Abstract

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.

Claims (10)

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.
