Patents by Inventor Soo Mahn Kim

Soo Mahn Kim has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Liquid crystal display device with an ink-jet color filter and process for fabricating the same
    Patent number: 6909477
    Abstract: Barrier lines are formed on a substrate to define column areas between adjacent barrier lines. A color filter is then formed using continuous ink ejection in at least one of the column areas.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 28, 2000
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2005
    Assignee: LG. Philips LCD Co., LTD
    Inventors: Jong Hoon Yi, Jeong Hyun Kim, Sang Hun Oh, Soo Mahn Kim, Sang Gul Lee
  • Array substrate for a liquid crystal display device and method for fabricating the same
    Patent number: 6577367
    Abstract: A method of fabricating LCD devices from large array substrates having redundant pixels. Large array substrates without defects can be used to fabricate large LCD device and the redundant pixels can be disabled. Large array substrates with defects can be cut into smaller array substrates and then used to form small LCD devices. The pixels around the cutting lines of the large array substrate are redundant and can be covered or disabled.

  • Method of fabricating TFT array substrate
    Patent number: 5926702
    Abstract: An LCD includes a substrate; a transistor over the substrate, the transistor having a gate, a source, and a drain; a light shielding layer over the transistor; a transparent insulating layer at sides of the light shielding layer, the transparent insulating layer having a substantially consistent thickness; and a pixel electrode connected to one of the source and the drain of the transistor.
