Abstract
Disclosed are a liquid crystal display device and a method for fabricating the liquid crystal display device. A displayed image can or cannot be seen depending on an observation angle or observation point by using a reflection electrode (330), which has a reflection structure for changing a reflection factor depending on an observation angle, so that the image can be displayed through at least two different viewing angles in a LCD.
Claims15
A liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a first substrate including
- (i) a plurality of thin film transistors arranged in a matrix shape;
- (ii) an organic insulating layer insulating said thin film transistors from each other, said organic insulating layer having a contact hole exposing an output of each of said thin film transistors and a projection that has at least one irregular reflection surface to selectively control light reflection;
- and
- (iii) a first electrode formed on said organic insulating layer, said first electrode having a portion that is connected with said output so as to receive a first electric power, and said first electrode having a rest portion that covers said projection to have various reflection factors depending on an observation angle and formed in a matrix shape;
- a second substrate including i) a color filter disposed opposite to said first electrode and ii) a second electrode covering said color filter;
- and
- a liquid crystal interposed between said first substrate and said second substrate.
