Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; a gate line and a data line disposed on the first substrate such that the gate line and the data line intersect each other to define a pixel region; a thin film transistor disposed at an intersection between the gate line and the data line on the first substrate; a black matrix layer disposed on the second substrate in a portion corresponding to the gate line and the data line; a color filter array disposed on the second substrate including the black matrix layer; a spacer disposed on the color filter array in a predetermined portion provided within the black matrix layer, wherein the spacer comprises a plurality of balls and a solid to aggregate the balls together and adhere the balls to the color filter array; a pixel electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor formed in the pixel region; a hard coating pattern disposed on the gate line facing the spacer, being separate from the pixel electrode, wherein the hard coating pattern and the pixel electrode are at the same layer; and a liquid crystal layer filled between the first substrate and the second substrate.
