Patent ID: 7492435

Claim:
A liquid crystal display, comprising: a first substrate divided into a display region and a light blocking region; a second substrate arranged opposite said first substrate; a color filter formed on the first substrate substantially in the display region; a common electrode disposed on the color filter; a black matrix formed on the first substrate substantially in the light blocking region; a pixel electrode formed on an organic layer; and a granular light-blocking spacer comprising an elastic material to absorb impacts of the liquid crystal display apparatus; wherein a portion of the black matrix is disposed between the granular light-blocking spacer and the first substrate, the granular light-blocking spacer being attached to the first substrate using the portion of the black matrix being attached to the granular light-blocking spacer; and wherein the granular light-blocking spacer is disposed between portions of the pixel electrode and the common electrode, spaced apart from the portions of the common electrode, and in direct contact with the organic layer.
