Patent ID: 7969545

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device, comprising: forming a black matrix layer on a first substrate; forming a groove on the first substrate; forming a color filter layer having a red resin, a green resin, and a blue resin on the first substrate; forming an overcoat layer on the first substrate; forming a common electrode on the overcoat layer; dispersing an ink droplet mixed with a plurality of spacers on the groove using an inkjet method; forming a thin film transistor, a gate line and a data line on a second substrate; and forming a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates, wherein the groove is formed at a position corresponding to a TFT region which is located where the gate line and the date line intersect, wherein the common electrode and the plurality of spacers are formed on the black matrix layer, wherein the common electrode and the overcoat layer are formed on the color filter layer, and the common electrode covers side and the upper surface of the color filter layer, wherein the common electrode is contacted to the overcoat layer corresponded to the upper surface of the color filter layer and the black matrix layer in the groove, wherein the groove is formed by patterning the overcoat layer, wherein dispersing the ink droplet mixed with the plurality of spacers on the groove using an inkjet method includes, moving the ink droplet into the groove along a stepped portion of the groove; gathering the plurality of spacers contained in the ink droplet into the groove, and drying the plurality of spacers in the groove.
