Patent ID: 6897935

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a color filter substrate; a thin film transistor substrate; a plurality of liquid crystals between said color filter substrate and said thin film transistor substrate to form a matrix including a plurality of unit pixels arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, the unit pixels of each column being of the same color, and with adjacent columns of unit pixels having unit pixels of different colors; and a plurality of columnar spacers interposed between said color filter substrate and said thin film transistor substrate, wherein: said columnar spacers are provided in a plurality of pairs, each pair of columnar spacers being in a pair of two unit pixels adjacent to each other in a row or a column of the matrix, each pair of columnar spacers is spaced from all other pairs of columnar spacers by at least two pixels of a row or a column, and the two unit pixels of each pair bear signal charges that are opposite in polarity.
