  • Publication number: 20210302793
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a liquid crystal display device includes a first area, second area, liquid crystal layer, and a plurality of pixels. Each subpixel includes an opening area including a first opening area and a second opening area. The pixels include a first pixel positioned in the first area and a second pixel positioned over a boundary of the first area and the second area. The opening area of the second pixel is smaller than the opening area of the first pixel when opening areas of subpixels of same color are compared. An each imaginary line showing the boundary of the first opening area and the second opening area is a same straight line.

  • Patent number: 10831047
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a thin film transistor substrate, a counter substrate that faces the thin film transistor substrate, a liquid crystal composition that is arranged between the thin film transistor substrate and the counter substrate, an oriented film that arranges orientation of the liquid crystal composition contacting with the thin film transistor substrate, a seal material that seals the liquid crystal composition between the two substrates, and a driver circuit. The driver circuit has a light transmission area that is formed inside of the driver circuit, and is higher in light transmittance than an area in which a non-transparent conductive film forming the driver circuit is formed, and a high sealing property area in which the seal material and an insulating film come into direct contact with each other between the light transmission area and an outer edge of the thin film transistor substrate.
