Abstract:
A thin film transistor array substrate is provided with a gate line assembly, a data line assembly, and thin film transistors. The data line assembly crosses over the gate line assembly while defining pixel regions. A pixel electrode is formed at each pixel region. A color filter substrate is provided with a black matrix, and color filters of red, green and blue are formed at the black matrix at the pixel regions. An overcoat layer covers the color filters, and a common electrode is formed on the overcoat layer with an opening pattern. The thin film transistor array substrate, and the color filter substrates face each other, and a liquid crystal material is injected between the thin film transistor array substrate, and the color filter substrate. The blue color filter has a thickness smaller than the red color filter or the green color filter such that the liquid crystal cell gap at the blue color filter is larger than the liquid crystal cell gap at the red or green color filter.

Abstract:
A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate having a plurality of pixels, a second substrate facing the first substrate, polarizing plates attached to outer surfaces of the two substrates, and a liquid crystal material injected into the gap between the two substrates, molecules of the liquid crystal material being initially aligned perpendicularly to the substrates. Each pixel is divided into a plurality of domains distinguished by an average alignment direction of liquid crystal molecules included therein when an electric field is applied to the liquid crystal material. On average, liquid crystal molecules located at an edge of the domains are aligned symmetrically to each other with respect to a boundary of the domains. Polarizing directions of the polarizing plates are either perpendicular or parallel to each other, but neither parallel nor perpendicular to at least one of the average alignment directions of the liquid crystal molecules of the domains.
Abstract:
A tetragonal ring shape aperture is formed in the common electrode on one substrate and a cross shape aperture is formed at the position corresponding to the center of the tetragonal ring shape aperture in the pixel electrode on the other substrate. A liquid crystal layer between two electrodes are divided to four domains where the directors of the liquid crystal layer have different angles when a voltage is applied to the electrodes. The directors in adjacent domains make a right angle. The tetragonal ring shape aperture is broken at midpoint of each side of the tetragon, and the width of the aperture decreases as goes from the bent point to the edge. Wide viewing angle is obtained by four domains where the directors of the liquid crystal layer indicate different directions, disclination is removed and luminance increases.
Abstract:
In a vertically aligned mode LCD, a gate line and a storage line are formed on a substrate in parallel, and a storage electrode and a cover pattern are formed as branches of the storage line. The storage electrode is overlapped with an aperture of a common electrode formed on an upper substrate. The cover pattern is located between a pixel electrode and a data line to prevent a light leakage. Accordingly, an alignment error margin of the upper substrate and the lower substrate is increased, an aperture ratio is enhanced, and repairing the high pixel defect is possible. Further, the light leakage caused by a voltage of the data line is prevented.

In the optical plate and a method of manufacturing the optical plate, a display apparatus and a method of manufacturing the display apparatus, an optical plate is formed on a polarizing plate transmitting polarized light of incident light, and includes a phase delaying layer having first and second patterns. The first pattern delays a phase of the polarized light by 3λ/4 and the second pattern delays the phase of the polarized light by λ/4. Accordingly, a process of manufacturing the display apparatus may be simplified, and a thickness of the display apparatus may be decreased.
