Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate having a display region in which a thin film transistor (TFT) is disposed and a driver region in which a gate driver and a data driver are disposed, wherein the gate driver and the data driver include at least one TFT, respectively; a second substrate opposite to the first substrate; a first sealant overlapping a portion of both the gate driver and data driver in the driver region; a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; an alignment film in the display region and extended to the driver region, wherein the alignment film is spaced apart from the first sealant, and a second sealant enclosing a periphery of the driver region and spaced apart by a determined distance from the first sealant, wherein the first sealant only directly covers an exposed portion of a first electrode of the TFT in the driver region and the alignment film only directly covers an exposed portion of a second electrode of the TFT in the driver region.
