Liquid crystal display and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a liquid crystal display (LCD) device and a method for manufacturing the same, wherein ball spacers are fixedly used to reduce touch and press defects and the content of a solid mixed with balls is increased to partially widen an area of the upper surface of the spacer to thereby prevent damage of the substrate that faces the spacer or of the structure provided on the same. The liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other, a gate line and a data line formed on the first substrate such that the gate line and the data line intersect each other to define a pixel region, a black matrix layer formed on the second substrate in a portion corresponding to the gate line and the data line, a spacer formed on the first substrate or the second substrate in a predetermined portion provided within the black matrix layer, the spacer comprising a plurality of balls and a solid to aggregate the balls together and cover the surfaces of the balls, and a liquid crystal layer filled between the first substrate and the second substrate.
