Abstract:
1. A liquid crystal display comprising: a first insulating substrate; a plurality of gate lines formed on the first insulting substrate; a gate insulating layer covering the gate line; a plurality of data lines formed on the gate insulating layer and intersecting the gate lines to define first to third pixel areas; a plurality of thin film transistors electrically connected to the gate lines and the data lines; a protective layer covering the thin film transistors and the data lines and having a plurality of contact holes exposing a plurality of drain electrodes of the thin film transistors; a plurality of pixel electrodes connected to the drain electrodes through the contact holes; a second insulating substrate facing the first insulating substrate; a black matrix having a plurality of openings formed on the second insulating substrate; red, green, and blue color filters each arranged within an opening of the black matrix and arranged on the second insulating substrate, wherein the red, green, and blue color filters face the first to third pixel areas; and a common electrode covering the red, green, and blue color filters and having a plurality of cutouts disposed on the red, green, and blue color filters, wherein the protective layer and the gate insulating layer have openings in the first and the second pixel areas, wherein the protective layer and the gate insulating layer do not have openings in the third pixel area, wherein the openings of the protective layer and gate insulation layer overlap the pixel electrodes, and wherein the green color filter that is arranged within an opening of the black matrix is thicker than both the red color filter arranged within an opening of the black matrix and the blue color filter arranged within an opening of the black matrix.
