Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a matrix array of picture elements formed on a plurality of tiled switching array substrates, a first substrate having pixel electrodes arranged in parallel on the picture elements, a second substrate having a counter electrode, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The picture elements include first picture elements arranged on every column from both sides of a connecting boundary A-A' of the switching array substrates and second picture elements arranged alternately with the first picture elements, and have a black matrix for shielding a region between the adjacent picture elements. A plurality of data lines may be disposed collectively between the first picture elements. With the configuration as described above, a liquid crystal display device having high productivity, a large display screen and high display quality can be provided.
