Abstract

The present disclosure provides a liquid crystal displaying panel, which includes a first substrate having a displaying area and a sealant-coating area surrounding the displaying area and a light-blocking layer arranged between the displaying area and the sealant-coating area. The light-blocking layer can absorb and block ultraviolet light to prevent the ultraviolet light from affecting the liquid crystal layer. Additionally, the light-blocking layer and the pixel electrode layer are formed in the same process, that is, the light-blocking layer is simultaneously formed when the pixel electrode layer is formed. A thickness of the light-blocking layer is equal to that of the pixel electrode layer. Since the thickness of the light-blocking layer is equal to that of the pixel electrode layer, the pixel electrode layer and the light-blocking layer can be formed in the same process, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the light-blocking layer and the needed equipment.

Claims (22)

1. A liquid crystal displaying panel, comprising:

a first substrate having a displaying area and a sealant-coating area surrounding the displaying area; and

a light-blocking layer arranged between the displaying area and the sealant-coating area;

wherein the-first substrate further comprises a pixel electrode layer having a thickness equal to that of the light-blocking layer.

2. The liquid crystal displaying panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an outer edge of the light-blocking layer is aligned with an inner edge of the sealant-coating area of the first substrate, and an inner edge of the light-blocking layer is kept close to the pixel electrode layer without contacting the pixel electrode layer.

3. The liquid crystal displaying panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-blocking layer generates no electrical signals.

4. The liquid crystal displaying panel as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a second substrate, the second substrate comprises a common electrode layer electrically connected to the light-blocking layer.

5. The liquid crystal displaying panel as claimed in claim 4 further comprising a liquid crystal layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the light-blocking layer is configured to prevent ultraviolet light from irradiating the liquid crystal layer.

6. The liquid crystal displaying panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a fan-shaped notch is formed at an inner side of each corner of the light-blocking layer.

7. The liquid crystal displaying panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a number of openings are formed in the light-blocking layer.

8. The liquid crystal displaying panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-blocking layer is made of indium tin oxide for absorbing ultraviolet light.

9. A manufacturing method of a liquid crystal displaying panel, comprising:

providing a first substrate which comprises a displaying area and a sealant-coating area surrounding the displaying area;

forming a light-blocking layer between the displaying area and the sealant-coating area;

depositing a metal layer on the first substrate; and

etching the metal layer to form a pixel electrode layer on the displaying area of the first substrate and the light-blocking layer surrounding the pixel electrode layer, the pixel electrode layer having a thickness equal to that of the light-blocking layer.

10. The manufacturing method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein an outer edge of the light-blocking layer is aligned with an inner edge of the sealant-coating area of the first substrate, and an inner edge of the light-blocking layer is kept close to the pixel electrode layer without contacting the pixel electrode layer.

11. The manufacturing method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the light-blocking layer is made of indium tin oxide for absorbing ultraviolet light.

12. The manufacturing method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the light-blocking layer generates no electrical signals.

13. The manufacturing method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising: providing a second substrate which comprises common electrode layer electrically connected to the light-blocking layer.

14. The manufacturing method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising: forming a fan-shaped notch at an inner side of each corner of the light-blocking layer.

15. The manufacturing method as claimed in claim 9 further comprising: forming a number of openings in the light-blocking layer.
