Curved display device

Abstract

A curved display device curved in a first direction includes: a first substrate including a plurality of signal lines, an insulating layer which covers the signal lines, a pixel electrode disposed on the insulating layer, and a shielding electrode electrically insulated from the pixel electrode and disposed along a signal line, which extends substantially in a second direction crossing the first direction, among the signal lines; a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate and including a common electrode; and a light control layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A display device comprises a curved first substrate, a curved second substrate, and a light control layer interposed between the curved first substrate and the curved second substrate,
 wherein the first substrate comprises:
 a first base substrate; 
 a plurality of signal lines disposed on the first base substrate; 
 an insulating layer disposed on the plurality of signal lines, the insulating layer comprises a plurality of color filters; 
 a pixel electrode disposed on the insulating layer; and 
 a shielding electrode disposed on the insulating layer and electrically insulated from the pixel electrode, the shielding electrode overlaps a boundary portion of two adjacent color filters of the plurality of color filters, 
   wherein the plurality of signal lines comprise:
 a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction; and 
 a plurality of data lines extending in a second direction intersecting the first direction, 
   wherein the second substrate comprises:
 a second base substrate; 
 a common electrode disposed under the second base substrate; and 
   a black matrix extending only in the first direction, and   wherein the shielding electrode extends in the second direction and overlaps two adjacent data lines of the plurality of data lines,   the pixel electrode is provided as a plurality of pixel electrodes, the shielding electrode is disposed between two horizontally adjacent pixel electrodes, and each of the plurality of pixel electrodes comprises a first sub-pixel electrode and a second su b-pixel electrode, and   the plurality of gate lines includes a gate line disposed between two vertically adjacent pixel electrodes, a main storage line is disposed between the first sub-pixel electrode and the second sub-pixel electrode and extending in the first direction, the black matrix extends along and overlaps both the gate line and the main storage line, and the shielding electrode and the black matrix are overlapped in areas in which two adjacent data lines cross the gate line and the main storage line.
