Abstract:
1. A display device, comprising: an active-matrix substrate including a plurality of switching elements that are arranged in matrix; a color filter substrate arranged so as to face the active-matrix substrate; and a display medium layer interposed between the active-matrix substrate and the color filter substrate, wherein the color filter substrate includes: wherein the light-shield layer includes switching element shielding portions to shield the switching elements from light, wherein the active-matrix substrate includes picture element electrodes, which are electrically connected to the switching elements, wherein the columnar spacers are arranged so as to overlap with the switching element shielding portions, and bottom ends of the columnar spacers extend to a height of the picture element electrodes, and wherein a columnar spacer overlaps a gate line connected to the switching element at a position offset from a center of the gate line with respect to a width direction of the gate line.
