Patent ID: 8027010

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device comprising: a first substrate; a black matrix formed in a matrix configuration on the first substrate; a compensation layer capable of compensating the optical phase difference disposed above the black matrix and including a plurality of compensation patterns separated by a predetermined region from each other where the compensation layer has been removed; a color filter layer disposed between patterns of the black matrix; and a column spacer disposed in a region including at least the predetermined region, wherein the color filter layer has a stripe configuration, wherein the color filter layer comprises color filters spaced apart by a predetermined interval from one another in a first direction on the black matrix, wherein the column spacer contacts the black matrix through the predetermined region of the compensation patterns and the predetermined interval of the color filter layer, wherein the color filter layer covers an overall portion of an upper surface of the black matrix in a second direction, wherein the column spacer contacts the color filter layer through the predetermined region of the compensation patterns and wherein the column spacer is formed on the predetermined region and a partial region of the compensation patterns.
