Display apparatus having spacers with different heights and different upper and lower surface areas

摘要

A display apparatus includes a lower substrate, an upper substrate, a spacer and an image display layer. The spacer includes a main spacer, a first sub-spacer and a second sub-spacer. The main spacer has a height greater than that of the first and second sub-spacers. The second sub-spacer has an area wider than that of the main spacer and the first sub-spacer.

主权项

1. A display apparatus comprising:
a lower substrate comprising a gate line, a data line crossing the gate line, and a pixel area; an upper substrate which faces the lower substrate; an image display layer between the lower substrate and the upper substrate; a spacer on the upper substrate and protruded toward the lower substrate, a first light blocking layer elongated in extension directions of the gate line and data line to cover the gate line and the data line; and a second light blocking layer which overlaps a portion of the elongated first light blocking layer at a cross portion at which the gate line and the data line cross each other, and is larger than the first light blocking layer at the cross portion in a plan view, wherein the spacer comprises a main spacer and sub-spacers, each comprising an upper surface having an upper surface area, and a lower surface having a lower surface area, a height of the sub-spacers is different from a height of the main spacer, and
the sub-spacers comprise a first sub-spacer and a second sub-spacer, and the upper surface area of the second sub-spacer is different from the upper surface area of the first sub-spacer or the lower surface area of the second sub-spacer is different from the lower surface area of the first sub-spacer.
