In a liquid crystal display having liquid crystal sealed between first and second substrates opposing one another, the first substrate is provided with data lines () formed overlapping pixel electrodes (). By forming color filters () in a layer between the data lines () and the pixel electrodes (), the distance between the data lines () and the pixel electrodes () is increased, reducing parasitic capacitance generated therebetween. Effective voltage application to the pixel electrodes () is thereby accomplished, allowing increase in contrast. No decrease in transmittance is caused because the thickness of the planarizing film () is not increased.

Color liquid crystal display

A glass substrate is placed within a vacuum chamber with the surface on which an emissive layer forming an electroluminescence element is to be formed by evaporation facing downward. A mask is disposed within the vacuum chamber. A material of the emissive layer is adhered to the glass substrate through an opening of the mask, to thereby form the emissive layer. When the glass substrate and the mask are aligned, at least three sides of the glass substrate are supported by side supporting members.

Method of manufacturing electroluminescence display apparatus

In a liquid crystal display having liquid crystal sealed between first and second substrates opposing one another, the first substrate is provided with data lines ( ) formed overlapping pixel electrodes ( ). By forming color filters ( ) in a layer between the data lines ( ) and the pixel electrodes ( ), the distance between the data lines ( ) and the pixel electrodes ( ) is increased, reducing parasitic capacitance generated therebetween. Effective voltage application to the pixel electrodes ( ) is thereby accomplished, allowing increase in contrast. No decrease in transmittance is caused because the thickness of the planarizing film ( ) is not increased.

Color liquid crystal display having data line overlapping orientation control windows or slope faces within regions of associated pixel electrodes

A pixel electrode ( ) and a common electrode ( ) having alignment control windows ( ) formed thereon, are formed on opposing substrates ( ). Alignment control assistance electrodes ( ) are formed between the substrate ( ) and a color filter ( ) in areas covering the alignment control windows ( ), and supplied with a voltage of a different polarity from that to be applied to the opposing pixel electrodes. With this arrangement, an electric field is formed in areas with the alignment control window formed thereon, whereby an alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules is more strongly controlled.

Liquid crystal display device having electric field in areas with a control window formed thereon

A liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal layer formed between first and second insulating substrates. A wiring layer, an insulation film and a first orientation layer are formed on the first substrate between it and the liquid crystal layer. A electrode layer and a second orientation film are formed on the second substrate between it and the liquid crystal layer. The wiring layer includes grooves along its peripheral portion which allow the insulation film to contact the first substrate, which promotes bonding and inhibits peeling of the insulation film from the wiring layer.

Liquid crystal display device

A liquid crystal display includes a display region which is provided with a display pixel driving element, a drain driver which is arranged at least on a part around the display region for supplying a video signal to the display pixel driving element of the display region, a gate driver which is arranged at least on a part around the display region for supplying a scanning signal to the display pixel driving element of the display region, a drain line which is provided to connect the display region with the drain driver, and an additional capacitive electrode which is provided on a region between the display region and the drain driver.

Display and method of fabricating the same

An active matrix liquid crystal display improves its contrast by suppressing irregularity of an alignment film caused by video lines thereby reducing reverse regions on a display electrode. The active matrix liquid crystal display has first and second opposite substrates, a video line, an active element and a display electrode which are directly or indirectly formed on the first substrate, and an alignment film which is formed on or above the video line, the active element and the display electrode. The alignment film is so formed that is surface is at an angle of inclination of not more than 10.5.degree. with respect to the display electrode surface between the video line and the display electrode.
