Liquid crystal display and fabrication method thereof
View Patent ↗An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) includes a first panel having a first resolution; a second panel having a second resolution, the second resolution lower than the first resolution; and a compensation pattern on an array substrate of the second panel for maintaining a cell gap. According to the present invention, though a color filter layer of the second panel having the lower resolution has a lower thickness, a uniform cell gap can be maintained.
1. A method of fabricating an LCD including a first panel and a second panel having different resolutions, the method comprising:
forming a gate electrode and a gate bus line on a first substrate of the first panel and a second substrate of the second panel;
forming a gate insulating layer on the first and second substrates including the gate bus line;
forming an active layer including a channel layer and an ohmic contact layer on the first and second substrates including the gate insulating layer;
forming a source/drain electrode and a data bus line on the first and second substrates including the active layer, and at the same time forming a compensation pattern on the first substrate of the first panel; and
forming a pixel electrode on the first and second substrates including the source/drain electrode.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first panel has a first resolution that is lower than a second resolution of the second panel.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compensation pattern is formed on the same layer as a source/drain electrode.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein compensation pattern includes the same material as a source/drain electrode.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compensation pattern is formed to have one of rectangular, circular, triangular and polygonal shapes.
