A liquid crystal display device includes a substrate, a thin film transistor disposed on the substrate, a plurality of color filters disposed on the substrate, a light blocking member disposed between the plurality of color filters and on the thin film transistor, and a pixel electrode disposed on at least one of the plurality of color filters. The pixel electrode comprises a planar shape electrode and a plurality of minute branches extending from the planar shape electrode. The at least one of the plurality of color filters or the light blocking member comprises a step forming portion overlapped by the planar shape electrode.
