Description
本發明係有關液晶顯示器,尤其是有關具有改善光穿透率和高對比度的液晶顯示器。The present invention relates to liquid crystal displays, and more particularly to liquid crystal displays having improved light transmittance and high contrast.
液晶分子的一特性是在不同的排列時,有不同的旋光向或不同的折射效果。液晶顯示器係利用這種特性,來控制光穿透率以產生影像。因為液晶分子的結構以及光特性的影響,扭轉向列型液晶顯示器具有良好的光穿透率,但是顯示器的視角卻非常狹小。One characteristic of liquid crystal molecules is that they have different optical directions or different refraction effects when they are arranged differently. Liquid crystal displays use this property to control light transmittance to produce images. Due to the structure of the liquid crystal molecules and the influence of the light characteristics, the twisted nematic liquid crystal display has a good light transmittance, but the viewing angle of the display is very narrow.
為了解決光穿透率和視角的問題,扭轉垂直配向模式被用來提高光穿透率以及增加視角。由於液晶分子係被垂直配向,當液晶分子接受較低電壓時,於斜視的方向觀看顯示器,會有灰階反轉的問題。從而產生斜視方向的顏色偏移,而使顯示器無法顯現正常的影像。In order to solve the problem of light transmittance and viewing angle, the twist vertical alignment mode is used to increase the light transmittance and increase the viewing angle. Since the liquid crystal molecules are vertically aligned, when the liquid crystal molecules receive a lower voltage and view the display in a squint direction, there is a problem that the gray scale is reversed. This produces a color shift in the squint direction, making the display unable to visualize normal images.
有一種解決該問題的方法,係在同一像素中形成兩種以上的液晶分子排列區塊,以形成多區域垂直配向液晶顯示器,以便消除灰階反轉的問題,並提高視角。在實作中,有三個具體的方法。在第一種方法中,每一像素被劃分成多個顯示區域,並且每一個顯示區域利用電容耦合來形成不同的電壓,由此而產生多區域液晶分子排列的顯示效果。在第二種方法中,每一像素被劃分成多個顯示區域,並利用兩個薄膜電晶體來使每個顯示區域有不同的電壓,從而解決了灰階反轉問題。在第三個方法中,每一像素被分為兩個以上的顯示區域,並在顯示區域的一部分電極之上方,覆蓋電子阻擋材料,由此而產生多區域液晶分子排列的顯示效果。There is a method for solving this problem by forming two or more liquid crystal molecule alignment blocks in the same pixel to form a multi-region vertical alignment liquid crystal display, thereby eliminating the problem of gray scale inversion and improving the viewing angle. In practice, there are three specific methods. In the first method, each pixel is divided into a plurality of display regions, and each of the display regions utilizes capacitive coupling to form different voltages, thereby producing a display effect of the arrangement of the multi-region liquid crystal molecules. In the second method, each pixel is divided into a plurality of display regions, and two thin film transistors are used to make each display region have a different voltage, thereby solving the gray scale inversion problem. In the third method, each pixel is divided into two or more display regions, and an electron blocking material is covered over a part of the electrodes of the display region, thereby producing a display effect of the arrangement of the multi-region liquid crystal molecules.
然而,這些利用現有技術解決灰階反轉問題的方法,需要複雜的液晶顯示器製程。鑑於上述,本發明的主題,是提供一種簡單, 而具有改善光穿透率和提高對比度的方法,使液晶顯示器可呈現最佳的影像。However, these methods of solving the gray scale inversion problem using the prior art require a complicated liquid crystal display process. In view of the above, the subject matter of the present invention is to provide a simple, The method of improving light transmittance and improving contrast enables the liquid crystal display to display an optimum image.

如圖二所示,第一電極的複數個未封閉長條狀缺口,在第一電極的周圍上形成有實體連續邊緣和點狀邊緣。第二電極的複數個未封閉長條狀缺口,也在第二電極的周圍上形成有實體連續邊緣和點狀邊緣。As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of unsealed elongated notches of the first electrode are formed with solid continuous edges and point edges on the periphery of the first electrode. A plurality of unclosed elongated notches of the second electrode are also formed with solid continuous edges and point edges on the periphery of the second electrode.
根據本發明,第一電極和第二電極的電極圖案可以有一些變化。例如,在一些實施例中,第一電極和第二電極具有基本上相同的圖案,每個第一電極的實體連續邊緣有相對應的第二電極的實體連續邊緣,但其中的兩個相對應的實體連續邊緣可以有一個為較向外延伸。在其它實施例中,在第二電極上的所有複數個長條狀缺口,也許都是封閉長條狀缺口,因此第二電極的周圍上只有形成實體連續邊緣。According to the present invention, the electrode patterns of the first electrode and the second electrode may have some variations. For example, in some embodiments, the first electrode and the second electrode have substantially the same pattern, and the solid continuous edges of each of the first electrodes have corresponding physical continuous edges of the second electrode, but two of them correspond The continuous edges of the solids may have one that extends outward. In other embodiments, all of the plurality of elongated indentations on the second electrode may be closed elongated strips so that only the continuous edges of the solid are formed around the second electrode.
圖三A顯示出了一個實施例,其中第一電極和第二電極,具有非常相似的電極圖案。第一電極的點狀邊緣與相對應的第二電極的點狀邊緣在每個顯示單元中互相對齊,但第一電極的實體連續邊緣則比第二電極的實體連續邊緣較為向外延伸。Figure 3A shows an embodiment in which the first electrode and the second electrode have very similar electrode patterns. The point-like edge of the first electrode and the corresponding point-like edge of the second electrode are aligned with each other in each display unit, but the solid continuous edge of the first electrode extends outward more than the solid continuous edge of the second electrode.
根據本發明,最好是對齊的點狀邊緣與不對齊的實體連續邊緣,交替的圍繞在顯示單元周圍,而且第一電極的實體連續邊緣應該比第二電極的實體連續邊緣較為向外延伸約2-12微米。此外,每一個比較向外延伸的實體連續邊緣,最好是有一端逐漸變細,而且 以30度至60度之間的斜角切向相鄰的點狀邊緣。斜角之大小最好是45度。In accordance with the present invention, preferably the aligned punctiform edges and the non-aligned solid continuous edges are alternately wrapped around the display unit, and the solid continuous edges of the first electrode should extend outwardly more than the physical continuous edges of the second electrode. 2-12 microns. In addition, each of the continuous edges of the relatively outwardly extending solid body preferably has a tapered end, and The adjacent point-like edges are tangentially inclined at an oblique angle of between 30 and 60 degrees. The size of the bevel is preferably 45 degrees.
圖三B顯示了根據本發明而製作的像素區中之顯示單元的第一電極和第二電極的另一實施例。在本實施例中,第二電極只包含封閉長條狀缺口,但是第一電極則包括封閉長條狀缺口和未封閉長條狀缺口。第二電極的封閉長條狀缺口只形成圍繞在第二電極周圍的實體連續邊緣。第一電極的點狀邊緣與相對應的第二電極的實體連續邊緣互相對齊,但第一電極的實體連續邊緣則比相對應的第二電極的實體連續邊緣較為向內縮減。Figure 3B shows another embodiment of the first and second electrodes of the display unit in the pixel region fabricated in accordance with the present invention. In this embodiment, the second electrode comprises only a closed elongated strip, but the first electrode comprises a closed elongated strip and an unsealed strip. The closed elongated indentation of the second electrode only forms a continuous edge of the body surrounding the second electrode. The point edges of the first electrode are aligned with the solid continuous edges of the corresponding second electrode, but the solid continuous edges of the first electrode are more inwardly reduced than the physical continuous edges of the corresponding second electrode.
從圖三B可以看出,第二電極上較為向外延伸的實體連續邊緣有一端逐漸向內縮減,切向相鄰之較為向內縮減的實體連續邊緣。第一電極的實體連續邊緣應該比第二電極的實體連續邊緣較為向內縮約2-12微米。第二電極上每一個比較向外延伸的實體連續邊緣,最好是有一端逐漸向內縮減,以30度至60度之間的斜角切向相鄰的實體連續邊緣。斜角之大小最好是45度。As can be seen from FIG. 3B, the continuous edge of the relatively outwardly extending solid body on the second electrode has an end which is gradually reduced inwardly, and a tangentially adjacent continuous edge which is more inwardly reduced. The solid continuous edge of the first electrode should be more inwardly contracted by about 2-12 microns than the solid continuous edge of the second electrode. Each of the second electrodes has a continuous edge that is relatively outwardly extending, preferably with one end gradually tapered inwardly, tangentially adjacent to the continuous edge of the entity at an oblique angle between 30 and 60 degrees. The size of the bevel is preferably 45 degrees.

In this embodiment, the second electrode also includes only the closed elongated strip, but the first electrode includes a closed elongated strip and an unsealed strip. Both the point edge and the solid continuous edge of the first electrode are not aligned with the solid continuous edges of the corresponding second electrode.
第一電極的點狀邊緣比相對應的第二電極的實體連續邊緣較為向內縮減,但第一電極的實體連續邊緣則比相對應的第二電極的實體連續邊緣較為向外延伸。從圖三C可以看出,第一電極的實體連續邊緣有一端逐漸變細,以30度至60度之間的斜角切向相鄰之點狀邊緣,而且第二電極上較為向外延伸的實體連續邊緣,也有一逐漸變細的凸出端,以斜角切向相鄰之較為向內縮減的實體連續邊緣。第一電極上的斜角與第二電極上的斜角形成互補。第二電極上的凸出斜角之大小最好是45度。The point-like edge of the first electrode is more inwardly reduced than the solid continuous edge of the corresponding second electrode, but the solid continuous edge of the first electrode extends outward more than the physical continuous edge of the corresponding second electrode. As can be seen from FIG. 3C, the solid continuous edge of the first electrode has a tapered end, tangentially adjacent to the dotted edge at an oblique angle between 30 and 60 degrees, and the second electrode extends outwardly. The continuous edge of the solid also has a tapered end that is tangentially slanted to the adjacent continuous edge of the more inwardly reduced solid. The bevel angle on the first electrode is complementary to the bevel angle on the second electrode. The size of the convex bevel on the second electrode is preferably 45 degrees.

In these variations, the second electrode comprises only a closed elongated strip, but the first electrode comprises a closed elongated strip and an unsealed strip-shaped gap, all of the solid continuous edges and the point edges of the first electrode The solid continuous edges of the two electrodes are not aligned with each other.
第一電極的未封閉長條狀缺口的開口端,所形成的點狀邊緣比相對應之第二電極的實體連續邊緣較為向內縮減,但在第一電極的實體連續邊緣則比相對應之第二電極的實體連續邊緣較為向外延伸。The open end of the first electrode that is not closed with the elongated notch, the formed point edge is more inwardly reduced than the corresponding physical continuous edge of the second electrode, but the corresponding continuous edge of the first electrode is corresponding to The solid continuous edges of the second electrode extend relatively outward.

The solid electrode pattern has two vertical sides, one of which is aligned with the more inwardly tapered point edge and the other side of which is joined to a closed elongated strip having a relatively continuous outwardly extending solid edge.
如圖四A所示的實施例中,第一電極上,一實心電極圖案形成在點狀邊緣較向內縮減的電極區上。該實心電極圖案重疊設置在第一電極上部分封閉長條狀缺口的末端及部分未封閉長條狀缺口的末端。In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4A, on the first electrode, a solid electrode pattern is formed on the electrode region where the dot edge is more inwardly reduced. The solid electrode patterns are overlapped on the first electrode to partially close the end of the elongated notch and the end of the partially unclosed elongated notch.
第二電極上,在每個實體連續邊緣開始向內縮減之附近區域,也形成有一實心電極圖案。該實心電極圖案有兩個垂直邊,其中一邊與較為向外延伸的實體連續邊緣對齊,另外一邊則與附近具有較為向內縮減之實體連續邊緣的封閉長條狀缺口連接。該實心電極圖案至少有一邊與封閉長條狀缺口的縱向方向相垂直。On the second electrode, a solid electrode pattern is also formed in the vicinity of the continuous edge of each solid which begins to decrease inward. The solid electrode pattern has two vertical sides, one of which is aligned with the continuous edge of the relatively outwardly extending solid, and the other side of which is joined to a closed elongated strip having a more inwardly decreasing solid continuous edge. The solid electrode pattern has at least one side that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the closed elongated strip.

In the corner of the region, the solid electrode pattern overlaps the end of the portion of the second electrode that closes the elongated strip. The solid electrode pattern formed on the first electrode is also at least one side perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the closed elongated notch.
對於那些形成在第二電極比第一電極較為向外延伸的實心電極圖案來說,從第一電極上的封閉長條狀缺口延伸出的實心電極圖案之面積,大於相對應之第二電極上的實心電極圖案的面積。For those solid electrode patterns formed on the second electrode that extend outwardly from the first electrode, the area of the solid electrode pattern extending from the closed elongated strip on the first electrode is larger than the corresponding second electrode The area of the solid electrode pattern.
圖四B顯示另一種非常類似圖四A的變化,從圖四B中可以看出,除了圖四A中所顯示的實心電極圖案之外,圖四B的變化係在圖四A中所顯示的實心電極圖案旁邊,緊接著形成另一實心電極圖案。Figure 4B shows another variation that is very similar to Figure 4A. As can be seen from Figure 4B, the variation of Figure 4B is shown in Figure 4A, except for the solid electrode pattern shown in Figure 4A. Next to the solid electrode pattern, another solid electrode pattern is formed.
如圖四B所示。在每個開始較為向外延伸的實體連續邊緣或較為向內縮減的點狀邊緣附近,形成兩個實心電極圖案,其中一個係在邊緣較為向內縮減的區域,而另一個則在邊緣較為向外延伸的區域,該兩個實心電極圖案彼此相連接。As shown in Figure 4B. In the vicinity of the continuous edge of the outwardly extending solid body or the more inwardly decreasing point edge, two solid electrode patterns are formed, one of which is in the area where the edge is more inwardly reduced, and the other is on the edge. In the outer extended region, the two solid electrode patterns are connected to each other.
對於在第二電極比第一電極邊緣較為向外延伸處,所形成的實心電極圖案來說,重疊設置於第一電極上的封閉長條狀缺口所延伸出的實心電極圖案之面積,大於該相對應之第二電極上的實心電極圖案的面積。The area of the solid electrode pattern extended by the closed elongated notch disposed on the first electrode is larger than the solid electrode pattern formed by the second electrode extending outwardly from the edge of the first electrode The area of the solid electrode pattern on the corresponding second electrode.
對於在第一電極比第二電極邊緣較為向外延伸處,所形成的實心電極圖案來說,重疊設置於第二電極上的封閉長條狀缺口所延伸出的實心電極圖案之面積,大於該相對應之第一電極上的實心電極圖案的面積。For the solid electrode pattern formed at a position where the first electrode extends outwardly from the edge of the second electrode, the area of the solid electrode pattern extended by the closed elongated notch disposed on the second electrode is larger than the area The area of the solid electrode pattern on the corresponding first electrode.
圖五A和圖五B顯示了根據本發明的像素區之顯示單元中的第一電極和第二電極之又一些變化。這些實施例與圖四A和圖四B所顯示的非常相似,其中不同的是,形成在較為向外延伸的實體連續邊緣或較為向內縮減之點狀邊緣附近的實心電極圖案,被蝕刻挖空的電極圖案所取代,如圖五A和5B所示。Figures 5A and 5B show still some variations of the first and second electrodes in the display unit of the pixel region in accordance with the present invention. These embodiments are very similar to those shown in Figures 4A and 4B, except that the solid electrode pattern formed near the continuous edge of the relatively outwardly extending solid or the more inwardly reduced point edge is etched. The empty electrode pattern is replaced by as shown in Figures 5A and 5B.
圖六A和圖六B顯示了根據本發明的像素區之顯示單元中的第一電極和第二電極之另一些變化。在本實施例中,第一電極和第二電極僅形成複數個封閉長條狀缺口,所有第一電極和第二電極之顯示單元周圍的實體連續邊緣都不互相對齊。Figures 6A and 6B show other variations of the first and second electrodes in the display unit of the pixel region in accordance with the present invention. In this embodiment, the first electrode and the second electrode form only a plurality of closed elongated strips, and the continuous edges of the entities around the display units of all the first and second electrodes are not aligned with each other.
在兩個走向互相垂直的封閉長條狀缺口,於互相交會的邊界區域,形成有兩個實心電極圖案。其中一個係在邊緣較為向內縮減的區域,而另一個則在邊緣較為向外延伸的區域。圖六B顯示出具有圖六A之第一電極和第二電極的顯示單元,所得到的之光強度分佈結果。圖七示出與圖六B相對應的顯示單元,處在兩個基板間隔之中間層的液晶分子之排列結果。In the two closed strip-shaped notches that are perpendicular to each other, two solid electrode patterns are formed in the boundary regions where the two intersect. One is in the area where the edge is more inwardly reduced, and the other is in the area where the edge is more outward. Fig. 6B shows the results of the obtained light intensity distribution of the display unit having the first electrode and the second electrode of Fig. 6A. Fig. 7 shows a display unit corresponding to Fig. 6B, in which the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules in the intermediate layer of the two substrate spaces is arranged.
