  • Patent number: 6788363
    Abstract: A reflector structure in a multi-domain liquid crystal display comprises an active matrix device structure having regions of various height levels, a diffusing layer, and a structure of multi-domain reflective layer. The diffusing layer is formed above the active matrix device structure with multiple extruded bumps of various film thickness and various heights and shapes. The reflector structure has various reflective angles and reflective effects to improve the quality of LCD panel. It can be used in the reflective layer of a reflective or semi-reflective TN, STN, TFT, or TFD. The reflector fabrication process uses conventional process for a metal or an insulation layer on a TFT substrate to form multiple domains within a pixel area. After forming the cell structure of the multi-domain reflective layer, liquid crystal cells form multiple domains within a pixel area.

  • Publication number: 20040145811
    Abstract: An optical-interference type reflective panel and a method for making the same are disclosed, wherein the display panel has a substrate on which multiple supporting layers are firstly formed. Then, a plurality of first conductive optical film stacks, spacing layers and multiple second conductive optical film stacks are sequentially formed on the substrate. Finally, once the spacing layers are removed, optical-interference regulators are formed. Since said supporting layers forming step is prior to the first conductive optical film stacks, a precise back-side exposing step is not necessary so that the making procedure of the panel is simplified.

  • Publication number: 20040090575
    Abstract: The method for fabricating reflector plate for a reflective liquid crystal display and the device is disclosed. The present invention includes the formation of a protection layer over the glass substrate having thin film transistors and a layer of transparent electrodes on top, followed by the formation of a layer of undulating resin over the protection layer. If the reflector plate to be produced is a semi-transmissive type, a light-transmitting region is created over the protection layer. Since the protection layer is created in advance of the undulating resin outgrowth, the present method can effectively prevent reflection from the exposure stage during the lithography process, thus the problem of abnormal pattern marks occurring on the reflective surface can be avoided, and the exposure time and the production yield are enhanced.
