Patent ID: 7932986

Claim:
A liquid crystal display comprising: a first substrate; a first signal line formed on the first substrate, the first signal line including a first portion and a second portion, wherein the cross-section of the second portion is thinner than the cross-section of the first portion; a second signal line insulated from the first signal line, the second signal line crossing the first signal line; a thin film transistor connected to the second signal line; a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor; an insulating layer formed on the first signal line, the second signal line, and the thin film transistor, the insulating layer including a first portion and a second portion; a first spacer formed on the first portion of the insulating layer; and a second spacer formed on the second portion of the insulating layer, wherein the second portion of the insulating layer overlaps the second portion of the first signal line, and the first portion and the second portion of the insulating layer have different surface heights.
