Patent ID: 7560314

Claim:
A method for fabricating an active array color filter structure, comprising the steps of: a. providing an active array substrate having a plurality of switch elements arranged into a matrix; b. performing a surface treatment on the active array substrate to form a plurality of lipophobic areas thereon which repel ink; c. coating at least one ink on a surface of the active array substrate which includes the plurality of lipophobic areas, to form a plurality of color filter pixels; d. forming at least one contact via corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of lipophobic areas within each of the plurality of color filter pixels and through the respective ones of the plurality of lipophobic areas which repel the at least one ink; and e. forming a plurality of pixel electrodes, one each on respective ones of the plurality of color filter pixels with respective ones of the at least one contact via, wherein each pixel electrode of the plurality of pixel electrodes is electrically coupled with a corresponding switch element through a corresponding contact via, respectively.
