  • Patent number: 8552944
    Abstract: A pixel structure on a display panel comprises three sub-pixels where each sub-pixel can be arranged to a first transmissive region and a second transmissive region. The first transmissive region has a first transistor along with a first photo-resistant layer as well as the second transmissive region has a second transistor along with a second photo-resistant layer. The first photo-resistant layer and the second photo-resistant layer of different thickness or area are formed on a color filter. There exists a function relation between data signals received from the first transistor and the second transistor. Using these two data signals and combining the photo-resistant layers of different thickness or area will make each sub-pixel generate new level of brightness in gray scale and increase the number of displaying colors.

  • Publication number: 20070171339
    Abstract: An LCD substrate is used to prevent polyimide from unevenly distributing during heat and leveling processes. A portion of dielectric layers on data lines in transmissive regions is removed to form channels, which penetrate the dielectric layers between two adjacent transmissive regions. In other words, dielectric layer has a second thickness corresponding to the channels. Polyimide is distributed to all of transmissive regions evenly via these channels. There is a wall having a fifth thickness between a transmissive region and accordingly neighboring with reflective region to prevent polyimide distributing from the reflective region to the transmissive region because of the different thickness of the dielectric layer in the transmissive regions and the reflective regions. Thereof polyimide distributes evenly among transmissive regions and reflective regions to form a uniform alignment film because of these channels and walls.
