A liquid crystal display device can properly maintain a distance between a TFT substrate and a counter substrate even when an organic film which constitutes color filters or the like is formed on a TFT substrate and pedestals are formed on the organic film. In a liquid crystal display device which includes a TFT substrate, a counter substrate and liquid crystal sandwiched between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate, support columns SOC which project toward a TFT substrate are formed on the counter substrate, thin film transistors, an insulation film PAS1 which covers the thin film transistors, organic films (color filter CF(G), CF(R)) which are arranged on the insulation film, and a transparent electrode CITO which constitutes a common electrode and is arranged on portions of organic films are formed on the TFT substrate, at least portions of the transparent electrode include a metal film which constitutes a common electrode auxiliary line CRM respectively, and portions of the metal film which are arranged on the transparent electrode form pedestals PED corresponding to the support columns SOC.
