Abstract
A display device includes pixels connected to gate lines and first and second data lines, dummy members extending in a first direction and disposed between adjacent pixels in a second direction crossing the first direction, and color filters extending in the second direction and overlapping pixels arranged in the second direction and disposed on the dummy members. A height of the color filters in step difference areas is larger than a height of the color filters in peripheral areas near the step difference areas. The step difference areas correspond to areas of the color filters in which the dummy members are disposed.
Claims20
A display device, comprising:
- a gate line extending in a first direction;
- a data line extending in a second direction crossing the first direction;
- a transistor connected to the gate line and the data line;
- a first insulating layer disposed on the transistor;
- a pixel electrode disposed on the first insulating layer and connected to the transistor;
- a dummy member disposed adjacent to the pixel electrode in the second direction;
- and
- a first base substrate on which the dummy member and the transistor are disposed,
- wherein the first insulating layer covers the dummy member, a first height defined by a distance from an upper surface of the first base substrate to an upper surface of the first insulating layer in a step difference area is larger than a second height defined by a distance from the upper surface of the first base substrate to the upper surface of the first insulating layer in a peripheral area near the step difference area, and
- the step difference area corresponds to an area of the first insulating layer overlapping the dummy member.
