Patent ID: 8102498

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate having a common electrode film formed on a base insulation film and a pixel electrode film formed over the common electrode film via a pixel insulation film; a second substrate disposed on a side of the pixel electrode film so as to face the first substrate; a liquid crystal layer provided between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a spacer defining a distance between the first and second substrates, wherein, either the common electrode film or the pixel electrode film or both of them are partly removed in a region corresponding to the spacer, the pixel insulation film is partly removed in the region corresponding to the spacer inside of a hole formed in the region in which the pixel insulation film and the common electrode film are partly removed is covered with the pixel electrode film, and one of end faces of the spacer is in contact with the pixel electrode film at a bottom face of the hole.
