Patent ID: 7256859

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal display comprising: providing a first substrate; providing a second substrate; forming a column spacer and a dummy column spacer on one of the first and second substrates, the column spacer being formed in a pixel region and the dummy column spacer being formed in a dummy region; forming a supplementary dummy column spacer adjacent entirely to the dummy column spacer; dispensing a liquid crystal on either the first or second substrate in a region having the column spacer and substantially enclosed by the dummy column spacer, wherein the dummy column spacer is substantially linear at the side region and has at least one opening at at least one corner region; forming a seal pattern with a sealant on either the first or second substrate outside the dummy column spacer; bonding the first and second substrates; wherein the liquid crystal flows through openings in the dummy column spacer and is uniformly filled between the first and second substrates.
