Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising: a lower substrate and an upper substrate disposed apart from each other with a space therebetween; and first and second seal patterns formed on respective opposite and peripheral sides of the lower substrate and including spacers and sealant for sealing the space between the lower and upper substrates; wherein each of the first seal patterns comprises a plurality of spacers and each of the second seal patterns comprises a plurality of conductive spacers; wherein the upper substrate comprises a transparent electrode pattern and an alignment layer formed on a lower part of the transparent electrode pattern; wherein the upper substrate further comprises a substrate and a color filter layer formed on a pixel part region of the substrate, wherein the transparent electrode pattern is formed on a lower part of the color filter layer, and wherein the color filter layer comprises color filter cells and black matrices, each black matrix being positioned between a respective pair of adjacent color filter cells; wherein each of the first and second seal patterns extends between a lower part of a respective one of the black matrices and the lower substrate, and each of the first and second seal patterns directly contacts a respective one of the black matrices, and each of the second seal patterns is closer to a center of the liquid crystal display than each of the first seal patterns; and wherein said liquid crystal display further comprises third seal patterns disposed between the second seal patterns, said third seal patterns comprising a plurality of spacers extending between the transparent electrode pattern of the upper substrate and the lower substrate.
