Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a reflective liquid crystal display device, comprising: providing a first substrate including a display region and a first non-display region, the first non-display region being disposed at a boundary of the display region; depositing a first metallic material on the first substrate to form a gate line including a gate electrode and a gate pad; sequentially depositing silicon nitride (SiNx), amorphous silicon (a-Si) and impurity-doped amorphous silicon (n+ a-Si) on an entire surface of the substrate, wherein SiNx is a gate insulating layer; etching the a-Si and the n+ a-Si to form an active layer and an ohmic contact layer, respectively, wherein the active layer and the ohmic contact layer constitute a semiconductor layer; depositing a second metallic material on the entire surface of the first substrate, to form a data line including source and drain electrodes spaced apart from each other; forming a channel through exposing the active layer between the source and drain electrodes; wherein a thin film transistor (TFT) including the gate electrode, the semiconductor layer, and the source and drain electrodes is formed; forming a passivation layer on the TFT, the gate line and the data line through one of depositing and coating a material for the passivation layer, wherein the passivation layer has a drain contact hole exposing the drain electrode through a photolithography process; forming a black matrix and a light shielding pattern on the passivation layer over the TFT, the gate line and the data line, the black matrix shielding the TFT such that light is prevented from entering the TFT and the light shielding pattern shielding the first non-display region adjacent to the display region; coating an organic insulating material on the black matrix and the light shielding pattern, the organic insulating material forming a protection layer, wherein the protection layer has a contact hole corresponding to the drain contact hole formed through a photolithography process; depositing a transparent conductive material on the protection layer to form a pixel electrode, wherein the pixel electrode is connected to the drain electrode through the drain contact hole; and forming an orientation film on the pixel electrode to align a liquid crystal layer; wherein the light shielding pattern includes an organic material absorbing light and is simultaneously formed with the black matrix corresponding to a switching device; providing a second substrate facing and spaced apart from the first substrate, the second substrate including a second non-display region corresponding to the first non-display region; forming a light absorption layer on an inner surface of the second substrate; forming a cholesteric liquid crystal color filter (CCF) layer at the display region and the second non-display region on the light absorption layer; forming a retardation plate on an outer surface of the first substrate opposite to an inner surface of the first substrate on which the TFT is formed; and forming a polarizing plate on the retardation plate, wherein the CCF layer faces the light shielding pattern in the first and second non-display regions.
