Patent ID: 8212975

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate on a surface of which are formed, a first color film which has a color other than black, and one portion of which configures a first pixel, a second color film which has a color, other than black, which differs from that of the first color film, and one portion of which configures a second pixel adjacent to the first pixel, a third color film which has a color, other than black, which differs from those of the first color film and second color film, and at least one portion of which configures a third pixel, and a fourth color film which has a color, other than black, which differs from those of the first color film and second color film; a second substrate; and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and second substrate, wherein the first color film and second color film have an overlapping portion in which they overlap each other in the boundary between the first pixel and second pixel, and the fourth color film, being formed on the overlapping portion, configures a spacer which defines the space between the first substrate and second substrate; wherein the sum of the thickness of the first color film and second color film in the overlapping portion is smaller than the sum of the thickness of the first color film in the first pixel and the thickness of the second color film in the second pixel; and a conductive film and an insulating film are formed on top of the first pixel, the second pixel, and the third pixel, and a top surface of the fourth color film is such that the fourth color film is exposed.
