Liquid crystal display device and method of manufacturing the same without scattering spacers

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first substrate having a plurality of first electrodes formed on one surface side and a first vertical alignment film for covering the plurality of first electrodes;
• a second substrate having a light shielding film formed on a surface side opposed to said one surface side of the first substrate to be arranged in regions corresponding to regions between the plurality of first electrodes on the first substrate, a plurality of color filters arranged to oppose respective first electrodes on the first substrate, a second electrode formed over the light shielding films and the plurality of color filters, a first projection pattern of insulating material formed in a zigzag fashion on the second electrode, and a second vertical alignment film for covering the second electrode and at least the first projection pattern on the second electrode, wherein the light shielding films consist of color filters overlapped, and a part of the first projection pattern extends over the light shielding films to come into contact with the first vertical alignment film;
• and
• a liquid crystal sealed between the first substrate and the second substrate and having a negative dielectric anisotropy.

A color filter substrate comprising:

• a plurality of color filters;
• light shielding films of overlapped color filters;
• an electrode formed over the light shielding films and the plurality of color filters;
• a projection pattern of insulating material formed on the electrode in a zigzag fashion;
• and
• a vertical alignment film covering the electrodes and at least the projection pattern on the electrode,
• wherein the projection pattern has a first portion and a second portion which is higher than the first portion by forming over each of the light shielding films of overlapped color filters.
