Abstract:
A liquid crystal display at least comprising:a first substrate comprising a pixel region and a driver circuit region separate from said pixel region wherein said pixel region comprises a plurality of first TFTs (thin film transistors) and a plurality of pixel electrodes electrically connected with said first TFTs, and said driver circuit region comprises at least one driver circuit for driving said first TFTs, said driver circuit comprising a plurality of second TFTs; a second substrate opposite to said first substrate; a liquid crystal material held between said first and second substrates; a first gap retaining material for controlling a gap between said first and second substrates; a second gap retaining material for controlling said gap between said first and second substrates; and a sealant for sealing said liquid crystal between said first and second substrates, wherein said pixel region is surrounded by said first gap retaining material and said driver circuit region is surrounded by said second gap retaining material, wherein said pixel region is covered with an insulating film while said driver circuit region is exposed to one of air and an inert gas, and wherein an opening of said first gap retaining material for injecting said liquid crystal material is sealed.
