  • Publication number: 20080231681
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a color filter is provided. First, a substrate is provided and then a partition, for example a black matrix, is formed on the substrate. The black matrix defines a plurality of first color filter areas and a plurality of second color filter areas corresponding to the first color filter areas on the substrate. Thereafter, a first color filter film and a second color filter film are formed in each of the first color filter areas and each of the second color filter areas corresponding thereto, respectively, such that a color filter is provided. The thickness of the first color filter film differs from the thickness of the second color filter film. Thus, images displayed by a transflective liquid crystal display with the aforementioned color filter have even colors.

  • Publication number: 20080220343
    Abstract: An ink composition for producing a color filter is provided. The ink composition comprises a colorant, a binder and plural solvents. A color filter production method using the above-mentioned ink composition is also provided. The ink composition is adhered to the designated light transmitting regions on the surface of a transparent substrate. Then, the ink composition adhered to the designated light transmitting regions is solidified.

  • Publication number: 20080158703
    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: 20080107834
    Abstract: The invention provides a color filter substrate and a method for manufacturing the same, including a substrate, a plurality of color filters, and a plurality of banks. The banks separate the color filters, and the angle between the sidewall and the substrate is about 60° to 90°. The banks of the invention efficiently prevent cross-contamination of color materials, thereby improving the resolution of an LCD panel.

  • Publication number: 20080055531
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display and a method for fabricating the same are provided. The liquid crystal display has a thin-film transistor (TFT) array substrate, a color filter substrate with a plurality of bumps, and a liquid crystal layer sealed between the TFT array substrate and the color filter substrate. When the sealing process is performed, the bumps are pressed and deformed so that the contact area between the bumps and the TFT array substrate increases.

  • Patent number: 6716680
    Abstract: A method of forming a TFT-LCD device with a rough pixel electrode is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps. First, a photosensitive layer is formed on the transparent insulating substrate. A defocused exposing procedure is then performed by applying a mask with plural independent spot patterns and a contact hole pattern to define patterns on the photosensitive layer. Notedly the distance between two adjacent independent spot patterns is smaller than the resolution of exposure system. Thus the area of photosensitive layer corresponding to independent spot patterns is exposed incompletely. Then the photosensitive layer is developed to remove partial photosensitive layer to form wave-like surfaces thereon. Next a pixel electrode is formed on the photosensitive layer to have rising and falling surfaces with the photosensitive layer to serve as a rough diffuser member.
