Abstract
On an opposite substrate, such a protrusion that is not contact with an array substrate is disposed. Alternatively, on the array substrate, such a protrusion that is not contact with the opposite substrate is formed of the same material as a spacer. Still alternatively, a large wall-like spacer is disposed on the array substrate. This reduces an amount of liquid crystal sandwiched by the substrates, and thus suppresses generation of low-temperature bubbles in the liquid crystal.
