Abstract:
1. A backlit liquid crystal display device, comprising: a first substrate to be illuminated by a light source; a second substrate through which an image is to be viewed made of plastic and spaced apart from the first substrate; a thin film transistor on an inner surface of the first substrate; a passivation layer covering the thin film transistor; a pixel electrode and a color filter layer, both on the first substrate, the pixel electrode being disposed on a surface of the passivation layer and connected to the thin film transistor through a contact hole, the color filter layer being located between the first substrate and the pixel electrode; a polarizer on an outer surface of the second substrate; a black matrix on an inner surface of the second substrate, and corresponding to the thin film transistor; a common electrode on the black matrix; and a liquid crystal layer between the pixel electrode and the common electrode; wherein the black matrix is disposed between the second substrate and the common electrode; and wherein a sum of a thickness of the second substrate and a thickness of the polarizer is substantially equal to a thickness of the first substrate.
