Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

• a first substrate comprising a display area and a peripheral area;
• a plurality of gate lines disposed on the first substrate;
• a plurality of data lines crossing the plurality of gate lines;
• a plurality of thin film transistors wherein each thin film transistor is connected to at least one of the plurality of gate lines and to at least one of the plurality of data lines;
• a barrier rib disposed on the plurality of data lines and the plurality of thin film transistors at the display area, the barrier rib comprising a colored organic film having an optical density in a range of 1 to 3;
• a color filter disposed in a region surrounding the barrier rib;
• a plurality of pixel electrodes disposed on the color filter, at least one of the plurality of pixel electrodes being connected to at least one of the plurality of thin film transistors;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• a common electrode disposed on the second substrate;
• a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
• at least one spacer disposed in the display area, the at least one spacer separating the first substrate and the second substrate by a distance;
• a light blocking member disposed on the first substrate at the peripheral area;
• and
• a subsidiary light blocking member disposed on the light blocking member, the subsidiary light blocking member comprising at least one subsidiary spacer.
