LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS

Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed in a position opposite to the first substrate, a liquid crystal interposed between the first and second substrates, a plurality of color element regions provided on the second substrate, and a light shield formed so as to surround the color element regions. A width of the light shield varying depending on the color element region.
