Liquid crystal display device
First Claim
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising:
- a first substrate having a plurality of pixels;
a second substrate facing the first substrate;
a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates;
a main spacer disposed between the first and second substrates and making contact with the first and second substrates, and the main spacer having a first top surface and a first bottom surface having an area larger than that of the first top surface; and
a supplementary spacer disposed between the first and second substrates to make contact with one of the first and second substrates and be spaced apart from the other, and the supplementary spacer having a second top surface and a second bottom surface having an area larger than that of the second top surface,and the supplementary spacer being harder than the main spacer,wherein a first area ratio, which is defined by dividing the area of the first top surface by that of the first bottom surface, is smaller than a second area ratio, which is defined by dividing the area of the second top surface by that of the second bottom surface.

Abstract
Provided is an LCD device including a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer, a main spacer, and a supplementary spacer. The liquid crystal layer is interposed between the first and second substrates. The main spacer makes contact with the first and second substrates. The supplementary spacer makes contact with one of the first and second substrates and is spaced apart from the other. A first area ratio defined by dividing the area of a first top surface by that of a first bottom surface of the main spacer may be smaller than a second area ratio defined by dividing the area of a second top surface by that of a second bottom surface of the supplementary spacer.
