Abstract

The electronic device includes a first substrate, a second substrate, a first support member, a planarization layer, and an alignment layer. The second substrate is opposite to the first substrate. The first support member is disposed in the peripheral region and located between the first substrate and the second substrate. The planarization layer is disposed on the first substrate and has a first portion and an opening. The first portion is disposed between the opening, and the first support member and the first portion are overlapped in a normal direction of the first substrate. The alignment layer is disposed on the planarization layer. The alignment layer on the first portion has a first thickness. The alignment layer in the opening has a second thickness. The first thickness is greater than or equal to zero and less than the second thickness.

Claims (27)

1. An electronic device, including a peripheral region, the electronic device comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate, disposed opposite to the first substrate;

an active device disposed on the first substrate and comprising a gate;

a conductive layer disposed on the first substrate;

a support member, disposed in the peripheral region and between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the support member overlaps the conductive layer and the conductive layer is a same layer of the gate of the active device;

an overcoat layer disposed between the second substrate and the support member;

an alignment layer disposed between the first substrate and the overcoat layer and surrounding the support member; and

a light-shielding layer disposed between the second substrate and the overcoat layer,

wherein the light-shielding layer has a groove in the peripheral region and the overcoat layer fills into the groove, and

wherein the alignment layer and the support member are in contact with the overcoat layer.

2. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the groove is not overlapped with the support member.

3. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an insulating layer disposed between the first substrate and the support member.

4. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising another alignment layer between the insulating layer and the support member.

5. The electronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the active device is disposed in the peripheral region.

6. The electronic device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the active device is used as a gate on array.

7. The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a package element disposed between the second substrate and the first substrate, wherein the groove is not overlapped with the package element.

8. An electronic device, including a peripheral region, the electronic device comprising:

a first substrate;

a second substrate, disposed opposite to the first substrate;

a support member, disposed in the peripheral region and between the first substrate and the second substrate;

an overcoat layer disposed between the second substrate and the support member;

an alignment layer disposed between the first substrate and the overcoat layer and surrounding the support member;

a light-shielding layer disposed between the second substrate and the overcoat layer; and

a planarization layer disposed on the first substrate and having two adjacent openings and a first portion disposed between the two adjacent openings, wherein the support member and the first portion are overlapped,

wherein the light-shielding layer has a groove in the peripheral region and the overcoat layer fills into the groove, and

wherein the alignment layer and the support member are in contact with the overcoat layer.
