a tn mode or ips mode lcd device includes lower and upper substrates that face each other and a liquid crystal disposed therebetween . pixel regions are defined on the substrates . a multi - layer structure of black matrix layers are formed in regions of one of the substrates other than the pixel regions . the first black matrix layer is formed from an opaque metal while the second black matrix layer is formed from resin . the second black matrix layer completely covers the first black matrix layer . the combined multi - layer black matrix structure has an optical density of about 4 . 5 to 5 .
