Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate having a liquid crystal layer therebetween; a plurality of gate signal lines and a plurality of video signal lines formed on the first substrate; a plurality of pixels each formed by adjacent gate signal lines and adjacent video signal lines of the plurality of gate signal lines and the plurality of video signal lines respectively; a reference electrode and a pixel electrode formed on the first substrate in each of the pixels; and a spacer that maintains a distance between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the spacer overlaps with and faces one of the adjacent gate signal lines, the reference electrode, and the pixel electrode of each of the pixels in a plane view, and wherein a width of the reference electrode of each pixel is wider than a width of the gate signal lines above a gate signal line portion on the first substrate.
