Logo patterning methods for liquid crystal displays

Display circuitry having an active display area surrounded by an inactive border area, comprising:

• a thin-film transistor substrate;
• a color filter substrate;
• a first black masking layer that is formed on the thin-film transistor substrate and that has a first opening in the inactive border area;
• and
• a second black masking layer that is formed on the color filter substrate and that has a second opening in the inactive border area, wherein the second opening is aligned with the first opening.

An electronic device display, comprising:

• a thin-film transistor layer;
• a color filter layer;
• and
• a backlight unit, wherein the color filter layer is interposed between the backlight unit and the thin-film transistor layer;
• an array of thin-film transistors formed in the thin-film transistor layer in an active area of the display;
• and
• a symbol that is displayed in an inactive area of the display that surrounds the active area.
