  • Patent number: 7746441
    Abstract: To improve reliability of a liquid crystal display apparatus using an upper substrate, the upper substrate to be combined with a lower substrate includes a transparent electrode and a first spacer. The lower substrate includes a display region and a driving region surrounding the display region to provide a drive signal to the display region. A liquid crystal layer is interposed between the upper substrate and the lower substrate. The first spacer is formed on the transparent electrode corresponding to the driving region to protect the driving region. The first spacer is disposed such that a rubbing having a rubbing direction of the upper substrate does not end at the first spacer. Thus, a corner white phenomenon that is caused by impurities stacked at a side portion of the first spacer may be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20090162958
    Abstract: An array substrate includes a transparent substrate, an organic insulation layer, a pixel electrode, a reflective layer, a light blocking pattern and a switching part. The transparent substrate includes a reflective window that reflects an ambient light and a transmissive window that transmits an artificial light. The organic insulation layer disposed over the transparent substrate becomes thinner gradually at a boundary between the transmissive window and the reflective window. The pixel electrode is formed in the transmissive region. The reflective layer is disposed over the organic insulation layer of the reflective window. The light blocking pattern is disposed at the boundary between the transmissive and reflective windows to prevent a light leakage. The switching part is electrically connected to the pixel electrode to apply an image signal to the pixel electrode. Therefore, a light leakage occurring at boundary is prevented by the light blocking pattern.

  • Patent number: 7379129
    Abstract: An LCD apparatus includes first and second substrates, and a liquid crystal layer. The first substrate includes a main region having switching device and first electrodes, and a sub region having a second electrode. The switching device applies a data signal to the first electrodes in response to a gate signal applied to the second electrodes. The sub region is disposed at a circumference of the main region. The second substrate includes a third electrode that faces the first and second electrodes. A reference signal that has a different magnitude from the gate signal is applied to the third electrode. The liquid crystal layer is interposed between the first and second substrates. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a bright line surrounds main region through which images are displayed. Thus, the bright line brings out the images. That is, the images are better defined.

  • Patent number: 7372528
    Abstract: An array substrate includes a transparent substrate, pixel electrodes, switching devices, a data line, a gate line and a light blocking pattern. The light blocking pattern corresponding to a storage electrode is disposed on the transparent substrate, and the light blocking pattern blocks a light leaked from a space between the pixel electrodes. The pixel electrodes are spaced apart from the light blocking pattern by a first distance. The data line is spaced apart from the light blocking pattern by a second distance, and the data line is disposed under a region between the pixel electrodes. The data line is electrically connected to the source electrode, and the data line has a first width. The gate line is electrically connected to the gate electrode to turn on/off the switching devices. Therefore, a black matrix is not required, thereby enhancing an aperture ratio.
