Liquid crystal display, panel therefor, and manufacturing method thereof

A liquid crystal display comprising:

• a first substrate;
• a gate line and a data line disposed on the first substrate;
• a thin film transistor connected to the gate line and the data line;
• a pixel electrode connected to the thin film transistor;
• a second substrate facing the first substrate;
• a light blocking member disposed on the second substrate and defining a plurality of openings;
• a color filter disposed in the openings and having a substantially uniform thickness within each respective opening;
• a common electrode disposed on the color filter;
• and
• a spacer disposed on the light blocking member,
• wherein
• the color filter and the spacer are formed through inkjet printing, and
• the color filter has the substantially uniform thickness by the light blocking member having a height greater than the thickness of the color filter during the inkjet printing.

• and
• a common electrode disposed on the color filter,
• wherein the color filter has the substantially uniform thickness by the light blocking member having a height in a range of about 1.5 to about 2 times the thickness of the color filter during a forming of the color filter.

A method for manufacturing a display panel for liquid crystal display, the method comprising:

• providing a substrate;
• forming a light blocking member on the substrate, the light blocking member having a height;
• forming a color filter having a substantially uniform thickness in a region defined by the light blocking member, the color filter formed through an inkjet printing method;
• and
• forming a spacer on the light blocking member through the inkjet printing method,
• wherein the color filter has the substantially uniform thickness by the height of the light blocking member being larger than the thickness of the color filter during the inkjet printing method.
