A liquid crystal display device includes first and second gate signal line formed on a first insulating substrate and arranged adjacent to one another, a terminal electrically connected to the first gate signal line, first and second thin-film transistors, a first pixel electrode electrically connected to an electrode of the first thin-film transistor, a second pixel electrode electrically connected to an electrode of the second thin-film transistor, a first and second video signal lines, a second insulating substrate which is transparent and superposed on the first insulating substrate, a transparent common electrode, and liquid crystals provided between the common electrode and the first and second pixel electrodes. A first light-shielding film is formed on the second insulating substrate and covers peripheries of the first and second pixel electrodes, and second light-shielding films are formed on the first insulating substrate.
