Patent ID: 8514360

Claim:
An LCD device comprising: a first and a second substrates facing each other; a plurality of gate and data lines formed on the second substrate to cross each other, thereby defining pixel regions; a plurality of thin film transistors (TFT), one formed in each region, respectively; a common and a pixel electrodes alternately arranged in each region; a black matrix layer formed on the first substrate to cover the gate lines, the data lines, and the thin film transistors; a plurality of color filter layers on the first substrate of a plurality of color films having a stripe shape and spaced apart from one another at a predetermined interval, wherein the color filter layers partially overlap the black matrix layer; a filling pattern formed between adjacent color films, wherein the filling pattern has a same thickness as the adjacent color films and planarized to a surface of the adjacent color films on the black matrix layer; a column spacer formed on the black matrix layer and a predetermined portion of the color filter layers, wherein the column spacer and the filling pattern are formed with a same material; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first and second substrates.
