However, in the prior art described above, the boundary between the am display area, which is an aggregate of the tli element electrodes 5, and the TνT substrate 1 and the counter substrate 6
The liquid crystal existing in the parting area between the liquid crystal 8 and the sealing material 7 for sealing the liquid crystal 8 is not driven at all, whereas the liquid crystal within one image display area is always driven. At the border of the Im image display area where these areas touch, there is a problem in that the liquid crystal in the general portion no longer has the driving characteristics expected for a single cell. Specifically, the display characteristics of the aforementioned boundary portion are inferior to those of the portion sufficiently far away from the boundary of the image display area, resulting in variations in contrast, resulting in unevenness when looking at the entire %1m storage display area. It was a confusing display.

Therefore, it is possible to obtain a uniform and even display over the entire one picture edge display area without degrading the display characteristics at the border of the painter display area. In the implementation array shown in FIG. 1, interference electrodes are formed in areas corresponding to three timing lines and three data lines, but if we also consider the effect on the occurrence and expansion of unevenness over time, The larger the area where the interference electrode is formed, the better.
