Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a vessel made of transparent substrates being secured by a sealing material to each other and opposed to each other; a liquid crystal layer sealed in said vessel between said transparent substrates; a display part made of multiple pixel areas arranged in a spreading direction of said liquid crystal layer within said vessel; and a plurality of spacers formed in said display part and secured to one of said transparent substrates, said plurality of spacers including first spacers and second spacers, wherein said first spacers are formed higher than said second spacers before said transparent substrates are secured to each other, and said first spacers are more flexible than said second spacers so as to become shorter after said transparent substrates are secured to each other such that said first spacers maintain intimate contact with another of said transparent substrates even after said liquid crystal layer is thermally expanded so that a gap between said transparent substrates becomes greater than heights of said second spacers.
