Abstract: A color filter (30) includes a black matrix (33), and the black matrix has a first antireflection layer (331) and a second antireflection layer (332) on the first antireflection layer. Each antireflection layer includes a first antireflection film (3311, 3321) having a first refraction index, and a second antireflection film (3312, 3322) having a second refraction index which is different to the first refraction index. Because of so-called destructive interference of outside source light beams reflected from various interfaces defined by the first and second antireflection films, net reflection of the light beams by the black matrix back to an outside of the color filter is minimal. For similar reasons, net reflection of internal source light beams by the black matrix back to an inside of the color filter is minimal. As a result, visibility of a liquid crystal display device (300) employing the color filter is improved.

Abstract: A structure of a light-shielding frame and a manufacturing method thereof for a liquid crystal display panel are described. The structure includes a thin film transistor array substrate having a display region and a frame region surrounding the display region, and at least one color layer formed in the frame region. The color layer prevents the ambient light from projecting onto the frame region and serves as the spacer so that the cell gap between the thin film transistor array substrate and an opposite substrate can be uniformly controlled. By further forming a planarization layer on the color layer, the cell gap between the thin film transistor array substrate and the opposite substrate can be much more uniformly controlled.

Abstract: A color filter and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The color filter includes a polarizer matrix (202), which is patterned in accordance with the pixel arrangement of a liquid crystal display device. The polarizer matrix (202) is made of a thin crystal film material, which may linearly polarize incident light along one direction. By incorporating with a polarizer film (206), the polarizer matrix (202) becomes an effective black matrix. A thinner black matrix may thus be produced, and the manufacturing processes of the color filter are simplified.

Pixel electrodes and common electrodes are formed above the color filter layer. Since no thick color filter layer is formed between a liquid crystal layer and the pixel electrodes/common electrodes, driving voltage for the liquid crystal display is lowered and the quantity of trapped electric charges is reduced.
