Liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display device includes a TFT substrate having a display area in which pixels each wutg a pixel electrode and a TFT are arranged in a matrix form, a counter substrate disposed opposite to the TFT substrate, a sealing material formed in the periphery to bond the TFT substrate and the counter substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between an orientation film formed on the TFT substrate and an orientation film formed on the counter substrate. A first, second or third color filter is formed corresponding to each of the pixels in the display area of the TFT substrate, and an orientation film stopper is formed by an overlapping portion of the first, second or third color filter, outside of the display area. A profile of the orientation film formed on the TFT substrate is defined by the orientation film stopper.
