Liquid crystal display device
View Patent ↗Provided is a liquid crystal display device, including: a TFT substrate including a pixel electrode; a liquid crystal layer provided on the TFT substrate; and a color filter substrate provided on the liquid crystal layer. The color filter substrate includes a light non-transmitting layer made of a material that limits transmission of light. The light non-transmitting layer includes: a display region including a hole portion filled with a color resist that transmits light; and a frame-shaped non-display region surrounding the display region. The frame-shaped non-display region has a slit formed in one side thereof, along the one side, the slit passing through the light non-transmitting layer. The slit is filled with a member made of the same material as a material of the color resist.
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
a TFT substrate comprising a pixel electrode;
a liquid crystal layer provided on the TFT substrate; and
a color filter substrate provided on the liquid crystal layer,
wherein the color filter substrate comprises a light non-transmitting layer made of a material that limits transmission of light,
wherein the light non-transmitting layer includes:
a display region including a hole portion filled with a color resist that transmits light; and
a frame-shaped non-display region surrounding the display region,
wherein the frame-shaped non-display region has a groove formed in one side thereof, along the one side, to a laterally interior side of a seal member, the groove passing through the light non-transmitting layer, and
wherein the groove is filled with a member made of the same material as a material of the color resist.
2. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the TFT substrate further comprises wiring connecting a transistor that controls a potential of the pixel electrode and a driver circuit that drive the transistor to each other, and
wherein the one side is opposed to a region of the TFT substrate in which the wiring is formed.
3. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the color resist that fills the hole portion of the display region comprises a blue color resist that transmits light and emits blue color, and
wherein the member that fills the groove comprises a portion made of the same material as a material of the blue color resist that emits blue color.
4. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the color resist that fills the hole portion of the display region comprises a plurality of color resists that transmit light and emit a plurality of kinds of colors including blue, respectively, and
wherein the member that fills the groove is formed by overlapping a plurality of kinds of color resists including the blue color resist that emits blue color.
5. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , wherein the driver circuit is a circuit that supplies a signal to a gate terminal of the transistor.
6. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the non-display region of the color filter is made of a light non-transmitting member, and
wherein a difference between a thickness of the member that fills the groove and a thickness of the color resist that fills the hole portion is equal to or less than a predetermined value.
7. The liquid crystal display device according to claim 1 , further comprising a layer of a color resist formed at a predetermined position of the display region, the layer of the color resist having the same structure as a structure of the color resist that fills the groove.
