LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a thin-film transistor (TFT) substrate in which a pixel electrode, a TFT and the like are formed in a matrix;
an opposite substrate in which a color filter and the like are formed at a position corresponding to a position of the pixel electrode and that is arranged with a predetermined gap with the TFT substrate; and
a liquid crystal retained in the gap;
whereinthe TFT substrate retains a contact hole that is formed in a passivation film, and is for connecting the TFT and the pixel electrode; and
the opposite substrate retains a columnar spacer for ensuring a cell gap, and a columnar projection for misalignment prevention formed at a position corresponding to a position of the contact hole.

Abstract
In a liquid crystal display device, a TFT substrate retains a contact hole that is formed in a passivation film, and is for connecting the TFT and the pixel electrode. And an opposite substrate retains a columnar spacer for ensuring a cell gap, and a columnar projection for misalignment prevention formed at a position corresponding to a position of the contact hole. Accordingly, misalignment between the TFT substrate and the opposite substrate is suppressed, occurrence of uneven brightness due to misalignment between pixel regions and a bright spot caused by shaving of an orientation film is prevented, and a favorable image is obtained.
