In-plane-switching (IPS) mode liquid crystal display having a patterned resin spacer

摘要

A liquid crystal display apparatus comprising: a color filter base plate having a transparent substrate, a black matrix and a colored film of three primary colors provided on the transparent substrate, an electrode-carrying base plate provided with electrodes for applying an electric field parallel to the color filter (in-plane switching or IPS mode), and a liquid crystal disposed therebetween, wherein a spacer is formed on the black matrix by patterning a resin, and the thickness and optical density of the black matrix assume particular values.
