Patent ID: 8174659

Claim:
A color filter substrate comprising: a plurality of unit pixels arrayed two-dimensionally in a matrix, each of the unit pixels comprising: a plurality of sub-pixels including a first sub-pixel having a first color, a second sub-pixel adjacent to the first sub-pixel and having a second color different from the first color, and a third sub-pixel having a third color different from the first and second colors and being disposed adjacent to the second sub-pixel so that the second sub-pixel is disposed between the first and third sub-pixels, each of the first, second and third sub-pixels being configured with a different shape from one another such that the first, second and third sub-pixels form a preselected engagement pattern via which the second sub-pixel engages the adjacent first sub-pixel and the third sub-pixel engages the adjacent second sub-pixel, and the first, second and third sub-pixels of a first one of the plurality of unit pixels having a different planar shape from the respective first, second and third sub-pixels of a second one of the plurality of unit pixels; and a plurality of transparent electrodes electrically insulated from one another and including a first transparent electrode formed on and having substantially the same planar shape as that of the first sub-pixel, a second transparent electrode formed on and having substantially the same planar shape as that of the second sub-pixel, and a third transparent electrode formed on and having substantially the same planar shape as that of the third sub-pixel.
