  • Patent number: 7605886
    Abstract: A thin film transistor array substrate is provided with a gate line assembly, a data line assembly, and thin film transistors. The data line assembly crosses over the gate line assembly while defining pixel regions. A pixel electrode is formed at each pixel region. A color filter substrate is provided with a black matrix, and color filters of red, green and blue are formed at the black matrix at the pixel regions. An overcoat layer covers the color filters, and a common electrode is formed on the overcoat layer with an opening pattern. The thin film transistor array substrate, and the color filter substrates face each other, and a liquid crystal material is injected between the thin film transistor array substrate, and the color filter substrate. The blue color filter has a thickness smaller than the red color filter or the green color filter such that the liquid crystal cell gap at the blue color filter is larger than the liquid crystal cell gap at the red or green color filter.

  • Publication number: 20090071539
    Abstract: Disclosed are a solar cell manufactured using a composite thin film comprising amorphous silicon and nanocrystalline silicon, a method of manufacturing the solar cell, and a composition for the composite thin film used in manufacturing the solar cell. More particularly, a silicon semiconductor layer in the solar cell is fabricated by using the composite thin film comprising the amorphous silicon and the nanocrystalline silicon, the composite thin film being formed by dispersing nanoparticles of the crystalline silicon in a liquid silicon precursor and modifying them. The solar cell of the present invention is manufactured by dispersing the crystalline silicon nanoparticles in the liquid silicon precursor, coating the dispersion on a substrate or printing the substrate with the dispersion, and heating the coated or printed substrate to modify the liquid silicon precursor into the amorphous silicon.

  • Patent number: 7154575
    Abstract: In a method of fabricating a thin film transistor array substrate, a black matrix with horizontal and vertical portions is first formed on a substrate with an opaque conductive material. A gate line assembly is formed on the black matrix, and buffer layers are formed between the separate portions of the black matrix. A gate insulating layer, a semiconductor layer, and an ohmic contact layer are sequentially deposited onto the substrate. And a data line assembly is formed on the ohmic contact layer. The ohmic contact layer exposed through the data line assembly is etched, and a protective layer is deposited onto the substrate. The protective layer, the gate insulating layer, and the semiconductor layer are patterned to form contact holes and opening portions exposing the insulating layer at pixel areas. The peripheral portions of the black matrix are also exposed through the opening portions.
