Abstract
In a liquid crystal display apparatus, a pair of substrates has surfaces which is so arranged as to be opposed to each other. The one of the opposed surfaces has a display region in which pixels are arrayed in a matrix. A liquid crystal layer is held between the opposed surfaces of the pair of substrates. A first shading portion is arranged to surround the display region. A second shading portion is arranged between the first shading portion and an outer peripheral end of the one of the substrates, and is formed as discontinuous segments.
