Patent ID: 7755737

Claim:
A liquid crystal panel including a thin film transistor substrate formed with thin film transistors for driving pixel electrodes, a counter substrate provided in a manner opposed to the thin film transistor substrate, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the thin film transistor substrate and the counter substrate, the liquid crystal panel comprising: hole-filling columnar layer portions for filling recesses produced by forming the pixel electrodes in contact holes each formed for connecting each of the thin film transistors and an associated one of the pixel electrodes to each other; and cell gap-maintaining columnar layer portions for maintaining a cell gap between the thin film transistor substrate and the counter substrate, wherein respective heights of the hole-filling columnar layer portions are larger than respective depths of the contact holes, and wherein color-superimposed layers consisting of color filter layers are formed in areas where the cell gap-maintaining columnar layer portions are formed, and the color-superimposed layers are not formed in areas where the hole-filling columnar layer portions are formed, and top surfaces of the hole-filling columnar layer portions are exposed to the liquid crystal layer.
