Claim Text:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal display panel including a TFT substrate and a counter substrate facing the TFT substrate through a sealing material, with a liquid crystal sandwiched between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate, the TFT substrate is larger than the counter substrate, a plurality of scan lines and a plurality of image signal lines are formed in the TFT substrate, wherein a display area where pixels are formed inside the sealing material, wherein a flattening film of organic material is not formed the display area, wherein a first cylindrical spacer is formed within the display area in the counter substrate, wherein the first cylindrical spacer is in contact with a first layer structure in the TFT substrate, wherein the first layer structure is formed at a position where a TFT is not formed and in the display area, wherein a second cylindrical spacer is formed between the sealing material and the display area in the counter substrate, wherein a second layer structure is formed between the sealing material and the display area in the TFT substrate, the second layer structure has a metal layer, wherein the second cylindrical spacer is in contact with the second layer structure, wherein the metal layer of the second layer structure is floating, wherein an outside area of the TFT substrate does not overlap the counter substrate, a terminal portion is formed in the outside area, wherein an image signal line leader and a scan line leader are formed in the outside area the image signal line leader connected to the image signal line, and the scan line leader connected to the scan line, wherein a cylindrical spacer mount is formed in the outside area where the image signal line leader and the scan line leader are not formed, and wherein the cylindrical spacer mount formed in the terminal portion has the same layer structure as the first layer structure.
