Abstract:
An in-plane-switching mode liquid crystal display device is disclosed. The LCD device includes: first and second substrates opposite to each other; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates; a passivation film formed on the first substrate in which a thin film transistor is disposed; pixel and common electrodes arranged alternately with each other; and a first alignment film formed on the pixel and common electrodes. The liquid crystal layer and the passivation film are formed to have lower non-resistances than that of the first alignment film.
Abstract:
An alignment layer for an LCD includes a thin layer of silicon oxide SiOx. The silicon oxide layer horizontally aligns liquid crystals thereon when the value of x is in the range from about 1.0 to about 1.5, but vertically aligns the liquid crystals when the value of x is in a range from about 1.5 to about 2.0. The alignment layer is readily formed on a large area of the substrate through chemical vapor deposition or evaporation deposition. Because the alignment layer is thermally and physically stable, the operational characteristics of the liquid crystal display employing this alignment layer are improved. In addition, the alignment layer has a thickness of about 500 to about 3000 angstroms thereby improving light transmittance of the LCD having the alignment layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed are an apparatus and method for fabricating an alignment layer for liquid crystal displays, capable of shortening process time, preventing scratches of alignment layers and decreasing black luminance. The method includes coating an alignment agent on a substrate, arranging a nano pattern mold with a groove and a protrusion to contact the alignment agent, pre-curing the alignment agent, separating the nano pattern mold from the alignment agent, and hard-curing the alignment agent separated from the nano pattern mold to form an alignment layer.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a thin film transistor substrate and a method for fabricating the same, which can shorten a process time, prevent a scratch from taking place at an alignment film, and increase black luminance. The thin film transistor substrate includes a thin film transistor formed on a substrate, a protective film formed to flatten a step of the thin film transistor and have an uneven surface with repetitive projected patterns and recessed patterns, a pixel electrode formed on the protective film to maintain an uneven shape of the protective film, and an alignment film formed both on the protective film and the pixel electrode to maintain the uneven shapes of the protective film and the pixel electrode.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a first display substrate, a second display substrate and a liquid crystal layer disposed therebetween. The first and second display substrates include first and second vertical inorganic alignment layers, respectively, to vertically align liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer. The first and second vertical inorganic alignment layers each include a silicon carbide and are formed on the first and second display substrates, respectively, by a chemical vapor deposition method or a sputtering method. Thus, processes for the vertical inorganic alignment layer may be simplified, thereby improving manufacturing productivity of the liquid crystal display apparatus.
