Disclosed is a liquid crystal display device including first and second substrates, each of the substrates having a display area and a non-display area; a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; a column spacer in each of the display area and the non-display area on the first substrate; and a thin film layer stack in each of the display area and the non-display area on the second substrate, wherein a distance from the second substrate to an end of the thin film layer stack in the display area is identical to a distance from the second substrate to an end of the thin film layer stack in the non-display area.
