Color filter substrate and manufacturing method thereof
View Patent ↗The invention provides a color filter substrate and a method thereof. A color filter substrate comprises a substrate, and a post spacer, a black matrix and a color resin that are disposed on the glass substrate. A method for manufacturing a color filter substrate comprises forming post spacers on a substrate, forming a black matrix on the resultant substrate formed with the post spacers, and then forming color resin layers on the resultant substrate formed with the post spacers and the black matrix.
1. A color filter substrate, comprising:
a substrate;
a post spacer having an end fixed on the substrate and another free end and having lateral sides;
a black matrix formed on the substrate, surrounding lateral sides of the post spacer near the end of the post spacer on the substrate and exposing the free end of the post spacer; and
a color resin formed on the substrate exposing the free end of the post spacer.
2. The color filter substrate of claim 1 , wherein the post spacer has a lengthwise section of a trapezoid shape.
3. The color filter substrate of claim 1 , wherein the post spacer has a cross-section of a round shape, a quadrangle shape or a polygon shape.
4. The color filter substrate of claim 1 , wherein the post spacer has a cross-section of a diameter of about 10 μm to 20 μm.
5. The color filter substrate of claim 1 , wherein the post spacer has a length of about 5 μm to 10 μm.
6. The color filter substrate of claim 1 , further comprising a common electrode formed on the color resin and exposing the free end of the post spacer.
7. A method for manufacturing a color filter substrate, comprising:
forming a post spacer on a substrate, with one end of the post spacer being fixed on to the substrate and the other end being a free end;
forming a black matrix on the substrate, the black matrix surrounding the lateral sides of the post spacer near the one end of the post spacer and exposing the free end of the post spacer; and
forming a color resin layer on the substrate and exposing the free end of the post spacer.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the post spacer has a cross-section of a diameter of about 10 μm to 20 μm at position where the post spacer is on the substrate.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the post spacer has a length of about 5 μm to 10 μm.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the black matrix has a thickness of about 1 μm to 5 μm.
11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the color resin layer has a thickness of about 1 μm to 5 μm.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
forming a common electrode layer on the color resin layer and exposing the free end of the post spacer.
13. A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, comprising:
an array substrate and a color filter substrate disposed facing each other;
wherein the array substrate comprises a pixel unit defined by intersection of a gate scan line and a data scan line, and the pixel unit comprises a thin film transistor (TFT) as a switch device;
wherein the color filter substrate comprises:
a substrate;
a post spacer having an end fixed on the substrate and another free end and having lateral sides;
a black matrix formed on the substrate, surrounding the lateral sides of the post spacer near the end of the post spacer on the substrate, and exposing the free end of the post spacer; and
a color resin formed on the glass substrate and exposing the free end of the post spacer; and
wherein the free end of the post spacer is located against the array substrate after the array substrate and the color filter substrate are assembled.
14. The LCD panel of claim 13 , wherein the color filter substrate further comprises a common electrode formed on the color resin exposing the free end of the post spacer.
15. The LCD panel of claim 13 , wherein the free end of the post spacer is located on the TFT on the array substrate after the array substrate and the color filter substrate are assembled.
16. The LCD panel of claim 13 , wherein the free end of the post spacer is located on the gate scan line on the array substrate after the array substrate and the color filter substrate are assembled.
