Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A display device comprising:
a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in a display region of a first substrate;
a color filter provided on a second substrate opposing the first substrate and overlapping the pixel electrode;
a planarization insulating layer provided on the color filter;
a common electrode provided on the planarization insulating layer and having an opening;
a first spacer arranged between the pixel electrode and the common electrode and overlapping the opening;
a first light-shielding layer provided between the first substrate and the pixel electrode and overlapping the first spacer; and
a second spacer arranged between the pixel electrode and the common electrode and not overlapping the opening, wherein
a first width of the opening is smaller than a second width of the first spacer,
the first width is a width of the opening in a direction parallel to a main surface of the second substrate in a cross-sectional view,
the second width is a width of a common electrode side of the first spacer in a direction parallel to a main surface of the second substrate in the cross-sectional view,
the first spacer has an outer edge that overlaps the common electrode, and
a number of second spacers per unit area provided in a center of the display region is different from a number of second spacers per unit area provided in a peripheral area of the display region.
