Abstract:
A liquid crystal display comprising:a first substrate and a second substrate spaced from and facing to each other to have a gap therebetween; a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; a thin film transistor formed on the first substrate, the thin film transistor having a semiconductor pattern, a source electrode and a drain electrode, a portion of the semiconductor pattern being exposed between the source electrode and the drain electrode; a pixel electrode directly contacting the drain electrode; a patterned spacer formed on the thin film transistor and supporting the second substrate, wherein the patterned spacer includes an insulating layer being in contact with the exposed portion of the semiconductor pattern, a portion of source and drain electrodes, and a portion of the pixel electrode; a first alignment layer entirely covering the first substrate and the patterned spacer; and a second alignment layer formed on the second substrate, wherein a part of the first alignment layer contacts the second alignment layer at a top surface of the patterned spacer.
