the plurality of first protrusions are located along an extending direction of the sealing material and separated from each other,
the plurality of second protrusions are located along the extending direction of the sealing material and separated from each other,
the third protrusion is located between the plurality of first protrusions and the plurality of second protrusions in a plan view,
the plurality of first protrusions, the plurality of second protrusions, and the third protrusion are overlapped with the sealing material,
a part of the sealing material is located between the third protrusion and the TFT substrate,
the plurality of second protrusions is located closer to an end of the counter substrate than the plurality of first protrusions, and
one of the plurality of color filters is located between one of the plurality of second protrusions and the counter substrate.
2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the color filters include a first portion and a second portion which are separated from the color filters in the display region and located in the peripheral region, and
the first portion and the second portion are separated from each other and located along the extending direction of the sealing material.
3. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the one of the plurality of color filters is either one of the first portion or the second portion.
4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein
the first portion overlaps with the first protrusions in a sectional view, and
the second portion overlaps with the second protrusions in the sectional view.
5. The display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the first portion and the second portion are formed of two colors of the color filters.
6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein
the first portion is a stacked portion that is the two colors of the color filters stacked, and
the second portion is a stacked portion that is the two colors of the color filters stacked.
7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
none of the plurality of color filters are provided between the third protrusion and the counter substrate.
8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein
the third protrusion is extending in the extending direction of the sealing material.
9. A display device comprising:
a TFT substrate including a plurality of pixels each having a thin film transistor which are located in a display region;
a counter substrate having color filters of three colors and a plurality of protrusions; and
a sealing material bonding between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate, wherein
the plurality of protrusions include first protrusions and second protrusions which are in a peripheral region surrounding the display region,
the first protrusions and the second protrusions are overlapped with the sealing material,
the first protrusions are located along an extending direction of the sealing material and separated from each other,
the second protrusions are located along the extending direction of the sealing material and separated from each other, and
the sealing material has a portion between the one of the first protrusions and one of the second protrusions that is thinner than the other portion of the sealing material.
10. The display device according to claim 9 , wherein
the color filters include a first portion and a second portion which are separated from the color filters in the display region and located in the peripheral region, and
the first portion and the second portion are separated from each other and located along the extending direction of the sealing material.
11. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein
the first portion overlaps with the first protrusions in a sectional view, and
the second portion overlaps with the second protrusions in the sectional view.
12. The display device according to claim 10 , wherein
the portion of the sealing material is located between the first portion and the second portion.
