US Patent 7714971 Liquid crystal display

A liquid crystal display (LCD) capable of preventing spots from being generated by difference in brightness caused by variation in a gap between substrates is provided. The LCD includes a first pad unit positioned on an upper corner of a lower substrate, a second pad unit positioned on a lower corner of the lower substrate diagonally across from the first pad unit, an integrated circuit electrically connected to the first pad unit and the second pad unit, and dummy pads positioned on the other upper corner of the lower substrate. The dummy pads are substantially symmetrical with second pads included in the second pad unit thus helping maintain the gap between the substrates uniform.
