DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with the technical matters, structural features, achieved objects, and effects with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows. Specifically, the terminologies in the embodiments of the present invention are merely for describing the purpose of the certain embodiment, but not to limit the invention.

[0023] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method of fabricating a color filter 100 according to the present invention. At first, a permeable film 20 is formed and dried on a glass substrate 10 (Step S101), as FIG. 2 shows. The permeable film 20 is a macromolecular permeable film filled with a plurality of holes. The permeable film 20 is formed on the glass substrate 10 by means of affix. In other embodiments, a macromolecular osmotic material filled with a plurality of holes is coated on the glass substrate 10 to form the permeable film 20 on the glass substrate 10. The permeable film 20 is formed on the whole surface of the glass substrate 10.

[0024] Subsequently, on the dried permeable film 20, a black mask Y1 with a hollow area L1 (as FIG. 4 shows), a red mask Y2 with a hollow area L2 (as FIG. 5 shows), a green mask Y3 with a hollow area L3 (as FIG. 6 shows), and a blue mask Y4 with a hollow area L4 (as FIG. 7 shows) are covered successively. Only one of the four masks is covered each time. Besides, the permeable film 20 covered by the masks is put into a particle solution corresponding to a respective color successively to form the color filter 100 comprising a black shielding area Z1, a red area R1, a green area G1, and a blue area B1 (as FIG. 7 shows) (Step S102).

[0025] Please refer to FIG. 3 to FIG. 7. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of Step S102 according to one preferred embodiment of the present invention. Paste the black mask Y1 having the hollow area L1 on the dried permeable film 20, as FIG. 4 shows; put the glass substrate 10 having the black mask Y1 into a carbon black particle solution to form the black shielding area Z1 and marked area M1 on the permeable film 20, as FIG. 3 shows (Step S1021). The black mask Y1 is hollowed to form the hollow area L1 on a location where the black shielding area Z1 and the marked area M1 need to be formed. Since the hollow area L1 in the black mask Y1 is not covered, a black pattern is formed on the hollow area L1 after the dried permeable film 20 absorbs the carbon black particle solution. So the opaque black pattern forms the black shielding area Z1 and the marked area M1. The hollow area L1 in the black mask Y1 is arranged in advance of the black shielding area Z1 and the marked area M1 which need to be formed in the color filter 100. A hollow location which the marked area M1 corresponds to has a rectangular frame with a certain width in this embodiment.

[0026] Remove the black mask Y1; paste the red mask Y2 having the hollow area L2 on the glass substrate 10 based on the marked area M1, as FIG. 5 shows; put the glass substrate 10 having the permeable film 20 having the red mask Y2 into a red particle solution to form the red area R1 (Step S1023). The size of the red area R1 is the same as the frame of the marked area M1. The red mask Y2 aligning the edge of the frame of the marked area M1 is pasted on the glass substrate 10, which is put into the red particle solution. Since the hollow area L2 in the red mask Y2 is not covered, a red pattern is formed on the hollow area L2 after the dried permeable film 20 absorbs the red particle solution. So the red pattern forms the red area R1. The hollow area L2 in the red mask Y2 is arranged in advance of the red area R1 which needs to be formed in the color filter 100.

[0027] Remove the red mask Y2; paste the green mask Y3 having the hollow area L3 on the glass substrate 10 based on the marked area M1, as FIG. 6 shows; put the glass substrate 10 having the permeable film 20 having the green mask Y3 into a green particle solution to form the green area G1 (Step S1025). The size of the green mask Y3 is the same as the frame of the marked area M1. The green mask Y3 aligning the edge of the frame of the marked area M1 is pasted on the glass substrate 10, which is put into the green particle solution. Since the hollow area L3 in the green mask Y3 is not covered, a green pattern is formed on the hollow area L3 after the dried permeable film 20 absorbs the green particle solution. So the green pattern forms the green area G1. The hollow area L3 in the green mask Y3 is arranged in advance of the green area G1 which needs to be formed in the color filter 100.

[0028] Remove the green mask Y3; paste the blue mask Y4 having the hollow area L4 on the glass substrate 10 based on the marked area M1, as FIG. 7 shows; put the glass substrate 10 having the permeable film 20 having the blue mask Y4 into a blue particle solution to form the blue area B1, thereby forming the color filter 100 comprising the red area R1, the green area G1, the blue area B1, and the black shielding area Z1 (Step S1027). The size of the blue mask Y4 is the same as the frame of the marked area M1. The blue mask Y4 aligning the edge of the frame of the marked area M1 is pasted on the glass substrate 10, which is put into the blue solution. Since the hollow area L4 in the blue mask Y4 is not covered, a blue pattern is formed on the hollow area L4 after the dried permeable film 20 absorbs the blue particle solution. So the blue pattern forms the blue area B1. The hollow area L4 in the blue mask Y4 is arranged in advance of the blue area B1 which needs to be formed in the color filter 100.

[0029] As FIG. 3 shows, the method of forming the black shielding area Z1, the red area R1, the green area G1, and the blue area B1 specifically is merely one preferred embodiment of the present invention. The order of the black shielding area Z1, the red area R1, the green area G1, and the blue area B1 can be rearranged in other embodiments. For example, at first, the red area R1 and the marked area M1 are formed on the permeable film 20 through the red mask Y2. Next, the black shielding area Z1 is formed after the permeable film 20 is covered by the black mask Y1 and put into the carbon black particle solution. Subsequently, the blue area B1 is formed after the permeable film 20 is covered by the blue mask Y4 and put into the blue particle solution. Afterwards, the green area G1 is formed after the permeable film 20 is covered by the green mask Y3 and put into the green particle solution. However, the size of a first mask as the marked area M1 needs to be in accordance with the size of the glass substrate 10. The size of the following masks needs to match the frame of the marked area M1.

[0030] The black mask Y1, the red mask Y2, the green mask Y3, the blue mask Y4 are metallic masks in the corresponding hollow areas. The metallic plate is laid on all the non-hollow areas.

[0031] The black shielding area Z1, the red area R1, the green area G1, and the blue area B1 are formed on the color filter 100 after the dry permeable film 20 absorbs the corresponding color particles. So the black shielding area Z1, the red area R1, the green area G1, and the blue area B1 are formed by dyeing the permeable film 20 on different locations directly. So the thickness is the same.

[0032] Therefore, the color filter 100 comprises the glass substrate 10 and the permeable film 20. The relative areas formed on the glass substrate 10 absorb the black particles, the red particles, the green particles, and the blue particles to form the permeable film 20 comprising the black shielding area Z1, the red area R1, the green area G1, and the blue area B1. As FIG. 7 shows, the red area R1, the green area G1, the blue area B1, and the black shielding area Z1 are shaped like stripes in this embodiment. In the finally formed color filter 100, the red area R1, the black shielding area Z1, the green area G1, the black shielding area Z1, the blue area B1, and the black shielding area Z1 are arranged from left to right in a loop. It is possible that the red area R1, the green area G1, the blue area B1, and the black shielding area Z1 are shaped otherwise in other embodiments. It is also possible that the red area R1, the green area G1, the blue area B1, and the black shielding area Z1 are arranged in other proper ways in other embodiments.

[0033] Please refer to FIG. 8 showing a schematic diagram of a display 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The display 300 comprises a display panel 200. The display panel 200 comprises the above-mentioned color filter 100. The display panel 200 can be a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. It is possible that the display panel 200 further comprises other components such as a thin film transistor (TFT) array substrate, an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode layer, etc. It is possible that the display 300 is an LCD.

[0034] Above are embodiments of the present invention, which does not limit the scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements or improvements within the spirit and principles of the embodiment described above should be covered by the protected scope of the invention.
