PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To form a spherical spacer at a specified position, to suppress production of foams at a low temperature and to obtain a liquid crystal display device equipped with the spacer having resistance to local load, by controlling the hardness (DH) of the spacer consisting of a photosensitive resin for regulating the cell gap between substrates to a specified range. SOLUTION: The device comprises an array substrate 12 and a color filter substrate 14 disposed facing each other, a spacer 18 consisting of a photosensitive resin to regulate the cell gap 16 between the substrates, and a liquid crystal 20. As for the spacer 18, a photosensitive resin satisfying the conditions that the hardness (DH) obtained by the formula of DH=K×Pmax/hmax2 ranges 26 to 30 is used. In the formula, DH is the hardness (kgf/mm2), Pmax is the maximum load (kgf), hmax is the maximum displacement (mm) as the sum of the elastic deformation and plastic deformation, and K is a constant intrinsic to the device obtd. from the displacement of the indenter.
