Abstract: Due to spacer particles 31, a gap of a predetermined size is provided between a pair of transparent substrates 10, 20 which are arranged parallel and opposite to each other. The spacer particles 31 are arranged on a set surface 19, which is formed on the surface of the TFT substrate 10 that faces the CF substrate 20 and specifically is formed in a grid-like light blocking area 30 thereof. The set surface 19 extends over the substantially entire width of the light blocking area 30, so as to form a flat surface that is substantially at the same level over its entire area. Thereby, the spacer particles 31 are infallibly arranged in the set area 30, and consequently the cell gap of the predetermined size can be reliably secured.
