Method of fabricating liquid crystal display device

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• providing a first substrate;
• forming an alignment layer on the first substrate using an ink jet method to form a plurality of holes that expose portions of the first substrate;
• and
• forming a spacer within each of the plurality of holes using the ink jet method;
• forming gate lines and data lines arranged along transverse and longitudinal directions on a transparent substrate to define a plurality of pixel areas;
• forming a thin film transistor at crossing points of the gate and data lines;
• forming a passivation layer along an entire surface of the transparent substrate including the thin film transistor;
• and
• forming a pixel electrode within each of the pixel areas.

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• providing a lower substrate upon which a thin film transistor is formed and an upper substrate upon which a color filter is formed:
• forming an alignment layer on one of the lower substrate and the upper substrate using an ink jet method;
• and
• forming a plurality of spacers on one of the lower substrate and the upper substrate.

A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

• providing a first substrate and a second substrate;
• dispensing a first alignment material on first surface portions of the first substrate to expose second surface portions of the first substrate;
• and
• dispensing the first alignment material on second surface portions of the second substrate to expose second surface portions of the second substrate.
