Abstract
A liquid crystal display device and a method of fabricating the same are disclosed in the present invention. The device includes first and second substrates bonded to each other, each having a liquid crystal display panel region divided into an active area and a dummy area, a sealant in a periphery of the liquid crystal display panel region bonding the first and second substrates to each other, at least one column spacer both in the dummy area and outside the liquid crystal display panel region maintaining a cell gap between the first and second substrates, and a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.

- a sealant in a periphery of the liquid crystal display panel region bonding the first and second substrates to each other;
- at least one column spacer both in the dummy area and outside the liquid crystal display panel region maintaining a cell gap between the first and second substrates;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a first substrate having a liquid crystal display panel region divided into an active area and a dummy area;
- a second substrate bonded to the first substrate;
- a plurality of first column spacers in the liquid crystal display panel region;
- a sealant in a periphery of the liquid crystal display panel region to bond the first and second substrates to each other;
- a plurality of second column spacers outside the liquid crystal display panel region around the sealant;
- and
- a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates.
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- first and second substrates bonded to each other, each having a liquid crystal display panel region divided by an active area and a dummy area;
