Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a color filter substrate and a display device including the color filter substrate, and more particularly to a color filter substrate having a column spacer arrangement structure for reducing sensitivity to an external force, And to a display device capable of reducing degradation.
The liquid crystal display device is characterized in that it has a large contrast ratio, is suitable for moving picture display, and has low power consumption, and is used in various fields such as a notebook computer, a monitor, and a TV.
Liquid crystals are thin and long in molecular structure, have optical anisotropy, which has directionality in arrangement, and polarizing properties, in which the direction of molecular arrangement is changed according to their size when placed in an electric field. Liquid crystal displays use optical anisotropy and polarizability of liquid crystal, Lt; / RTI >
Generally, a display device includes a display panel in which a liquid crystal layer is interposed between a first substrate (e.g., a color filter substrate) and a second substrate (e.g., an array substrate).
On the other hand, a spacer is provided between the first substrate and the second substrate to maintain a constant gap between the two substrates.
The spacer is divided into a ball spacer and a column spacer according to the shape and arrangement method thereof. In the case of the ball spacer, there is a problem that it is difficult to keep the gap between the two substrates constant by uneven scattering. Recently, a column spacer which can be patterned in a desired shape in a specific position is preferred.
Generally, the column spacer is provided with a gap column spacer, which is provided so as to be in contact with both substrates, in order to maintain a constant distance between the color filter substrate and the array substrate, and a gap between the color filter substrate and the array substrate, And can be classified as a pressing column spacer provided so as to be in contact with both substrates at the time of polishing.
Generally, since the pressed column spacer is not fixed to the array substrate, it can move along the direction in which the external force is applied, but can return to the original position when the external force is removed.
However, when a relatively strong external force is applied locally, when the pressed column spacer contacts the array substrate, the alignment film provided on the array substrate may be damaged. As a result, the alignment of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer or the twist angle There is a problem that light leakage may occur. In particular, this light leakage phenomenon may occur frequently when the display device is highly sensitive to external force.
Also, in the case of a display device having high sensitivity to an external force, the display panel can be assembled in a warped state by an external force applied at the time of assembly. In this case, a light leakage phenomenon may occur in the vicinity of the edge of the display area even if an external force is not applied continuously.
This light leakage phenomenon can be observed, in particular, as a foggy mist on a black image, and is referred to as a black uniformity defect. FIG. 1 shows a display screen of a display device in which the above-described black uniformity defect occurs.
At this time, by increasing the arrangement density of the column spacer, the sensitivity to the external force can be reduced, thereby improving the display quality.
However, when the arrangement density of the column spacer in the display area is to be increased, the area of the black matrix layer where the column spacer is disposed must also be widened, so that the resolution and the aperture ratio of the display area are reduced.
Accordingly, in recent years, attempts have been made to reduce the light leakage near the edge of the display area by disposing the column spacer in the non-display area. However, as the non-display area corresponding to the bezel of the display device is narrowed, there is a limit to the column spacer which can be arranged in the non-display area.

As described above, the non-display area corresponding to the bezel of the display device tends to be gradually narrowed, and accordingly, the number of the column spacers that can be disposed in the non-display area is limited.
However, as shown in Fig. 3, when considering the margin between the column spacers for the flow of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer, it is difficult to increase the batch density of the cylindrical column spacers as much as possible. In addition, in the case of cylindrical column spacers, The total area of the column spacer contacting the substrate is not large enough to sufficiently alleviate the sensitivity to the external force.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a color filter substrate having a column spacer arrangement structure for reducing the sensitivity to an external force.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a color filter substrate capable of improving the arrangement density of column spacers without lowering the aperture ratio or expanding the non-display area in the display area.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a display device capable of preventing light leakage from occurring due to external force applied to the display panel due to external force applied during assembly.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a color filter substrate having improved arrangement density of column spacers in a non-display area by disposing a column spacer having a bar shape extending in a width direction or a non- Can be provided.
Further, according to the above example, a color filter substrate can be provided which can reduce the sensitivity to external force by increasing the total contact surface exposed to the arrangement density of the column spacers in the non-display area.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a color filter substrate in which a column spacer having a bar shape extending in a non-display region or a width direction in a non-display region is disposed, thereby reducing sensitivity to an external force, It is possible to provide a display device capable of improving the display quality.
The color filter substrate according to the present invention can increase the arrangement density of the column spacers in the non-display area and reduce the sensitivity to external force when applied to a display device.
Further, according to the present invention, even if the display device has a relatively narrow bezel area, the column spacer having a bar shape extending in the length direction or the width direction of the non-display area is provided in various patterns, It is possible to alleviate this bending.
According to the present invention, since the total area of the column spacer in contact with the array substrate can be increased compared with the arrangement density of the column spacer in the non-display area, light leakage occurs near the boundary between the non-display area and the display area Can be reduced.
