Claim:
1. A display device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate arranged to face each other; a plurality of gate signal lines extending in one direction and formed on the first substrate; a plurality of drain signal lines formed on the first substrate; a plurality of pixel regions defined by the gate signal lines and the drain signal lines; at least a thin film transistor formed in each of the plurality of pixel regions on the first substrate; a plurality of spacers at least a portion of which are overlapped with the gate signal lines formed on the second substrate; a plurality of counter voltage signal lines extending in parallel to the plurality of the gate signal lines and formed on the first substrate; and a counter electrode being electrically connected to the counter voltage signal lines and having a plurality of elongated portions extending so as to cover corresponding gate signal lines, each elongated portion being disposed between a corresponding gate signal line and a corresponding spacer, wherein the gate signal lines and the counter voltage signal lines are arranged alternately in another direction which is perpendicular to the one direction, and wherein each elongated portion of the counter electrode has a width along with the another direction greater than a width of a corresponding spacer along with the another direction.
