  • Patent number: 8027011
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to form spacers for defining the space between the TFT substrate and the facing substrate of color filters, and by doing so, finely control the height of the spacers. First spacers 10 are formed of green color filters G in pillar form on top of red color filters R and blue color filters B (green color filters G) having a large area between blue pixels BP; second spacers 20 are formed by layering blue color filters B (green color filters G) and green color filters G having a large area on top of red color filters R in pillar form between green pixels GP; and the second spacers 20 are shorter than the first spacers 10 due to the leveling effects of the layered blue color filters B (green color filters G) and green color filters G.

  • Publication number: 20110205474
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a TFT substrate, a facing substrate and liquid crystal sandwiched therebetween. First pixels for displaying a first color according to a first color filter, second pixels for displaying a second color according a second color filter and third pixels for displaying a third color according to a third color filter are aligned in a longitudinal direction on the facing substrate, respectively. The first color filters, the second color filters, and the third color filters extend in stripes in the longitudinal direction so as to cover the first, second and third pixels, respectively. First spacers are formed between the first pixels by layering a number of color filters, including the first color filters, and second spacers are formed of a number of color filters, including the second color filters, between the second pixels. The first color filters which are formed between the second pixels are circular in plan view.

  • Publication number: 20110042675
    Abstract: An etching resist including first and second portions, the first portion being thicker than the second portion, is formed on a metallic layer. Through the etching resist, a semiconductor layer and the metallic layer are patterned by etching so as to form a wiring from the metallic layer and leave the semiconductor layer under the wiring. An electrical test is conducted on the wiring. The second portion is removed while the first portion is left unremoved. Selective etching is performed through the first portion so as to leave the semiconductor layer unetched to pattern the wiring to be divided into drain and source electrodes. A substrate is cut. In patterning the wiring, the wiring is etched to be cut at a position closer to a cutting line of the substrate with respect to the drain and source electrodes, while leaving the semiconductor layer unetched.

  • Publication number: 20100328588
    Abstract: A panel for a liquid crystal display device includes: a first mother substrate for cutting out color filter substrates including a first cell area corresponding to a first cell and a second cell area corresponding to a second cell therefrom; a first colored layer arranged in the first cell area of the first mother substrate; a second colored layer arranged in the second cell area of the first mother substrate; a second mother substrate for cutting out array substrates therefrom; and liquid crystal sandwiched between the first mother substrate and the second mother substrate. The first colored layer and the second colored layer are made of the same material and have portions which have the same thickness. A hole is formed in the second colored layer so as to make color reproducibility of the second colored layer lower than color reproducibility of the first colored layer.

  • Publication number: 20060259490
    Abstract: A multifunction device transmits an acquisition request including a user ID read from an IC card by a card reader to acquire data identifying a conference to which a user belongs from an information management server; automatically produces attribute information including a scanner ID, a time when the scanning was performed, and a location; and adds the information to a scanned document to register the information in a scanned document management server. An information terminal device transmits an acquisition request including a user ID read from an IC card by a card reader to acquire from an information management server information such as a conference to which the user belongs, a conference member, and a conference place. Moreover, the acquired information is compared with attribute information of each scanned document registered in the scanned document management server to select the scanned document to be downloaded onto the information terminal device.
