Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a face panel, an alignment method and an operation method thereof, and in particular to a polymer stabilized alignment (pl〇 Ymer Stabilized Alignment (PSA) technology display panel and its alignment method and operation method. [Prior Art] In the development of displays, with the advancement of optoelectronic technology and semiconductor manufacturing technology, liquid crystal displays with superior properties such as high quality, good space utilization efficiency, low power consumption, and no radiation have gradually become the mainstream in the market. The liquid crystal display includes a backlight module and a liquid crystal display panel, and the conventional liquid crystal display panel is composed of two substrates and a liquid crystal layer filled between the two substrates. In general, in the manufacturing process of a liquid crystal display panel, an alignment film is formed on both substrates to have a specific arrangement of liquid crystal molecules. It is conventional to form an alignment film by first applying an alignment material and then aligning the alignment material. The alignment process can be divided into a contact alignment process and a non-contact alignment process. Although the non-contact alignment process solves the problem of electrostatic problems caused by contact friction alignment and particle contamination, it often suffers from insufficient anchoring energy of the alignment surface. However, if the anchoring energy of the alignment surface is insufficient, the display quality of the liquid crystal display panel tends to be poor. In order to solve the above problems, a technique of Ployd Stabilized Alignment (PSA) has been proposed. This technique is 201122643 AU0905008 32092twf.doc/n is to incorporate a suitable concentration of monomer compound (m〇n〇mer) in the liquid crystal material and to oscillate evenly. Next, the mixed liquid crystal material is placed on a heater and heated to reach an isotropic state. Then, when the liquid crystal mixture is cooled at room temperature of 25 ° C, the liquid crystal mixture returns to a nematic shape. At this time, the liquid crystal mixture was injected into the liquid crystal cell and a voltage was applied. When exerting force. In order to stabilize the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules, the monomer compound is polymerized by ultraviolet light or heating to form a polymer layer, thereby achieving the purpose of stable alignment. Generally, in the liquid crystal display panel of the PSA, alignment slits are formed in the pixel electrodes of the book and the gentleman to form a specific alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules. The more the alignment slits in the halogen electrode, the more precisely the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules can be controlled. However, the more the area occupied by the alignment slits, the more the mura phenomenon is introduced, which is mainly due to the narrow alignment. The lithography process of the seam causes the slit width to be inconsistent. In more detail, in the lithography etching process of the alignment slit, the boundary between the optical lens groups of the exposure device tends to be inconsistent because the exposure conditions at the place and the exposure conditions at the non-junction are not completely identical, thus causing the The slit width at the point is inconsistent with the width of the other slits. As a result, the brightness of the display panel at these two places is different, resulting in display of mura problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a display panel and a color filter substrate that can be used in the display panel, which can reduce the width of the alignment slit formed by the display panel Q of the conventional SA technology in the dendrite electrode. Caused by the 201122643 AU0905008 32092twf.doc/n uneven problem. The present invention provides an alignment method of a display panel which is different from the conventional PSA alignment method. The present invention provides a method of operating a display panel which has a better transmittance than a conventional display panel using PSA technology. The present invention provides a display panel including a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer. The first substrate includes a plurality of halogen structures. second

The embodiment of FIG. 8A is illustrated by using the display surface of the embodiment of FIG. 1 as an example. However, the alignment method of the present invention is not limited to the display panel shown in FIG. i, and can also be applied to In the display panel of the other embodiment, for example, the display panel of the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is used. Referring to FIG. 8A, the method for operating the display panel of the present embodiment includes applying a common voltage Vc' to the electrode layer 112 on the second substrate 11() and causing the patterned electrode layer 116 on the second substrate 11(). Is floating. At this time, each pixel structure in the pixel array layer 102 on the first substrate 100 will cause a specific twisting behavior of the liquid crystal layer above each of the pixel structures according to the action of the driving signal thereof to make the display panel specific. The image is displayed. In the display panel of the present embodiment, although the patterned electrode layer 116 is provided on the electrode layer 112, it is mainly applied to the electrode layer 112 when performing a display operation. Therefore, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 15 are subjected to a specific Φ twisting behavior according to the electric field between the electrode layer 116 and the halogen array layer 1〇2. In the case of Lu, the patterned electrode layer H6 does not affect the normal display operation of the display panel. In addition, since no alignment pattern is formed in the halogen element in the pixel array layer 1〇2, the display panel has better light transmittance than the conventional display panel using PSA technology (for example, Increase the light transmittance by 9%). Furthermore, since no alignment pattern is formed in the pixel electrodes in the pixel array layer 1〇2, it is possible to avoid the width of the alignment slit formed in the pixel electrode in the conventional display panel using the PSA technology. Inconsistent results in uneven display. 13 201122643 AU〇y〇5〇08 32092twf.doc/n FIG. 8B is a schematic diagram of an alignment method of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of FIG. 8B is exemplified by the dry surface described in the embodiment of FIG. i, but the alignment method of the present invention is not limited to the display panel which can only be used for the figure, and can also be used for performance. In the other embodiment, the display panel 2, the display panel of the embodiment shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 8B, the operation method of the display panel of the present embodiment includes simultaneously applying the common electrode layer 112 and the patterned electrode layer 116 on the second substrate to the first substrate 1 Each of the 昼 构 构 构 构 阵列 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 构 根据 根据 根据 根据 根据 根据 根据 根据 根据 根据 根据 根据 上 上Similarly, although the (four) electrode layer 1 is provided on the electrode layer 112, when the display operation is performed, the voltage is simultaneously applied to the electrode layer m and the patterned electrode layer 116. Therefore, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 150 are subjected to a specific twisting behavior according to the electric field between the electrode layer 116 / the electrode layer 112 and the layer of the halogen array. In other words, the case electrode layer 116 does not affect the normal display operation of the display panel. In addition, since no alignment pattern is formed in the halogen electrode in the pixel array layer 1〇2, the panel is lighter than the conventional display panel using the PSA technology. Moreover, since no alignment pattern is formed in the halogen electrode in the pixel array layer 102, it can be avoided that the width of the alignment slit formed in the pixel electrode is not in the panel of the conventional PSA technology. - A problem that causes uneven display.
