Disclosed is a liquid crystal display (LCD) device equipped with a resin
black matrix, capable of preventing the light leakage phenomenon by
improving an OD (optical density) value of the resin black matrix. The
LCD device includes an array substrate formed with a thin film transistor
and a pixel electrode, a color filter substrate aligned opposite to the
array substrate and formed with a resin black matrix and a color filter,
a liquid crystal layer aligned between the array substrate and the color
filter substrate, and lower and upper polarizing plates attached to outer
surfaces of the array substrate and the color substrate and having
transmission axes extending in the same direction. The resin black matrix
has a transmission axis perpendicular to the transmission axes of the
lower and upper polarizing plates so that the resin black matrix has a
polarizing function.
