Abstract
A device is display device is disclosed, which may include a color-filter layer and a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer. The TFT layer may have an alignment layer. The display device may have spacers, between the color-filter layer and the TFT layer, that form space between the color-filter layer and the TFT layer for liquid crystals. The display device may include a scratch-resistant coating on the alignment layer of the TFT layer.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a display including:
- a color-filter layer;
- a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer having an alignment layer;
- spacers between the color-filter layer and the TFT layer that form space between the color-filter layer and the TFT layer for liquid crystals;
- and
- a scratch-resistant coating on the alignment layer.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- preparing a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer having an alignment layer;
- preparing a color-filter layer;
- printing an alignment layer on the TFT layer;
- applying protective coating on the alignment layer;
- and
- assembling the TFT layer and the color-filter layer into a display, wherein the TFT layer and the color-filter layer are separated by spacers to form a gap to hold liquid crystals.
3 more elements
A device comprising:
- a display including:
- a color-filter layer;
- a thin-film transistor (TFT) layer having an alignment layer, wherein the TFT layer includes landing areas;
- spacers formed on the color-filter layer to create space between the color-filter layer and the TFT layer for liquid crystals, wherein the landing areas on the TFT layer accommodate the spacers;
- and
- a scratch-resistant coating formed on the alignment layer of the TFT layer, wherein the scratch-resistant coating protects the alignment layer in an aperture area from contact by one of the spacers.
