Abstract

A color filter substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display panel are disclosed. The color filter substrate includes a substrate, a black matrix layer, a first filler, and a positioning mark. The black matrix layer is arranged on the substrate, and a groove is defined in the black matrix layer and arranged around a display area of the substrate. The filler is arranged inside the groove. The positioning mark is arranged inside the groove, and has a different color from that of the first filler.

Claims (23)

1. A color filter substrate, comprising:

a substrate, comprising a display area and a non-display area, the non-display area surrounding the display area;

a black matrix layer, arranged on the substrate, wherein a groove is defined in the black matrix layer and is arranged around the display area;

a first filler, disposed inside the groove; and

a positioning mark, arranged inside the groove and having a different color than that of the first filler, and configured for a positioning purpose in a manufacturing process of the color filter substrate;

wherein the positioning mark is a red color filter, the first filler is a green color filter, and wherein the green color filter is arranged around the red color filter.

2. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 1 , wherein the positioning mark comprises a rectangle, and has a length dimension of 20-100 microns and a width dimension of 20-100 microns.

3. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 1 , wherein the positioning mark is in the shape of an annular square, and a second filler is disposed in a center of the positioning mark and surrounded by the positioning mark, and wherein the second filler has a different color than that of the positioning mark.

4. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 3 , wherein the second filler has a same color as the first filler, and the second filler and the first filler are formed simultaneously.

5. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 1 , wherein there are arranged four positioning marks, the groove has a shape of a rectangle, and wherein the four positioning marks are respectively disposed at four corners inside the groove.

6. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 5 , wherein two sides of each of the four positioning marks respectively coincide with two sides of the groove.

7. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 1 , wherein there are arranged four positioning marks, the groove has a shape of a rectangle, and wherein the four positioning marks are respectively disposed in four middle positions of four sides of the groove.

8. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 1 , wherein the positioning mark is a cross-shaped structure.

9. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 1 , wherein there are arranged eight positioning marks, the groove has a shape of a rectangle, and wherein the eight positioning marks are respectively disposed at four corners inside the groove and at four middle positions of four sides of the groove.

10. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 1 , wherein contact interfaces made by the positioning mark, the first filler, and the groove with a sealant are non-planar microstructures, and wherein the first filler and the groove are arranged to have different heights.

11. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 1 , wherein the groove is a blind groove.

12. The color filter substrate as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first filler is made of aluminum oxide ceramic, calcium oxide ceramic, or opaque silicon oxide, and wherein the positioning mark is of a metal material.

13. A color filter substrate, comprising:

a substrate, comprising a display area and a non-display area, the non-display area surrounding the display area;

a black matrix layer, arranged on the substrate, wherein a groove is defined in the black matrix layer and is arranged around the display area;

a first filler, disposed inside the groove; and

a positioning mark, arranged inside the groove and having a different color than that of the first filler, and configured for a positioning purpose in a manufacturing process of the color filter substrate;

wherein the first filler is made of aluminum oxide ceramic, calcium oxide ceramic, or opaque silicon oxide, and wherein the positioning mark is of a metal material.
