Abstract

A reflective liquid crystal display that comprises: a first substrate; a common electrode formed on the first substrate; a second substrate corresponding to the first substrate; a pixel electrode formed on the second substrate; partitions formed between the common electrode and the pixel electrode; red, green, and blue cholesteric liquid crystals formed in regions separated by the partitions; and sealing lines formed on the outer peripheries of the partitions and having three liquid crystal injection holes.

Claims (33)

1. A reflective liquid crystal display, comprising:

a first substrate;

a common electrode formed on the first substrate;

a second substrate corresponding to the first substrate;

a pixel electrode formed on the second substrate;

partitions formed between the common electrode and the pixel electrode,

the partitions separating three regions in the display;

cholesteric liquid crystals formed in the three regions separated by the partitions; and

sealing lines formed on outer peripheries of the partitions and having three liquid crystal injection holes,

wherein blue liquid crystals (B), red liquid crystals (R), and green liquid crystals (G) are arranged in an order of BRG-GRB-BRG-GRB across a center portion of the reflective liquid crystal display.

2. The reflective liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the partitions comprise a first part consisting of transversal segments extending in a first direction of a liquid crystal panel.

3. The reflective liquid crystal display of claim 2 , wherein the partitions comprise a second part consisting of longitudinal segments extending in a second direction that is substantially orthogonal to the first direction; the longitudinal segments being positioned at upper and lower end portions of the liquid crystal panel and connecting the transversal segments of the first part to each other.

4. The reflective liquid crystal display of claim 3 , wherein the partitions have an additional injection hole for each of the blue liquid crystals, the red liquid crystals, and the green liquid crystals.

5. The reflective liquid crystal display of claim 1 wherein the partitions are formed from a photosensitive organic material.

6. The reflective liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the sealing lines formed on the outer peripheries of the partitions extend to the three liquid crystal injection holes.

7. The reflective liquid crystal display of claim 6 , wherein an end seal is formed in each of the three liquid crystal injection holes.

8. The reflective liquid crystal display of claim 1 , further comprising a thin film transistor formed on the second substrate.

9. The reflective liquid crystal display of claim 8 , further comprising an absorption plate that is formed on the thin film transistor and absorbs light.

10. A manufacturing method of a reflective liquid crystal display, the method comprising:

forming a common electrode on a first substrate;

forming a pixel electrode on a second substrate;

forming partitions between the common electrode and the pixel electrode, wherein the partitions form three regions including a blue (B) region, a red (R) region, and a green (G) region that correspond to blue liquid crystals, red liquid crystals, and green liquid crystals, respectively;

injecting cholesteric liquid crystals, through three liquid crystal injection holes respectively corresponding to the blue (B) region, the red (R) region, and the green (G) region, into each of the three regions separated by the partitions, wherein the blue (B) region, the red (R) region, and the green (G) region are arranged in an order of BRG-GRB-BRG-GRB across a center portion of the reflective liquid crystal display; and

sealing each of the three liquid crystal injection holes.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the partitions are formed using a photosensitive organic material.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the partitions comprise a first part that is arranged in a stripe pattern extending in a first direction of a liquid crystal panel.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the partitions comprise a second part that is formed parallel to an second direction and is positioned at upper and lower ends of the liquid crystal panel and the second part connects upper and lower end portions of the first part to each other.

14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising forming sealing lines around outer peripheries of the partitions.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the sealing each of the three liquid crystal injection holes comprises forming an end seal in each of the three liquid crystal injection holes.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the end seal in each of the three liquid crystal injection holes is formed separately after the cholesteric liquid crystals are injected.

17. The method of claim 15 wherein the end seal in each of the three liquid crystal injection holes is formed simultaneously after the cholesteric liquid crystals are injected.

18. The method of claim 10 , further comprising forming a thin film transistor on the second substrate.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising forming an absorption plate that absorbs light, on the thin film transistor.
