Abstract
In order to reduce the number of processes for manufacturing spacers and to prevent quality degradation resulting from a cell gap, a spacerin a semi-transmission areais formed outside of a region of a bump layerB. Thus, it is made possible to manufacture the spacer in the transmission regionand the spacer outside of the region of the bump layer in the same process. Accordingly, the number of processes can be reduced. Moreover, it is made possible to determine the cell gap in the semi-transmission areaby a single element of a spacer. Accordingly, precision degradation of the cell gap, which results from the bump layer, can be prevented, and high display quality can be obtained.
