    Abstract: Liquid crystal display device (14) that has a color filter substrate (56) and a thin-film transistor substrate (58). A layer of liquid crystal material (52) is located between the color filter substrate (56) and the thin-film transistor substrate (58). Column spacers (122) are formed on the color filter substrate (56) to maintain a desired gap between the color filter substrate (56) and the thin-film transistor substrate (58). Support pads (130) used to support the column spacers (12) are formed on the thin-film transistor substrate (58). The column spacers (122) and support pads (130) have comparable thicknesses in order to avoid damage of surface layers of the substrates (56, 58) by scratching in case of misalignment between some of the column spacers (122) and support pads (130).

    Abstract: A display may have a layer of liquid crystal material between a color filter layer and a thin-film transistor layer. Column spacer structures may be formed between the color filter layer and the thin-film transistor layer to maintain a desired separation between the color filter and thin-film transistor layers. The column spacer structures may be formed from polymer structures such as photoresist pillars and may include metal pads. The metal pads may be formed on the upper surface of the thin-film transistor layer or the lower surface of the color filter layer. The photoresist pillars may be formed on a surface in the display such as the lower surface of the color filter layer. Column spacer structures may include main spacer structures, subspacer structures, and intermediate thickness spacer structures to enhance pooling mura and light leakage performance.

    Abstract: Electrical shield line systems are provided for openings (829) between common electrodes (813, 815) near data lines (807) of display and touch screens (800). Some displays, including touch screens, can include multiple common electrodes (Vcom, 813, 815) that can have openings (829) between individual Vcoms (813, 815). Some display screens can have an open slit (829) between two adjacent edges of Vcom (813, 815). Openings (829) in Vcom (813, 815) can allow an electric field (831) to extend from a data line (807) through the Vcom layer (813, 815). A shield (833) can be disposed over the Vcom opening (829) to help reduce or eliminate an electric field from affecting a pixel material, such as liquid crystal (827). The shield (833) can be connected to a potential such that electric field is generated substantially between the shield (833) and the data line (807) to reduce or eliminate electric fields reaching the liquid crystal (827).
