Abstract

A color filter substrate includes a substrate, a black matrix disposed on the substrate, a color filter on a sub-pixel area partitioned by the black matrix, a common electrode disposed on the color filter to receive a common voltage, and an anti-reflective layer configured to prevent the reflection of light in the color filter substrate.

Claims (56)

1. A color filter substrate, comprising:

a substrate;

a black matrix disposed on the substrate;

a color filter on a sub-pixel area partitioned by the black matrix;

an overcoat layer disposed on the color filter to planarize the color filer;
