The present invention relates to a display device such as a liquid crystal display device including a first substrate and a second substrate with liquid crystal injected between the first and second substrates. In the display device, the second substrate includes a plurality of columnar spacers, and the first substrate has a protrusion in an area facing the top of the columnar spacer. The plurality of columnar spacers formed on the second substrate are not arranged at even intervals in the longitudinal direction of the scan line, and/or are not aligned on the line but are arranged at random.
