Abstract

A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and liquid crystal. The first substrate includes pixel electrodes, at least one common electrode, and a circuit wiring. The second substrate is opposed to the first substrate and includes a translucent conductive film. The liquid crystal is held between the first substrate and the second substrate. The circuit wiring is arranged outside a pixel area in which a plurality of pixels, which are formed of the pixel electrodes and the at least one common electrode, are arranged. The translucent conductive film is arranged on an opposite side of the second substrate to a side where the liquid crystal is present, and the translucent conductive film is opposed to the pixel electrodes and the at least one common electrode. The translucent conductive film is maintained at a predetermined electric potential. The translucent conductive film has an outer periphery that is located closer to a center of the second substrate than an outer periphery of the second substrate.

Claims (21)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a first substrate that includes pixel electrodes, at least one common electrode, and a circuit wiring;

a second substrate that is opposed to the first substrate and that includes a translucent conductive film; and

liquid crystal that is held between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein
