Color filter plate and thin film transistor plate for liquid crystal display, and methods for fabricating the plates
View Patent ↗A color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display includes a substrate, a black matrix formed on the substrate, and a plurality of color filters formed on the substrate with the black matrix. Each color filter has a flat central portion, and a peripheral portion placed on the black matrix with a thickness smaller than the central portion. A common electrode is formed on the plurality of color filters. A thin film transistor array substrate for the liquid crystal display includes a substrate, a plurality of gate lines formed on the substrate, a plurality of data lines crossing over the gate lines while defining pixel regions, a thin film transistor formed at each pixel region, and a plurality of color filters. Each color filter has a flat central portion, and a peripheral portion placed on the data lines with a thickness smaller than the central portion. Contact holes expose the drain electrodes, and pixel electrodes are connected to the drain electrodes through the contact holes.
1. A liquid crystal display, comprising:
a substrate;
a plurality of gate lines formed on the substrate;
a plurality of data lines crossing over the gate lines;
a plurality of pixel regions defined by the plurality of gate lines and the plurality of data lines;
a thin film transistor formed at each pixel region;
a plurality of color filters, each color filter having a flat central portion and a peripheral portion placed on the data lines and thinner than the central portion;
a plurality of contact holes formed in the plurality of color filters for exposing the drain electrodes; and
a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the drain electrodes through the contact holes.
2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of color filters comprise a first color filter and a second color filter neighboring and overlapping the first color filter over the data lines.
3. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the peripheral portion of the second color filter overlaps the peripheral portion of the first color filter.
4. The liquid crystal display of claim 3 , wherein the peripheral portion of the second color filter overlaps the peripheral portion and the central portion of the first color filter.
5. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the second color filter is spaced apart from the first color filter with a predetermined distance therebetween.
