Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes: a first insulation substrate; a first gate conductor disposed on the first insulation substrate and in a same layer as a gate line and a second gate conductor disposed on the first insulation substrate and in the same layer as the gate line; a gate insulating layer disposed on the first gate conductor and the second gate conductor; a data conductor disposed on the gate insulating layer and in a same layer as a data line; a thin film transistor disposed on the first insulation substrate; a first spacer disposed on the first insulation substrate; and a second spacer disposed on the first insulation substrate, where heights or widths of the first and second spacers are different from each other and having different heights or widths, and the second spacer overlaps the first gate conductor and the second gate conductor.

Abstract: According to exemplary embodiments of the invention, a liquid crystal display is provided which includes a plurality of spacers having different heights or a different distance or different pressure tolerance from a corresponding display panel and disposed in at least two pixel areas displaying different colors. As compared with conventional techniques (e.g., disposing the spacers only in one pixel area), the disposition density of the spacer per pixel area is lowered, such that it is possible to prevent the pressure tolerance of the spacer from intensively acting only on a specific pixel. The pressure tolerance of the spacer is uniformly maintained for every pixel, so that insufficiency of the amount of dropping liquid crystal is avoided. As a result, it is possible to prevent the light leakage caused by the insufficient liquid crystal.
