherein a pixel electrode connected to the active device is formed in each pixel region, and wherein the light shield layer does not overlay the pixel electrode. 
   
   
       6 . An active matrix liquid crystal display device according to  claim 1 , wherein an optical shield film is formed on the second substrate, the optical shield film being arranged in a position overlapped on the at least one of the scan signal lines and the light shielding layer.
