Abstract

A color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display device includes: a substrate; red, green and blue sub-color filters made of a transcription film on the substrate and spaced apart from each other; a black matrix on the red, green and blue sub-color filters; an overcoat layer on the black matrix; and a common electrode overcoat layer.

Claims (57)

1. A color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a substrate;

a transcription film on the substrate having red, green and blue sub-color filters spaced apart from each other wherein each of the red, green and blue sub-color filters has a substantially jagged indented edge portion;

a black matrix on the red, green and blue sub-color filters;

an overcoat layer on the black matrix; and

a common electrode on the overcoat layer,

wherein the black matrix overlaps an upper surface of the sub-color filters.

2. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein each of the red, green and blue sub-color filters is a vacuum-pressure attached transcription film attached to the substrate.

3. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the black matrix is in a space between the adjacent sub-color filters.

4. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the black matrix includes a photosensitive organic material.

5. The substrate according to claim 4 , wherein the photosensitive organic material is one of a photosensitive resin and an epoxy resin including pigment.

6. The substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the black matrix entirely covers the substantially jagged indented edge portion.

7. The substrate according to claim 6 , wherein the black matrix has a width of about 15 μm to about 30 μm.

8. A fabricating method of a color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

forming red, green and blue sub-color filters on a substrate using a thermal imaging method, the red, green and blue sub-color filters being spaced apart from each other;

forming a black matrix on the red, green and blue sub-color filters;

forming an overcoat layer on the black matrix; and

forming a common electrode on the overcoat layer.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the black matrix is formed in a space between the adjacent sub-color filters.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the step of forming the red, green and blue sub-color filters includes:

attaching a red transcription film on the substrate;

irradiating a laser beam onto the red transcription film corresponding to a red sub-pixel region;

removing the red transcription film from the substrate to form the red sub-color filter;

attaching a green transcription film on the substrate;

irradiating a laser beam onto the green transcription film corresponding to a green sub-pixel region;

removing the green transcription film from the substrate to form the green sub-color filter;

attaching a blue transcription film on the substrate;

irradiating a laser beam onto the blue transcription film corresponding to a blue sub-pixel region;

removing the blue transcription film from the substrate to form the blue sub-color filter; and

hardening the red, green and blue sub-color filters.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the step of hardening the red, green and blue sub-color filters is performed under a temperature of about 200° C. to about 300° C.

12. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the step of forming the red, green and blue sub-color filters includes:

attaching a red transcription film on the substrate;

irradiating a laser beam onto the red transcription film corresponding to a red sub-pixel region;

removing the red transcription film from the substrate to form the red sub-color filter;

hardening the red sub-color filter;

attaching a green transcription film on the substrate;

irradiating a laser beam onto the green transcription film corresponding to a green sub-pixel region;

removing the green transcription film from the substrate to form the green sub-color filter;

hardening the green sub-color filter;

attaching a blue transcription film on the substrate;

irradiating a laser beam onto the blue transcription film corresponding to a blue sub-pixel region;

removing the blue transcription film from the substrate to form the blue sub-color filter; and

hardening the blue sub-color filter.

13. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the black matrix includes a photosensitive organic material.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the photosensitive organic material is one of a photosensitive resin and an epoxy resin including pigment.

15. The method according to claim 8 , wherein each of the red, green and blue sub-color filters has an indented edge portion.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the black matrix entirely covers the indented edge portion.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the black matrix has a width of about 15 μm to about 30 μm.

18. A color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display device, comprising:

a substrate;

a thermal-imageable transcription film on the substrate having red, green and blue sub-color filters spaced apart from each other;

a black matrix on the red, green and blue sub-color filters;

an overcoat layer on the black matrix; and

a common electrode on the overcoat layer,

wherein the black matrix overlaps an upper surface of the sub-color filters.

19. The substrate according to claim 18 , wherein each of the red, green and blue sub-color filters has a substantially indented edge portion.
