Color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display and a method for manufacturing the same

A color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display comprising:

• a transparent insulating substrate;
• a plurality of color filters disposed on the substrate and evenly spaced apart from one another;
• an overcoat layer of transparent insulating material disposed over the color filters and exposed portions of the substrate forming individual color filters thereon;
• a black matrix of opaque conductive material disposed on the overcoat layer covering each gap between adjacent spaced apart color filters, the matrix having a width at least five times wider than the gap;
• and
• a common electrode of transparent conductive material disposed on the overcoat layer and covering the black matrix thereon.

A color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display comprising:

• a transparent insulating substrate;
• a plurality of color filters disposed on the substrate and separated from one another by a regular gap;
• an overcoat layer of transparent insulating material disposed over the color filters and exposed portions of the substrate forming individual color filters thereon;
• a buffer layer of transparent conductive material disposed on the overcoat layer;
• a black matrix of opaque conductive material disposed on the buffer layer covering each gap between adjacent color filters, the matrix having a width at least five times wider than the gap;
• and
• a common electrode disposed on the buffer layer and covering the black matrix thereon.

A color filter substrate for a liquid crystal display comprising:

• a transparent insulating substrate;
• a plurality of color filters disposed on the substrate, each color filter overlapping an adjacent color filter;
• an overcoat layer of transparent insulating material disposed on the color filters;
• a black matrix of opaque conductive material disposed on the overcoat layer covering each area where said color filters overlap;
• and
• a common electrode of indium tin oxide (ITO) disposed on the overcoat layer and covering the black matrix thereon.
