Patent ID: 8755018

Claim:
A liquid crystal display mother panel including at least one panel, the mother panel comprising: a color filter substrate; an array substrate opposite to the color filter substrate; and a primary sealant element, a secondary sealant element, primary spacers and secondary spacers disposed between the color filter substrate and the array substrate, wherein the primary sealant element is disposed along a periphery of the at least one panel, the primary spacers are disposed in a region surrounded by the primary sealant element, the secondary sealant element is disposed outside the at least one panel, and the secondary spacers are disposed between the primary sealant element and the secondary sealant element, and wherein the secondary spacers have a height different from that of the primary spacers, and the secondary spacers maintain a distance between the color filter substrate and the array substrate the same as a distance the primary spacers maintain between the color filter and the array substrate when the secondary spacers are pressed directly against glass base substrates of the color filter substrate and the array substrate and the primary spacers are against structural layers on the two substrates, so that the color filter substrate has a planar outer surface both beside and outside of the at least one panel, and the at least one panel has a uniform thickness in the peripheral region thereof.
