Abstract
A liquid crystal display device is composed of (1) a first substrate which is equipped with at least gate bus-lines, source bus-lines, a switching element array, pixel electrodes, and a source driver and a gate driver for driving the switching electrode array, (2) a second substrate on which a counter electrode is provided, and (3) liquid crystal provided between the first and second substrates. A color filter formation-use driver is provided with respect to either the gate bus-lines or the source bus-lines, and color filters are formed on the pixel electrodes by the use of the color filter formation-use driver. By doing so, color filters can be formed in a simple and easy manner, with input of a small number of signals, without using the drivers which are designed for driving the liquid crystal display device.
