Abstract:
A liquid crystal display includes a first display substrate, a second display substrate facing the first display substrate, and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second display substrates, where the first display substrate includes a lower substrate, a pixel electrode, which is disposed on the lower substrate, and a protrusion pattern, which is disposed on the pixel electrode along an outer edge of the pixel electrode, the second display substrate includes an upper substrate and a light-shielding member, which is disposed on a surface of the upper substrate facing the first display substrate and in which indentation pattern parts are inwardly indented in a plan view, the light-shielding member includes light-shielding parts that are an entirety of the light-shielding member except for the indentation pattern parts, and the indentation pattern parts overlap parts of the pixel electrode.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a liquid crystal display in which a light leakage phenomenon is prevented, and a method of fabricating the same. The liquid crystal display includes: an array substrate; and an opposite substrate facing to the array substrate; and a liquid crystal layer between the array substrate and the opposite substrate. The array substrate includes a first base substrate in which pixel areas are defined, and the first base substrate includes a gate line, a data line crossing the gate line and voltage application lines having two lines disposed at both sides of the gate line and two lines disposed at both sides of the data line, a switching element connected with the gate line and the data line in the pixel area, and a shielding electrode and a pixel electrode on the data line. The data line and the two lines disposed at both sides of the data line at least partially overlap. Therefore, it is possible to fundamentally block light emitted from a lower backlight even without a black matrix, thereby preventing light leakage and improving transmissivity.
