Abstract

A color filter substrate which includes: a substrate having a surface; a light-shielding layer disposed on the surface; a first color filter layer; and a second color filter layer disposed over the substrate, the second color filter layer covers the light-shielding layer and the first color filter layer and has a second main body on the surface, the light-shielding layer is located between the first color filter layer and the second color filter layer, at least a part of the first main body has a first thickness and at least a part of the second main body has a second thickness, and the first thickness is less than the second thickness.

Claims (31)

1. A color filter substrate, comprising:

a substrate having a surface;

a light-shielding layer disposed on the surface;

a first color filter layer disposed over the substrate, wherein the first color filter layer covers the light-shielding layer and has a first main body on the surface;

a second color filter layer disposed over the substrate, wherein the second color filter layer covers the light-shielding layer and the first color filter layer and has a second main body on the surface; and

a planarization layer disposed over the first color filter layer and the second color filter layer,

wherein the light-shielding layer is located between the first color filter layer and the second color filter layer, at least a part of the first main body has a first thickness and at least a part of the second main body has a second thickness, the first thickness is less than the second thickness, and

wherein the planarization layer has a first area on the first main body, the first area has a third thickness, the planarization layer has a second area on the second main body, the second area has a fourth thickness, the planarization layer further has a third area on an overlapping portion of the first color filter layer and an overlapping portion of the second color filter layer, the fourth thickness is less than the third thickness, and a thickness of the third area is less than the fourth thickness.

2. The color filter substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first main body and the second main body are in direct contact with the surface.

3. The color filter substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first color filter layer has a first extension portion on the light-shielding layer, and the part of the first main body is adjacent to the first extension portion.

4. The color filter substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second color filter layer has a second extension portion on the light-shielding layer, and the part of the second main body is adjacent to the second extension portion.

5. The color filter substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the light-shielding layer is located between the first main body and the second main body.

6. The color filter substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an interface between the overlapping portion of the second color filter layer and the overlapping portion of the first color filter layer has a slope greater than zero relative to the surface, and the second color filter layer is located at a left side of the light-shielding layer.

7. The color filter substrate as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an interface between the overlapping portion of the second color filter layer and the overlapping portion of the first color filter layer has a slope less than zero relative to the surface, and the second color filter layer is located at a right side of the light-shielding layer.

8. A display panel, comprising:

a color filter substrate, comprising:

a substrate having a surface;

a light-shielding layer disposed on the surface;

a first color filter layer disposed over the substrate, wherein the first color filter layer covers the light-shielding layer and has a first main body on the surface;

a second color filter layer disposed over the substrate, wherein the second color filter layer covers the light-shielding layer and the first color filter layer and has a second main body on the surface; and

a planarization layer disposed over the first color filter layer and the second color filter layer,

wherein the light-shielding layer is located between the first color filter layer and the second color filter layer, at least a part of the first main body has a first thickness and at least a part of the second main body has a second thickness, and the first thickness is less than the second thickness, and

wherein the planarization layer has a first area on the first main body, the first area has a third thickness, the planarization layer has a second area on the second main body, the second area has a fourth thickness, the planarization layer further has a third area on an overlapping portion of the first color filter layer and an overlapping portion of the second color filter layer, the fourth thickness is less than the third thickness and a thickness of the third area is less than the fourth thickness; and

an opposite substrate disposed opposite to the color filter substrate; and

a display medium located between the color filter substrate and the opposite substrate.

9. The display panel as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first main body and the second main body are in direct contact with the surface.

10. The display panel as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the first color filter layer has a first extension portion on the light-shielding layer, and the part of the first main body is adjacent to the first extension portion.

11. The display panel as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the second color filter layer has a second extension portion on the light-shielding layer, and the part of the second main body is adjacent to the second extension portion.

12. The display panel as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the light-shielding layer is located between the first main body and the second main body.

13. The display panel as claimed in claim 8 , wherein an interface between the overlapping portion of the second color filter layer and the overlapping portion of the first color filter layer has a slope greater than zero relative to the surface, and the second color filter layer is located at a left side of the light-shielding layer.

14. The display panel as claimed in claim 8 , wherein an interface between the overlapping portion of the second color filter layer and the overlapping portion of the first color filter layer has a slope less than zero relative to the surface, and the second color filter layer is located at a right side of the light-shielding layer.
