Abstract

A color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display device includes a substrate having a plurality of pixel regions, a black matrix array having a lattice configuration on the substrate, the black matrix array corresponding to boundary regions between adjacent ones of the pixel regions, a plurality of color filter layers, each corresponding to one of the pixel regions, and a column spacer array having a lattice configuration, the column spacer array corresponding to the black matrix array.

Claims (17)

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

a substrate having a plurality of pixel regions;

a black matrix array having a lattice configuration on the substrate, the black matrix array corresponding to boundary regions between adjacent ones of the pixel regions;

a plurality of color filter layers, each corresponding to one of the pixel regions; and

a column spacer array having a lattice configuration, the column spacer array corresponding to the black matrix array.

2. The color filter substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the column spacer array has width portions narrower than width portions of the black matrix array.

3. The color filter substrate according to claim 1 , further comprising a common electrode on the substrate.

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

forming a black matrix array having a lattice configuration on a substrate, the black matrix array corresponding to boundary regions of adjacent ones of a plurality of pixel regions provided on the substrate;

forming a plurality of color filter layers each corresponding to one of the pixel regions; and

forming a column spacer array having a lattice configuration corresponding to the black matrix array.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the column spacer array has width portions narrower than width portions of the black matrix array.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the black matrix array includes photosensitive black resin.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the color filter layers include sequentially arranged red, green, and blue sub color filters.

8. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the column spacer array includes transparent photosensitive resin.

9. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising forming a common electrode on the substrate.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the common electrode includes one of indium tin oxide and indium zinc oxide.
