Abstract

A sealant region pattern for a liquid crystal display apparatus and a method for fabricating the same. The method comprises providing a first substrate and a second substrate opposite thereto, forming a predetermined material layer on the first substrate, forming an organic material pattern layer having openings of a saw tooth pattern on the predetermined material layer to expose the surface of the predetermined material layer underneath, The surface of the predetermined material layer and the sidewall of the organic material pattern layer form a predetermined angle.

Claims (23)

1. A method for forming a sealant region pattern of a liquid crystal display, comprising:

providing a first substrate and a second substrate opposite thereto;

forming a predetermined material layer on the first substrate; and

forming an organic material pattern layer having a saw tooth opening on the predetermined material layer to expose the surface of the predetermined material layer underneath, wherein the surface of the predetermined material layer and the sidewall of the organic material pattern layer form a predetermined angle.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined angle is less than about 60 degree.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined angle ranges from about 20 degree to about 30 degree.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined material layer comprises a passivation layer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined material layer comprises a metal electrode layer.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein formation of the organic material pattern layer comprises:

forming an organic material layer on the predetermined material layer; and

patterning the organic material layer to form the saw tooth opening therein;

wherein the organic material pattern layer comprises a plurality of segments adjacent to the saw tooth opening, and the respective height of the plurality segments gradually increases with respect to the distance from the saw tooth opening.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the organic material pattern layer is formed by means of a half-tone mask, a gray-tone mask, or a slit-pattern mask.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the organic material layer comprises polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or photosensitive-methylsilsesquiazane (PS-MSZ).

9. A sealant region pattern for a liquid crystal display, comprising:

a first substrate and a second substrate opposite thereto;

a predetermined material layer formed on the first substrate; and

an organic material pattern layer having a saw tooth opening formed on the predetermined material layer to expose the surface of the predetermined material layer underneath, wherein the surface of the predetermined material layer and the sidewall of the organic material pattern layer form a predetermined angle.

10. The sealant region of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined angle is less than about 60 degree.

11. The sealant region of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined angle ranges from about 20 degree to about 30 degree.

12. The sealant region of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined material layer comprises a passivation layer.

13. The sealant region of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined material layer comprises a metal electrode layer.

14. The sealant region of claim 9 , wherein the organic material layer comprises polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or photosensitive-methylsilsesquiazane (PS-MSZ).
