    Abstract: A method produces a liquid crystal display. The display includes a plurality of pixels having sub-pixels that include one opening and one color layer. Some of the sub-pixels having the same color are continuously spaced in one direction. In the method, overlapping photolithographic patterns produce mask openings in which a color layer in two spaced adjacent sub-pixels is to be formed. The mask openings each have a size corresponding to two or more adjacent sub-pixels; and the number of sub-pixels of the same color that are continuously arranged in the one direction is at least twice the total number of sub-pixels of the same color included in each of the pixels.

  • Publication number: 20170061912
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, each pixel includes first and second subpixels. CS bus lines connected to the respective storage capacitors of the first and second subpixels are electrically independent of each other. A CS voltage has a waveform that inverts its polarity at least once a frame, which includes a first subframe for sequentially scanning a series of odd rows and a second SF for sequentially scanning even rows that have been skipped during the first SF. A source signal voltage varies so as to have two frames or subframes with mutually opposite polarities. A CS voltage has a waveform that has quite opposite consequences on the effective voltage of a subpixel of a pixel connected to the jth scan line to be selected during the first subframe and on that of another subpixel of a pixel connected to the (j+1)th scan line to be selected during the second subframe.

  • Publication number: 20160109751
    Abstract: Provided are a color filter capable of improving an aperture ratio of a BM, a liquid crystal display apparatus, and a method of manufacturing the color filter. For an R layer disposed in an opening, a right exposure part and a left exposure part of a G layer disposed in an opening adjacent to a right side of the opening are patterned by exposing using an alignment mark. Briefly, portions of the RGB layers facing each other in a horizontal direction, which are respectively to be disposed in two openings adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction, may be patterned by exposing using the same alignment mark. As a result, unnecessarily close arrangement or separated arrangement of the RGB layers caused by referring to the different alignment marks does not occur. Consequently, there is no need to increase a BM between the RGB layers in the horizontal direction. Therefore, an aperture ratio of the BM is improved.
