1. A liquid crystal display device (LCD) comprising:
a liquid crystal panel for displaying an image;
a printed circuit board (PCB) including a ground pattern and a solder resistor formed thereon and having electronic devices mounted thereon to generate signals for driving the liquid crystal panel; and
protective patterns formed around an electronic device which is vulnerable to an electrostatic discharge separating the vulnerable electronic device from other electronic devices, wherein the protective patterns have a plurality of patterns formed by the ground pattern exposed to the exterior by partially removing the solder resistor around the vulnerable electronic device.
