1. A liquid crystal display device having a plurality of picture elements arranged in a matrix of columns and rows, each of said picture elements comprising:
- a first substrate and a second substrate, said substrates facing each other and spaced apart for defining a space therebetween;
a first electrode formed on the surface of said first substrate facing said second substrate;
a color filter and a second electrode formed on the surface of said second substrate facing said first electrode and said first substrate;
each color filter on the second substrate having an area greater than the area of the first electrode on the first substrate with the second electrode formed on the surface of the color filter; and
a liquid crystal material filling the space between said electrodes and retained in said space.

Abstract
A multi-color liquid crystal display includes liquid crystal micro-shutters which open and close color filters arranged as dots in a mosaic or stripe pattern. Fine and clear color image display and color graphic display are realized in the device wherein the filters are within the LCD panel, being formed on one substrate and covered by the driving electrode.

23. A liquid crystal display device having a plurality of picture elements arranged in a matrix of columns and rows, each of the picture elements comprising:
-
a first substrate and an opposed spaced apart second substrate for defining a space therebetween; a first electrode on the surface of the first substrate facing the second substrate; a color filter and a second electrode on the surface of the second substrate facing the first electrode and the first substrate; a liquid crystal material filling the space between the electrodes and retained in the space; and means for reducing the leakage of incident light in the regions between the first electrodes of adjacent picture elements of the matrix. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
