Abstract
A matrix-type liquid crystal display device is constituted by a pair of substrates and a liquid crystal disposed between the substrates. At least one of the substrates including one on a viewer side includes a transparent substrate having thereon transparent electrodes, auxiliary electrodes of a metal electrically connected with the transparent electrodes respectively associated therewith and a blue filter disposed closer to the viewer side so as to mask at least 75% of a total planar area of the auxiliary electrodes as viewed from the viewer side. As a result, the reflected light lowering the recognizability of a display on the liquid crystal device can be decreased without incurring a substantial increase in production cost.
