Abstract
A liquid crystal display device (10) includes a first substrate (11), a second substrate (19) opposite to the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer (17) interposed between the first and second substrates, a sealant (18) disposed between and at a peripheral region of the liquid crystal display device between the first and second substrates for sealing a space between the first and second substrates and the sealant, and a photo spacer pattern (15) having a plurality of photo spacers (151, 152, 153). The photo spacers are formed within the space and outside the sealant at peripheral portions of the first and second substrates. The photo spacers are provided to ensure that the liquid crystal display device has a consistent cell gap.
Claims19
