Abstract

A liquid crystal display apparatus is provided with an array substrate including a first substrate, a switching element formed on the first substrate, an interlayer insulating film formed so as to cover the switching element, a pixel electrode formed on the interlayer insulating film and connected to the switching element via a contact hole formed in the interlayer insulating film, an alignment film formed so as to cover the pixel electrode, and a spacer formed under the alignment film. A flattening layer made with the same material as that of the spacer is arranged between the pixel electrode and the alignment film within a region corresponding to the contact hole.
