Patent ID: 8553194

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: first and second substrates disposed oppositely to each other; a first spacer formed on a side of the first substrate so as to be directly or indirectly abutted against a side of the second substrate; and a second spacer formed on the first substrate side so as to be spaced apart from the second substrate side; wherein a concavo-convex portion is formed in an area, of the second substrate, corresponding to the second spacer on the first substrate side; and a planarizing film made of a photosensitive resin formed on the first substrate side of the second substrate, wherein the concavo-convex portion is formed in an area, of the planarizing film, corresponding to the second spacer, and wherein the concavo-convex portion includes a dent portion formed integrally with the planarizing film; the first and second spacers are formed to have generally the same height in a direction perpendicular to a front surface of the first substrate; and a top of a convex portion of the dent portion is formed lower than an upper surface, of the planarizing film, in an area other than the dent portion.
