  • Publication number: 20090251631
    Abstract: A display device that is divided into a plurality of pixel regions including first, second, and third pixel regions includes a first color filter occupying the first pixel region and a second color filter occupying the second pixel region, which neighbors the first pixel region, and overlapping the first color filter. The first color filter is disposed on the second color filter in the overlapping region of the first color filter and the second color filter, and a central line of the overlapping region deviates from the boundary line between the first pixel region and the second pixel region.

  • Publication number: 20090190054
    Abstract: A display substrate includes a plurality of transistors, a plurality of color filters, a plurality of pixel electrodes, a plurality of supporting members, and a plurality of filling members. The transistors are connected to a plurality of gate lines extending in a first direction on a base substrate and a plurality of data lines extending in a second direction crossing the first direction. The color filters are disposed over the transistors, and have a plurality of holes. The pixel electrodes are disposed on the color filters, and electrically connect to the transistors. The supporting members are disposed on the color filters, and maintain a gap between the base substrate and a substrate opposing the base substrate. The filling members are comprised of the same material as the supporting members, and fill the holes.

  • Publication number: 20070181877
    Abstract: A thin film transistor substrate, wherein the moving area of electrons between source and drain electrodes of a thin film transistor (TFT) is minimized, the moving distance of electrons is increased, and the sizes of capacitors defined by a gate electrode together with the respective source and drain electrodes are identical to each other so that an off current generated when the TFT is off can be minimized; a method of manufacturing the thin film transistor substrate; and a mask for manufacturing the thin film transistor substrate. Accordingly, it is possible to minimize an off current induced due to a phenomenon of electron trapping by light.
