BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display with a wide viewing angle in which a plurality of domains are provided in one pixel, and more particularly to a liquid crystal display capable of repairing point defects.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Liquid crystal displays are widely used from portable terminals to large-sized televisions, taking advantage of their thin and light weight and low power consumption. Until now, there have been many still images in the images displayed on the liquid crystal display, but there are many cases where moving images are displayed due to the distribution of moving images via mobile phones and the development of liquid crystal televisions. The performance of the liquid crystal display is wide viewing angle and high speed. Response and other factors have become important. In order to improve the viewing angle, for example, an MVA (Multi-domain vertically aligned) method in which a plurality of domains are formed in one pixel by providing protrusions and grooves in the pixel has been proposed. This is described in, for example, Japanese Patent No. 3005418 and Japanese Patent No. 3011720.
[0003]
This conventional MVA type liquid crystal display will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 is a plan view of one pixel on the array substrate side, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the liquid crystal display. FIG. 7 corresponds to a cross-sectional view on the auxiliary capacitance wiring.

Of the pair of glass substrates arranged in parallel and opposite to each other, a scanning line 53, a signal line 54, a TFT 57, and a pixel electrode 59 are formed on one glass substrate 52 to be the array substrate 50, and the other glass to be the counter substrate 51. A color filter 65, a counter electrode 66, and a protrusion 67 are formed on the substrate 63. In FIG. 6, the color filter 65 and the protrusion 67 are omitted. The scanning lines 53 and the signal lines 54 are wired in a matrix, and TFTs 57 are formed at intersections thereof, and pixel electrodes 59 are formed in a region surrounded by the scanning lines 53 and the signal lines 54. The gate electrode of the TFT 57 is electrically connected to the scanning line 53, the source electrode is electrically connected to the signal line 54, and the drain electrode is electrically connected to the pixel electrode 59. A slit 69 is formed in the pixel electrode 59, and a plurality of band-like protrusions 67 are formed in a zigzag shape on the counter electrode 51. The slit 69 is located between the plurality of protrusions 67 and is formed substantially parallel to the adjacent protrusions 67. Alignment films 60 and 68 are stacked on the pixel electrode 59 and the counter electrode 66, respectively, and when no voltage is applied to the pixel electrode 59, the liquid crystal molecules 70 are vertically aligned due to the influence of the alignment films 60 and 68.
[0005]
When a predetermined voltage or higher is applied to the pixel electrode 59, the liquid crystal molecules 70 are tilted. At this time, when viewed from the normal direction of the counter substrate 51, the liquid crystal molecules 70 are inclined in the 90 ° direction with respect to the protrusions 67 and the slits 89, and are inclined in the opposite direction with respect to the protrusions 67 and the slits 89. A pair of crossed Nicols polarizing plates 71 and 72 are arranged outside the pair of glass substrates 52 and 63 so that the angle formed by the transmission axis of the polarizing plates 71 and 72 and the extending direction of the protrusion 67 is about 45 °. The angle between the tilted liquid crystal molecules 70 and the transmission axes of the polarizing plates 71 and 72 when viewed from the normal direction of the polarizing plates 71 and 72 is set to 45 °. When the angle between the tilted liquid crystal molecules 70 and the transmission axes of the polarizing plates 71 and 72 is 45 °, the transmitted light can be most efficiently obtained from the polarizing plate.
[0006]
A storage capacitor line 55 is provided near the center of each pixel. The auxiliary capacitance line 55 is formed at the same time as the scanning line 53 is formed, and is arranged in parallel with the scanning line 53. The auxiliary capacitance line 55 is covered with a gate insulating film 56 similarly to the scanning line 53, and a capacitance electrode 61 is formed on the gate insulating film 56 at a position facing the auxiliary capacitance line 55. The capacitor electrode 61 is formed simultaneously with the signal line 54, but is independent so as not to be electrically connected to the signal line 54. A protective film 58 made of, for example, SiNx is laminated on the signal line 54 and the capacitor electrode 61, and a contact hole 62 for exposing a part of the capacitor electrode 61 is formed in the protective film 58. The pixel electrode 59 is formed on the protective film 58, and the pixel electrode 59 and the capacitor electrode 61 are electrically connected via the contact hole 62. Accordingly, the pixel electrode 59 and the capacitor electrode 61 are at the same potential, and an auxiliary capacitor is formed by the auxiliary capacitor line 55 and the capacitor electrode 61.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the capacitor electrode is electrically connected to the auxiliary capacitor wiring or the signal line, a voltage applied to the pixel electrode leaks through the connection portion, which causes a display defect. For example, the foreign substance 73 is mixed in the gate insulating film 56 and the auxiliary capacitance line 55 and the capacitance electrode 61 are short-circuited, or the signal line 54 and the capacitance electrode 61 are short-circuited by the residue 74 due to the etching failure when forming the signal line 54. There is a case. However, in the conventional example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 for such a pixel defect, the pixel cannot be repaired.
[0008]
Therefore, there is a pixel electrode that is short-circuited to such an auxiliary capacitance line or a signal line, by removing a part of the pixel electrode and separating the short-circuited portion, thereby preventing a deterioration in display quality. Such a technique is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-221527. This forms a slit located on the storage capacitor line near the center of the pixel electrode. When a short circuit occurs in the vicinity of the auxiliary capacitor, a part from the slit to the edge of the pixel electrode is cut with a laser, and a part including the short circuit part is made independent from the pixel electrode. Further, FIG. 30 of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-83522 describes a repair method at the time of a short circuit in an MVA liquid crystal display. In the MVA method, a plurality of alignment regulating slits are formed in the pixel electrode. Among these slits, a slit near the center of the pixel electrode is also formed on the auxiliary capacitance wiring. At the time of short circuit, a part of the pixel electrode in the vicinity of the slit is cut with a laser for repair.
[0009]
However, when the pixel electrode is repaired by the conventional method, the auxiliary capacitor does not function in the repaired pixel. That is, in the case where the pixel electrode and the capacitor electrode are electrically connected as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the capacitor electrode is connected to the cut and independent pixel electrode, and the capacitor electrode is separated from the pixel electrode used for display. Therefore, the pixel electrode and the capacitor electrode are not at the same potential, and an auxiliary capacitor cannot be formed between the capacitor electrode and the auxiliary capacitor line. Therefore, even if a pixel is repaired and displayed on that pixel, since there is no auxiliary capacitance, a voltage drop occurs due to charge leakage of the pixel electrode when the TFT is OFF, and an appropriate display is displayed on that pixel. I could not.
[0010]
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display capable of repairing a pixel in which a pixel defect has occurred, and suppressing deterioration in display quality even after the repair.
[0011]

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of an array substrate 10 having pixel electrodes, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a liquid crystal display along the auxiliary capacitance wiring 3, and FIG. 3 shows the slits 8 of the pixel electrodes 6 and the protrusions 25 on the counter substrate 20. It is a schematic diagram which shows a positional relationship.
[0017]
Reference numeral 1 denotes a first substrate constituting the array substrate 10, which is formed of a transparent substrate such as a glass substrate. 2 is a scanning line formed of Al or the like, 3 is an auxiliary capacitance line formed simultaneously with the scanning line 2, and the scanning line 2 and the auxiliary capacitance line 3 are arranged in parallel. Reference numeral 4 denotes a gate insulating film stacked on the scanning line 2 and the auxiliary capacitance wiring 3, and a signal line 5 made of Al, Cr, or the like is formed on the gate insulating film 4. The signal line 5 is arranged so as to be orthogonal to the scanning line 2, and a region surrounded by the scanning line 2 and the signal line 5 corresponds to one pixel. A pixel electrode 6 made of ITO, IZO or the like is formed in each pixel, and a TFT 7 serving as a switching element is disposed near the intersection of the scanning line 2 and the signal line 5. In the TFT 7, the gate electrode 7 a is electrically connected to the scanning line 2, the source electrode 7 b is electrically connected to the signal line 5, and the drain electrode 7 c is electrically connected to the pixel electrode 6. A slit 8 is formed in the pixel electrode 6, and the tilt direction of liquid crystal molecules is regulated by the slit 8. A protective film 9 covers the signal line 5 and the TFT 7, and the pixel electrode 6 is formed on the protective film 9. In this embodiment, only one protective film 9 is laminated between the signal line 5 and the pixel electrode 6, but two or more protective films may be laminated. A contact hole 11 is provided in the protective film 9 at a portion corresponding to the drain electrode 7 c of the TFT 7, and the pixel electrode 6 is electrically connected to the drain electrode 7 c through the contact hole 11. An alignment film 12 covers the pixel electrode 4 and is subjected to a vertical alignment process. Thus, the array substrate 10 is formed.
[0018]
A counter substrate 20 is disposed to face the array substrate 10. Reference numeral 21 denotes a second substrate constituting the counter substrate 20, and the second substrate 21 is formed of a transparent substrate such as a glass substrate. A black matrix 22 is formed on the second substrate 21 so as to divide each pixel, and a color filter 23 corresponding to each pixel is formed in an opening of the black matrix 22. The color filter 23 is arranged with any one of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) corresponding to each pixel. A counter electrode 24 made of, for example, ITO or IZO is laminated on the color filter 23, and projections 25 having a predetermined pattern are formed on the counter electrode 24. The counter electrode 24 and the projections 25 are subjected to vertical alignment processing. It is covered with a film 26. In this way, the counter substrate 20 is formed.
[0019]
A liquid crystal layer 27 having a negative dielectric anisotropy is interposed between the substrates 10 and 20. When an electric field of a predetermined level or higher is not generated between the pixel electrode 6 and the counter electrode 24, the liquid crystal molecules 27 are vertically aligned by being regulated by the alignment films 12 and 26, and a predetermined level or higher is set between the pixel electrode 6 and the counter electrode 24. When an electric field is generated, the liquid crystal molecules 27 are tilted in the horizontal direction. At this time, the liquid crystal molecules 27 are restricted by the slits 8 and the protrusions 25 and are inclined in a predetermined direction to form a plurality of domains in one pixel. FIG. 2 schematically shows a state where an electric field is generated between the pixel electrode 6 and the transparent electrode 15.
[0020]
A first polarizing plate 28 is disposed outside the first substrate 1, and a second polarizing plate 29 is disposed outside the second substrate 21, and the first polarizing plate 28 and the second polarizing plate 29 have transmission axes of each other. It is set to be orthogonal. When observed from the normal direction of the counter substrate 20, the transmitted light passes through the second polarizing plate 29 most efficiently when the transmission axis of the polarizing plates 28 and 29 and the inclination direction of the liquid crystal molecules 27 form about 45 °. be able to. Since the liquid crystal molecules 27 are inclined in the direction of about 90 ° with respect to the protrusions 25 and the slits 8, the extending direction of the slits 8 and the protrusions 25 in the pixel and the transmission axis of the second polarizing plate 29 form about 45 °. Thus, both polarizing plates 19 and 20 are arranged. In this embodiment, the transmission axis of the first polarizing plate 28 is set to coincide with the extending direction of the scanning line 2, and the transmission axis of the second polarizing plate 29 is set to match the extending direction of the signal line 5.
[0021]
When no electric field of a predetermined level or more is generated between the pixel electrode 6 and the transparent electrode 15, the liquid crystal molecules 27 are vertically aligned, so that the linearly polarized transmitted light that has passed through the first polarizing plate 28 passes through the liquid crystal layer 18 to be linearly polarized. It passes through as it is and is blocked by the second polarizing plate 29 to display black. Further, when a predetermined voltage is applied to the pixel electrode 6 and an electric field is generated between the pixel electrode 6 and the transparent electrode 15, the liquid crystal molecules 27 tilt in the horizontal direction. The transmitted light becomes elliptically polarized light by the liquid crystal layer 27, passes through the second polarizing plate 29, and becomes white display.
[0022]
Next, the shapes of the slit 8 and the protrusion 25 will be described. In FIG. 3, the protrusion 25 is indicated by a dotted line. A plurality of band-like protrusions 25 exist in one pixel, and each protrusion 25 extends in a direction that forms about 45 ° with the signal line 5 when viewed from the normal direction of the second substrate 21 in each pixel. ing. Each protrusion 25 is arranged in parallel to the adjacent protrusion 25, and is bent substantially at a right angle when the protrusion 25 extending from the edge of the pixel electrode 6 reaches the auxiliary capacitance wiring 3. Accordingly, the protrusions 25 in the pixel are arranged substantially symmetrically in the vertical direction with the auxiliary capacitance line 3 as an axis. In this embodiment, the protrusions 25 are formed in a zigzag shape across a plurality of pixels, but the protrusions 25 may be provided independently for each pixel.
[0023]
The slit 8 formed in the pixel electrode 6 is positioned in parallel with the protrusion 25 in the middle of the adjacent protrusions 25 when viewed from the normal direction of the counter substrate 20. Therefore, the slit 8 is also almost symmetrical in the vertical direction with the auxiliary capacitance wiring 3 as an axis. Of the slits 8 in the pixel, the slit 8 a located near the center of the pixel is formed so as to straddle the auxiliary capacitance line 3, and bends substantially at right angles on the auxiliary capacitance line 3 like the adjacent protrusion 25. By forming the slit 8a in the vicinity of the auxiliary capacitance line 3 so as to straddle the auxiliary capacitance line 3, it becomes possible to repair the pixel electrode 6 for a pixel defect to be described later.
[0024]
Next, the configuration of the auxiliary capacity will be described. Reference numeral 13 denotes a capacitor electrode disposed to face the auxiliary capacitor line 3 and is formed simultaneously with the signal line 5. The capacitor electrode 13 is formed on the gate insulating film 4, has a size that does not protrude from the auxiliary capacitor wiring 3, and is covered with the protective film 9. Reference numeral 14 denotes a contact hole formed in the protective film 9, and the capacitor electrode 13 is connected to the pixel electrode 6 through the contact hole 14. Therefore, the capacitor electrode 13 has the same potential as the pixel electrode 6 and constitutes an auxiliary capacitor between the capacitor electrode 13 and the auxiliary capacitor line 3. The capacitor electrode 13 in one pixel is divided into two substantially equal sizes, and each capacitor electrode 13 is connected to the pixel electrode 6 existing on the left and right with the slit 8 interposed therebetween. That is, in FIG. 2, the capacitor electrode 13 located on the right side is connected to the pixel electrode 6 located on the right side of the slit 8, and the capacitor electrode 13 located on the left side is connected to the pixel electrode 6 located on the left side of the slit 8.
[0025]
Next, based on FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a repair method when the capacitor electrode 13 is short-circuited with the auxiliary capacitor line 3 and the signal line 5 will be described. 4 and 5 are plan views showing a repaired state when the capacitor electrode 13 is short-circuited. In FIG. 4, a residue 30 due to defective etching exists between the right capacitive electrode 13a and the signal line 5, and the capacitive electrode 13a and the signal line 5 are short-circuited. When repairing this pixel, a part of the pixel electrode 6 is removed by a laser, and two grooves 31 are formed in the pixel electrode 6. The groove 31 is formed along the auxiliary capacitance wiring 3 from the slit 8 to the right edge of the pixel electrode 6 and separates the pixel electrode 6a connected to the short-circuited capacitance electrode 13a from other portions. As a result, the pixel electrode 6 separated from the pixel electrode 6a is separated from the short-circuited capacitor electrode 13a, so that a desired display can be performed by this pixel. Further, since the auxiliary capacitor is formed by the left capacitor electrode 13b, the pixel electrode 6 can be prevented from leaking charges during the holding period, and an optimal display can be performed.
[0026]
FIG. 5 shows a case where the capacitor electrode 13b located on the left side is short-circuited. A foreign substance 32 exists between the capacitance electrode 13 b and the auxiliary capacitance line 3, and the capacitance electrode 13 b is at the same potential as the auxiliary capacitance line 3. At this time, two grooves 31 are formed in the pixel electrode 6 by a laser. This groove 31 is also formed along the auxiliary capacitance wiring 3 as in the case of FIG. 4 and is formed from the slit 8 to the left edge of the pixel electrode 6. The groove 31 separates the pixel electrode 6b connected to the capacitor electrode 13b from other portions. At this time, since the auxiliary capacitor is formed by the right capacitor electrode 13a, the pixel electrode 6 can maintain a predetermined charge during the holding period. Note that the groove 31 of the pixel electrode 6 is not particularly limited in size and depth as long as the pixel electrode 6 connected to the short-circuited capacitor electrode 13 can be separated from other portions.
[0027]
As described above, in the present invention, the capacitive electrode 13 is divided into a plurality of parts, and each capacitive electrode 13 is connected to the pixel electrode 6 in a different region among the pixel electrodes 6 divided by the slits 8. Even when short-circuited to the line 5 or the like, an auxiliary capacitor can be left in the pixel after the pixel is repaired.
[0028]
If this capacitive electrode 13 is divided into substantially equal sizes within one pixel, it is possible to leave an auxiliary capacitor having substantially the same capacity regardless of which capacitive electrode 13 is short-circuited, and even capacity after repairing the pixel. Auxiliary capacity can be secured.
[0029]
In this embodiment, the capacitive electrode is divided into two, but it may be divided into three or more. At this time, it is preferable to provide independent capacitance electrodes for each region where the pixel electrode 6 is divided by the slit 8 on the auxiliary capacitance wiring 3. That is, the same number of capacitor electrodes 13 as the number of regions divided by the slits 8 are formed, and the capacitor electrodes 13 connected to the pixel electrodes 6 in the regions are arranged for each region. By doing so, it is possible to minimize the decrease in the auxiliary capacitance after the pixel defect is repaired.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, when a capacitor defect is short-circuited with a signal line or an auxiliary capacitor wiring and a pixel defect occurs, an auxiliary capacitor is present even after the pixel is repaired, so that deterioration in display quality can be prevented. .
