Liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display is provided that includes a first substrate on a back surface side, a second substrate on a display surface side and a liquid crystal layer provided between the first and second substrates. The display also includes a plurality of sub-pixels including one or more green sub-pixels and one or more non-green sub-pixels. The first substrate includes first and second wirings provided at the boundary between adjacent sub-pixels. When a green sub-pixel is adjacent to a non-green sub-pixel, the first wiring is provided at a shifted position that is closer to the non-green sub-pixel than the green sub-pixel. Accordingly, when a non-green image is to be displayed, the display can reduce the amount of color mixing of light passing through a green color filter with the light passing through a non-green color filter, particularly when the display is viewed at oblique angles.
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
a first substrate on a back surface side, the first substrate including a plurality of first wirings and a plurality of second wirings extending in a same direction; and
a second substrate on a display surface side, the first substrate and the second substrate being opposed to each other;
a liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a plurality of sub-pixels including one or more green sub-pixels and one or more non-green sub-pixels,
wherein a boundary between two adjacent sub-pixels of the plurality of sub-pixels is defined by a corresponding second wiring of the plurality of second wirings,
wherein a corresponding first wiring of the plurality of first wirings is provided at the boundary between the two adjacent sub-pixels,
wherein a first gap defines a shortest distance from a centerline, extending from the first substrate to the second substrate, of a corresponding first wiring separating a green sub-pixel and an adjacent non-green sub-pixel to a centerline, extending from the first substrate to the second substrate, of a corresponding second wiring separating the green sub-pixel and the adjacent non-green sub-pixel,
wherein a second gap defines a shortest distance from a centerline, extending from the first substrate to the second substrate, of a corresponding first wiring separating a first non-green sub-pixel and an adjacent second non-green sub-pixel to a centerline, extending from the first substrate to the second substrate, of a corresponding second wiring separating the first non-green sub-pixel and the adjacent second non-green sub-pixel,
wherein the first gap is greater than the second gap,
wherein the centerline of the corresponding first wiring separating the green sub-pixel and the adjacent non-green sub-pixel is closer to a centerline of the non-green sub-pixel than to a centerline of the adjacent green sub-pixel, and
wherein the plurality of first wirings are provided between the plurality of second wirings and the second substrate.

3. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first wirings are a plurality of data lines and the plurality of second wirings are a plurality of common metal lines.
4. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first wirings are a plurality of common metal lines and the plurality of second wirings are a plurality of data lines.
5. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein, for each of the plurality of first wirings, a first wiring width defines a distance from a first end of the first wiring to a second end of the first wiring in a second direction extending from a first sub-pixel to a second sub-pixel and perpendicular to the direction extending from the first substrate to the second substrate,
wherein, for each of the plurality of second wirings, a second wiring width defines a distance from a first end of a second wiring to a second end of the second wiring in the second direction, and
wherein the first wiring width is equal to the second wiring width.
