Panel for liquid crystal display
View Patent ↗A pixel electrode is formed in the pixel area defined by longitudinal data lines and transverse gate lines, and has openings. Projections made up of a gate insulating film and a passivation film are formed under the pixel electrode, and a gate pattern is formed under the projections. This gate pattern is formed to be wider than the projections to fully cover texture around the projections.
1. A panel for a liquid crystal display, comprising:
an insulating substrate;
a first wire formed on said insulating substrate;
a second wire intersecting and insulated from the first wire;
a pixel area defined by the intersecting of the first wire and the second wire;
a transparent pixel electrode provided in the pixel area;
a domain-defining member provided over said insulating substrate and dividing the pixel area into a plurality of domains; and
an opaque shading film formed on the insulating substrate and covering a texture around the domain defining member,
wherein said shading film is electrically floating and overlaps said domain-defining member at least in part.
2. The panel of claim 1 , wherein said domain-defining member comprises projections.
3. The panel of claim 1 , wherein said pixel electrode has an opening pattern and said domain-defining member comprises the opening pattern.
4. The panel of claim 1 , wherein said domain-defining member comprises projections and an opening of the pixel electrode.
5. A panel for a liquid crystal display, comprising:
an insulating substrate;
a first wire formed on said insulating substrate;
a second wire intersecting the first wire, said second wire insulated from the first wire;
a transparent pixel electrode in a pixel area defined by the intersection of said first wire and said second wire;
a domain-defining member provided over said insulating substrate and comprising projections; and
an opaque shading film formed on the insulating substrate;
wherein the projections comprise an internal projection located in the pixel area and a peripheral projection located around the pixel area, and an outline of the internal projection is encircled by an outline of the shading film.
6. The panel of claim 5 , wherein the internal projection comprises an insulating film, and the shading film is formed of the same layer as the first wire.
7. The panel of claim 1 , wherein an outline of a portion of the domain-defining member overlapping the shading film is encircled by an outline of the shading film.
8. A panel for a liquid crystal display, comprising:
an insulating substrate;
a first wire formed on the insulating substrate;
an opaque shading film formed on the insulating substrate and spaced apart from the first wire;
a first insulating film formed on said first wire and said shading film;
a second wire formed on said first insulating film;
a second insulating film formed on said second wire and said first insulating film; and
a transparent pixel electrode formed on said second insulating film and said insulating substrate and connected to a portion of said second wire;
wherein said pixel electrode has a first portion overlying the shading film and a second portion surrounding the first portion, and a first distance between the insulating substrate and the first portion is longer than a second distance between the insulating substrate and the second portion.
