Claim:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: an array substrate including signal lines, scanning lines, and pixel electrodes arrayed in an image display area, and further including elongated protrusions, each of which is made from a resin film; a counter substrate including counter protuberances, each of which is located to abut on a corresponding one of the elongated protrusions to form a spacer, and a planarization film; a liquid crystal layer held between the array substrate and the counter substrate; and a sealing material configured to seal the liquid crystal layer, wherein each of the elongated protrusions of the array substrate extends in such a way as to cover a corresponding one of the signal lines and in a rib-like manner along the corresponding signal line, each of the counter protuberances of the counter substrate is formed integrally with the planarization film and is formed to extend along a direction intersecting a corresponding one of the elongated protrusions, and an outer edge of the planarization film is located nearer to a central portion of the liquid crystal display device than an inner edge of the sealing material.
