Abstract
A liquid crystal display device, includes a substrate having an active region and a periphery region, an insulating film formed on the substrate, a passivation film formed on the insulating film and having a plurality of first and second contact holes formed along a circumference of the active region, a first seal pattern formed on the passivation film along a direction of the first contacts holes, and a second seal pattern formed on the passivation film along a direction of the second contact holes.

A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a substrate having an active region and a periphery region;
- an insulating film formed on the substrate;
- a passivation film formed on the insulating film and having a plurality of first and second contact holes formed along a circumference of the active region;
- a first seal pattern formed on the passivation film along a direction of the first contact holes;
- and
- a second seal pattern formed on the passivation film along a direction of the second contact holes.
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a first substrate having an active region, a gate insulating film, and a plurality of-thin film transistors;
- a second substrate having a color filter layer;
- a passivation film formed on the gate insulating film and having a plurality of first and second contact holes formed along a circumference of the active region, the first contact holes located closer to the active region than the second contact holes;
- an active seal pattern formed on the gate insulating film within the first contact holes and on a predetermined portion of the passivation film;
- a dummy seal pattern formed on the gate insulating film within the second contact holes and on a predetermined portion of the passivation film;
- and
- a liquid crystal material layer formed between the first and second substrates.
A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising steps of:
- forming a gate insulating film and a plurality of thin film transistors within an active region of a first substrate;
- forming a passivation film on the gate insulating film and the thin film transistors;
- forming a plurality of first and second contact holes along a circumference of the active region by removing portions of the passivation film;
- forming an active seal pattern along a direction of the plurality of first contact holes and a dummy seal pattern along a direction of the plurality of second contact holes;
- and
- bonding a second substrate onto the first substrate.
