Patent ID: 7826028

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a liquid crystal layer; a second substrate; a plurality of gate signal lines and a plurality of drain signal lines which are formed on the second substrate; a plurality of pixel regions which are defined in a pair of the gate signal lines and a pair of the drain signal lines; at least one spacer region having a plurality of spacers and being formed on the first substrate and located in-between adjacent pixel regions, heights of the spacers in the spacer region from the first substrate being substantially the same; and two metal layers sandwiching an insulating layer are formed in a position facing a first spacer in the spacer region on the second substrate, wherein only one of the two metal layers and the insulating layer are formed in another position facing a second spacer in the spacer region on the second substrate, and the liquid crystal layer is interposed between the second spacer and the second substrate.
