Liquid crystal display and manufacturing method thereof

A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display, comprising:

• forming a first display panel and a second display panel facing the first display panel,
• wherein forming the first display panel comprises disposing a signal line on a pixel region of the first display panel, connecting a driver connecting line to the signal line, and connecting a driving circuit part to the driver connecting line;
• forming a first polarizer on a first surface of the first display panel and a second polarizer on a second surface of the second display panel;
• adhering the first display panel and a backlight unit to each other using an adhesive part;
• forming a reinforcing part to overlap with the driver connecting line, the reinforcing part being adjacent to at least one side of the second display panel,
• wherein the reinforcing part is formed after the second polarizer is formed;
• and
• forming a film layer on the second polarizer and the reinforcing part,
• wherein the reinforcing part includes a first layer, a second layer and an adhesive layer disposed between the first and second layers,
• at least one of the first and second layers comprises an elastic material,
• the backlight unit comprises a backlight assembly and a mold frame supporting the backlight assembly,
• the mold frame and the first display panel are attached to each other by the adhesive part, and
• the reinforcing part overlaps the adhesive part.
