Abstract

A liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present inventive concept includes a first substrate including a plurality of first color filters, a plurality of second color filters, a plurality of third color filters and a plurality of gate electrodes extending in a first direction; a second substrate facing the first substrate; and a liquid crystal layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the plurality of first color filters include a plurality of first portions extending in a first direction, and a plurality of second portions extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and crossing the plurality of first portions.

Claims (29)

1. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a first substrate including a plurality of thin film transistors, a blue color filter, a plurality of red color filters, a plurality of green color filters and a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction;

a second substrate facing the first substrate; and

a liquid crystal layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the blue color filter includes a plurality of first portions extending in the first direction, and a plurality of second portions extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and connected to the plurality of first portions in order to

form a plurality of openings,

wherein one of the plurality of red color filters and one of the plurality of green color filters are disposed in one opening of the plurality of openings,

wherein each of the plurality of openings has two different color filters therein,

wherein the plurality of first portions overlap the plurality of thin film transistors, and

wherein a region of the plurality of first portions overlapping the plurality of thin film transistors does not overlap any of the plurality of red color filters and the plurality of green color filters.

2. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first portions do not overlap the plurality of red color filters and the plurality of green color filters in the second direction in a plan view.

3. The liquid crystal display of claim 2 , further comprising an opaque material overlapping spaces formed between the plurality of first portions and the plurality of red color filters and spaces between the plurality of first portions and the plurality of green color filters.

4. The liquid crystal display of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of second portions of the blue color filter is not disposed between the plurality of red color filters and the plurality of green color filters.

5. A liquid crystal display comprising:

a first substrate including a blue color filter, a plurality of red color filters, and a plurality of green color filters;

a second substrate facing the first substrate;

a liquid crystal layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate;

a plurality of thin film transistors formed on the first substrate; and

an opaque material formed on the plurality of thin film transistors to overlap the plurality of thin film transistors,

wherein the blue color filter includes a plurality of first portions extending in a first direction, and a plurality of second portions extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction and connected to the plurality of first portions in order to

form a plurality of openings,

wherein one of the plurality of red filters and one of the plurality of green color filters are disposed in one opening of the plurality of openings,

wherein each of the plurality of openings has two different color filters therein,

wherein the plurality of first portions overlap the plurality of thin film transistors, and

wherein a region of the plurality of first portions overlapping the plurality of thin film transistors does not overlap any of the plurality of red color filters and the plurality of green color filters.

6. The liquid crystal display of claim 5 , wherein the opaque material is formed of aluminum (Al) or copper (Cu).

7. The liquid crystal display of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of first portions do not overlap the plurality of red color filters and the plurality of green color filters in the second direction in a plan view.

8. The liquid crystal display of claim 7 , wherein the opaque material overlaps spaces formed between the plurality of first portions and the plurality of red color filters, and spaces formed between the plurality of first portions and the plurality of green color filters.

9. The liquid crystal display of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of second portions of the blue color filter is not disposed between the plurality of red color filters and the plurality of green color filters.
