Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD) device, more particularly to a liquid crystal display (LCD) device using the COA process.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- The conventional TFT-LCD panel was assembled by a TFT glass substrate, a color filter glass substrate, and the liquid crystal injected into the gap between such two substrates. In the past, the alignment between the TFT glass substrate and the color filter glass substrate must be made accurately. Therefore, the yield of the cell process is the lowest one in comparison to the whole panel process. If we can prevent from the loss under such process, the whole yield and the cost reduction can be improved greatly. For the new mass production technology, which is the so-called COA (color filter on array) technology, the color filter process should be executed after the TFT array process for the TFT glass substrate. By means of the COA technology, higher aperture ratio of the TFT glass substrate is obtained, thus improving the brightness of the panel effectively.

- Please refer to
FIG. 4A andFIG. 4B , a front view of the TFT-LCD device and a cross-sectional view of the wire-collecting area according to the first embodiment of the present invention are shown.FIG. 4B is the cross-sectional view ofFIG. 4A in the XX′ direction. First, a series of the procedures forming TFTs, a wire-collectingarea 411, and an outer lead bonding (OLB)area 412 are executed on atransparent glass substrate 42. After such procedures, a plurality of protrudingmetal wires 43 will be formed in the wire-collectingarea 411 as illustrated inFIG. 4B . Theactive area 41, the wire-collectingarea 411 and theOLB area 412 are electrically connected. The material of themetal wires 43 is usually molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al) or the stack of Mo and Al. In general, aprotective film 44, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO), is sputtered on the surface of themetal wires 43 in order to prevent from oxidation of themetal wires 43. - After the above steps, the black matrix [BM] layer process will be executed. First, an organic resin material is formed on the
substrate 42 by the spin-coating method. Then, the organic resin material located on theactive area 41 and theOLB area 412 is removed by exposure, development and baking, thus forming a black matrix (BM)layer 45 in ablack matrix area 413 and in the wire-collectingarea 411, as shown inFIGS. 4A and 4B . Theblack matrix area 413 surrounds theactive area 41. Thus, the wire-collectingarea 411 is covered by theBM layer 45 as a passivation layer. In this way, exposure of themetal wires 43 in the wire-collectingarea 411 is prevented, thus improving product reliability. - Please refer to

Theactive area 41, the wire-collectingarea 411 and theOLB area 412 are electrically connected. The material of themetal wires 43 is usually molybdenum (Mo), aluminum (Al) or the stack of Mo and Al. In general, aprotective layer 44, such as indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO), is sputtered on the surface of themetal wires 43 in order to prevent from oxidation of themetal wires 43. - After the above steps, an organic resin material is formed on the
substrate 42 by the spin-coating method. Then, the organic resin material located on theactive area 41, the wire-collectingarea 411, and theOLB area 412 is removed by exposure, development and baking, forming a black matrix (BM)layer 45 in ablack matrix area 413 shown inFIG. 5A . Theblack matrix area 413 surrounds theactive area 41. Thus, noBM layer 45 remains in the wire-collectingarea 411, that is, no BM layer can be seen fromFIG. 5B . - The color filter [CF] layer process will be executed after the formation of the
BM layer 45. At present, the main commercial process to form the CF layer is the organic pigment dispersion (OPD) method. A radical polymerization photoresist including organic pigment can be used. The procedures of coating the photoresist, exposure and development are repeated three times to form R, G, and B color filter patterns. We can get the R color filter patterns by using the Anthraquinone series organic pigment and the G, B color filter patterns by using the Phthalocyanine series organic pigment. The R, G, and B color filter patterns can have different variations, provided that at least one color filter pattern remains both in theactive area 41 and the wire-collectingarea 411 and all the color filter patterns in theOLB area 412 are removed. The color filter pattern remaining in theactive area 41 is not shown. The color filter pattern remaining in the wire-collectingarea 411 is labeled acolor filter layer 46 as a passivation layer as shown inFIG. 5B . Thecolor filter layer 46 can be single color of red, green, or blue, that is, a red, green, or blue color filter pattern. Or, thecolor filter layer 46 can be a combination of arbitrary two or three colors, that is, a combination of red and green color filter patterns, a combination of red and blue color filter patterns, a combination of green and blue color filter patterns, or a combination of red, green, and blue color filter patterns.

active area 51 and the wire-collectingarea 511 is entirely removed, and that in theOLB area 512 is partially removed by exposure, development and baking, forming a blackmatrix BM layer 55 in ablack matrix area 513 and in theOLB area 512 as illustrated inFIGS. 6A and 6B . Theblack matrix area 513 surrounds theactive area 51. TheBM layer 55 in theOLB area 512 is located between the outer leads 58 as an insulation layer, in order to increase insulation among said outer leads 58. The height of theBM layer 55 is preferably lower than the outer leads 58 to avoid that the outer leads 58 are unable to connect electrically with a flexible printed circuit board (FPC).

In addition, theBM layer 65 in theOLB area 612 is located between the outer leads 68 as an insulation layer. Thus, the insulation among the outer leads 68 in theOLB area 612 is increased. Preferably, the height of theBM layer 65 is higher than the sum of the height ofmetal wires 63 and the height of the protective layer (ITO/IZO) 64, but lower than the outer leads 68 to avoid that the outer leads 68 are unable to connect electrically with a flexible printed circuit board (FPC).
