Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines on the first substrate crossing each other to define pixel regions; a black matrix layer on the second substrate in regions corresponding to the gate lines and the data lines; color filter layers on the second substrate covering at least the pixel regions, formed in a column direction, wherein each of the color filter layers includes: first and second patterns corresponding to first and second adjacent pixel regions in the column direction, each of the first and second patterns having a first width; and third patterns in regions corresponding to the gate lines, the third pattern integrally connected to the first and second patterns, each of the third patterns having a second width smaller than the first width, wherein the color filter layers have different thicknesses; a plurality of column spacers on respective portions of the black matrix layer excluding the color filter layers, wherein each of the column spacers is confined where the third pattern is not formed between the first and second patterns; and a liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate.
