The present invention, however, may be modified in various different ways, and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Like reference numerals may designate like or similar elements throughout the specification and the drawings. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be understood that when an element such as a layer, film, region, or substrate is referred to as being “on,” “connected to,” “coupled to,” or “adjacent to” another element, it can be directly on, connected, coupled, or adjacent to the other element or intervening elements may also be present.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a thin film transistor array panel according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, a thin film transistor array panel according to an exemplary embodiment includes a gate line (not shown) and a storage electrode 131 formed on an insulation substrate 110. The gate line includes a gate electrode. A gate insulating layer 140 covers the gate line and the storage electrode 131. A semiconductor layer 151, a data line 171, and a drain electrode (not shown) are disposed on the gate insulating layer 140. The semiconductor layer 151 may be disposed under the data line 171 and the drain electrode. The data line 171 includes a source electrode (not shown). The gate electrode, the source electrode, the drain electrode, and a portion of the semiconductor layer 151 form a thin film transistor.
A color filter 230 is disposed on the data line 171 and the gate insulating layer 140. Color filters 230 of different colors are disposed at left and right sides with respect to the data line 171, and the color filters 230 of the different colors overlap each other on the data line 171.
An overcoat layer 30 is disposed on the color filter 230, and a pixel electrode 191 and a shielding electrode 88 are disposed on the overcoat layer 30. The color filter 230 and the overcoat layer 30 may have a contact hole (not shown) exposing the drain electrode, and the pixel electrode 191 is electrically connected to the drain electrode through the contact hole thereby receiving a data voltage.
The shielding electrode 88 is disposed on a portion corresponding to the data line 171, is separated from the pixel electrode 191, and may be electrically floating or may be applied with a predetermined voltage such as a common voltage.
The shielding electrode 88 is formed of a low reflection material having low reflectivity. The low reflection material according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may have a triple structure, as shown in FIG. 1. The shielding electrode 88 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a first electrode layer 88a, a second electrode layer 88b disposed on the first electrode layer 88a, and a third electrode layer 88c disposed on the second electrode layer 88b. 
The first electrode layer 88a may be made of copper (Cu), and a thickness of the first electrode layer 88a may be in a range from about 500 Å to about 1000 Å. When the thickness of the first electrode layer 88a is thinner, light may be transmitted through the first electrode layer 88a, and thus, the first electrode layer 88a cannot function as a light blocking member. The shielding electrode 88 may function as a light blocking member, and thus, a separate light blocking member might not be formed.
The second electrode layer 88b may be made of a transparent conductive material, such as IZO, ZnO, GZO, ZIO, and ZAO, and a thickness of the second electrode layer 88b may be in a range from about 400 Å to about 1000 Å.
The third electrode layer 88c may be made of titanium (Ti), and a thickness of the third electrode layer 88c may be in a range from about 70 Å to about 200 Å. In this thickness range, the titanium layer 88c may have a transflective characteristic.
The shielding electrode 88 has low reflectivity because the second electrode layer 88b and the third electrode layer 88c block light reflected by the first electrode layer 88a that is formed of copper, and thus, a deterioration of a contrast ratio due to the reflection of external light that penetrates into the thin film transistor array panel may be prevented. As such, light coming to the inside of the display panel is blocked by using the shielding electrode 88 in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, thus preventing a deterioration of the contrast ratio of the display panel and eliminating the need for a light blocking member.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the shielding electrode 88 includes the first electrode layer 88a, the second electrode layer 88b, and the third electrode layer 88c, however exemplary embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Alternatively, a single layer or a deposition layer having as high reflectivity as the triple-layered shielding electrode may be used. A HASTELLOY® alloy may be included in the single layer or the deposition layer.
FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 are views sequentially showing a method of manufacturing a shielding electrode according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, a gate line (not shown) including a gate electrode and a storage electrode 131 are formed on an insulation substrate 110, and a gate insulating layer 140 covers the gate line and the storage electrode 131. A semiconductor layer 151, a data line 171, and a drain electrode (not shown) are formed on the gate insulating layer 140.
The semiconductor layer 151 is formed under the data line 171 including the source electrode and the drain electrode. The gate electrode, the source electrode, the drain electrode, and the portion of the semiconductor layer 151 form a thin film transistor.
Color filters 230 of different colors are formed at the right and left side with respect to the data line 171 on the gate insulating layer 140 and the data line 171, and the color filters 230 of the different colors overlap each other on the data line 171.
An overcoat layer 30 is formed on the color filter 230. A pixel electrode 191 and a shielding electrode 88 are formed on the overcoat layer 30. The color filter 230 and the overcoat layer 30 may have a contact hole (not shown) exposing the drain electrode. The pixel electrode 191 is electrically connected to the drain electrode and receives a data voltage.
A first metal electrode layer 88a, a second electrode layer 88b, and a third electrode layer 88c are sequentially formed on the overcoat layer 30.

    
    
        The first electrode layer 88a may be formed of copper (Cu), and the thickness of the first electrode layer 88a may be in a range from about 500 Å to about 1000 Å.
    
    


The second electrode layer [[80b]]88b may be formed of a transparent conductive material including IZO, ZnO, GZO, ZIO, and ZAO, and the thickness of the second electrode layer 88b may be in a range from about 400 Å to about 1000 Å.
The third electrode layer 88c may be formed of titanium (Ti), and the thickness of the third electrode layer 88c may be in a range from about 70 Å to about 200 Å.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the shielding electrode 88 includes the first electrode layer 88a, the second electrode layer 88b, and the third electrode layer 88c. However, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Alternatively, a single layer or a deposition layer having as high reflectivity as the shielding electrode of the triple layer may be used. A HASTELLOY® alloy may be included in the single layer or deposition layer.
Referring to FIG. 3, the first electrode layer 88a, the second electrode layer 88b, and the third electrode layer 88c are etched by using an etchant, thus forming the shielding electrode 88. The shielding electrode 88 includes the first electrode layer 88a, the second electrode layer 88b disposed on the first electrode layer 88a, and the third electrode layer 88c disposed on the second electrode layer 88b. 
The etchant may be a titanium etchant or a copper etchant.
Referring to FIG. 4, an IZO layer is formed on the shielding electrode 88 and the overcoat layer 30, as shown in FIG. 1. The IZO layer on the shielding electrode 88 and the overcoat layer 30 is etched, forming a pixel electrode 191.
The etching of the IZO layer may be performed by using an IZO etchant.
The titanium etchant or the copper etchant etches the IZO layer. The IZO etchant does not affect the titanium layer and the copper layer, and thus, the shielding electrode 88 is formed and then the pixel electrode 191 is formed.
FIG. 5 is an equivalent circuit diagram of one pixel of a liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 5, one pixel PX of the liquid crystal display according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of signal lines including a gate line GL for transferring a gate signal, a data line DL for transferring a data signal, and a storage electrode line RL for transferring a divided reference voltage, first, second, and third switching elements Qa, Qb, and Qc connected to the plurality of signal lines, and first and second liquid crystal capacitors Clca and Clcb.
The first and second switching elements Qa and Qb are connected to the gate line GL and the data line DL, respectively, and the third switching element Qc is connected to an output terminal of the second switching element Qb and the storage electrode line RL.
The first switching element Qa and the second switching element Qb are three-terminal elements such as thin film transistors, and the first and second switching elements Qa and Qb have control terminals connected to the gate line GL and input terminals connected to the data line DL. An output terminal of the first switching element Qa is connected to the first liquid crystal capacitor Clca, and an output terminal of the second switching element Qb is connected to the input terminals of the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb and the third switching element Qc.
The third switching element Qc may be a three-terminal element such as a thin film transistor, and the third switching element Qc has a control terminal connected to the gate line GL, an input terminal connected to the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb, and an output terminal connected to the storage electrode line RL.
When a gate-on signal is applied to the gate line GL, the first switching element Qa, the second switching element Qb, and the third switching element Qc which are connected to the gate line GL are turned on. Thus, a data voltage is applied via the data line DL to a first subpixel electrode PEa and a second subpixel electrode PEb through the turned-on first switching element Qa and second switching element Qb. In this case, the data voltages applied to the first subpixel electrode PEa and the second subpixel electrode PEb are the same, and the first liquid crystal capacitor Clca and the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb are charged with a difference voltage between the common voltage and the data voltage. Substantially simultaneously, the charged voltage in the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb is divided through the turned-on third switching element Qc. Thus, a charged voltage in the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb is decreased by a difference between the common voltage and the divided reference voltage. For example, the charged voltage in the first liquid crystal capacitor Clca is higher than the charged voltage in the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb.
As such, the charged voltage in the first liquid crystal capacitor Clca and the charged voltage in the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb are different from each other. The voltage of the first liquid crystal capacitor Clca and the voltage of the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb are different from each other, and thus, the tilting angle of liquid crystal molecules in the first subpixel is rendered different from the tilting angles of liquid crystal molecules in the second subpixel. The luminance of the first subpixel is accordingly rendered different from the luminance of the second subpixel. Accordingly, by controlling the voltage of the first liquid crystal capacitor Clca and the voltage of the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb, an image viewed from the side of the liquid crystal display may be rendered similar to an image viewed from the front of the liquid crystal display, thus increasing side visibility.
The third switching element Qc is connected to the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb and the storage electrode line RL, and thus, the voltage charged in the first liquid crystal capacitor Clca is rendered different from the voltage charged in the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb. Alternatively, the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb may be connected to a step-down capacitor. For example, the third switching element may include a first terminal connected to a step-down gate line, a second terminal connected to the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb, and a third terminal connected to the step-down capacitor, and, a portion of the electric charge charged in the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb may be charged in the step-down capacitor. Accordingly, the voltage charged in the first liquid crystal capacitor Clcb may be rendered different from the voltage charged in the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb. In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first liquid crystal capacitor Clcb and the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb may be connected to different data lines, respectively, and receive different data voltages, respectively. Accordingly, the voltage charged in the first liquid crystal capacitor Clcb may be rendered different from the voltage charged in the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb. However, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Various methods may be used to make the voltage charged in the first liquid crystal capacitor Clcb different from the voltage charged in the second liquid crystal capacitor Clcb.

The shielding electrode 88 may receive a common voltage and may block electrical interference between the data line 171 and the pixel electrode 191 and between the data line 171 and the common electrode 270, and thus, a voltage distortion of the pixel electrode 191 and the signal delay of the data voltage transmitted by the data line 171 may be reduced.
The thin film transistor array panel according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes the shielding electrode instead of the light blocking member, and thus, a light leakage of the front viewing angle may be prevented.
