A provided is a liquid crystal display device with a high definition screen and less color mixture. On an array substrate, a pixel is formed between the adjacent video signal lines, a color filter is formed within the pixel, a flattening film is formed on the color filter, a lower layer is formed on the flattening film, and an upper layer having a slit is formed on the lower layer with an interlayer insulating film interposed therebetween; and on the array substrate, an opposite substrate is arranged with a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween. When a distance from the top of the video signal line working as a light shielding film to the bottom of the liquid crystal layer is defined as d and a space between the centers of the video signal lines separating the pixel is defined as w, a relation of d≦0.3 w is satisfied.
