Abstract
A liquid crystal display panel is improved in production yield, production efficiency and in display quality due to its easiness of checking alignment of a polarizer with respect to its corresponding TFT substrate. The liquid crystal display panel is easily downsized. In the liquid crystal display panel, the TFT substrate is provided with alignment checking marks for checking alignment of the polarizer with respect to the TFT substrate. Each of these marks are formed by selectively removing a part of each of common electrode wiring layers, and disposed under a light shielding layer formed on a color filter substrate, which presents a sharp contrast between the light shielding layer and these wiring layers to enhance a visual checking operation of alignment of the polarizer. The light shielding layer prevents light leakage in these alignment checking marks.
