Liquid crystal display panel and method of manufacturing the same
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate including a gate line, a data line crossing the gate line, and an insulating layer interposed between the gate line and the data line, defining a pixel, and a thin film transistor disposed at the pixel, a second substrate facing the first substrate, and a cell gap maintaining member disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and including a connecting wall attached to either the first substrate or the second substrate, and a plurality of protrusions protruding from the connecting wall.
1. A liquid crystal display panel comprising:
a first substrate including a gate line, a data line crossing the gate line, and an insulating layer interposed between the gate line and the data line, defining a pixel, and a thin film transistor disposed at the pixel and a storage electrode line;
a second substrate facing the first substrate and including a black matrix; and
a cell gap maintaining member disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate and including a connecting wall attached to either the first substrate or the second substrate, and a plurality of protrusions protruding from the connecting wall,
wherein the connecting wall overlaps with at least one of the gate line, the data line, the thin film transistor, the storage electrode line or the black matrix, and a width of the connecting wall is less than or equal to a width of each of the gate line, the data line, the thin film transistor, the storage electrode line or the black matrix overlapping the connecting wall, and
wherein the connecting wall includes one or more grooves overlapping at least one of the gate line or the data line.
2. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 1 , wherein a depth of each of the one or more grooves is less than or equal to a height of the connecting wall.
3. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of the protrusions includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion having a different height than a height of the first protrusion.
4. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 3 , wherein the first or second protrusions contact either the first substrate or the second substrate.
