Abstract

A display device including an insulating substrate, a signal line located on the insulating substrate, a dam and a first color filter pattern located on the insulating substrate, and a second color filter pattern located in a pixel region which has a border defined by the dam, wherein the dam and the first color filter pattern are part of the same layer.

Claims (39)

1. A display device, comprising:

an insulating substrate;

a dam and a first color filter pattern located on the insulating substrate; and

a second color filter pattern located in a pixel region which has a border defined by the dam,

wherein the dam and the first color filter pattern are part of the same layer,

wherein the second color filter pattern comprises a red, a green or a blue color filter pattern, and

wherein the first color filter pattern comprises a white color filter pattern.

2. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the second color filter pattern comprises a magenta, a cyan or a yellow color filter pattern.

3. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a pixel electrode is formed on the first color filter pattern.

4. The display device of claim 3 , wherein a smoothing layer is located on the first color filter pattern.

5. The display device of claim 1 , wherein a common electrode is formed on the first color filter pattern.

6. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the dam is located on a signal line and below a light blocking pattern.

7. The display device of claim 6 , wherein the dam further comprises a white pigment.

8. A method of manufacturing a display device, the method comprising:

forming a dam and a first color filter pattern on the insulating substrate; and

forming a second color filter pattern on the insulating substrate using an inkjet printing method,

wherein the dam and the first color filter pattern are formed during the same process step,

wherein the second color filter pattern comprises a red, a green, or a blue color filter pattern, and

wherein the first color filter pattern comprises a white color filter pattern.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the second color filter pattern comprises a magenta, a cyan, or a yellow color filter pattern.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the dam comprises the same material as the first color filter pattern.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

forming a pixel electrode on at least one of the first or second color filter patterns.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising;

forming a smoothing layer between the pixel electrode and at least one of the dam, the first color filter pattern or the second color filter pattern.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein a light blocking pattern is formed on at least one of the dam, the first color filter pattern or the second color filter pattern.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the dam is formed on a signal line and below the light blocking pattern.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the dam further comprises a white pigment.

16. A thin film transistor substrate, comprising;

an insulating substrate;

a signal line located on the insulating substrate;

a dam and a first color filter pattern located on the insulating substrate;

a second color filter pattern located on the insulating substrate;

a smoothing layer located on the dam, the first color filter pattern and the second color filter pattern;

a pixel electrode located on the smoothing layer; and

a light blocking pattern located on the signal line,

wherein the dam and the first color filter pattern are located on the same layer,

wherein the second color filter pattern comprises a red, a green or a blue color filter pattern, and

wherein the first color filter pattern comprises a white color filter pattern.
