  • Patent number: 9857621
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display with a high transmittance and a low power consumption rate, includes first and second transmittable substrates, a plurality of gate and data bus lines formed on the first substrate, a plurality of color filters formed on the second substrate, and a plurality of microlenses formed on the first or second substrate corresponding to the gate and data bus lines. The microlenses are formed at positions corresponding to the gate and data bus lines which block incident lights, so that most incident lights can be transmitted. Further, the transmittance can be greatly improved by forming the microlenses at the positions corresponding to storage capacitor lines as well as the gate and data bus lines.

  • Patent number: 7455940
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a color filter array substrate includes forming a black matrix on a substrate, depositing a color resist on the substrate and the black matrix, and patterning the color resist to form a color filter layer. The color resist has a boiling point in a range of about 70 to 80 degrees Celsius and has a viscosity in a range of about 3 to 5 centipoise and has a solid particle content below or equal to about 20 percent.

  • Patent number: 7277142
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a color filter substrate of an LCD is disclosed. By forming the color filter layer from a hydrophobic material, a fluid black matrix material deposited on the surface of the substrate including the color filter layer flows from the surface of the color filter layer and accumulates between sub-color filters of the color filter layer. The black matrix material is then hardened, permitting the black matrix to be formed between the sub-color filters but not on the color filter layer. Accordingly, the number of mask processes for forming a black matrix is reduced. Further, since the black matrix is only disposed between the sub-color filters, an overcoat layer to eliminate the step difference due to the color filters need not be formed.

  • Patent number: 5851411
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a display, which includes first and second substrates, each having an inner light shielding region and an edge light shielding region, includes the steps of defining the edge light shielding region into a first portion and a second portion, and defining an area of the first substrate. The area includes the first portion of the edge light shielding region. The area including the first portion of the edge light shielding region is removed and leaves the second portion of the edge light shielding region. The first and second substrates are combined at the second portion of the edge light shielding region.

  • Patent number: 5844644
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display with in-plane switching mode for improving its light transmittance, includes a first substrate that forms light transmissive portions and light untransmissive portions, a second substrate, and liquid crystal injected between the first and second substrates. The second substrate includes a black matrix, a color filter layer, an overcoat layer and an alignment film. The overcoat layer is patterned to form micro-lenses for refracting the incident light to pass through the light transmissive portions without being blocked by the light untransmissive portions. Various patterning methods can be selected to form the micro-lenses.
