Liquid crystal display and manufacturing method thereof

摘要

A liquid crystal display includes a lower panel and an upper panel facing each other. A liquid crystal layer is interposed between the lower panel and the upper panel. An attachment member attaches the lower panel and the upper panel and encloses the liquid crystal layer. A gate driver is integrated on the lower panel. The gate driver generates a gate signal and includes a plurality of stages. A plurality of control signal lines transmit a control signal to the gate driver. A passivation layer is disposed on the gate driver and the plurality of control signal lines. An alignment layer is disposed on the passivation layer and completely covers the gate driver and the plurality of control signal lines. The alignment layer includes a first region and a second region connected to the first region. The second region extends to an edge of the lower panel.

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
a lower panel and an upper panel facing each other; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the lower panel and the upper panel; an attachment member, attaching the lower panel and the upper panel to each other and enclosing the liquid crystal layer; a gate driver integrated on the lower panel, the gate driver generating a gate signal and including a plurality of stages arranged in a first direction, wherein the gate driver is disposed within an inner area defined by the attachment member; a plurality of control signal lines transmitting a control signal to the gate driver and extending in the first direction; a passivation layer disposed on the gate driver and the plurality of control signal lines; and an alignment layer disposed on the passivation layer, the alignment layer aligning the liquid crystal layer and completely covering the gate driver and the plurality of control signal lines; wherein the alignment layer includes a first region extending in a second direction, transverse to the first direction, and a second region connected to the first region in the first direction, and the second region extends to reach an edge of the lower panel extending in the second direction, and wherein at least two corners of the attachment member are entirely covered by the second region while a portion of the attachment member located between the at least two entirely covered corners remains uncovered.
