A liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate having a display area and a non-display area; a second substrate; a sealing unit between the first and second substrates; the sealing unit surrounding the display area; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates; the liquid crystal layer surrounded by the sealing unit; at least one containment barrier between the sealing unit and the display area. The containment barrier may have a tapering angle different from that of a pattern formed on the display area.
