Patent ID: 8823906

Claim:
Manufacturing method of a liquid crystal display device comprising: a TFT substrate including a display area in which pixels each having a pixel electrode and a TFT are arranged in a matrix form; a counter substrate disposed opposite to the TFT substrate; a sealing material formed in a periphery to bond the TFT substrate and the counter substrate together; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between an orientation film formed in the TFT substrate and an orientation film formed on the counter substrate; the manufacturing method comprising the steps of: forming a first color filter, a second color filter, or a third color filter corresponding to each of the pixels in the display area of the TFT substrate; and forming an orientation film stopper by overlapping a portion of the first color filter, the second color filter, or the third color filter, in an area between the display area and the sealing material; wherein a profile of the orientation film formed in the TFT substrate is defined by the orientation film stopper; and wherein the orientation film stopper formed by overlapping the portion of the first color filter, the second color filter, or the third color filter formed on the TFT substrate has a height less than a height of a gap between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate so that the orientation film stopper does not form a spacer having the height of the gap and a top surface which contacts with the counter substrate.
