A liquid crystal display apparatus includes an array substrate, a color filter substrate and a liquid crystal layer. The array substrate includes a transparent substrate, a plurality of pixel electrodes, a plurality of switching devices, a data line, a gate line and a light blocking pattern. The light blocking pattern is disposed on the transparent substrate. The light blocking pattern overlaps with at least a portion of the pixel electrodes neighboring each other and at least a portion of the data line. The light blocking pattern is disposed between the data line and the transparent substrate.
