Abstract
A black matrix, a preparation method thereof and a display device employing the black matrix. The black matrix which is a black coating layer surrounding pixels of the display device, includes SiO which is a dielectric material and at least one metal selected from the group consisting of iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V) and titanium (Ti). The black matrix has excellent thermal and chemical stability and is environmentally desirous by using a mixture of a nontoxic metal and a dielectric material. Also, the black matrix exhibits excellent adhesion to a substrate without an annealing process, is excellent in mechanical characteristic due to the absence of internal stress and is capable of being micro-patterned to have a particle size of 1 &mgr;m or less. When applied to the substrate of the display device, the black matrix exhibits excellent external light absorbing effect. Therefore, a display device having improved luminance and contrast characteristics can be attained.
