Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display device comprising:

• a first substrate configured to include an active area including a plurality of thin film transistors, a plurality of pixel electrodes, a plurality of gate lines, and a plurality of data lines for displaying an image, and a dummy area loaded with a driving circuit which is connected to the plurality of gate lines;
• a second substrate, opposite to the first substrate, that includes a common electrode together with the plurality of pixel electrodes used for forming electric fields, and color filters and a black matrix formed opposite to the active area;
• column spacers secured to the first substrate within the active and dummy areas and configured to maintain a constant cell gap between the first and second substrates;
• and
• a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates,
• wherein the second substrate further includes color filter patterns on its portions opposite to only the column spacers within the dummy area,
• wherein the color filter patterns are not formed on other portion opposite to circuit elements of the driving circuit,
• wherein a width of the color filter pattern is formed to have a larger width range of about 5% than a width of the column spacer, and
• wherein a first distance between the thin film transistor array substrate and color filter array substrate within the first region, on which the column spacer is positioned is longer than a second distance between the thin film transistor array substrate and the color filter array substrate in a second region, on which the column spacer is not positioned and the gate driving circuit is formed.
