Patent ID: 8643629

Claim:
A liquid crystal display device with a touch activated control, comprising: a color filter substrate, comprising: a first transparent substrate; a first transflective conductive layer formed on the first transparent substrate for sensing touch signals, the periphery of the first transflective conductive layer being provided with peripheral electrodes; a spacer layer formed on and in direct contact with the first transflective conductive layer and comprising multiple first regions, second regions, and third regions that are distinguished from one another according to their respective thicknesses, wherein each first region, each second region and each third region overlap a red pixel portion, a green pixel portion and a blue pixel portion of a pixel, respectively; a second transflective conductive layer formed on the spacer layer; a flattened insulating layer formed on the second transflective conductive layer; and a common electrode formed on the flattened insulating layer; and an active matrix substrate, comprising: a second transparent substrate; multiple active devices and multiple pixel electrodes formed on the second transparent substrate; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the color filter substrate and the active matrix substrate.
