Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• a first substrate including a first pixel electrode and a first pillar-shaped spacer arranged in an active area, and a second pixel electrode and a second pillar-shaped spacer arranged in a shield area surrounding the active area;
• a second substrate including;
• a shield layer formed in the shape of a belt crossing above the first pillar-shaped spacer in the active area and extending to the shield area including a portion above the second pillar-shaped spacer,
• a first color filter layer formed of a green color filter crossing with the shield layer above the first pillar-shaped spacer,
• a second color filter layer formed of the green color filter in the shape of a belt formed on the shield layer above the second pillar-shaped spacer,
• a third color filter layer formed of a red color filter layer thinner than the first color filter layer,
• a fourth color filter layer formed of a blue color filter layer thicker than the first color filter layer,
• an overcoat layer extending in the active area including a portion above the first pillar-shaped spacer and in the shield layer including a portion above the second pillar-shaped spacer, and
• a counter electrode formed on the overcoat layer and facing the first and second pixel electrodes,
• a liquid crystal layer held between the first and second substrates and driven by an OCB mode;
• wherein the height of a first seat layer formed above the first pillar-shaped spacer and including the shield layer, the first color filter layer and the overcoat layer is substantially the same as that of a second seat layer formed above the second pillar-shaped spacer and including the shield layer, the second color filter layer and the overcoat layer.
