Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate; a second substrate; and a liquid crystal display panel having liquid crystal sandwiched between said first substrate and said second substrate; characterized in that said second substrate has spacers in columnar form; said first substrate has a support layer in a region where said spacers in columnar form are formed; said support layer has a first layer in a form of an elongated strip extending in a first direction, and a second layer in a form of an elongated strip formed on said first layer and extending in a second direction which crosses said first direction at an angle of 70° to 110° so that said second layer crosses said first layer and extends in said second direction beyond edges of said elongated strip of said first layer which extends in said first direction; and and said second layer overlap only at a center region of said support layer where said first and second layer cross and form a thick-layered portion of said support layer thereat with respect to a thickness of other portions of said support layer, said thick-layered portion of said support layer being in contact with one of said spacers of said second substrate.
