Abstract

A liquid crystal display is provided, which includes: a substrate; a color filter formed on the substrate, and having a depression and an opening; a common electrode formed on the color filter, and having a depression; and a black member formed on the common electrode and located at the depressions of the common electrode.

Claims (46)

1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a first substrate;

a plurality of gate lines on the first substrate;

a plurality of data lines extending across the gate lines;

a plurality of pixels defined by the gate lines and the data lines;

a second substrate;

a color filter including a depression, formed on the second substrate, corresponding to each pixel;

a common electrode formed on the color filter;

a light blocking member, disposed between the pixels, formed on the common electrode; and

a protrusion formed on the common electrode located at the depression of the color filter;

wherein the protrusion is made of the same material as the light blocking member.

2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , further comprising a depression of the common electrode formed by the depression and the opening of the color filter.

3. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 1 , wherein the protrusion has a sloped surface.

4. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the color filter includes a opening and the light blocking member includes a portion that overlaps the opening of the color filter and has substantially a same height as a height of the color filter.

5. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the light blocking member comprises an organic material.

6. A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a first substrate;

a plurality of pixel electrodes, provided on the first substrate, including an opening;

a second substrate facing the first substrate;

a color filter, provided on the second substrate, having a depression facing the pixel electrodes and an opening facing the region between the pixel electrodes;

a common electrode, provided on the color filter, having a depression formed by the depression of the color filter;

a light blocking member provided on the common electrode; and

a protrusion formed on the common electrode located at the depression of the color filter,

wherein the protrusion is made of the same material as the blocking member.

7. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 6 , wherein the protrusion has a sloped surface.

8. The liquid crystal display of claim 6 , wherein the light blocking member includes a portion overlapping the opening of the color filter and has substantially a same height as a height of the color filter.

9. The liquid crystal display of claim 6 , further comprising:

a liquid crystal layer formed between the first and the second substrates, and having negative dielectric anisotropy.

10. The liquid crystal display of claim 9 , wherein negative dielectric anisotropy of the liquid crystal layer is in a range of approximately 3 to 8.

11. The liquid crystal display of claim 10 , wherein the light blocking member comprises an organic insulator having a dielectric constant that is less than or equal to a dielectric constant of the liquid crystal layer.

12. A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display panel, comprising:

forming a color filter having a depression and an opening;

forming a common electrode on the color filter; and

forming a light blocking member on the common electrode,

wherein the light blocking member is formed by a photolithography process using a photo-mask having an opaque area facing the depression of the color filter, a translucent area facing the opening of the color filter, and a transmissive area facing a portion of the color filter that does not include the depression or the opening.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

forming the color filter by a photolithography process using a photo-mask having an opaque portion facing the opening of the color filter, a translucent portion facing the depression of the color filter, and a transmissive area facing a portion of the color filter that does not include the depression or the opening.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the light blocking member has a protrusion overlapping the depression of the color filter and protruded to the upside of the color filter.

15. The liquid crystal display panel of claim 14 , wherein the protrusion has a sloped surface.

16. A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a substrate;

a color filter, provided on the substrate, having a depression and an opening;

a common electrode, provided on the color filter, having a depression formed by the depression of the color filter, and having a first surface and a second surface located father from the substrate than the first surface;

a black matrix formed on the common electrode and contacting the second surface of the common electrode; and

a protrusion formed on the common electrode located at the depression of the color filter, wherein the protrusion is made of the same material as the black matrix.

17. The liquid crystal display of claim 16 , wherein the black matrix is located at the opening of the color filter.
