The present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.


As illustrated in FIG. 1, in one embodiment, a display panel 300 is disclosed. The display panel 300 includes a color filter substrate 100 and an array substrate 200, which are aligned and bonded together to form a liquid crystal panel cell. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the color filter substrate includes a substrate 110, a black matrix layer 120, a first filler 130, and a positioning mark 140. The substrate 110 includes a display area 111 and a non-display area. 112, where the non-display area 112 is arranged around the display area 111. The black matrix layer 120 is disposed in the non-display area 112 of the substrate. The black matrix layer 120 is provided with a groove 121, which is an annular groove 121. In particular, grooving, is performed on the four sides of the black matrix layer 120 corresponding to the boundary between the display area and the non-display area to form an annular groove 121, which is arranged around the display area 111 and separates the black matrix layer 120 into a first black matrix layer 122 along the groove 121 away from the display area 111 and a second black matrix layer 123 along the groove 121 close to the display area 111.


The first filler 130 is disposed inside the groove 121 to prevent external static electricity from being introduced into the display area 111. The positioning mark 140 is arranged inside the groove 121, and has a different color from that of the first filler. The positioning mark 140 is used for positioning in the manufacturing process of the color filter substrate. The positioning mark 140 is arranged inside the groove 121, which is beneficial to reduce the occupation of other areas of the bezel, thereby reducing the width of the bezel and realizing the effect of a narrow bezel. The positioning mark 140 is used to realize the function of the positioning mark. While realizing the positioning, in the manufacturing process of the color filter substrate, the size of the non-display area 112 of the color filter substrate is reduced. Compared with the typical black matrix layer 120 in which the positioning mark is placed on the non-display area 112, the bezel is narrowed.


In this embodiment, the first filler 130 is a blue color filter. The shielding rate of a blue color filter is higher than that of a red color filter and a green color filter, and so has a good shielding effect. The positioning mark 140 may be a red color filter. Apart from creating a pattern difference from the first filler 130, the positioning mark 140 may also exhibit characteristics of color difference, so that the CCD camera could have a higher recognition precision.


Further, the groove 121 may be a blind groove 121 or a through groove 121. When the groove 121 is a blind groove 121, the black matrix layer 120 at the bottom of the groove 121 is thin and has a large resistance, which prevents the external static electricity from being transmitted to the display area 111 through the black matrix layer 120 when the black matrix layer 120 contacts the outside environment, thus serving the function of preventing static electricity. When the groove 121 is a through groove 121, the first black matrix layer 122 and the second black matrix layer 123 are completely isolated from each other, thus preventing external static electricity from being transmitted into the display area 111, thus achieving an anti-static-electricity effect. The manufacturer can choose the specific groove shape to be a blind groove or a through groove depending on the process requirements, which however will not be detailed herein.


Apart from being arranged inside the groove 121, the positioning mark may also be arranged on the first black matrix layer, namely the positioning marks can be arranged in both places for combined use so that the CCD camera can have a high capture and recognition precision. Furthermore, when the positioning mark 140 is separately arranged on the first black matrix layer 121, the situation can be avoided where the recognition of the positioning mark 140 is affected due to the shape of the positioning unit 130 when the positioning mark 140 is arranged on the positioning unit 130. Individually recognizing the positioning mark 140 can provide a high precision, and the CCD camera is not affected when capturing an image.


As illustrated in FIG. 2, the positioning mark 140 is a rectangle. The positioning mark is made of a red color filter, and the first filler is a blue color filter. The rectangular shape is convenient for the CCD camera to capture, recognize, and locate, and also makes it easier to form the positioning mark 140. The red color filter has better light shielding capability than other colors and is easier to identify. The length dimension of the positioning mark 140 is in the range of 20-100 micrometers, the width dimension is in the range of 20-100 micrometers, namely the size range is set between 20-100 micrometers. If the length dimension or width dimension is less than 20 microns, the positioning mark 140 would have a small size, and so the recognition speed would be slow. Furthermore, in terms of the existing manufacturing process, the process with the length dimension or width dimension less than 20 microns cannot be realized. If the length dimension or width dimension is larger than 100 microns, the size of the positioning mark 140 is larger, and because the positioning mark 140 is arranged inside the groove 121, there will be a risk of light leakage. The color of the positioning mark 140 is different from the color of the first filler 130, so that the CCD camera can capture not only by shape, but also by color, which further improves the recognition accuracy of the positioning mark 140 and the recognition speed of the CCD camera.


As illustrated in FIG. 3, in one embodiment, the positioning mark 140 is in the shape of an annular square (the shape of a Chinese character “custom-character”). The center of the positioning mark 140 is filled with a second filler 141. The second filler 141 and the first filler 130 can be formed at the same time. The first filler 130 and the second filler 141 may have the same blue color or other color, or they may have different colors, but both have different colors from that of the positioning mark. By designing the positioning mark 140 as an annular square shape, it is more convenient for the CCD camera to capture, recognize and locate. In addition, the center of the positioning mark 140 is filled with the first filler, and the color of the positioning, mark 140 is different from that of the first filler 130, so that the CCD camera can capture riot only by the shape of the annular square, but also by color, thus further improving the recognition precision of the positioning mark 140 and the recognition speed of the CCD camera. Apart from the rectangular shape and the annular square shape, the positioning mark 140 can also use a cross shape of other special microstructures capable of easy recognition, such as triangles, circles, etc., to improve the recognition precision of the CCD camera. In particular, in this embodiment, the positioning mark 140 is a red color filter, the first filler 130 is a blue color filter, and the red color filter is arranged surrounding the blue color filter. The CCD camera can not only identify the annular square pattern of the positioning mark 140, but also can identify the colors of the positioning mark 140 and the first filler 130, or use pattern recognition and color recognition in combination to improve the recognition accuracy while improving the recognition speed. The contact interfaces made between the positioning mark 140, the first filler 130, and the groove 121 with the sealant 150 are preferably designed as non-planar microstructures, thereby enhancing the bonding area and strength of the sealant 150. Further, under the premise of not affecting the thickness of the box, the first filler 130 and the groove 121 are designed in the form of different heights, thereby further enhancing the bonding area and strength of the sealant 150. In addition, the positions of the first black matrix layer 122, the second black matrix layer 123 and the groove 121 are set corresponding to the position of the sealant 150. The widths of the first black matrix layer 122, the second black matrix. layer 123 and the groove 121 are smaller than the width of the sealant 150, thereby enhancing the bonding area of the sealant 150, so that the sealant 150 surrounds the first black matrix layer 122, the second black matrix layer 123 and the groove 121 , thereby enhancing the adhesion strength of the sealant 150.


Further, the solution in which the positioning mark is a red color filter and the first filler is a blue color filter is preferably applied to the case illustrated in FIG. 7. In the figure, because the metal traces in the display area are relatively wider, the light irradiated from the bottom of the substrate can be blocked, so that the light transmittance through the groove 121 area is weak. Using the solution where the positioning mark is a red color filter and the first filler is a blue color filter not only improves the accuracy of the CCD camera in recognizing the positioning mark, but also uses positioning marks with different colors depending the actual situation to improve recognition accuracy of the CCD camera while filling the red color filter in an area where the light transmission is weak. Compared with the solution in which the positioning mark is a blue color filter and the first filler is a red color filter, the color filter substrate thus arranged has a better light shielding effect.


Of course, the colors of the positioning mark and the first filler disposed in the fiddle of the positioning mark are not limited to only the above option, and there are in fact six color setting schemes for the positioning mark and the first filler. For example, the first filler is a blue color filter, and the positioning mark is a red color filter; or the first filler is a blue color filter, and the positioning mark is a green color filter; or the first filler is a red color filter, the positioning mark is a blue color filter; or the first filler is a red color filter, and the positioning, mark is a green color filter; or the first filler is a green color filter, the positioning marking is blue color filler ; or the first filler is green color filter, the positioning mark is red color filter; and so on and so forth, a variety of color setting schemes are possible, which can be selected depending on the actual production process.


As illustrated in FIG. 4, there are four positioning marks 140, the shape of the groove 121 is a rectangle, and the positioning marks 140 are respectively located at the four corners inside the groove 121. Specifically, the four positioning marks 140 are respectively arranged at the four top corners inside the groove 121. After the CCD camera. captures the positioning marks 140, then according to the four positioning marks 140, the rectangle formed by the connecting lines connecting the four positioning marks 140 is similar in size to the color filter substrate, which improves the recognition accuracy. Nevertheless, the four positioning marks 140 don't necessarily need to be arranged at the four corners inside the groove 121, and they may also be arranged along both sides of the inside of the groove 121. However, if the positioning marks 140 are arranged in this way, the closer the position of the positioning marks 140 is to the center of the color filter substrate, the lower the recognition accuracy of the CCD camera, which may cause errors in the position of the color filter substrate during the manufacturing process, thereby affecting the display effect.


As illustrated in FIG. 5, there are four positioning marks 140, the shape of the groove 121 is an annular square shape, and the positioning marks 140 are respectively located in the middles of the four sides of the groove 121. Specifically, four positioning marks 140 are respectively arranged in the middles of the four sides of the groove 121. That is, a cross made up of two center lines is set in the center of the color filter substrate and extends to the groove 121, and the four positioning marks 140 are respectively located at the intersections of the cross of center lines with the groove 121. This arrangement avoids wrinkles in the center of the screen that may be present when the positioning marks 140 are set at the four corners during the bonding process of a large size screen. Such arrangement of the positions of the positioning marks 140 is suitable for the bonding process of a large-size screen..


Further, the four sides of the groove 121 include an outer side and an inner side, the outer side is the side of the groove 121 away from the display area, and the inner side is the side of the groove 121 adjacent to the display area. In this embodiment, the positioning mark has three position modes. For example, the positioning mark may be disposed in the middle of each of the four sides of the groove 121, and one side of the positioning mark is arranged in close contact with the outer side of the groove 121. For example, the positioning mark may be disposed in the middle of each of the four sides of the groove 121, and one side of the positioning mark is arranged in close contact with the inner side of the groove 121. For another example, the positioning mark may be disposed in the middle of each of the four sides of the groove 121, and the positioning mark is arranged in the middle of the outer side and the inner side of the groove 121.


The four positioning marks can be set in different shapes to further improve the recognition accuracy. Specifically, the shapes of the positioning marks can be selected from a variety of easily identifiable microstructure shapes such as a rectangle, a triangle, a circle, a pentagon, a star, etc., which have clear differences with respect to the shape lines of the groove 121. There are many kinds of the order in which the four positioning marks are arranged; here, the positioning mark structures include a rectangle and a triangle to illustrate the arrangement order, but the positioning marks will not be limited to the rectangle and the triangle. For example, rectangles are set on the left and right sides of the upper end of the groove 121, and triangles are set on the left and right sides of the lower end of the groove 121. For example, triangles are set on the left and right sides of the upper end of the groove 121. and rectangles are set on the left and right sides of the lower end of the groove 121. For example, a rectangle is set on the left side of the upper end of the groove 121, a triangle is set on the right side of the upper end of the groove 121, a rectangle is set on the left side of the lower end of the groove 121, and a triangle is set on the right side of the lower end of the groove 121. For example, a triangle is set on the left side of the upper end of the groove 121, a rectangle is set on the right side of the upper end of the groove 121, a triangle is set on the left side of the lower end of the groove 121, and a rectangle is set on the right side of the lower end of the groove 121. For example, a triangle is set on the left side of the upper end of the groove 121, a rectangle is set on the right side of the upper end of the groove 121, a rectangle is set on the left side of the lower end of the groove 121, and a triangle is set on the right side of the lower end of the groove 121. For another example, a. rectangle is set on the left side of the upper end of the groove 121, a triangle is set on the right side of the upper end of the groove 121, a triangle is set on the left side of the lower end of the groove 121, and a rectangle is set on the right side of the lower end of the groove 121. There are various arrangements, and the arrangement and shapes of the positioning marks can be selected depending on the actual manufacturing process.


As illustrated in FIG. 6, there are eight positioning, marks 140, the shape of the groove 121 is a rectangle, four positioning marks 140 are respectively set at the four corners of the groove 121, and the other four positioning marks 140 are respectively set in the middles of the four sides of the groove 121. That is, four positioning marks 140 are respectively arranged at the four corners inside the groove 121, while the other four positioning marks 140 are respectively arranged at the middles of the four sides of the groove 121, and so the connection lines of the eight positioning marks 140 can form a Union-Jack shape. In this way, in the process of bonding the screen, because there are four positioning marks 140 arranged at the four corners inside the groove 121. the recognition accuracy is improved, and the other four positioning marks 140 are additionally respectively arranged in the middles of the four sides of the groove 121, so as to avoid wrinkles in the center of the screen during the process of screen bonding. The positions of the positioning marks 140 are not only suitable for large-sized screens, but also for small-sized screens, which improves the recognition accuracy and reduces the risk of damage, and avoids wrinkles in the center of the screen due to inaccurate positioning accuracy during the screen bonding process.


The first filler is a material with light shielding function and non-conductive. In this embodiment, possible materials of the first filler include alumina ceramic, calcium oxide ceramic or opaque silicon oxide, which are capable of high temperature resistance, electric insulation, and light-shielding effect; they can be filled in the groove 121 and act as a color filter.


In the above embodiment, the positioning mark 140 is made of a metal material, and a gate metal layer or a data line metal layer can be selected to increase the service life of the positioning mark 140. The positioning mark 140 can be formed by exposure and development with a mask. and so is convenient to manufacture. By setting the positioning unit 130 and the positioning mark 140, the positioning unit 130 is used in combination with the positioning mark 140. After the CCD camera captures the positioning unit 130, it first performs a rough positioning, and then captures the positioning mark 140 set on the positioning unit 130, namely the whole capturing process is divided into two-times recognition process, which improves the recognition accuracy and also improves the recognition speed. Moreover, the manufacturing specification of the positioning mark 140 can be improved, so that the positioning mark can be quickly identified even when the positioning mark of a small size is used, and the size of the non-display area 112 on the color filter substrate 100 is also reduced to achieve the effect of a narrow bezel.


As illustrated in FIG. S, in one embodiment, a method for manufacturing a. color filter substrate is disclosed, including the following operations:


S1: forming a black matrix layer in a non-display area on the substrate;


S2: defining a groove in the black matrix layer using a photomask; and


S3: forming a positioning mark;


wherein the positioning mark is arranged inside the groove, and is used for positioning in the manufacturing process of the color filter substrate; for example, the positioning mark is used a.s a positioning unit for positioning with an array substrate.


The black matrix layer is coated on the substrate by a coating process, and then a groove can be made in the black matrix layer by using a general mask developing technology to divide the black matrix layer into a first black matrix layer and a second black matrix layer. Positioning marks can be formed by photomask development technology Compared with a typical color filter substrate, the color filter substrate made by the above method reduces the size of the non-display area of the color filter substrate and realizes the effect of a narrow bezel.


The black matrix layer is coated on the substrate by a coating process, and then a groove can be made in the black matrix layer by using a general mask developing technology to divide the black matrix layer into a second black matrix layer and a first black matrix layer. In particular, the HTM process is used to control the exposure amounts in different areas to form the sidewall of the groove into a stepped shape, and then a positioning unit is formed by a mask developing technology. After the positioning unit is fanned, a positioning mark is formed on the positioning unit. Compared with a typical color filter substrate, the color filter substrate of the present application reduces the size of the non-display area of the color filter substrate and realizes the effect of a narrow bezel.
