LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE INCLUDING IN-CELL RETARDER AND THE METHOD FOR FABRICATING THEREOF

摘要

An LCD including an in-cell retarder and a manufacturing method thereof provided to prevent press spots of a panel and reduce an exposure process time without a mask patterning process for forming the in-cell retarder and the necessity for mask alignment by applying entire surface exposure. An LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) manufacturing method comprises the following steps of: preparing first and second substrates(200) having plural pixel areas which are disposed to face each other and spaced from each other at a predetermined interval; forming a color filter layer(260) in correspondence with a boundary part by area corresponding to the pixel area-wherein the color filter layer is disposed in the boundary part between the pixel areas of the first substrate within an inner surface of the first substrate; forming a column spacer(280) in correspondence with a boundary part by color at an upper part of the color filter layer; applying hardening LC solution to the whole upper part of the substrate where the column spacer is formed; concentrating the hardening LC solution in gaps between the column spacers according as the hardening LC solution flows from the top of the column spacer to left/right lower parts of the column spacer; disposing an exposure in an upper part spaced from the first substrate, and forming an in-cell retarder(250) through an exposure step of irradiating light to the hardening LC solution through the exposure in order to harden the hardening LC solution; interposing an LC layer between the first and second substrates; forming a seal pattern in the outer wall of the first and second substrates; and attaching the first and second substrates by using the seal pattern.
