Abstract

Disclosed is an LCD device which facilitates to improve transmittance for each colored light by a design capable of realizing an optimal cell gap for each of sub-pixels, and a method for manufacturing the same. The LCD device comprises first and second substrates confronting each other; a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; and first, second, and third sub-pixels, wherein a cell gap of the first sub-pixel is larger than a cell gap of the third sub-pixel.

Claims (41)

1. An LCD device, comprising:

first and second substrates confronting each other;

a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; and

first, second, and third sub-pixels, wherein a cell gap of the first sub-pixel is larger than a cell gap of the third sub-pixel, and

wherein the first substrate comprises: a first base having a first groove in the first sub-pixel, a passivation film on the first base, a pixel electrode in the first sub-pixel positioned in the first groove, and a pixel electrode in the third sub-pixel positioned on the passivation film,

wherein: the first substrate corresponding to the first sub-pixel comprises:

gate and data lines crossing each other on the first base;

a thin film transistor at the crossing of the gate and data lines;

the pixel electrode electrically connected with the thin film transistor;

a common electrode arranged in parallel to the pixel electrode; and

a common line for applying a common voltage to the common electrode; and

wherein the gate line, the common line, and the common electrode are received and positioned in the first groove of the first base.

2. The LCD device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first sub-pixel corresponds to a red-colored sub-pixel;

the second sub-pixel corresponds to a green-colored sub-pixel; and

the third sub-pixel corresponds to a blue-colored sub-pixel.

3. The LCD device according to claim 2 , wherein the cell gap of the first sub-pixel is the same as a cell gap of the second sub-pixel.

4. The LCD device according to claim 3 , wherein:

a thickness of the first substrate corresponding to the first sub-pixel is the same as a thickness of the first substrate corresponding to the second sub-pixel; and

the thickness of the first substrate corresponding to the first sub-pixel is smaller than a thickness of the first substrate corresponding to the third sub-pixel.

5. The LCD device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the common electrode comprises: a first common electrode diverged from the common line; and a second common electrode electrically connected with the first common electrode and arranged alternately with the pixel electrode; and

the first common electrode and the second common electrode are received and positioned in the first groove of the first base.

6. An LCD device comprising:

first and second substrates confronting each other;

a liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates; and

first, second, and third sub-pixels, wherein a cell gap of the first sub-pixel is larger than a cell gap of the third sub-pixel,

wherein the first substrate comprises a first base having a first groove in the first sub-pixel, a passivation film on the first base, a pixel electrode in the first sub-pixel positioned in the first groove, and a pixel electrode in the third sub-pixel positioned on the passivation film, and

wherein: the first substrate corresponding to the third sub-pixel comprises:

gate and data lines crossing each other on the first base;

a thin film transistor at the crossing of the gate and data lines;

the pixel electrode electrically connected with the thin film transistor;

a common electrode arranged in parallel to the pixel electrode; and

a common line for applying a common voltage to the common electrode;

the first base further comprises a second groove in the third sub-pixel; and

the gate line and the common line are received and positioned in the second groove of the first base.

7. The LCD device according to claim 6 , wherein:

the common electrode comprises:

a first common electrode diverged from the common line; and

a second common electrode electrically connected with the first common electrode and arranged alternately with the pixel electrode; and

the first common electrode is received and positioned in the second groove of the first base.
