Abstract

According to one embodiment, a display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate includes a plurality of pixels and a plurality of color filters. The plurality of pixels include a first pixel and a second pixel that display an identical color. The second pixel is disposed in a diagonal direction relative to the first pixel. Each of a first color filter corresponding to the first pixel and a second color filter corresponding to the second pixel includes a first filter part formed at a position overlapping an opening of a pixel corresponding to the color filter in plan view, and a second filter part formed at a position overlapping a non-opening area of the pixel in plan view.

each of a first color filter of the plurality of color filters, the first color filter corresponding to the first pixel, and a second color filter of the plurality of color filters, the second color filter corresponding to the second pixel, includes: a first filter part formed at a position overlapping an opening of a pixel corresponding to the color filter in plan view; and a second filter part at least partially connected to the first filter part, the second filter part being formed at a position overlapping a non-opening area of the pixel in plan view.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first filter part and the second filter part each have a rectangular shape, and

the second filter part is smaller in area than the first filter part.

3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein the second filter part included in each of the first color filter corresponding to the first pixel and the second color filter corresponding to the second pixel is formed at a position outside a straight line along a diagonal direction in which the first and second pixels are adjacent to each other.

4. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the second filter part included in each of the first color filter corresponding to the first pixel and the second color filter corresponding to the second pixel is formed on a straight line along a diagonal direction in which the first and second pixels are adjacent to each other, and

a first filter part included in the first color filter is further connected to a second filter part included in the second color filter.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second filter part is formed at a position overlapping an area where a scanning line supplied with a scanning signal and a signal line supplied with a video signal intersect.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and

a holding member configured to hold a gap between the first substrate and the second substrate that have the liquid crystal layer formed therebetween, wherein

the holding member is disposed at a position overlapping the second filter part in a plan view.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the holding member is disposed at a position overlapping a second filter part included in a color filter corresponding to a pixel that displays a specific color among the plurality of pixels.

8. The display device according to claim 7 , wherein the specific color is blue.

9. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the holding member includes a first holding member extending in a first direction in plan view and provided on the first substrate, and a second holding member extending in a second direction in plan view and provided on the second substrate.

10. A display device comprising:

a first substrate; and

a second substrate counter to the first substrate, wherein

the first substrate includes:

a plurality of pixels arranged on the first substrate; and

a plurality of color filters corresponding to the plurality of pixels,

each of the plurality of color filters includes: a first filter part overlapping an opening of a pixel corresponding to the color filter in plan view; and a second filter part at least partially connected to the first filter part, the second filter part being formed at a position overlapping a non-opening area of the pixel in plan view,

the plurality of pixels include a first pixel that displays a first color, a second pixel that displays a second color, and a third pixel that displays a third color, and are arranged in a first direction and a second direction in a matrix form,

the first pixel is disposed between two of the third pixels arranged in the first direction,

the second pixel is disposed between two of the first pixels arranged in the first direction,

the third pixel is disposed between two of the second pixels arranged in the first direction,

each of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel is adjacent to a pixel that displays a different color in the second direction,

in two of the first pixels adjacent to each other in a diagonal direction relative to the first direction and the second direction, a first filter part included in a color filter corresponding to one first pixel of the two of the first pixels is further connected to a second filter part included in a color filter corresponding to the other first pixel of the two of the first pixels, in two of the second pixels adjacent to each other in a diagonal direction relative to the first direction and the second direction, in two of the second pixels adjacent to each other in a diagonal direction relative to the first direction and the second direction, a first filter part included in a color filter corresponding to one second pixel of the two of the second pixels is further connected to a second filter part included in a color filter corresponding to the other second pixel of the two of the second pixels, and in two of the third pixels adjacent to each other in a diagonal direction relative to the first direction and the second direction, in two of the third pixels adjacent to each other in a diagonal direction relative to the first direction and the second direction, a first filter part included in a color filter corresponding to one third pixel of the two of the third pixels is further connected to a second filter part included in a color filter corresponding to the other third pixel of the two of the third pixels” change into “in two of the first pixels adjacent to each other in a diagonal direction relative to the first direction and the second direction, the first filter part included in a color filter corresponding to one first pixel of the two of the first pixels is further connected to a second filter part included in a color filter corresponding to the other first pixel of the two of the first pixels, in two of the second pixels adjacent to each other in a diagonal direction relative to the first direction and the second direction, the first filter part included in a color filter corresponding to one second pixel of the two of the second pixels is further connected to a second filter part included in a color filter corresponding to the other second pixel of the two of the second pixels, and in two of the third pixels adjacent to each other in a diagonal direction relative to the first direction and the second direction, the first filter part included in a color filter corresponding to one third pixel of the two of the third pixels is further connected to a second filter part included in a color filter corresponding to the other third pixel of the two of the third pixels.
