Abstract

In an LCD, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a projection 6 is structured on top of insulation layer 8 on a TFT glass substrate 10 and under part of a black matrix 9 . The projection 6 encircles the transparent region in each pixel so that a spacer 17 cannot climb over the projection 6 and enter the transparent region even though a certain pressure is applied onto the substrates 10 and 11 . The width of the projection 6 is equal to or less than the diameter of the spacer 17 . The height of the projection 6 is equal to or longer than approximately 1% the length of the diameter of the spacer 17 , and it is preferable that it be equal to or longer than approximately 2%.

Claims (1)

1. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising at least one spacer which is positioned under an opaque region, and at least one projection which is formed under said opaque region, and on at least one of the inner-most surfaces of a first and a second substrate.
