Abstract:
1. A method of forming a display device, comprising: forming a first panel, the step of forming the first panel comprising: forming a second panel, the step of forming the second panel comprising: forming a color filter over the data line, the color filter comprising a first contact hole that exposes the drain electrode and a second contact hole that exposes the storage-capacitor conductor; and disposing the first panel and the second panel over one another such that the pixel electrode faces the common electrode and black matrix with a liquid crystal layer therebetween, a vertical distance between the first panel and the second panel being determined by thicknesses of the spacer and the black matrix, wherein the protrusion and the spacer are formed with substantially the same thickness, with the spacer being thicker than the protrusion, wherein the thickness corresponds to a direction perpendicular to the first panel, wherein the spacer is formed on a higher portion than a position of the protrusion in the direction perpendicular to the first panel, and wherein the protrusion and the spacer are not attached to each other.
