Abstract

A color filter substrate and applications thereof are disclosed. The color filter substrate comprises a transparent substrate, a light-shade layer, a color filter layer and an electrode layer. The light-shade layer and the color filter layer are disposed on the transparent substrate. The electrode layer is formed on the light-shade layer and the color filter layer, wherein the electrode layer comprises at least one first electrode region, at least one second electrode region, at least one slit and at least one connecting portion. The first electrode region and the second electrode region are separated by the slit. The connecting portion is connected between the first electrode region and the second electrode region. The color filter substrate is applicable to a liquid crystal display panel and a liquid crystal display (LCD) apparatus.
