Abstract

A liquid crystal display device including a color filter is disclosed in the present invention. The liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate where a plurality of sub-pixels are defined thereon, a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate, and a color filter layer on the second substrate, facing into the first substrate, and having a red sub-color filter, a green sub-color filter, and a blue sub-color filter, wherein one blue sub-color filter corresponds to two sub-pixels adjacent to each other in a first direction perpendicular to a second direction where the red, green, and blue sub-color filters are alternately located.

Claims (20)

1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a first substrate having a plurality of sub-pixels defined thereon;

a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate; and

a color filter layer on the second substrate, facing the first substrate, and having a red sub-color filter, a green sub-color filter, and a blue sub-color filter, wherein one blue sub-color filter corresponds to two sub-pixels adjacent to each other in a first direction perpendicular to a second direction where the red, green and blue sub-color filters are alternately located,

wherein the blue sub-color filter has a brightness lower than the red and green sub-color filters,

wherein the brightness of the blue sub-color filter is about ½ of the red and green sub-color filters.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein both the red sub-color filter and the green sub-color filter correspond to one sub-pixel.

3. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a black matrix on the second substrate, wherein the black matrix surrounds the red, green, and blue sub-color filters.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the color filter layer has a unit repeatedly arranged, wherein the unit is composed of one blue sub-color filter, two red sub-color filters and two green sub-color filters.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the two red sub-color filters and the two green sub-color filters are arranged in the same direction.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the blue sub-color filter is disposed between the two red-sub color filters and the two green-sub color filters.

7. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a pixel electrode at each sub-pixel.

8. The device according to claim 7 , further comprising a thin film transistor connected to the pixel electrode.

9. The device according to claim 7 , further comprising a plurality of gate lines and a plurality of data lines on the first substrate, wherein the plurality of gate lines and the plurality of data lines cross each other and define the plurality of sub-pixels.

10. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sub-pixels have the same size.

11. The device according to claims 1 , wherein sub-color filters of the same color are arranged in the first direction.

12. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a first substrate having a plurality of sub-pixels, each of the plurality of sub-pixels having a space from adjacent sub-pixels;

a second substrate spaced apart from the first substrate; and

a color filter layer on the second substrate, facing the first substrate, and having red sub-color filters, green sub-color filters, and blue sub-color filters, wherein one blue sub-color filter of a unit corresponds to two sub-pixels adjacent to each other and covers a space between the two sub-pixels in a first direction perpendicular to a second direction where the red, green and blue sub-color filters are alternately located, wherein the one blue sub-color filter, two red sub-color filters and two green sub-color filters form the unit, wherein the two red sub-color filters of the unit are adjacent to each other, and the two green sub-color filters of the unit are adjacent to each other.
