Liquid crystal display device having patterned spacers and method of fabricating the same

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

first and second substrates;

a black matrix on the second substrate, the black matrix including a plurality of open portions corresponding to pixel regions and a plurality of holes disposed adjacent to the plurality of open portions;

color filter layers in the open portions of the black matrix;

an overcoat layer on the color filter layers and filling the holes to transmit light therethrough; and

a plurality of patterned spacers on the overcoat layer and at positions corresponding to the plurality of holes between the first and the second substrates,

wherein the plurality of patterned spacers includes a photosensitive material including a sensitizer, and the sensitizer reacts with an UV light of a range having about 313 nm as a central wavelength, and

wherein the patterned spacers have a viscosity higher than a viscosity of the overcoat layer.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the color filter layers include red, green and blue filters in the plurality of open portions.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the red, green and blue filters overlap the black matrix.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of the plurality of holes includes one of a square shape and a circular shape.

5. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a common electrode between the color filter layers and the plurality of patterned spacers.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the overcoat layer includes a transparent colorless material.
