Provided is a liquid crystal display device including a first spacer and a second spacer, which reduces the amount of residual displacement between a TFT substrate and a counter substrate after an external force applied to the liquid crystal display device has been removed, The first spacer, as seen in plan view, has an octagonal shape of a special form with a long axis in a direction of its gate lines, is planar in section at a central section thereof, and includes an inclined section on both sides. The second spacer has an octagonal shape of a special form with a long axis in a perpendicular direction relative to the gate lines, is planar in section at a central section thereof, and includes an inclined section on both sides. A gap between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate is defined by the first spacer and the second spacer.
