Abstract
A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer, and a columnar spacer. The first substrate includes a pixel electrode, a TFT, and an interlayer insulating layer. The second substrate includes first, second and third color filters arranged in a delta arrangement. Each pixel has a substantially polygonal shape with n vertices (where n is an integer and n≧8) or a substantially circular shape. The TFT and the columnar spacer are arranged in a first tricolor boundary region. A contact hole cut through the interlayer insulating layer is arranged in a second tricolor boundary region. Two of three pixels that define the first tricolor boundary region also define the second tricolor boundary region, but the remaining pixel is arranged at a different location.
