Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:a liquid crystal display panel having a pair of substrates at least one of which is transparent, at least two kinds of color filters being formed on one of the pair of substrates, respective kinds of which have different colors from each other, a black matrix being provided between the color filters, a group of electrodes being formed on either one of the pair of substrates, a layer of liquid crystal compounds which have dielectric anisotropy and are sealed between the pair of substrates, and an alignment control layer for aligning molecules in the layer of the liquid crystal compounds; and a driving means for applying driving voltage to the group of electrodes for displaying an image by the liquid crystal display panel, wherein said liquid crystal display is a lateral electric field type, a columnar spacer having small resistivity than that of the liquid crystal compounds is formed in a part of an area on the one of the pair of substrates with said alignment control layer formed on the columnar spacer directly, and the area is hidden by the black matrix.
