Patent ID: 8455046

Claim:
A fabricating method of a color filter array substrate, comprising the steps of: forming a black matrix that defines pixel areas on a substrate; forming a color filter in the pixel areas; coating a transparent resin over the substrate where the color filter is formed; aligning a soft mold having a groove and a flat surface to an upper part of the substrate where the transparent resin is formed; and simultaneously forming an overcoat layer and a rib by molding the transparent resin with the soft mold, the rib being formed for each pixel area so that an arrangement direction of a liquid crystal is adjusted to be in a plurality of directions, wherein the overcoat layer has a flat surface corresponding to the flat surface of the soft mold, and wherein the rib overlaps the color filter and projects, from the flat surface of the overcoat layer, corresponding to the groove of the soft mold.
