Active matrix liquid crystal display device including wiring line with light blocking property columnar spacers and frame pattern around display area

Abstract

A liquid crystal display device has an array substrate and an opposite substrate arranged opposite to each other through a plurality of columnar spacers with a liquid crystal layer sandwiched therebetween. A plurality of wiring lines and coloring layers are provided over the array electrode. A frame pattern is formed on the array substrate at the outer side of the display area to prevent a light leakage at the outer peripheral edge of the display area. The frame pattern is so provided as to have a gap relative to the outermost peripheral side columnar spacers. At a gap between the frame pattern and the outermost peripheral side columnar spacers, a wiring line is provided with its portion formed in an overlapping relation to the frame pattern, thus blocking light.
