Patent number: 9377656Abstract: According to the present invention, a liquid crystal display device driven by a transverse electric field system, which can prevent the occurrence of color unevenness in display, is provided. Namely, the liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes: a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The first substrate includes a first shield electrode with translucency, a supporting substrate, a light shielding layer, and a colored layer. The second substrate includes a common electrode and a pixel electrode, and assuming that the liquid crystal layer is the center of the liquid crystal display device, the first shield electrode is provided outwardly from the supporting substrate when seen from the center. The liquid crystal display device further comprises a first controlling circuit configured to apply a positive electric potential to the first shield electrode.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2013Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Katsuhiko Morishita, Takehiko Sakai, Shogo Nishiwaki, Masashi Chino, Masatoshi Kondo
