A liquid crystal display device includes a black matrix between first and second substrates, the black matrix having openings defined therein, color filters between the first and second substrates and aligned with the openings defined in the black matrix, the color filters including first filters having a first color, second filters having a second color, and third filters having a third color; and spacers configured to maintain a predetermined cell gap. The second filters have a recess, such that the second filters have an area that is less than an area of the first filters, the spacers are aligned with regions of the black matrix adjacent to the recesses in the second filters, and alignment layers are on the first and second substrates.
