Embodiments of the present invention relate to a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, a manufacturing method thereof and a display device.
With the continuous development of the display device market, a liquid crystal display (LCD) has become a mainstream display device due to advantages of rapid response speed, high integration, low power consumption, etc. An LCD panel generally comprises a liquid crystal cell including an array substrate provided with a thin-film transistor (TFT) and an opposed substrate cell-assembled, and a liquid crystal molecule layer filled in the liquid crystal cell.
A black matrix is an important component in the LCD. The basic function of the black matrix (BM) is to shield light, so as to improve the contrast, avoid the color blending of adjacent subpixels, reduce the reflection of ambient light, and prevent the leakage current caused by the irradiation of the ambient light on an active layer of the TFT element. In general, in order to obtain good light shielding effect, the black matrix must have high optical density (OD), so the black matrix are usually made from materials such as chromium (Cr) metal or black materials (e.g., carbon (C)).
