Patent ID: 8325301

Claim:
A liquid crystal display (LCD) device, comprising: a substrate having a plurality of unit pixels, wherein each unit pixel includes a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel; a plurality of black matrix elements, each black matrix element being disposed at each interface between the red, green and blue sub-pixels; red, green, and blue color filters that are respectively disposed at the red, green and blue sub-pixels a plurality of barriers disposed in the substrate such that each barrier comes into contact with a corresponding black matrix element, the plurality of barriers including at least two barriers that are disposed on matrix elements at interfaces that are one unit pixels apart without any intervening barriers in-between, and the plurality of barriers including at least two barriers that are disposed on matrix elements at interfaces that are two unit pixels apart without having any intervening barriers in-between; wherein each barrier comes into contact with a corresponding black matrix element such that both the barrier and corresponding black matrix element overlap over at least two color filters.
