Liquid crystal display device and method of fabricating the same
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display device includes a substrate, a black matrix layer on the substrate and having a first plurality of openings, a color filter layer on the black matrix layer and having a second plurality of openings, and a plurality of column spacers each contacting the substrate through the first plurality and second plurality of openings.
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
a substrate;
a black matrix layer on the substrate and having a first plurality of openings;
a color filter layer on the black matrix layer and having a second plurality of openings; and
a plurality of column spacers each contacting the substrate through the first plurality and second plurality of openings,
wherein each of the first plurality of openings are distributed among adjacent blue color resins of the color filter layer.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein sidewall portions of the first plurality and second plurality of opening are aligned.
3. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising an overcoat layer on the color filter layer and having a third plurality of openings.
4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein sidewall portions of the first plurality and third plurality of openings are aligned.
5. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a common electrode on the color filter layer and having a fourth plurality of openings.
6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein sidewall portions of the first plurality and fourth plurality of openings are aligned.
7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of column spacers include colored resin material.
8. A method for fabricating a liquid crystal display device, comprising:
forming a black matrix layer on a substrate;
forming a color filter layer on the black matrix layer;
forming a first plurality of openings through the color filter layer and black matrix layer to expose a surface portion of the substrate; and
forming a plurality of column spacers within the first plurality of openings,
wherein each of the first plurality of openings are distributed among adjacent blue color resins of the color filter layer.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the plurality of column spacers include a colored resin material.
10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first plurality of openings and the plurality of column spacers are integrally formed.
11. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising forming an overcoat layer on the color filter layer an having a second plurality of openings.
12. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising forming a common electrode on the color filter layer and having a third plurality of openings.
