Abstract

In the optically compensated bend (OCB) type liquid crystal display device comprises a substrate 20 having a plurality of stripe-like color filters in a plurality of different colors from one another aligned in parallel with and spaced apart from each other on the substrate, a transparent electrode deposited on the color filter and an orientation film deposited on the transparent electrode, the orientation film being treated with an orientation process in a direction along a longitudinal direction of the stripe of the stripe-like color filter, and rugged portions on an edge of the color filters adjacent to each other.

Claims (11)

1. An optically compensated bend (OCB) type liquid crystal display device comprising:

a substrate having

a plurality of stripe-like color filters in a plurality of different colors from one another aligned thereon in parallel with each other,

a transparent electrode deposited on the color filter; and

an orientation film deposited on the transparent electrode, the orientation film being rubbed with an orientation process in a longitudinal direction of the stripe of the stripe-like color filter;

wherein a rugged portion is provided on one part of an edge of the color filters adjacent to each other.

2. The OCB type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the stripe-like color filters in a plurality of different colors are positioned in parallel with each other, and each edge thereof is spaced apart from other one.

3. The OCB type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 or 2 , wherein the stripe-like color filters include a convex rugged portion formed on an edge at one side thereof and a concave rugged portion formed on an edge at another side thereof, and the rugged portion is configured with the concave rugged portion of the stripe-like color filter and the convex rugged portion, which is fitted in the concave rugged portion of the stripe-like color filter through a gap portion, of the adjacent stripe-like color filter.

4. The OCB type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 or 2 , wherein the substrate is a counter substrate having the transparent electrode as a counter electrode, and a liquid crystal layer transferring between a spray alignment state and a bend alignment state is interposed between the counter substrate and an array substrate having a pixel electrode corresponding to each pixel region.

5. The OCB type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 or 2 , wherein the rugged portion is provided for each pixel region.

6. The OCB type liquid crystal display device as set forth in claim 1 or 2 , wherein the rugged portion is formed in a zigzag pattern.
