Patent ID: 7133108

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate on a main surface thereof, a black mask and color filters, each arranged in an aperture of the black mask, being formed; a liquid crystal layer; a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate across the liquid crystal layer and stuck to the first substrate by a sealing material applied to peripheries of a main surface of the first substrate facing the liquid crystal layer and of a main surface of the second substrate facing the liquid crystal layer; a stacked structure formed on the main surface of the second substrate by stacking in order first signal lines, an insulating film covering the first signal lines, and second signal lines each overlappingly intersecting the first signal lines over the insulating film therebetween; a plurality of pixel regions each formed as being surrounded by respective neighboring first signal lines and second signal lines, and having a pixel electrode; and first spacers and second spacers both formed on the main surfaces of the first substrate, and arranged between pixel electrodes of adjacent pixel regions and in the liquid crystal layer, wherein each of the second spacers is ordinarily spaced from the stacked structure formed on the second substrate to accommodate the liquid crystal layer therebetween, and each of the first spacers ordinarily contacts directly with the stacked structure formed on the second substrate, wherein portions of the stacked structure contacting with the first spacers are thicker than other portions of the stacked structure corresponding to the second spacers with the liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween, and wherein a distance between the stacked structure and each of the first spacers is longer than a distance between the stacked structure and each of the second spacers.
