1. A lateral electric field mode liquid crystal device comprising:

  • a first substrate;

    a second substrate;

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

    pixel electrodes and common electrodes which are formed on a surface of the first substrate disposed close to the liquid crystal layer, the lateral electric field mode liquid crystal device driving the liquid crystal layer by an electric field generated between the pixel electrodes and the common electrodes,wherein on a surface of the second substrate disposed close to the liquid crystal layer, a light shielding layer which is formed in areas including an area disposed between the pixel electrodes in a plan view and is capable of absorbing at least visible light, a coloring layer which is formed so as to overlap with the pixel electrodes in a plan view and is capable of transmitting light in a particular wavelength range, an overcoat layer for protecting the coloring layer, and an alignment film are formed in this order, andwherein an electrostatic shielding layer formed of a transparent conductive material is formed on a surface of the overcoat layer disposed close to the second substrate and a surface of the light shielding layer disposed close to the liquid crystal layer;

    wherein the coloring layer is formed on a surface of the electrostatic shielding layer disposed close to the liquid crystal layer; and

    wherein the electrostatic shielding layer is not formed in at least a portion of an outer edge portion of the second substrate.
