A number of photospacers (36) is disposed on one of the first and second substrates, and the photospacer is disposed over a corresponding one of the data lines and at least partly overlies the corresponding data line. The photospacers have a dielectric constant lower than 3.9. Thus, the liquid crystal display device has a lower coupling capacitance between the data lines and other elements.
