Abstract

The present invention provides a liquid crystal display device which can enhance quality and reliability of image display by preventing the generation of bubbles in the inside of a liquid crystal display panel and, at the same time, by suppressing leaking of light from an end of a black matrix film. In the liquid crystal display panel which sandwiches a liquid crystal layer between two glass substrates, the liquid crystal layer is surrounded by a sealing material having a predetermined width. On one glass substrate, a black matrix film and an overcoat film are arranged from one-glass-substrate side such that the black matrix film and the overcoat film overlap the sealing material. The black matrix film is, in the widthwise direction of the sealing material, formed into a planar flat black matrix film until a middle position of the sealing material from a side on which the liquid crystal layer is arranged, and is formed into a slit-shaped slit black matrix film from the middle position. Due to such a constitution, an adhesion area between the glass substrate and the overcoat film under an applied region of the sealing material is enlarged and hence, an adhesion strength is increased thus largely enhancing an adhesion strength.

Claims (9)

1. A liquid crystal display device having a liquid crystal display panel formed by sandwiching a liquid crystal layer between a pair of substrates, wherein

the liquid crystal display panel is configured such that the liquid crystal layer is surrounded by a sealing material having a predetermined width,

a first organic resin film and a second organic resin film are arranged on one substrate out of the pair of substrates in a state that the first organic resin film and the second organic resin film overlap the sealing material from one substrate side, and

the first organic resin film is formed, in the widthwise direction of the sealing material, into a planar shape until a middle position of the sealing material from a side on which the liquid crystal layer is arranged, and is formed into a slit shape from the middle position.

2. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is configured such that the second organic resin film is inserted into slit-shaped slit portions formed in the first organic resin film.

3. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is configured such that the second organic resin film is brought into contact with one substrate at the slit portions.

4. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is configured such that the first organic resin film extends from a region where the liquid crystal layer is arranged.

5. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is configured such that color filters are arranged on one substrate, and the first organic resin film is made of the same material as a light shielding film arranged between the color filters.

6. A liquid crystal display device according to claim 5 , wherein the liquid crystal display panel is configured such that the second organic resin film is made of the same material as an overcoat layer arranged over the color filters.
