Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device comprising:a pair of substrates including a first substrate and a second substrate; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the pair of substrates; a color filter formed on a surface of said first substrate facing said liquid crystal layer and a black matrix interposed between the color filter and the first substrate; a first spacer formed at a position corresponding to the black matrix and extending toward the second substrate; a pixel electrode having a voltage applied thereto according to an image signal, a counter electrode having a predetermined voltage applied thereto, and a video signal line, each of the pixel electrode, the counter electrode and the video signal line being formed over the second substrate; and a second spacer formed at a position corresponding to the video signal line and extending toward the first substrate, a top face of the second spacer and an opposing top face of the first spacer being joined so that the first and second spacers delimit a gap between said pair of first and second substrates; wherein a specific resistance of the first spacer is smaller than a specific resistance of the second spacer.
