Liquid crystal display unit with spacer less damaged in washing solution and process for fabrication thereof

摘要

An in-plane switching type liquid crystal display unit has an array substrate structure for a matrix of thin film transistors, pixel electrodes connectable through associated thin film transistors to data lines and a common electrode, a counter substrate structure for a black matrix and color filters and liquid crystal filling the gap between the array substrate structure and the counter substrate structure, wherein spacer columns and spacer walls are respectively formed in an image producing area and a frame area, and the spacer walls are formed of anti-eroded material less eroded in acidic washing solution rather than the sealant for a sealing layer for adhering the substrate structures together, thereby preventing the liquid crystal from contaminant due to the acidic washing solution.
