Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a TFT substrate and a counter substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate;
• a first metal line on the TFT substrate;
• a second metal line intersecting with the first metal line;
• a thin film transistor connected to the first metal line and the second metal line,
• an organic passivation film formed over the first metal line, the second metal line and the thin film transistor;
• a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor on the organic passivation film;
• a counter electrode formed opposite to the pixel electrode with an interlayer insulation film;
• a third metal line formed on the counter electrode along the first metal line;
• and
• a columnar spacer formed on the counter substrate;
• wherein
• the pixel electrode and the counter electrode are transparent,
• the counter electrode is electrically connected to the third metal line,
• a width of the third metal line at an intersection of the first metal line and the second metal line is wider than a width of the third metal line between the intersection and an adjacent intersection, and
• the columnar spacer is overlapped with the wider portion of the third metal line at the intersection of the first metal line and the second metal line.
