Abstract

A display device includes a first light shielding area where two signal lines are arranged between the opening portions of mutually adjacent sub pixels, a second light shielding area where one signal line is arranged between the opening portions of mutually adjacent sub pixels, and a third light shielding area where one scanning line is arranged between the opening portions of mutually adjacent sub pixels. The display device further includes a first spacer arranged in the first light shielding area or the second light shielding area along the extending direction of the signal line and a second spacer arranged in the third light shielding area along the extending direction of the scanning line. The first spacer and the second spacer are arranged crosswise.

Claims (19)

1. A display device comprising:

a first light shielding area where two signal lines are arranged between opening portions of mutually adjacent sub pixels;

a second light shielding area where one signal line is arranged between opening portions of mutually adjacent sub pixels;

a third light shielding area where one scanning line is arranged between opening portions of mutually adjacent sub pixels;

a first spacer that is provided in the first light shielding area or the second light shielding area along an extending direction of the signal line;

a second spacer that is provided in the third light shielding area along an extending direction of the scanning line,

a first pixel including a red sub pixel, a green sub pixel, and a white sub pixel, and

a second pixel including a red sub pixel, a green sub pixel, and a blue sub pixel, wherein

the first spacer and the second spacer are arranged crosswise, and

a sub pixel which sandwiches the third light shielding area is the white sub pixel of the first pixel and the blue sub pixel of the second pixel, and the red sub pixel of the first pixel and the green sub pixel of the second pixel.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first spacer is provided on a side of an array substrate where the scanning line and the signal line are formed, and

the second spacer is provided on a side of an opposite substrate where a light shielding film forming the first to the third light shielding areas is arranged.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein

sub pixels of which opening portions are adjacent with the scanning line intervening therebetween are connected to the scanning line, and

drain electrodes respectively connected to pixel electrodes of the sub pixels are arranged with the scanning line intervening therebetween.

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein

the first spacer is arranged on the signal line in the first light shielding area in an upper layer than the pixel electrode, and

the second spacer crosses the two signal lines.
