Abstract

The present invention is intended to control the color temperature of white exhibited by a liquid crystal display device. White is produced when light waves emitted through pixels associated with three colors of red, green, and blue have maximum intensities. The amounts of light emitted through the respective pixels are controlled by differentiating the shapes of the pixel electrodes disposed at the respective pixels from one another. Thus, the color temperature of white is controlled. Otherwise, the shapes of interceptive films disposed at the respective pixels are differentiated from one another in order to control light waves emitted through the respective pixels. Thus, the color temperature of white is controlled. The interceptive film may be shaped like the pixel electrode. Otherwise, the interceptive film may be realized with an interceptive pattern other than that of the pixel electrode or one of openings bored in a black matrix.

Claims (24)

1. A liquid crystal display device comprising:

a TFT substrate including a plurality of pixels surrounded by gate signal lines extending in a first direction and image signal lines extending in a second direction, and a common signal line extending in the first direction: and

a color filter substrate including a first color filer, wherein the plurality of pixels includes a first pixel, a second pixel and a third pixel disposed adjacent to each other in the second direction, the first pixel being disposed between the second pixel and the third pixel,

a first common electrode of the first pixel is connected to a second common electrode of the second pixel via a first bridging connection line, and is connected to a third common electrode of the third pixel via a second bridging connection line,

the first pixel includes a first portion where the first bridging connection line is connected to the common signal line, and a second portion where the second bridging connection line is connected to a metallic pattern, and

the first color filter corresponding to the first pixel includes a first recessed portion corresponding to the first portion and a second recessed portion corresponding to the second portion.

2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first pixel includes a first corner and a second corner disposed in the same side which extends in the second direction,

the first portion is located at the first corner, and

the second portion is located at the second corner.

3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein

a first semiconductor film disposed at an intersection portion where one of the image signal lines and one of the gate signal lines intersect each other in plain view.

4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 2 , wherein

the first semiconductor film is disposed between the one of the image signal lines and the one of the gate signal lines.

5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first bridging connection line and a pixel electrode of the first pixel are disposed in the same layer.

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

a second semiconductor film disposed at an intersection portion where one of the image signal lines and the common signal line intersect each other.

7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 6 , wherein

the second semiconductor film is disposed between the one of the image signal lines and the common signal line.

8. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 6 , wherein

the first semiconductor film and the second semiconductor film are disposed in the same layer.

9. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 6 , wherein

the first semiconductor film and the second semiconductor film constitute one single semiconductor layer.
