Liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗A first substrate includes a plurality of pixel electrodes, a plurality of common electrodes on which slits are disposed at predetermined intervals in a first direction and which extend in a second direction, and a plurality of auxiliary wirings that are in contact with and overlap the common electrodes. A second substrate includes a plurality of spacers, a plurality of wall-like sub-spacers, and a color filter layer in which adjacent pixels have different colors from each other. The wall-like sub-spacers are disposed at positions that overlap the slits.
