技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种显示装置,且特别涉及一种液晶显示面板。The invention relates to a display device, and in particular to a liquid crystal display panel.
背景技术Background technique
近年来,对于薄膜晶体管液晶显示面板(thin film transistor liquid crystaldisplay,TFT-LCD)的性能要求是朝向高对比度(high contrast ratio)、无灰阶反转(no gray scale inversion)、小色移(little color shift)、高亮度(highluminance)、高色彩丰富度、高色饱和度、快速反应与广视角等方向发展。In recent years, the performance requirements for thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) are towards high contrast ratio, no gray scale inversion, and little color shift. color shift), high brightness (high luminance), high color richness, high color saturation, fast response and wide viewing angle.
目前能够达成广视角要求的技术有扭转向列型液晶(TN)加上广视角膜(wide viewing film)、共平面切换式(in-plane switching,IPS)液晶显示面板、边际场切换式(fringe field switching,FFS)液晶显示面板与多域垂直配向式(multi-domain vertically alignment,MVA)液晶显示面板等方式。At present, the technologies that can meet the requirements of wide viewing angle include twisted nematic liquid crystal (TN) plus wide viewing film (wide viewing film), in-plane switching (IPS) LCD panel, fringe field switching (fringe field switching (FFS) liquid crystal display panel and multi-domain vertical alignment (multi-domain vertically aligned, MVA) liquid crystal display panel, etc.
以多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板而言,其例如是在像素电极上形成多个条状狭缝(slit),并在相对的彩色滤光阵列基板上配置多个条状凸起物(protrusion),以通过狭缝与突起物的搭配,使得液晶层内的液晶分子呈现多方向的倾倒,而达到广视角显示的效果。For a multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display panel, for example, a plurality of strip-shaped slits (slits) are formed on the pixel electrodes, and a plurality of strip-shaped protrusions (protrusions) are arranged on the opposite color filter array substrate. ), through the combination of the slit and the protrusion, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer are tilted in multiple directions, so as to achieve the effect of wide viewing angle display.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , the conventional multi-domain vertical alignment liquid
如图1所示,为了增加多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板100的视角,通常会在像素电极160中形成数个条状狭缝162,并在对应的对向基板120上配置多个凸起物172。如此,通过条状狭缝162与条状凸起物172间的电场分布,可以使得液晶层130中的液晶分子呈现多方向的倾倒,进而达到增加多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板100的视角范围的效果。As shown in FIG. 1 , in order to increase the viewing angle of the multi-domain vertical alignment liquid
此外,关于多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板的反应速度,Fujitsu公司在2001年信息显示协会(SID,Society For Information Display)所发表的信息中有所描述,文中提出多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板模拟亮度的相关信息。下文将针对Fujitsu公司所提出的多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板的像素与模拟亮度作说明。In addition, regarding the response speed of the multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display panel, Fujitsu Corporation described it in the information published by the Society For Information Display (SID, Society For Information Display) in 2001. The paper proposed that the multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display panel Information about simulated brightness. The following will describe the pixels and simulated luminance of the multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display panel proposed by Fujitsu.
图2A为现有技术一种多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板的部分像素俯视图。如图2A所示,凸起物172配置于对应的像素电极160上方,而图2B为图2A的亮态光学模拟的结果。由图2B可知,位于图2B的中央以及两侧的凸起物172附近呈现明显的暗区,致使多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板的整体亮度无法进一步提升。FIG. 2A is a top view of some pixels of a multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display panel in the prior art. As shown in FIG. 2A , the
此外,凸起物172的制作需要额外增加一道光掩模工艺,因而造成生产成本与材料成本的增加。另外,位于凸起物172周围的液晶分子易受凸起物172影响而倾倒排列,使得多域垂直配向式液晶显示面板在暗态时容易发生漏光,导致对比度下降。In addition, the fabrication of the

值得注意的是,不同于现有技术利用凸起物172(示于图1)使得液晶层呈现数个不同倾倒方向的配向领域,本发明是利用第一像素电极260的第一狭缝262与第二像素电极280的第二狭缝282之间的配置关系来达到广视角显示的效果。详言之,图5为像素被驱动时沿图4的剖面线A-A′的电场分布图。请参照图5,当像素250被驱动时,位于第一狭缝262与第二狭缝282的周围会产生斜向电场E,使得上方对应的液晶层230被划分成数个配向领域,并使液晶分子沿着斜向电场E的方向倾倒,进而使得液晶显示面板200呈现广视角的效果。因此,本发明不需额外使用广视角膜或制作凸起物,能够降低生产成本与材料成本。It is worth noting that, unlike the prior art which uses protrusions 172 (shown in FIG. 1 ) to make the liquid crystal layer exhibit several different tilting directions, the present invention utilizes the
为具体说明本发明液晶显示面板的显示效果,图6A为本发明一种液晶显示面板的部分俯视图,而图6B为图6A的亮态光学模拟的结果。请先参照图6A,第一像素电极260的第一狭缝262与第二像素电极280的第二狭缝282实质上彼此对准,且第一狭缝262的宽度262D小于第二狭缝282的宽度282D。接着,请参考图6B,本发明的液晶显示面板的亮态光学模拟亮度与现有技术的亮态光学模拟亮度(示于图2B)相比有显著提升。To specifically illustrate the display effect of the liquid crystal display panel of the present invention, FIG. 6A is a partial top view of a liquid crystal display panel of the present invention, and FIG. 6B is the optical simulation result of the bright state of FIG. 6A. Please refer to FIG. 6A first, the
为了使液晶显示器的显示品质进一步提升,设计者可依色移调整需求来调整第一狭缝262与第二狭缝282的数量、位置、形状以及配置位置。举例而言,在图4中,第一狭缝262与第二狭缝282的延伸方向与扫描线242的延伸方向夹角为θ1,此时像素250上方对应的液晶层230以角度θ1沿着第一狭缝262与第二狭缝282倾倒,且大体划分出多个与扫描线242夹角为θ1的配向领域。当然,第一狭缝262的延伸方向也可以实质上平行于扫描线242的延伸方向,而第二狭缝282的延伸方向实质上平行于数据线244的延伸方向,如图7A所示,此时,像素250上方的液晶层230的数个配向领域则会大体上平行于扫描线242与数据线244的延伸方向。在本实施例中,液晶层230中的液晶材料是以向列型液晶为例,而液晶层230的晶穴间距例如介于250纳米至400纳米之间。当然,液晶材料也可以是其他种类的液晶。In order to further improve the display quality of the liquid crystal display, the designer can adjust the quantity, position, shape and arrangement position of the
实际上,图7B为图7A中液晶显示面板对应于B-B′剖面线的剖面图。请参照图7B,本发明的第二像素电极280例如通过介电层270的开口H与第一像素电极260电性连接,其制作方式例如是在有源元件252(示于图7A)的金属层M形成之后,例如作为漏极金属层,在部分有源元件252(示于图7A)的金属层M上形成第一像素电极260,因此第一像素电极260通过金属层M电性连接至有源元件252。接着,形成具有开口H的介电层270。接下来,再形成第二像素电极280。如此,当像素250被驱动时,第一像素电极260与第二像素电极280将具有相同电位,并可在第一狭缝262与第二狭缝282的周围形成斜向电场E(示于图5),使得对应的液晶层230呈现数个不同的配向领域,以增加液晶显示面板的视角范围。In fact, FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view of the liquid crystal display panel corresponding to the section line B-B' in FIG. 7A. Please refer to FIG. 7B , the
值得注意的是,斜向电场E的强度将是加快液晶显示面板的反应速度的关键。在本发明中,设计者可依选用液晶材料的特性,调整第一狭缝262的宽度、第二狭缝282的宽度、介电层270的厚度以及介电层270的介电系数,从而控制斜向电场E的强度,以提升液晶显示面板的反应速度。详言之,当斜向电场E较强时,靠近第一狭缝262与第二狭缝282周围的液晶分子能够较为快速地倾倒,位于第二像素电极280上方的液晶分子便会受到其周围的液晶分子的推动,而迅速地形成多域排列(multi-domain)。因此,此设计对于提升液晶显示面板的反应速度有很大的助益。It should be noted that the strength of the oblique electric field E will be the key to accelerating the response speed of the liquid crystal display panel. In the present invention, the designer can adjust the width of the
请继续参照图7B,第一像素电极260可以是穿透式电极或反射式电极,而第二像素电极280也可以是穿透式电极或反射式电极。一般来说,当液晶显示面板200为穿透式液晶显示面板200时,第一像素电极260与第二像素电极280的材料可以是铟锡氧化物(Indium Tin Oxide,ITO)、铟锌氧化物(Indium Zinc Oxide,IZO)等透明导电材料,而第一像素电极260、第二像素电极280与共用电极240的厚度例如介于40纳米至150纳米之间。当然,若液晶显示面板200为反射式液晶显示器时,第一像素电极260与第二像素电极280的材料可以是铝、钼、钛或其他金属材料。此外,在本实施例中,介电层270的材料例如是氮化硅,而介电层270的厚度例如是介于100纳米至1000纳米之间。Please continue to refer to FIG. 7B , the
图8为本发明的另一种液晶显示面板的部分示意图,图8中仅示出像素350为例作说明。请参照图8,液晶显示面板300与第一实施例的液晶显示面板200类似,然而二者不同之处在于:像素350中的第一像素电极360与第二像素电极380的形状与堆叠方式。本实施例的像素350包括有源元件252、第一像素电极360、介电层(未示出)与第二像素电极380。第二像素电极380位于第一像素电极360范围内的介电层(未示出)上,其中第二像素电极380具有多组相互平行的狭缝382。另外,在本实施例中,第二像素电极380例如通过介电层(未示出)的开口H与第一像素电极360电性连接。FIG. 8 is a partial schematic diagram of another liquid crystal display panel of the present invention, and only the pixel 350 is shown in FIG. 8 as an example for illustration. Referring to FIG. 8 , the liquid crystal display panel 300 is similar to the liquid
如图8所示,第二像素电极380的狭缝的延伸方向与扫描线242的延伸方向夹角为θ2。当各像素250被驱动时,位于第二像素电极380的狭缝382将对应的液晶层大体划分成多个与扫描线242夹角为θ2的配向领域,以达到广视角的显示效果。当然,设计者可依设计需求自行调整θ2的大小,在此不再赘述。As shown in FIG. 8 , the angle between the extending direction of the slit of the second pixel electrode 380 and the extending direction of the
基于上述,本发明提出一种有别于现有技术多域垂直配向式液晶显示器的广视角技术,其能提升亮度、对比度并具有较快的反应速度。并且在提高视角的同时,不需额外的广视角膜或凸起物的配置,从而能够降低成本。Based on the above, the present invention proposes a wide viewing angle technology different from the prior art multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display, which can improve brightness and contrast and has a faster response speed. And while improving the viewing angle, no additional wide viewing angle film or configuration of protrusions is required, thereby reducing costs.
虽然本发明已以较佳实施例公开如上,然而其并非用以限定本发明,任何所属技术领域中普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,应可作一定的改动与修改,因此本发明的保护范围应以所附权利要求范围为准。Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art should be able to make certain changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of the appended claims.
