Abstract
An LCD device and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed, which prevents a liquid crystal from being filled imperfectly or excessively in an active region, thereby obtaining a uniform cell gap and improving picture quality characteristics. The LCD device includes a lower substrate and an upper substrate, a UV sealant between the lower and upper substrates, the UV sealant having a portion for controlling a liquid crystal flow at four corner regions, and a liquid crystal layer between the lower and upper substrates.
Claims8
A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- an upper substrate and a lower substrate attached to one another by a UV sealant, the sealant and the upper and lower substrates forming an enclosed volume;
- and
- liquid crystal in the enclosed volume between the upper and lower substrates;
- wherein a portion of the UV sealant forms four reservoirs outside four corners of an active area of the liquid crystal display device, and the four reservoirs are diagonally facing each other,
- wherein the UV sealant is formed into a closed pattern, the closed pattern including:
- a pair of first linear edges and a pair of second linear edges, wherein the pair of second linear edges are non-parallel to the pair of first linear edges and the four reservoirs are within the closed pattern,
- wherein each reservoir is between the first and second linear edges, wherein one end of the each reservoir is connected to the first linear edge and the other end of the each reservoir is connected to the second linear edge.
