Description

Liquid crystal display panel and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a liquid crystal display panel and a method for manufacturing the liquid crystal display panel.
Background
With the continuous progress of the liquid crystal display technology, the viewing angle of the display has been widened from about 120 ° to over 160 °, and people want to effectively protect business confidentiality and personal privacy while enjoying visual experience brought by a large viewing angle, so as to avoid business loss or embarrassment caused by the leakage of screen information.
The current display device gradually develops towards the direction of wide viewing angle, and no matter the application of mobile phone terminal, desktop display or notebook computer, besides the requirement of wide viewing angle, in many occasions, the display device is also required to have the function of switching between wide viewing angle and narrow viewing angle.
At present, the switching between the wide viewing angle and the narrow viewing angle is generally realized by the shielding function of the shutter, which requires an additional shielding film outside the display device, and is inconvenient to use.
In the conventional viewing angle switching technology, a viewing angle switching electrode is usually disposed in a pixel structure, for example, a viewing angle control electrode is disposed on a Color Filter substrate (CF), but a metal line is required to be formed to reduce resistance when the viewing angle switching is controlled by the Color Filter substrate, so that the overall production cost is increased. In addition, when the front view is performed in the narrow view angle mode, the front view angle has a small variation range (based on the viewing angle perpendicular to the center of the display screen, there is an angle between the viewing angle and the edge of the screen), and the difference of the viewing angles may cause the problem of uneven display of the screen. When the structure is applied to a small-size (such as a 6-inch mobile phone) screen, the problem of uneven picture display caused by the change of the front viewing angle can not occur under a narrow viewing angle, however, when the structure is applied to a medium-size (such as a 13.3-inch notebook computer) or even larger-size screen, the problem of uneven picture display caused by different viewing angles under the narrow viewing angle during the front viewing can occur.

In this embodiment, the liquid crystal display panel is controlled to be switched between wide and narrow viewing angles by whether or not a voltage signal is applied to one end of the viewing angle control electrode 121. Specifically, the third metal layer 109 is electrically connected to the viewing angle control electrode 121, and the viewing angle control voltage signal is applied to one side of the viewing angle control electrode 121 through the third metal layer 109.

That is, the aperture ratio of the second sub-pixel 12 in the middle of the liquid crystal display panel is the largest, and the aperture ratios of the second sub-pixels 12 at both sides of the liquid crystal display panel are the smallest. Under a narrow viewing angle, from the middle to both sides of the liquid crystal display panel, as the aperture ratio of the second sub-pixel 12 decreases, the oblique light leakage also decreases, so that the contrast and brightness of the sub-pixel unit 100 can be balanced, and the display image quality can be improved.
