Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种像素结构,特别是涉及一种半穿透半反射像素结构。The present invention relates to a pixel structure, in particular to a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective pixel structure.
背景技术 Background technique
针对多媒体社会的急速进步,多半受惠于半导体组件或人机显示装置的飞跃性进步。就显示器而言,阴极射线管(cathode ray tube,CRT)因具有优异的显示品质与其经济性,一直独占近年来的显示器市场。然而,对于个人在桌上操作多数终端机/显示器装置的环境,或是以环保的观点切入,若以节省能源的潮流加以预测,阴极射线管因空间利用以及能源消耗上仍存在很多问题,而对于轻、薄、短、小以及低耗电功率的需求无法有效提供解决之道。因此,具有高画质、空间利用效率佳、低耗电功率、低辐射等优越特性的薄膜晶体管液晶显示器(TFT-LCD)已逐渐成为市场的主流。The rapid progress of the multimedia society is mostly due to the rapid progress of semiconductor components or man-machine display devices. As far as displays are concerned, cathode ray tubes (cathode ray tubes, CRTs) have been monopolizing the display market in recent years because of their excellent display quality and economical efficiency. However, for the environment where individuals operate most terminals/display devices on the table, or from the perspective of environmental protection, if the trend of energy saving is predicted, cathode ray tubes still have many problems in terms of space utilization and energy consumption, and There is no effective solution to the demands of lightness, thinness, shortness, smallness and low power consumption. Therefore, thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) with superior characteristics such as high image quality, good space utilization efficiency, low power consumption, and low radiation have gradually become the mainstream of the market.
一般液晶显示器可分为穿透式、反射式,以及半穿透半反射式三大类,其分类的依据在于光源的利用以及阵列基板(array)的差异。其中,穿透式液晶显示器主要是以背光源(back light)作为光源,其阵列基板上的像素电极为透明电极以利背光源穿透;反射式液晶显示器主要是以前光源(front light)或是外界光源作为光源,其阵列基板上的像素电极为金属或其它具有良好反射特性材质的反射电极,适于将前光源或是外界光源反射;而半穿透半反射式液晶显示器可同时利用背光源以及外界光源进行显示,其上的像素可区分为透射区与反射区,透射区上具有透明电极以利背光源穿透,而反射区上具有适于将外界光源反射的反射电极。Generally, liquid crystal displays can be classified into three categories: transmissive, reflective, and transflective. The classification is based on the utilization of light sources and differences in array substrates (arrays). Among them, the transmissive liquid crystal display mainly uses the back light as the light source, and the pixel electrodes on the array substrate are transparent electrodes to facilitate the penetration of the back light; the reflective liquid crystal display mainly uses the front light or the front light. The external light source is used as the light source, and the pixel electrodes on the array substrate are metal or other reflective electrodes with good reflective properties, which are suitable for reflecting the front light source or external light source; while the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective LCD can use the backlight source at the same time And external light source for display, the pixels on it can be divided into transmissive area and reflective area, the transmissive area has a transparent electrode to facilitate backlight penetration, and the reflective area has a reflective electrode suitable for reflecting the external light source.
图1示出了现有的一种双单元间距式(dual cell gap)的液晶显示单元的结构图。请参照图1,液晶显示单元100具有两个区域,分别为透射区T与反射区R,且包括一第一基板110、一薄膜晶体管120、一介电层130、一透明电极140、一反射电极150、一液晶层160、一间隔物170、一彩色滤光薄膜180以及一第二基板190。FIG. 1 shows a structure diagram of a conventional dual cell gap liquid crystal display unit. Please refer to FIG. 1, the liquid crystal display unit 100 has two regions, which are respectively the transmissive region T and the reflective region R, and includes a
其中,薄膜晶体管120配置于第一基板110之上;介电层130配置于薄膜晶体管120与第一基板110之上;透明电极140与反射电极150皆配置于介电层130之上,且分别位于透射区T与反射区R之中;彩色滤光薄膜180配置于第二基板190之下;液晶层160配置于透明电极140、反射电极150以及彩色滤光薄膜180之间;间隔物170则配置于透明电极140或反射电极150上,用以维持固定的单元间距。Wherein, the thin film transistor 120 is disposed on the
值得注意的是,透射区T的单元间距约为反射区R的单元间距的两倍。光线在反射区R进入液晶显示单元100至反射出液晶显示单元100的期间中,其所行经液晶层160的距离会相同于光线在透射区T穿过液晶显示单元100的期间所行经液晶层160的距离,因此反射区R的透射率与透射区T的透射率几乎相同。It should be noted that the cell pitch of the transmissive region T is approximately twice the cell pitch of the reflective region R. During the period when the light enters the liquid crystal display unit 100 in the reflective region R and is reflected from the liquid crystal display unit 100, the distance it travels through the liquid crystal layer 160 will be the same as the distance that the light travels through the liquid crystal layer 160 during the period when the light passes through the liquid crystal display unit 100 in the transmissive region T. Therefore, the transmittance of the reflective region R is almost the same as that of the transmissive region T.
图2示出了此种双单元间距式的液晶显示单元的透射率仿真图。请参照图2,由图2可以看出在不同外加电压条件下,反射区R与透射区T的透射率几乎相同。换言之,双单元间距式半穿透半反射液晶显示面板的显示品质较佳。然而,由于透射区T的单元间距与反射区R的单元间距不同,故透明电极140与反射电极150的交界处的高度差将导致局部区域的液晶配向不一致或是造成电场不均匀,进而造成双单元间距式半穿透半反射液晶显示面板漏光的问题。另外,透明电极140与反射电极150的交界处会造成双单元间距式半穿透半反射液晶显示面板的开口率(aperture ratio)降低。FIG. 2 shows a simulated diagram of the transmittance of such a liquid crystal display unit with a double cell pitch. Referring to FIG. 2 , it can be seen from FIG. 2 that under different applied voltage conditions, the transmittances of the reflective region R and the transmissive region T are almost the same. In other words, the display quality of the double cell pitch transflective liquid crystal display panel is better. However, since the cell pitch of the transmissive region T is different from that of the reflective region R, the height difference at the junction of the transparent electrode 140 and the reflective electrode 150 will lead to inconsistent alignment of the liquid crystal in a local area or an uneven electric field, resulting in double The problem of light leakage in the cell pitch semi-transmissive semi-reflective liquid crystal display panel. In addition, the junction of the transparent electrode 140 and the reflective electrode 150 will reduce the aperture ratio of the transflective liquid crystal display panel with double cell spacing.
图3示出了现有的一种单单元间距式(single cell gap)的液晶显示单元的结构图。请参照图3,液晶显示单元200与液晶显示单元100类似,不同之处在于:在液晶显示单元200中,透射区T的单元间距与反射区R的单元间距相同。由于透明电极240与反射电极250之间没有高度差,单单元间距式半穿透半反射液晶显示面板虽不会产生漏光或是开口率降低的问题,但是在同一驱动电压下,由于反射区R的透射率与透射区T的透射率不同,将造成单单元间距式半穿透半反射液晶显示面板的显示品质不佳。FIG. 3 shows a structure diagram of a conventional single cell gap liquid crystal display unit. Referring to FIG. 3 , the liquid
图4示出了此种单单元间距式的液晶显示单元的透射率仿真图。请参照图4,由图4可以看出在相同外加电压条件下,反射区R与透射区T的透射率相差甚多。由图3与图4可知,此种单单元间距式的液晶显示单元并无法充分兼顾反射区R的透射率以及透射区T的透射率。FIG. 4 shows a simulation diagram of the transmittance of such a liquid crystal display unit with a single cell pitch. Please refer to FIG. 4 . It can be seen from FIG. 4 that under the same applied voltage condition, the transmittances of the reflective region R and the transmissive region T are quite different. It can be seen from FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 that the liquid crystal display unit of the single cell pitch type cannot fully take into account the transmittance of the reflective region R and the transmittance of the transmissive region T. Referring to FIG.

请继续续参照图5E,当有源器件310处于开启状态,一外加电压Va会施加于上电极326,以使电容器Cst(T)的第一电极板(即上电极326或透明电极330)、电容器Clc(T)的第一电极板(即透明电极330)以及电容器Cst(R)的第一电极板(即上电极326)的电压皆为Va。由于电容器Cst(R)与电容器Clc(R)串连,因此电压差(Va-Vcom)需分配于这两个电容器Cst(R)、Clc(R)。如此,电容器Clc(R)的第一电极板(即浮置电极324或第一反射电极340)的电压值Vf将会不同于外加电压Va。若改变上电极326与浮置电极324的重叠面积的大小,可以调整Cst(R)的值,亦即电容器Clc(R)的第一电极板(即浮置电极324或第一反射电极340)的电压值Vf也会因此被调整。如上所述,藉由改变电压值Vf,可使反射区R的透射率接近透射区T的透射率。图5F示出了以本发明第一实施例的半穿透半反射像素结构所构成的液晶显示单元的透射率仿真图。请参照图5F,从图5F中,可以看出在相同的外加电压条件下,反射区R的透射率与透射区T的透射率相近。因此以本发明的半穿透半反射像素结构300所构成的单单元间距式半穿透半反射液晶显示面板的显示品质较佳。Please continue to refer to FIG. 5E, when the

与第一实施例相同地,若改变上电极526与浮置电极524的重叠面积的大小,可以调整Cst(R)的值,电容器Clc(R)的第一电极板(即浮置电极524或第一反射电极540a)的电压值Vf也会因此被调整。藉由改变电压值Vf,可使反射区R的透射率接近透射区T的透射率。另外,由于第二反射电极540b的配置,可以使反射区R的透射率更接近透射区T的透射率。图6F示出了以本发明第二实施例的半穿透半反射像素结构所构成的液晶显示单元的透射率仿真图。请参照图6F,从图6F可以看出,在相同的外加电压条件下,反射区R的透射率与透光区T的透射率更为相近。因此以本发明第二实施例的半穿透半反射像素制作的单单元间距式半穿透半反射液晶显示面板的显示品质更佳。Same as the first embodiment, if the size of the overlapping area of the
