本发明涉及一种液晶显示面板及其像素阵列结构,特别是涉及一种具有多个凸起的液晶显示面板及其像素阵列结构。The invention relates to a liquid crystal display panel and its pixel array structure, in particular to a liquid crystal display panel with a plurality of protrusions and its pixel array structure.
背景技术Background technique
现今社会多媒体技术相当发达,具有高画质、空间利用率高、低消耗功率、无辐射等优越特性的液晶显示器已逐渐成为市场的主流。其中,多域垂直配向式(multi-domain vertically alignment,MVA)液晶显示器为常见的一种广视角技术的液晶显示面板的应用。In today's society, multimedia technology is quite developed, and liquid crystal displays with superior characteristics such as high image quality, high space utilization, low power consumption, and no radiation have gradually become the mainstream of the market. Among them, a multi-domain vertically aligned (MVA) liquid crystal display is a common application of a liquid crystal display panel with a wide viewing angle technology.
以下以多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板的像素结构进行说明。图1A、图1B以及图1C所示为公知的三种多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板的像素结构。请先参考图1A,像素结构100A包括主动组件110以及与主动组件110电性连接的像素电极120,其中主动组件110电性连接扫描线130与数据线140。此外,像素结构100A中还包括一凸起150以使液晶显示面板中的液晶分子呈现多区域的配向,而达到广视角的显示效果。但是,在矩形像素电极120的对角线方向上,凸起150与像素电极120边缘的距离d较大。当像素结构100A被驱动时,像素电极120的对角线方向上电场变形程度较不明显,而较不易控制液晶分子的排列方向。因此,液晶分子若受到扰动后不易朝向正确的方向倾倒。举例来说,当液晶显示面板受到单点施压而使液晶分子混乱排列时,此处的液晶分子往往无法在短时间恢复正常的排列状态。The pixel structure of the multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display panel will be described below. FIG. 1A , FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C show the pixel structures of three known multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display panels. Please refer to FIG. 1A first, the
为了解决以上的问题,可以在像素电极120上形成沿着对角线方向延伸的狭缝,如图1B与图1C所示。请参考图1B与图1C,像素结构100B的像素电极120上具有位于像素电极120内的狭缝122,而像素结构100C的像素电极120中具有位于像素电极120边缘的狭缝124。狭缝122以及狭缝124可使像素电极120内对角线方向的电场增强,而提高液晶分子的反应速率。In order to solve the above problems, slits extending along the diagonal direction may be formed on the
可惜的是,像素结构100B中,在像素电极120内形成狭缝122虽有助于提高液晶分子的反应速率,但当距离d过大时,狭缝122的设计反而容易发生液晶分子的不连续,造成液晶分子倾倒方向的不确定。另外,像素结构100C的设计虽可提高液晶分子的反应速率,并有助于使液晶分子沿正确的倾倒方向排列,但狭缝124的设计会比狭缝122的设计牺牲更多的显示区开口率。简言之,这些方式都无法在维持良好显示区开口率的情形下,改善多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板显示效果。Unfortunately, in the

具体实施方式Detailed ways
由于公知的像素结构当中,矩形像素电极的设计在对角线方向上的液晶分子不易快速地做出正确的反应。本发明针对此问题提出解决方式,其中借助在相邻的电极区块之间配置不同形状的凸起,可使液晶分子倾向以特定方向排列。另外,本发明还提出将单一像素电极切割成多个电极区块。电极区块的中央到边缘区域间距离较小,而有助于增加电极区块边缘到电极区块中央的电场变形程度,进一步达到提高液晶分子反应速率的效果。以下将举出本发明的具体实施方式,但仅为举例说明,并非用以限定本发明。Due to the design of the rectangular pixel electrodes in the known pixel structure, the liquid crystal molecules in the diagonal direction are not easy to react quickly and correctly. The present invention proposes a solution to this problem, wherein by disposing protrusions of different shapes between adjacent electrode blocks, the liquid crystal molecules tend to be arranged in a specific direction. In addition, the present invention also proposes to cut a single pixel electrode into a plurality of electrode blocks. The distance between the center of the electrode block and the edge area is small, which helps to increase the degree of electric field deformation from the edge of the electrode block to the center of the electrode block, and further achieves the effect of increasing the reaction rate of the liquid crystal molecules. The specific embodiments of the present invention will be listed below, but they are only for illustration and not intended to limit the present invention.
第一实施例:图2A为本发明的第一实施例的液晶显示面板,而图2B为图2A的液晶显示面板的一种像素阵列结构的示意图。请参考图2A,液晶显示面板200包括第一基板210、第二基板220、液晶层230以及像素阵列结构240A。第一基板210包含多条扫描线212以及多条数据线214,而第二基板220包含一共享电极222。此外,液晶层230配置于第一基板210以及第二基板220之间。First Embodiment: FIG. 2A is a liquid crystal display panel according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of a pixel array structure of the liquid crystal display panel in FIG. 2A . Please refer to FIG. 2A , the liquid
请参考图2B,像素阵列结构240A包括多个像素单元250以及多个凸起260。多个像素单元250以数组方式排列并电性连接至所对应的扫描线212以及数据线214,且各像素单元250包括主动组件252以及像素电极254。像素电极254具有多个电极区块,并电性连接主动组件252。在图2B中,像素电极254例如是具有电极区块254a以及电极区块254b。另外,凸起260大体位于部分电极区块254a与电极区块254b的至少一交界区域B内。换句话说,凸起260是位于相邻的部分电极区块254a与电极区块254b之间。详细来说,交界区域B在本实施例中是指各个电极区块254a或电极区块254b与相邻的电极区块254a或电极区块254b之间的区域。更进一步来说,任两个左右或是上下相邻的电极区块(254a、254b)间会有一交界区域B,而任四个相邻并呈矩形分布的电极区块254a与电极区块254b之间也会有一交界区域B。Please refer to FIG. 2B , the
请同时参考图2A与图2B,位于任四个相邻并呈矩形分布的电极区块254a与电极区块254b之间的交界区域B内的每一凸起260例如是邻近于电极区块254a、254b的角落C,且凸起260例如为多个锥状凸起结构。进一步来说,凸起260例如是配置于数据线214上方且四个相邻的电极区块254a、254b例如是围绕在凸起260周边。另外,图2B所示的凸起260可以为圆锥状凸起结构、方锥状凸起结构、三角锥状凸起结构或是其它多角形的锥状凸起结构。Please refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B at the same time, each
根据液晶分子的物理特性,在有凸起260的情形之下,液晶分子会自行沿着凸起260边缘排列。因此,液晶显示面板200受到单点施压后,原本散乱排列的液晶分子会随着本身的物理特性而沿着凸起260边缘排列。本实施例中,凸起260对应于各个电极区块254a、254b的角落C旁,以自各个角落C影响液晶分子的排列方式。因此,液晶显示面板200受到单点施压后,原本散乱排列的液晶分子可快速的恢复原本的排列状态。进一步地说,凸块260的配置可使液晶显示面板200维持良好的显示质量。另一方面,凸起260在扫描线214上,其位置并非显示区域,所以凸起260周围的液晶分子若有排列方向不明确的现象也不会影响显示区的开口率。当然,凸起260也可以对应其它的遮光金属或是遮光层配置,以维持液晶显示面板的显示开口率。According to the physical properties of the liquid crystal molecules, in the case of the
请继续参考图2A与图2B,一般来说,当液晶显示面板200进行画面显示时,像素电极254会被施予电压。第一基板210与第二基板220之间的电压差在像素电极254所在处与像素电极254之外的区域不同。换句话说,像素电极254中央至像素电极254边缘的电场不一致,因而有助于使液晶层260的液晶分子随电场变化的方向排列。若像素电极254的面积越大,像素电极254中央至像素电极254边缘的电场变化率越小,而不易影响液晶分子的排列方式。因此,本发明的像素单元250中,像素电极254被区分成多个区块,可使各电极区块254a与电极区块254b的边缘处至中央的距离缩短。这样一来,当液晶显示面板200进行画面显示时,各电极区块254a、254b中央至边缘的电场变化率会提高而有助于控制液晶分子的排列方向,并使液晶分子的反应速率提高。Please continue to refer to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B , generally speaking, when the liquid
由图2B可知,各电极区块254a以及电极区块254b例如具有多个边角θ,且各边角θ约大于等于90°且小于180°。举例来说,电极区块254a的边角θ为90°,也就是构成一矩形,而电极区块254b的边角θ大于90°,例如构成一多边形。电极区块254b的多边形设计,例如是将一个矩形削去四个角,以使电极区块254b自中央到边缘在矩形对角线方向上的距离缩短。因此,电极区块254b自中央到边缘在矩形对角线方向上的电场变化率会被提高。也就是说,多边形设计的电极区块254b也有助于提高液晶分子的反应速率。本实施例的液晶显示面板200中,不须在各像素电极254中配置狭缝就可以有效提高液晶分子的反应速率以及使液晶分子具有正确的排列方式。因此,本发明的液晶显示面板200可以在不影响显示开口率的前提之下,保持良好的显示质量。It can be seen from FIG. 2B that each electrode block 254 a and
此外,像素电极254还具有一连接区块256用于连接同一像素单元250中两相邻的电极区块254a与电极区块254b。电极区块254a以及电极区块254b可以是透明电极、反射电极或上述组合。当电极区块254a以及电极区块254b都为透明电极时,连接区块256也可以是透明电极,而当电极区块254a或电极区块254b其中之一为透明电极,而另一为反射电极时,则连接区块256可以是反射电极或是透明电极。另外,当电极区块254a以及电极区块254b其中之一为反射电极时,主动组件252例如可以配置于反射电极下方,以提高液晶显示面板200的显示区开口率。In addition, the
但是,本实施例并不限定像素电极254仅可具有两个电极区块,也就是电极区块254a与电极区块254b。举例来说,图2C所示的像素阵列结构240B中,各像素电极254可以具有三个电极区块,即电极区块254a、电极区块254b以及电极区块254c。同时,各像素电极254中每两相邻电极区块间(电极区块254a与电极区块254b之间以及电极区块254b与电极区块254c之间)都具有一连接区块256,以相互连接。在其它实施例中,各像素单元250也可以具有更多个电极区块。当像素电极254被区分成多块电极区块时,各电极区块的中央至边缘的距离就越小,可提高电场变化率以使液晶分子反应速率更加提高。However, this embodiment does not limit the
图2D为沿图2A的剖线I-I’所示的液晶显示面板。请参考图2D,液晶显示面板200还包括多个配置于第二基板220上的凸起结构224。同时,凸起结构224例如是对应各电极区块254a中央。实际上,凸起结构224例如是一个凸块(protrution),且凸起结构224可以对应于每个电极区块的中央。液晶显示面板200中,凸起结构224可使电极区块254a内的液晶分子排列成多个配向方向而达到广视角的效果。同时,为了多彩化的显示效果,液晶显示面板200还包括彩色滤光膜226,其配置于第二基板220上。FIG. 2D is a liquid crystal display panel shown along the section line I-I' of FIG. 2A. Please refer to FIG. 2D , the liquid
此外,在其它实施例中,可以使共享电极222具有多个开口(图中未示),并且各开口(图中未示)对应各电极区块254a、254b的中央,即图2D中凸起结构224的位置,以开口取代图2D中的凸起结构224,以使电极区块254a内的液晶分子呈现多区域配向进而达到广视角的显示效果。更具体的说,液晶显示面板200中还可以配置有多个间隙物(spacer)(图中未示)以维持第一基板210与第二基板220之间的距离,也就是晶穴间隙。间隙物(图中未示)例如是球状间隙物或是光刻胶间隙物等,且间隙物例如可以配置在扫描线212或是数据线214上方,以避免影响开口率。另外,当电极区块254a、254b的其中一个为反射电极时,间隙物也可以配置于反射电极上方。In addition, in other embodiments, the shared
第二实施例:当然,本发明所提出的液晶显示面板不限定于具有上述实施例中所述的像素阵列结构。实际上,应用于本发明的液晶显示面板的像素阵列结构还可以有多种不同的型态。图3为本发明的第二实施例的像素阵列结构。请参考图3,本实施例的像素阵列结构340与第一实施例的像素阵列结构240A大致相同。其不同之处在于:像素阵列结构340中,对应电极区块254a、254b的角落C配置的凸起360为多个十字型凸起结构(cross protrudingstructure)。Embodiment 2: Of course, the liquid crystal display panel proposed by the present invention is not limited to having the pixel array structure described in the above embodiments. Actually, the pixel array structure applied to the liquid crystal display panel of the present invention can also have many different types.

如图3所示,凸起360例如是位于四个相邻并呈矩形排列的电极区块254a与电极区块254b之间,且各十字型凸起结构具有与数据线214平行的一垂直部360a以及与数据线214垂直的一水平部360b。垂直部360a与水平部360b例如是自各角落C延伸至两相邻的电极区块254a与电极区块254b之间的交界区域B。垂直部360a与水平部360b可使液晶分子沿着凸起360周围排列而向各电极区块254a与电极区块254b中央倾倒。因此,应用像素阵列结构340于液晶显示面板时,十字型凸起结构的凸起360有助于影响液晶分子的排列方向。换句话说,应用像素阵列结构340可使液晶显示面板中液晶分子的反应速率提高,并且当液晶分子受到扰动而散乱后,液晶分子会受到凸起360的影响而快速的恢复原先的排列方向。此外,像素阵列结构360中,电极区块254a与电极区块254b可以根据不同设计需求而分别是矩形或是多边形。更进一步来说,像素电极254也可以具有三个或是三个以上的电极区块。As shown in FIG. 3 , the
第三实施例:在本发明中,像素电极被区分成多个电极区块,为了调整同一像素电极的电极区块与电极区块间交界区域上液晶分子的倾倒方向,本实施例提出另一种凸起配置的方式。Embodiment 3: In the present invention, the pixel electrode is divided into a plurality of electrode blocks. In order to adjust the tilting direction of the liquid crystal molecules on the boundary area between the electrode block and the electrode block of the same pixel electrode, this embodiment proposes another A raised configuration.
图4A所示为本发明的第三实施例的像素阵列结构的示意图。请参考图4A,像素阵列结构440A与像素结构240A大致相同,只是像素阵列结构440A的各像素单元450中,凸起460A例如是位于两相邻的电极区块454a以及电极区块454b的交界区域B中央。此外,各像素单元450所对应的扫描线212例如位于各像素单元450的两相邻电极区块454a以及电极区块454b之间。其中,电极区块454a例如是反射电极而电极区块454b例如是透明电极。FIG. 4A is a schematic diagram of a pixel array structure according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 4A , the
图4B为沿扫描线212的延伸方向绘示的图4A的像素单元450的剖面图,而图4C为图4A的像素单元450沿剖线II-II’的剖面图。请同时参考图4B与图4C,同一像素单元450中,两相邻电极区块454a与电极区块454b之间的凸起460A例如为一锥状凸起结构。此外,连接电极456例如是覆盖于凸起460A上,并且连接电极456例如是透明电极。此外,共通电极216与该扫描线212平行设置。FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view of the
当像素单元450应用于液晶显示面板时,液晶分子会沿着凸起460A周围排列。因此,位于凸起460A周围并接近电极区块454a的液晶分子会朝向电极区块454a中央倾斜,而接近电极区块454b的液晶分子则会朝向电极区块454b中央倾斜。换句话说,凸起460A可以使连接电极456周围的液晶分子具有向电极区块454a或电极区块454b中央倾倒的倾向,而有助于维持液晶显示面板的显示质量。When the
在其它实施例中,若像素阵列结构440A应用于液晶显示面板时,多条共通电极216也可配置于像素阵列基板上,并使各共通电极216对应配置于各像素单元450的两相邻电极区块454a以及电极区块454b之间。也就是说,在其它实施例中,共通电极216例如可以配置于凸起460A之下并平行扫描线212。另外,液晶分子会沿着凸起460A周围排列,而可能造成凸起460A所在位置有漏光现象,因此,凸起460A上的连接区块456可以是反射电极。换句话说,电极区块454a、电极区块454b以及连接区块456例如可都是反射电极、透明电极,或是反射电极与透明电极的组合。In other embodiments, if the
另外,同一像素单元450中位于两相邻电极区块254a与电极区块254b间的凸起460A不限定为一锥状凸起结构。图5与图6所示为本发明第三实施例的另两种凸起的示意图。请参考图5与图6,在像素阵列结构440B以及像素阵列结构440C中,凸起460B与凸起460C可以是呈现条状结构的凸条。凸起460B例如是位于像素单元450内并位于扫瞄线212上方但与数据线214不相交,而凸条状的凸起460C例如是横越多条数据线214并跨越多个像素单元450。在此,凸起460B、凸条状的凸起460C与锥状的凸起460A同样具有辅助液晶分子排列的作用。进一步来说,本实施例的凸起460A、460B与460C可以与第一、二实施例中所述的凸起260、360共同配置于同一个像素阵列结构当中。In addition, the
综上所述,本发明的像素阵列结构与液晶显示面板至少具有以下所述的优点。本发明的液晶显示面板及像素阵列结构中,凸起的配置有助于导正液晶分子的排列方向,并使液晶分子被扰乱后可快速恢复正确的排列方向。同时,凸起位于电极区块的至少一交界区域可避免液晶显示面板的显示区开口率受到影响。另外,本发明利用多个电极区块的组合以构成一像素电极,可使电极边缘至中央的距离缩短,而增加电场变化率以提高液晶分子的反应速率。因此,本发明的液晶显示面板受到单点施压后,液晶分子可以快速地恢复正常的排列状态而使液晶显示面板维持良好的显示质量。In summary, the pixel array structure and the liquid crystal display panel of the present invention have at least the following advantages. In the liquid crystal display panel and the pixel array structure of the present invention, the configuration of the protrusions helps to guide the arrangement direction of the liquid crystal molecules, and enables the liquid crystal molecules to quickly restore the correct arrangement direction after being disturbed. At the same time, the protrusion is located in at least one boundary region of the electrode block to prevent the aperture ratio of the display area of the liquid crystal display panel from being affected. In addition, the present invention uses a combination of multiple electrode blocks to form a pixel electrode, which can shorten the distance from the edge of the electrode to the center, and increase the rate of change of the electric field to increase the reaction rate of liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, after the liquid crystal display panel of the present invention is subjected to a single point of pressure, the liquid crystal molecules can quickly return to a normal alignment state so that the liquid crystal display panel can maintain good display quality.
