Abstract: A display which comprises a liquid crystal layer (1108) between two glass substrates (1002,1102) and a first set of column spacers (1102,1104,1506,1510) each of which is disposed on top of a protrusion on a TFT substrate (1002,1502). The protrusion my be constituted by a pixel TFT (907) or a metal layer (1518,1608). A second set of column spacers (1204,1106,1512), which maintain a gap between each column spacer of the second set and the TFT subsstrate, may be disposed throughout the display, so that liquid crystal has room to spread out during the manufacturing process and protects the display against deformation from external forces.
