Polar body display, etc. Due to the advantages of cost and performance, liquid crystal displays have become quite important products in flat panel displays. In the liquid crystal display, a color light-emitting sheet is usually used to achieve a color display effect. The color filter is usually constructed on a transparent glass substrate. The transparent glass substrate is mainly provided with a matrix for shielding the light (mack matrix, _, and corresponding to each (four) of the color-like color input 四 (4) due to the color ink injection In the process, the appropriate amount of color must be controlled, otherwise the color material may be generated across the black scale.

FIG. 2 only shows that dropping a drop of the impedance material 142 into the halogen region 122 is convenient. However, the present invention does not impose any limitation on the dropping impedance material 142. For example, the impedance material 142 may be dropped in any order. In the pixel regions 122, 124, and 126, or in another embodiment, a plurality of nozzles 140 may be used to accelerate the instillation process, or in still another embodiment, depending on the actual design situation, Sex does not drip into the impedance material 〖42 to several of the halogen regions. In the present embodiment, the resistive material 142 includes an ink receptive material and a dispersing agent, while in other embodiments, the resistive material 142 may also use other materials having similar properties. The ink receptive material used in the resistive material 142 may include titanium oxide or ceria or the like, and the dispersing agent used in the resistive material 142 may include water or ethanol or the like. Figure 3A shows a schematic of a plasma treatment in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3A, the impedance material 142 dropped in FIG. 2 forms the resistive material films 152, 154, and 156 in the halogen regions 122, 124 [and 126, respectively, and completely covers the halogen regions 122, 124, and Substrate surfaces 102, 104, and 106 within 126. The plasma processing device ι6 is used for plasma treatment of the substrate loo, and the plasma treatment is an ink repellent modification technology; in the drawings, only a schematic block is not shown, and detailed components are not shown. It does not affect the implementation of the invention. By this plasma treatment, the black matrix 12 top surface 128 is changed to have ink repellent properties, but at the same time, the resist regions 122, 124, and 4ADT can be protected by the resist material films 152, 154, and 156, respectively. /07002TW ; AU0609081 200841050 and 126 originally exposed substrate surfaces 1, 2, i 〇 4, and 106. Therefore, while the top surface of the black matrix 120 is changed to have ink repellent properties, the ink receptive properties of the substrate surfaces 102, 104, and 106 are maintained by the protection of the resistive material films 152, 154, and 156. This meal may have a different implementation of § noon, and is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein. For example, Figure 3B shows another schematic diagram of plasma processing in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. 3B differs from FIG. 3A in that the dropped impedance material 142 is controlled to an appropriate amount such that the resistive material films 153, 155, and 157 are covered by the sidewalls 129 of the black matrix 12''. Therefore, the resistive material films 153, 155, and 157 further protect the sidewalls 129 of the black matrix 120 in addition to the protective board surfaces 102, 104, and 106. Of course, depending on the actual situation in which the present invention is actually implemented, the amount of the resistive material 142 can be moderately adjusted to cover only a portion of the sidewall 129 of the black matrix 12A. Fig. 4 is a view showing the completion of the plasma treatment for the substrate 1 of Fig. 3A. At this time, by the plasma treatment, a thin layer 17 of the ink-repellent property is formed on the top surface 128 of the black matrix 12 . It is to be noted that the drawings of the present invention are only a schematic representation of the present invention, and that the elements in the drawings are not drawn to scale. Next, the resistive material films 52 154 and 156 ' are removed to expose the substrate surfaces 1〇2, 1〇4, and 1〇6. This step can use the water or other solvent to remove the resistive material films 152, 154, and the like, so that the present invention can be easily implemented without the use of complicated processes or additional equipment. 4ADT/07002TW; AU0609081 200841050 After the resistive material films 152, 154, and 156 are removed and the substrate surfaces 102, 104, and 106 are exposed, the colorants 183, 185 are dropped by the shower heads 182, 184, and 186, and 187 to among the pixel regions 122, 124, and 126 of the substrate 100 shown in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. The halogen regions 122, 124, and 126 are divided into at least three color regions (for example, blue, green, and red), and the toners 183, 185, and 187 use one of the corresponding three primary color materials, and are respectively filled in corresponding colors. The color area to form a color filter. The thin ink-repellent thin layer 170 makes it difficult for the toner to adhere to the top surface 128 of the black matrix 120, while the substrate surfaces 102, 104, and 106 still retain the ink-receptive properties, so that the toners 183, 185, and 187 are easily attached to the substrate surface. 102, 104, and 106, without the problem of incomplete or uneven color coverage, such as the toner distributions 192, 194, and 196 shown in FIG. Finally, the colorants 183, 185, and 187 are cured to produce flat color films 202, 204, and 206, as shown in FIG. As previously mentioned, the colorant completely covers the substrate surfaces 102, 104, and 1〇6 such that the cured color films 202, 204, and 206 will have flat and uniform good properties. In this embodiment, the curing step uses a drying process to cause the colorant to be converted from a liquid to a solid state, while in other embodiments, the curing step can also use a different manner depending on the nature of the color. The above embodiments are used to describe the present invention, but the present invention can still have more than four modifications. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the description of the specific embodiments described above, and the invention is intended to cover all such modifications and changes to the true spirit and scope of the invention.
