Patent ID: 7738067

Claim:
A method of fabricating a liquid crystal display device comprising: providing a first substrate and a second substrate; forming a masking pattern on the surface of the first substrate, the masking pattern defining an open area as a spacer area in the masking pattern; forming a color filter pattern on the surface of the first substrate, wherein the color filter pattern exposes the spacer area and a portion of the masking pattern around the spacer area; forming a common electrode on the masking pattern, the color filter pattern and the spacer area; coating a photoresistance on an interior surface of the first substrate; illuminating a light on an exterior surface of the first substrate and through the spacer area of masking pattern and common electrode to irradiate the photoresistance; and developing the photoresistance to form a spacer directly over the spacer area, wherein the spacer is formed directly on the common electrode.
