  • Patent number: 8034517
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a color filter comprising the following steps is provided. At first, a transparent substrate is provided. Next, a black matrix is formed on the transparent substrate to define a plurality of pixel areas on the transparent substrate. Then, an isolation layer is formed and patterned on the black matrix and then Red/Green/Blue color filter inks are filled into each of the pixel areas separately by inkjet printing. After that, the color filter inks are dried to form color filter units and optionally the isolation layer can further be patterned to form plenty of photo spacers on the black matrix. The isolation layers prevented the color filter inks from spilling out of the pixel areas and color mixing problems during color filter inkjet fabrication. Besides, it is characterized that the color filter units can be formed with even thickness.

  • Publication number: 20090042113
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a filter is provided. The manufacturing method includes steps as follows. First, a substrate is provided and a black matrix is formed on the substrate. The black matrix has a number of openings arranged in array. Next, a filter material is individually formed in the openings by inkjet printing or other methods, and the filter material includes a solvent and a dye mixed with the solvent. Thereafter, a thermal treatment is performed and an evaporation rate of the solvent during the thermal treatment is reduced, so as to cure the filter material. As the evaporation rate of the solvent is relatively slow, the filter material is still flowable during the thermal treatment. Hence, the cured filter material has a flat surface. The filter fabricated by the above manufacturing method has an even hue and a well flattened surface.
