Abstract
A color filter is described, including a first color filter layer, a first light absorbing layer, a second color filter pattern and a second light absorbing pattern. The first color filter layer is disposed over a substrate. The first light absorbing layer is disposed between the substrate and the first color filter layer. The second color filter pattern covers a portion of the first color filter layer. The second light absorbing pattern is disposed between the second color filter pattern and the first color filter layer.
Claims20
A color filter, comprising:
- a first color filter layer over a substrate;
- a first light absorbing layer between the substrate and the first color filter layer, wherein the first light absorbing layer entirely covers the substrate;
- a second color filter pattern, covering a portion of the first color filter layer;
- and
- a second light absorbing pattern between the second color filter pattern and the first color filter layer, wherein the second color filter pattern reflects a portion of a wavelength range of a light beam and the second light absorbing pattern absorbs the other portion of the wavelength range of the light beam.
A color filter, comprising:
- a first color filter layer over a substrate;
- a first light absorbing layer between the substrate and the first color filter layer;
- a second color filter pattern, covering a portion of the first color filter layer;
- and
- a second light absorbing pattern between the second color filter pattern and the first color filter layer;
- a planarization layer covering a portion of the first color filter layer not covered by the second color filter pattern;
- and
- a third color filter pattern covering a portion of the second color filter pattern, a portion of the planarization layer or both;
- and
- a third light absorbing pattern below the third color filter pattern.
A method of fabricating a color filter, comprising:
- forming a first light absorbing layer over a substrate, wherein the first light absorbing layer entirely covers the substrate;

- performing a planarization process to the first planarization layer;
- and
- forming a third light absorbing layer and a third color filter layer on the substrate;
- and
- patterning the third color filter layer and the third light absorbing layer so as to form a third color filter pattern and a third light absorbing pattern, which cover a portion of the second color filter pattern, a portion of the planarization layer or both.
A reflective liquid crystal display panel, comprising:
- a transparent substrate, having a first electrode layer thereon;
