US 2016/0252771 A1 · LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY

Abstract

A liquid crystal display includes a display area (DA) in which an image is displayed and a peripheral area (PA) disposed in a vicinity of the DA, a first substrate disposed in the PA and a second substrate facing the first substrate, at least one column spacer part disposed on the first substrate, a light blocking member disposed on the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a seal formed at circumferences of the first and second substrates, the seal coupling the first substrate and the second substrate to each other and confining the liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the light blocking member includes at least one dam formed therein, the at least one dam being disposed in the PA and including at least one opening part formed therein.

Dependent claims

A liquid crystal display comprising:

a display area (DA) in which an image is displayed and a peripheral area (PA) disposed in a vicinity of the DA;
a first substrate disposed in the PA and a second substrate facing the first substrate;
at least one column spacer part disposed on the first substrate;
a light blocking member disposed on the first substrate;
a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate;
and
a seal formed at circumferences of the first and second substrates, the seal coupling the first substrate and the second substrate to each other and confining the liquid crystal layer between the first substrate and the second substrate,
wherein the light blocking member
includes at least one dam formed therein,
the at least one dam being positioned in the PA and including at least one opening part formed therein, the at least one opening part serving as an inlet through which liquid crystal of the liquid crystal layer is spread.

A liquid crystal display, comprising:

a display area (DA) for displaying an image and a peripheral area (PA) disposed in a vicinity of the PA;
a first substrate disposed in the PA, and a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate;
a liquid crystal layer formed between the first and second substrates;
a light blocking member disposed on the first substrate;
a column spacer part disposed on the first substrate and formed integrally with the light blocking member;
and
a seal formed at outer perimeters of the first and second substrates, the seal fixing the first and second substrates to each other and sealing the liquid crystal layer between the first and second substrates,
wherein the light blocking member includes at least one dam having at least one opening, and
wherein a first upper surface of the light blocking member is formed at a first elevation, with respect to the first substrate, on a first portion of the first substrate corresponding to the at least one dam but not corresponding to the at least one opening of the at least one dam, wherein a second upper surface of the light blocking member is formed at a second elevation, with respect to the first substrate, on a second portion of the first substrate corresponding to the at least one opening of the at least one dam, and wherein the first elevation is higher than the second elevation.
