技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种液晶显示面板,且特别是有关于一种扭转向列型(TwistedNematic Mode,TN-Mode)液晶显示面板。 The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display panel, and in particular to a twisted nematic mode (Twisted Nematic Mode, TN-Mode) liquid crystal display panel. the
背景技术 Background technique
液晶,为液晶显示器中最重要的元素,面板中所使用的液晶材料,会因液晶的旋光性(optical rotation)、操作电压及操作温度等液晶的基本特性差异而影响光学性质,因此液晶的选择为设计上的首要课题。一般而言,在扭转向列型(Twisted Nematic Mode,TN-Mode)液晶显示面板中,液晶材料在选择上以左旋液晶为主,但左旋液晶有其光学限制,无法同时满足客户所指定灰阶反转发生角度及避开面板出光至太阳眼镜吸收轴的方向,因此为了因应客户多元化的光学需求,传统的左旋液晶已不敷使用,因此右旋液晶亦开始使用于TN-mode液晶显示面板中。 Liquid crystal is the most important element in liquid crystal display. The liquid crystal material used in the panel will affect the optical properties due to the difference in the basic characteristics of liquid crystal such as optical rotation, operating voltage and operating temperature of liquid crystal. Therefore, the choice of liquid crystal is the primary issue in design. Generally speaking, in Twisted Nematic Mode (TN-Mode) liquid crystal display panels, left-handed liquid crystals are the main choice of liquid crystal materials, but left-handed liquid crystals have their optical limitations and cannot meet the gray scale specified by customers at the same time. Reversing the angle of generation and avoiding the direction of the light output from the panel to the absorption axis of the sunglasses. Therefore, in order to meet the diversified optical needs of customers, the traditional left-handed liquid crystal is no longer enough. Therefore, right-handed liquid crystals are also used in TN-mode liquid crystal display panels. middle. the
此外,液晶显示面板上的光学补偿膜(optical compensation film)是针对暗态时受上下方的配向膜影响而未全然站立的液晶分子所设计。然而,传统的光学补偿膜在设置上皆针对左旋液晶进行设计,不适用于右旋液晶的架构,导致采用右旋液晶的TN-Mode液晶显示面板所表现的中心对比及视角等光学性质皆逊于左旋液晶的TN-Mode液晶显示面板。另一方面,现行左旋液晶架构的液晶显示面板在光学性质上仍有改善空间,其光学补偿膜的设置方案仍未臻理想。 In addition, the optical compensation film (optical compensation film) on the LCD panel is designed for the liquid crystal molecules that are not fully standing due to the influence of the upper and lower alignment films in the dark state. However, traditional optical compensation films are designed for left-handed liquid crystals and are not suitable for right-handed liquid crystal structures. As a result, TN-Mode liquid crystal display panels using right-handed liquid crystals exhibit inferior optical properties such as central contrast and viewing angles. TN-Mode liquid crystal display panel based on left-handed liquid crystal. On the other hand, there is still room for improvement in the optical properties of the current left-handed liquid crystal display panel, and the arrangement of the optical compensation film is still not ideal. the

图1绘示本申请提出的一种TN-mode液晶显示面板的架构。液晶显示面板100包括主动元件阵列基板110、对向基板120、液晶层130、第一配向膜140、第二配向膜150、第一光学补偿膜160以及第二光学补偿膜170。对向基板120与主动元件阵列基板110相对设置。液晶层130配置于主动元件阵列基板110与对向基板120之间,且液晶层130包含多个液晶分子132。第一配向膜140配置于主动元件阵列基板110与液晶层130之间。第二配向膜150配置于对向基板120与液晶层130之间。第一光学补偿膜160与第一配向膜140分别位于主动元件阵列基板110的相对两侧。也就是说,第一配向膜140位于主动元件阵列基板110的内表面上,而第一光学补偿膜160位于主动元件阵列 基板110的外表面上。第二光学补偿膜170与第二配向膜150分别位于对向基板120的相对两侧。也就是说,第二配向膜150位于对向基板120的内表面上,而第二光学补偿膜170位于对向基板120的外表面上。主动元件阵列基板110例如是薄膜晶体管阵列基板,而对向基板120可包括彩色滤光层以及共用电极层。当然,主动元件阵列基板110也可以是整合彩色滤光片制作的彩色滤光片于主动层上(color filter on array,COA)的薄膜晶体管阵列基板、或是主动层于彩色滤光片上(array on color filter,AOC)的薄膜晶体管阵列基板、或者是黑色矩阵(black matrix,BM)整合于薄膜晶体管阵列基板上(black matrix onarray,BOA),此时,对向基板120可能包括共用电极(未绘示)。此外,液晶层130随着第一配向膜与第二配向膜150的设置,可能为左旋液晶或右旋液晶。
FIG. 1 illustrates the structure of a TN-mode liquid crystal display panel proposed in this application. The liquid
首先,说明左旋液晶与右旋液晶的定义。下列附图表示皆采主动元件阵列基板110与对向基板120组立后,以俯视(Top view)方向观察之,即从对向基板120往主动元件阵列基板110方向观察。
First, definitions of left-handed liquid crystals and right-handed liquid crystals will be described. The following figures show that after the active
如图2A所示的左旋液晶架构,将图纸表面视为液晶显示面板100的显示面,当主动元件阵列基板110与对向基板120组立后,从主动元件阵列基板110侧的第一配向膜140的配向方向(图式标示为TFT)朝顺时针方向旋转,先碰到对向基板120侧的第二配向膜150的配向方向(图式标示为CF)的反向,则称为左旋液晶架构。在此,定义旋转角度Δθtwist为扭转角,且90°≤Δθtwist≤100°。
For the left-handed liquid crystal structure shown in FIG. 2A, the surface of the drawing is regarded as the display surface of the liquid
此外,如图2B所示的右旋液晶架构,同样将图纸表面视为液晶显示面板100的显示面,当主动元件阵列基板110与对向基板120组立后,从主动元件阵列基板110侧的第一配向膜140的配向方向朝逆时针方向旋转,先碰到对向基板120侧的第二配向膜150的配向方向的反向,则称为右旋液晶架构。在此,定义旋转角度Δθtwist为扭转角,且90°≤Δθtwist≤100°。
In addition, for the right-handed liquid crystal structure shown in FIG. 2B, the surface of the drawing is also regarded as the display surface of the liquid
下文先以右旋液晶架构来说明本申请的设计。 In the following, the design of the present application will be described with a right-handed liquid crystal structure. the
图3A绘示公知一种左旋液晶搭配光学补偿膜的架构。图3B绘示公知一种右旋液晶搭配光学补偿膜的架构。图4绘示依据本申请提出的一种右旋液晶搭配光学补偿膜的架构。图3A、图3B与图4的架构皆是采用相同的光学补偿膜。在此,将图纸表面视为液晶显示面板的显示面,并且定义显示面上的X轴的正向为0度,则θA为主动元件阵列基板侧的配向方向(附图标示为TFT) 与X轴正向所夹的角度、θAE为主动元件阵列基板侧的光学补偿膜的光吸收轴(图式标示为TFT-EWV)与X轴正向所夹的角度、θC为对向基板侧的配向方向(图式标示为CF)的反向与X轴正向所夹的角度、θCE为对向基板侧的光学补偿膜的光吸收轴(图式标示为CF-EWV)与X轴正向所夹的角度。据此,可定义主动元件阵列基板侧的配向方向与相应的光学补偿膜的光吸收轴所夹的角度为ΔθA,且ΔθA=θA-θAE。此外,可定义对向基板侧的配向方向的反向与相应的光学补偿膜的光吸收轴所夹的角度为ΔθC,且ΔθC=θC-θCE。 FIG. 3A shows a conventional structure of a left-handed liquid crystal with an optical compensation film. FIG. 3B illustrates a conventional structure of a right-handed liquid crystal with an optical compensation film. FIG. 4 shows a structure of a right-handed liquid crystal combined with an optical compensation film according to the present application. The architectures of FIG. 3A , FIG. 3B and FIG. 4 all use the same optical compensation film. Here, the surface of the drawing is regarded as the display surface of the liquid crystal display panel, and the positive direction of the X-axis on the display surface is defined as 0 degrees, then θ A is the alignment direction of the active element array substrate side (the drawing is indicated as TFT) and The angle between the positive direction of the X-axis, θ AE is the angle between the light absorption axis of the optical compensation film on the active element array substrate side (marked as TFT-EWV in the figure) and the positive direction of the X-axis, and θ C is the opposite substrate The angle between the reverse direction of the alignment direction (marked as CF in the figure) and the positive direction of the X-axis, θ CE is the light absorption axis of the optical compensation film on the opposite side of the substrate (marked as CF-EWV in the figure) and X The angle subtended by the positive direction of the axis. Accordingly, the angle between the alignment direction of the active device array substrate and the light absorption axis of the corresponding optical compensation film can be defined as Δθ A , and Δθ A =θ A −θ AE . In addition, the angle formed by the opposite of the alignment direction on the opposite substrate side and the light absorption axis of the corresponding optical compensation film can be defined as Δθ C , and Δθ C =θ C −θ CE .
如图3B所示的现行右旋液晶搭配光学补偿膜的架构,其光学表现不佳。原因在于,光学补偿膜是针对暗态时受液晶层上下侧的配向膜所影响而未全然站直的液晶分子所设计,其主要是以上下两片光学补偿膜中和液晶分子倾角为对称排列的盘状分子来补偿液晶层边缘的残余位相差。传统的光学补偿膜皆针对左旋液晶进行设计,如图3B所示,其中ΔθA为约+0.3°(即,正0.3度),而ΔθC为约-0.3°(即,负0.3度),以有效发挥光学补偿膜的盘状液晶的补偿作用。然而,将此设计规范应用于如图3B所示的右旋液晶架构时,因为液晶扭转方向的不同,使得光学补偿膜的光吸收轴与相应的配向方向的相对关系发生错乱,而无法得到有效的光学补偿。 The current structure of right-handed liquid crystal with optical compensation film as shown in FIG. 3B has poor optical performance. The reason is that the optical compensation film is designed for the liquid crystal molecules that are not completely straight due to the influence of the alignment film on the upper and lower sides of the liquid crystal layer in the dark state. It is mainly arranged symmetrically with the liquid crystal molecules in the upper and lower optical compensation films. discotic molecules to compensate the residual retardation at the edge of the liquid crystal layer. Traditional optical compensation films are designed for left-handed liquid crystals, as shown in FIG. 3B, where Δθ A is about +0.3° (ie, plus 0.3 degrees), and Δθ C is about -0.3° (ie, minus 0.3 degrees), In order to effectively play the compensation function of the discotic liquid crystal of the optical compensation film. However, when this design rule is applied to the right-handed liquid crystal structure as shown in Figure 3B, the relative relationship between the light absorption axis of the optical compensation film and the corresponding alignment direction is disordered due to the different twisting directions of the liquid crystals, and it cannot be effectively obtained. optical compensation.
如图4所示的右旋液晶架构调整液晶扭转角Δθtwist的大小来改变配向方向与光学补偿膜的光吸收轴的相对关系,使光学补偿膜得以发挥补偿功效。更详细而言,本实施例将液晶扭转角Δθtwist加大,使其大于相应两个光学补偿膜的光吸收轴的夹角Δθewv,或甚至涵盖Δθewv的范围,如此便可使光学补偿膜得以发挥良好的补偿功效,以增益光学表现。 The right-handed liquid crystal structure shown in Figure 4 adjusts the liquid crystal twist angle Δθ twist to change the relative relationship between the alignment direction and the light absorption axis of the optical compensation film, so that the optical compensation film can play a compensation role.
