Liquid crystal display
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display includes: a first substrate including a first through-hole; a second substrate facing the first substrate and including a second through-hole corresponding to the first through-hole; a sealant coupling the first substrate and the second substrate; a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a spacer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and a supporting assistance member including a third through-hole connected to the first through-hole and the second through-hole, wherein the supporting assistance member includes a first supporting assistance member made with the same material as the spacer.
1. A liquid crystal display comprising:
a first substrate comprising a first through-hole;
a second substrate facing the first substrate and comprising a second through-hole corresponding to the first through-hole;
a sealant coupling the first substrate and the second substrate together;
a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
a spacer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and
a supporting assistance member comprising a third through-hole connected to the first through-hole and the second through-hole,
wherein the first through-hole, the second through-hole, and the third through-hole are present in a peripheral area of the liquid crystal display and disposed between the sealant and an edge of the first substrate.
2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein
the supporting assistance member and the third through-hole are substantially cylindrical.
3. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein
a diameter of the third through-hole is in the range of 3.65 mm to 5.65 mm.
4. The liquid crystal display of claim 3 , wherein
the diameter of the cylinder is a sum of the diameter of the third through-hole and a value in the range of 0.5 mm to 0.7 mm.
5. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein
the supporting assistance member is disposed between the sealant and an edge of the first substrate.
6. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , further comprising:
a light blocking member disposed on the first substrate or the second substrate to block light incident to the liquid crystal layer; and
a color filter disposed on the first substrate or the second substrate,
wherein the supporting assistance member further comprises a second supporting assistance member made of the same material as at least one of the light blocking member and the color filter.
7. The liquid crystal display of claim 6 , wherein
the supporting assistance member further comprises a third supporting assistance member made of an insulating material or a metal.
