PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a liquid crystal light valve device with high picture quality which can be manufactured with reduced manufacturing cost by preventing light leakage caused by liquid crystal molecules with disturbed alignment around columnar spacers so as to realize as high contrast and simplified manufacturing steps as possible and to form it with satisfactory reproducibility. SOLUTION: The liquid crystal light valve device is at least provided with a first substrate 3 comprising a first base body 1 on which are formed functional elements 5, 20 and an alignment layer 11, a second substrate 4 placed opposite to the first substrate 3 and comprising a second base body 2 on which are formed a counter electrode 10 and an alignment layer 12, spacers 8 provided on specified positions between the first and the second substrates 3, 4 and a liquid crystal layer 16 filled between the first and the second substrates 3, 4. Then the liquid crystal light valve device, in which light shielding regions 18 toward the incident light 14 are provided on the edge parts of the spacers 8 adjacent to the second substrate 4 and at least part of the outer circumference of a two dimensional shape formed by projecting the cross section of the spacer 8 vertical to the light axis of the incident light at least part of the whole height of the spacer 8 in the direction of the light axis of the incident light 14 on the light shielding region 18 in parallel with the light axis is included within the light shielding region 18, is constructed.
