Substrate for liquid crystal display with a substantially u-shaped black matrix and method of fabricating the same
View Patent ↗A color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display includes a transparent substrate, and color filters formed on the substrate each with a groove. A transparent conductive layer is deposited onto the color filters to form a common electrode. A chrome layer and a chrome oxide layer are sequentially deposited onto the common electrode to form a black matrix layer. An organic film is formed on the black matrix layer. The organic film suffers ashing such that only the portion of the organic film placed over the groove is left over, and other portions are all removed while exposing the black matrix layer. The exposed portion of the black matrix layer is removed through etching. In this way, the color filter substrate is completed in a simple manner.
1. A liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising:
a transparent substrate;
a color filter formed on the transparent substrate having a groove formed in the color filter and exposing a surface of the transparent substrate;
a black matrix formed within the groove of the color filter, wherein the black matrix is continuously formed on each side wall and a bottom surface of the groove in a substantial U-shape; and
a transparent conductive layer formed on the black matrix.
2. The LCD of claim 1 , further comprising an organic film formed on the black matrix such that the organic film is covered by the transparent conductive layer while filling the groove.
3. The LCD of claim 1 , wherein the black matrix is made of an organic material.
4. A color filter substrate, comprising:
a transparent substrate;
a color filter formed on the substrate and having a groove exposing a surface of the transparent substrate;
a black matrix placed within the groove of the color filter, wherein the black matrix is continuously formed on each side wall and a bottom surface of the groove in a substantial U-shape; and
a transparent conductive layer formed on the black matrix.
