Abstract: This invention has its objects to provide a liquid crystal display exhibiting excellent display quality having good contrast which quality is not influenced by light leakage resulting from spacers due to the fact that most of the spacers are arranged under a black matrix. This invention is related to a liquid crystal display having a liquid crystal injected into a gap between two substrates arranged to oppose each other through spacers, wherein at least one of said two substrates is a substrate on which a black matrix is formed; at least one of the two substrates is a substrate constituted by aligning a plurality of transparent electrodes; not less than 50% of the spacers are arranged just under a position of the black matrix; and the spacers arranged just under the position of the black matrix are arranged along the transparent electrodes.
