a liquid crystal display device according to the present invention has a tft substrate and a sf substrate facing each other , between which is interposed liquid crystal material , just like the conventional liquid crystal display device . the structure of a pixel area of the liquid crystal display device is shown in fig1 . fig1 illustrates the structure of the tft substrate in one pixel . the reference numeral 1 designates a gate line , 2 a source line , 3 a source electrode , 4 a drain electrode , 5 a liquid crystal drive electrode , 6 a common electrode , 7 a common capacitor line , 8 a spacer , and 9 a bm . a manufacturing process of the tft substrate will be explained hereinbelow . first , a conductive film such as al , cr , mo , ti , and w is deposited on an insulating substrate using a sputtering device . then , the gate line 1 and the common capacitor line 7 are formed by a photolithography process , etching process , and resist stripping process . next , a insulation film such as sinx and a semiconductor film of a - si film are deposited by a plasma cvd device on the insulating substrate on which the gate line 1 and the common capacitor line 7 have been formed . the semiconductor layer is doped with impurities such as p and as to form a n + a - si layer as an ohmic layer . then , a semiconductor layer is formed by the photolithography process , etching process , and resist stripping process . further , a conductive film such as al , cr , mo , ti , and w is deposited thereon by the sputtering device . then , a drain electrode 4 , source electrode 3 , and a source line 2 are formed by the photolithography process , etching process , and resist stripping process . after that , sinx film as an interlayer insulation film is deposited , and a contact hole is formed by the photolithography process , resist stripping process , and etching process . then , a transparent conductive film such as an ito film is deposited . by the photolithography process , etching process , and resist stripping process , the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 and the common electrode 6 are formed to be comb - shaped facing each other . the drain electrode 4 contacts the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 , while the common electrode 6 contacts the common capacitor line 7 , through the contact hole . a tft is formed in the above process , and the tft substrate having the tfts in an array arrangement is used for a liquid crystal display device . in the tft substrate of an ips mode , the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 and the common electrode 6 can be formed by a metal film such as cr , al , mo , ti , w , or can have a multilayer structure of metal cr and oxidation cr . it is also possible to form the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 and the common electrode 6 in the same process as the drain electrode 4 . then , the tft substrate is cleared , and an alignment layer is deposited thereon . baking and rubbing treatments are processed after that . the rubbing direction is substantially parallel to the source line 2 . therefore , when the tft is off , liquid crystal molecules are aligned substantially parallel to the source line 2 . now , a manufacturing process of the cf substrate will be explained hereinafter with reference to fig8 . first , a cr film is deposited on an insulating substrate by the sputtering device . then , the bm 9 which is a light shielding layer is formed by the photolithography process and so on . though the cr film is deposited by the sputtering in this case , it can be a bilayer of metal cr and oxidation cr , or another kind of film such as ni and al . also , the film deposition method is not limited to the sputtering method , whereas another deposition method such as a vapor deposition method can be used . further , a resin black matrix in which light shielding material is dispersed in a resin can be applied . then , red pigment is applied onto the substrate . the pigment is then patterned by resist coating , exposure , and development processes to form a red color filter 10 a between the bm 9 . a green color filter 10 b and a blue color filter 10 c are formed in the same manner , thereby forming color filters 10 of the three primary colors . the color filters 10 and the bm 9 overlap to prevent light from leaking . though the present embodiment uses the pigment dispersion method , dyeing , electrical deposition , or printing methods can be also employed . a overcoat layer 13 is then deposited , and the surface is smoothed . an alignment layer 11 is deposited thereon . after that , the baking and rubbing treatments are processed as is the case with the alignment layer of the tft substrate . the rubbing direction is substantially parallel to the source line 2 . therefore , when the tft is off , liquid crystal molecules are aligned substantially parallel to the source line 2 . the overcoat layer 13 is heat and chemical resistant to protect the color filters 10 . though the overcoat layer 13 and the alignment layer 11 are formed separately , they can be formed in the same layer . then , the spacer 8 to make a gap between the tft substrate and the cf substrate where liquid crystal material is filled is formed . the spacer 8 is formed by the photolithography process after a resin layer has been applied . the spacer 8 is tapered column shaped as shown in fig8 , its section being substantially circular . the diameter of the foot of the column ( a contact surface at the side of the cf substrate ) is approximately 15 μm . the larger is the section , the better uniformity of the gap is obtained over the entire substrate . however , since the overlap with the color filters 10 or the projection from the bm 9 causes the less uniformity of the gap between the substrates , the large bm width is required , decreasing the aperture ratio . the tft substrate and the cf substrate which have formed in the above process are laminated with sealing material , and liquid crystal material is filled therebetween . a liquid crystal panel is produced in the above process . the bm 9 is arranged in the area surrounded by the heavy line in fig1 . in the following , the movement of liquid crystal molecules in the area on the tft substrate where the gate line 1 , liquid crystal drive electrode 5 , and common electrode 6 are arranged in the vicinity of each other will be explained with reference to fig2 . fig2 is an enlarged view of the area a shown by a broken line in fig1 . it is noted that , in fig1 and 2 , the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals , and redundant description will be omitted . the reference numeral 12 designates a liquid crystal molecule interposed between the tft substrate and the cf substrate , and the broken line shows an electric field line when a voltage is applied only to the gate line 1 . as shown in fig2 , the rubbing treatment is given to the alignment layer 11 . the rubbing direction is substantially perpendicular to the gate line 1 . since no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 when the tft is off , the potential difference between the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 and the common electrode 6 approaches 0 . therefore , the liquid crystal molecules 12 are aligned in the same direction as the rubbing direction , blocking light from a backlight . it results in an ips mode liquid crystal display device in a normally black mode . when the liquid crystal is driven , on the other hand , a gate voltage changes to produce a potential difference near the gate line 1 , and therefore the electric field line is in the same direction as the rubbing direction , as shown in the broken line . in the area outside of the light leakage area c near the gate line 1 , the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 and the gate line 1 are substantially parallel , and so are the common electrode 6 and the gate line 1 . the electric field line between them are therefore substantially perpendicular to the gate line 1 . the liquid crystal molecules 12 are thus aligned in the same direction as the rubbing direction , blocking light from a backlight . however , in the light leakage area c surrounded by the broken line in fig2 , the direction of the electric field line is different from the rubbing direction as shown in fig2 . therefore , the liquid crystal molecules 12 are inclined to cause light to leak . to maintain contrast , the light leakage area c requires the bm 9 blocking light . light leakage occurs in the area c when displaying black , causing an alignment error . a light blocking means is thus required in the alignment error area . the spacer 8 is arranged in the above position according to the present embodiment of the invention . the line width e of the bm 9 on the gate line 1 outside of the area c is the sum of a plus b in fig1 which is approximately 30 μm . therefore , with the width accuracy and the position accuracy with respect to the bm 9 of the spacer 8 , the width accuracy of the bm 9 , and the width accuracy and the position accuracy with respect to bm 9 of the color filters 10 when forming the cf substrate , the spacer 8 sticks out the bm 9 and overlaps with the color filters 10 , causing the less uniformity of the cell gap . in the area where the gate line 1 , the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 , and the common electrode 6 are arranged in the vicinity of each other , the bm 9 is wider to block the light leakage area c . therefore , placing the spacer 8 in this area prevents the spacer 8 from sticking out the bm 9 or overlapping with the color filters 10 . it also narrows the widths of the lines and the bm in the area other than the alignment error area , reducing the bm area . a high aperture ratio is thereby attained to achieve higher brightness . in addition , power consumption and costs can be reduced for the backlight . as explained in the foregoing , the first embodiment of the present invention provides the spacer in the area in which the gate line 1 , liquid crystal drive electrode 5 , and common electrode 6 are arranged in the vicinity of each other , or the alignment error area , where the wider bm width is required to avoid light leakage , thereby achieving a higher aperture ratio . a liquid crystal display device according to the present invention will be explained hereinbelow with reference to fig3 and 4 . it is noted that in fig1 to 4 the same elements will be denoted by the same reference numerals and redundant description will be omitted . fig3 illustrates the structure of a pixel area of a liquid crystal display device according to the second embodiment of the present invention . fig4 is an enlarged view of the area b shown by a broken line in fig3 . a manufacturing method of a tft substrate and a cf substrate in the second embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment . the rubbing direction is also the same in the first and second embodiments . in the second embodiment , the position of the spacer 8 is different from that in the first embodiment , as shown in fig3 . the spacer 8 is placed in the area where the source line 2 , the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 , and the common electrode 6 are arranged in the vicinity of each other . the movement of liquid crystal molecules in the above area will be explained hereinafter with reference to fig4 . as described above , the rubbing treatment is given to the alignment layer 11 in the direction substantially perpendicular to the gate line 1 which is substantially parallel to the source line 2 . when liquid crystal is driven , a source voltage changes . accordingly , when a voltage is applied only to the source line 2 , an electric field line near the source line 2 is as shown in fig4 . therefore , the liquid crystal molecules 12 are inclined just like the first embodiment , to cause light leakage . the electric field line is substantially perpendicular to the rubbing direction between the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 and the source line 2 . the liquid crystal molecules 12 are thus aligned perpendicular to the rubbing direction as shown in fig4 , which causes light to leak . light leakage occurs in the area when displaying black to result in an alignment error . a light blocking means is thus required in the alignment error area . for the above reasons , light leakage occurs in the light leakage area d shown by the broken line in fig4 . therefore , the area needs the bm 9 blocking light to maintain contrast , and the wider width of the bm is required in the light leakage area d . therefore , placing the spacer 8 in this area prevents the spacer 8 from sticking out the bm 9 or overlapping with the color filters 10 . it also narrows the widths of the lines and the bm in the area other than the alignment error area , reducing the bm area . a high aperture ratio is thereby attained to achieve higher brightness . in addition , power consumption and costs can be reduced for the backlight . the bm area should be larger near the area b . as explained in the foregoing , the second embodiment of the present invention provides the spacer 8 in the alignment error area of the pixel area in which the source line 2 , liquid crystal drive electrode 5 , and common electrode 6 are arranged in the vicinity of each other , thereby achieving a higher aperture ratio . the same effect as above can be obtained when placing the spacer 8 in the alignment error area requiring the larger width of the bm 9 not described in the first and second embodiments . for example , the spacer can be placed near the crossing point of the gate line 1 and the source line 2 . the gate line 1 , source line 2 , common electrode 6 , and liquid crystal drive electrode 5 are arranged in the vicinity of each other in the area . an electric field produced by the potential difference between them causes misalignment of liquid crystal molecules , resulting in light leakage . therefore , the area becomes an alignment error area where a light blocking means is required , and the bm 9 should have a larger width there . placing the spacer 8 in this area allows reduction of the bm area , achieving a high aperture ratio . the bm area should be larger near the tft in this case as shown in fig5 . the liquid crystal panel having the above configuration is not limited to be applied to a liquid crystal display device of an ips mode , but applicable to a liquid crystal display device of a tn mode and so on . it is possible to narrow the bm width and achieve a higher aperture ratio . it is also possible to place the spacer 8 near the crossing point of the source line 2 and the common capacitor line 6 . since the source line 2 and the common capacitor line 6 cross each other in the area , an electric field line produced by the potential difference between the lines causes misalignment of liquid crystal molecules , resulting in light leakage . therefore , the bm width outside of the area can be narrowed . the bm area is thus reduced , achieving a higher aperture ratio . the liquid crystal panel having the above configuration is not limited to be applied to a liquid crystal display device of an ips mode , but applicable to a liquid crystal display device of a tn mode and so on . reduction of the bm area is thereby possible to achieve a higher aperture ratio . the above first to fourth embodiments places the spacer 8 in an alignment error area where light leakage occurs and the larger width of the bm is required . the width of the bm in the area other than the alignment error area can be narrowed to reduce the bm area . a liquid crystal display device thereby has higher brightness , attaining a less costly backlight with lower power consumption . it is further possible to place the spacer 8 on the common capacitor line 7 as shown in fig7 . the spacer 8 is not on the bm 9 but on the color filters 10 on the cf substrate . since the common capacitor line 7 is formed by a metal film as described in the first embodiment , light from the backlight is blocked . the bm 9 is thus not required , and the spacer 8 can be placed without decreasing a display quality . therefore , it is possible to arrange the spacer 8 on the bm 9 and reduce the bm area . the liquid crystal drive electrode 5 and the common electrode 6 are preferably formed by a nontransparent conductive film such as a metal film . the present embodiment allows the smaller area of the bm 9 over and near the gate line 1 . the liquid crystal panel having the above configuration is not limited to be applied to a liquid crystal display device of an ips mode , but applicable to a liquid crystal display device of a tn mode and so on . a higher aperture ratio is thereby attained to increase brightness of a liquid crystal display device . the spacer 8 is not limited to have a column shape , but can have a shape such as a dome , ball , and cylinder . further , when placing the spacer 8 in the alignment error area , the diameter of the spacer 8 can be 15 μm and above in accordance with the size of the alignment error area . it ensures better uniformity of the gap between the substrates to reduce uneven brightness and color of a display . the section of the spacer 8 is not necessarily circular , and a polygonal shape such as triangle and quadrangle is also possible . the spacer 8 can be formed on the tft substrate . the layers and fabrication method for forming a tft array substrate according to the present invention is not limited to those described in the first embodiment , but other kinds of layers or fabrication methods produce the same effect as long as the position of the spacer is the same . for example , the conductive film is not necessarily formed by al , cr , mo , ti , or w , but a metal such as ni , ag , ta , and cu or an alloy comprising mainly of those can be used . the insulation film is not limited to sinx , but sio 2 is also possible . the semiconductor layer 1 is not restricted to a - si film ( amorphous silicon ), but p - si film ( poly - silicon ) is also possible . also , a n + a - si film has been formed as the ohmic layer by doping p and as , it is feasible to form a p + a - si film by doping b . in addition , the film deposition method is not restricted to the sputtering method or the plasma cvd method , whereas a vapor deposition method , low pressure cvd method , and normal pressure cvd method can be also used . the above variation in the layers and methods produce the same effects . as explained in the foregoing , the present invention narrows the width of the black matrix to provide a liquid crystal display device with a high aperture ratio . from the invention thus described , it will be obvious that the embodiments of the invention may be varied in many ways . such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention , and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended for inclusion within the scope of the following claims .
