A technique disclosed in the specification relates to preventing a reduction in aperture ratio and visible lines between bright and dark portions. A liquid crystal display in a technique disclosed in the specification includes a plurality of pixel arranged in a liquid crystal display panel in a plan view, a light blocking layer disposed between the plurality of pixels in a plan view, and a colorant layer provided to overlap each of the plurality of pixels. The light blocking layer includes a first region and a second region narrower than the first region in a plan view. The colorant layer has a transmittance lower in a region adjacent to the second region than a transmittance in a region adjacent to the first region.

Liquid crystal display and method for adjusting liquid crystal display

A display panel includes sub-pixel pairs arranged laterally at a predetermined pitch, the sub-pixel pair including two sub pixels displaying images for right and left eyes respectively. A parallax-barrier shutter panel includes sub apertures switching light-transmitting and light-blocking states by driving a liquid crystal layer held between two transparent substrates with transparent electrodes extending vertically. The sub apertures are arranged laterally at a pitch obtained by dividing a reference parallax-barrier pitch by N (N being an even number equal to or greater than four), the reference parallax-barrier pitch being determined on the basis of a predetermined design observation distance and the pitch of the sub-pixel pairs. The parallax-barrier shutter panel includes common driving areas obtained by dividing a display area laterally. (N&#xb7;M+N/2) pieces of the transparent electrodes (M being a positive integer) arranged in the common driving are connected with every N-th one of the transparent electrodes.
