  • Patent number: 10921635
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a display substrate, including a base substrate, and a black matrix pattern and a color filter pattern on the base substrate. The black matrix pattern defines one or more display regions of the display substrate and a non-display region surrounding the one or more display regions. The color filter pattern includes a plurality of color filter sub-patterns, each color filter sub-pattern includes a plurality of color filter units, and each color filter unit includes a body portion. At least one of the color filter units further includes an anchoring portion extending from the body portion, and in a direction perpendicular to an extension direction of the body portion, the anchoring portion has a size greater than the body portion. The present disclosure further provides a method for manufacturing the display substrate, a display device and a mask.

  • Publication number: 20200278579
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a color filter substrate, a manufacturing method thereof, and a display device. The color filter substrate includes a substrate, color blocks, and light shielding portions positioned on the substrate. The color blocks and the light shielding portions are alternately arranged along a first direction. A size of the light shielding portions along the first direction depends on a sensitivity of human eyes to a mixture of colors, which are different, of the color blocks on both sides of each of the light shielding portions.
