1. A display device comprising:
a first substrate;
a second substrate facing the first substrate with an interval therebetween;
a plurality of color filters provided on the first substrate, the plurality of color filters exhibiting different colors;
a light blocking portion provided on the first substrate, the light blocking portion partitioning the plurality of color filters, overlapping at least with a portion of each of the plurality of color filters, and blocking light; and
a spacer provided at least on the first substrate, the spacer protruding from the first substrate toward the second substrate, wherein
a main surface of each of the first substrate and the second substrate is divided into a display region and a non-display region, the display region being with the plurality of color filters and the light blocking portion disposed and an image being displayed in the display region, the non-display region surrounding the display region and no image being displayed in the non-display region,
the display region is a non-linear portion with at least a part of an outer shape being non-linear,
the plurality of color filters include a plurality of first color filters not intersecting the non-linear portion and a plurality of second color filters, at least part of the plurality of second color filters intersecting the non-linear portion,
the display region includes a first region with the plurality of first color filters disposed, and a second region with the plurality of second color filters disposed,
the light blocking portion includes a first light blocking portion partitioning the plurality of first color filters, and a second light blocking portion partitioning the plurality of second color filters,
an overlapping area of the second light blocking portion with respect to the plurality of second color filters is larger than an overlapping area of the first light blocking portion with respect to the plurality of first color filters, and
a distribution density of the spacer in the second region is lower than a distribution density of the spacer in the first region.
