A liquid crystal display device includes a TFT substrate having a plurality of pixel electrodes formed thereon, a color filter substrate having a metal light-shielding film formed thereon, a liquid crystal held between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate, and a large number of spacers disposed in a gap between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate, in which a voltage is applied between the pixel electrodes to generate an electric field substantially parallel to the TFT substrate surface, causing the liquid crystal to respond in an in-plane direction based on the electric field. The liquid crystal display device further includes a convex portion by increasing the thickness over at least part of the metal light-shielding film by using a photoresist used in patterning the metal light-shielding film, and the dimension of the gap between the TFT substrate and the color filter substrate is defined by the spacers interposed between the convex portion and the TFT substrate among the large number of spacers.
