Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate, a first electrode formed on the first substrate, a passivation layer formed between the first substrate and the first electrode, a second substrate facing the first substrate, a second electrode formed on the second substrate, a columnar spacer formed between the second substrate and the first substrate, and a liquid crystal layer having liquid crystal molecules vertically aligned with respect to the first and second substrates, and formed between the first and second substrates. The passivation layer and the columnar spacer are made of substantially the same material at the same layer.

Claims (20)

1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a first substrate;

a gate line, a data line and a first electrode formed on the first substrate;

a organic insulating layer formed on the first substrate;

a second substrate facing the first substrate;

a second electrode formed on the second substrate;

a columnar spacer formed on the first substrate; wherein the organic insulating layer and the columnar spacer are made of substantially the same material at the same layer by a mold.

2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the organic insulating layer does not include a photo acid generator.

3. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the organic insulating layer comprises a passivation layer having a contact hole.

4. The liquid crystal display of claim 3 , further comprising a slope member formed on the passivation layer.

5. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the organic insulating layer comprises a passivation layer having a contact hole.

6. The liquid crystal display of claim 5 , further comprising a slope member formed on the passivation layer.

7. A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display, comprising:

coating an organic insulating layer on a substrate;

pressing the organic insulating layer by using a mold;

forming a thin film by absorbing solvent from the organic insulating layer into the mold; and

removing the mold from the substrate; wherein the thin film comprises a passivation layer having a contact hole and a columnar spacer.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the organic insulating layer does not include a photo acid generator.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the thin film comprises a slope member.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the mold includes polydimethylsiloxane.
