Abstract
In one embodiment, a liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate having a first pixel electrode and a first pillar-shaped spacer arranged in an active area, and a second pixel electrode and a second pillar-shaped spacer arranged in a shield area surrounding the active area. A shield layer is formed in the shape of a belt crossing above the first pillar-shaped spacer in the active area and extending to the shield area including a portion above the second pillar-shaped spacer. The height of a first seat layer formed above the first pillar-shaped spacer and including the shield layer, a first color filter layer and an overcoat layer is substantially the same as that of a second seat layer formed above the second pillar-shaped spacer and including the shield layer, a second color filter layer and the overcoat layer.
