Description

LCD with transverse electric field
[technical field]
The invention relates to a kind of LCD, particularly about a kind of LCD with transverse electric field with wide viewing angle.
[background technology]
LCD with transverse electric field (In Plane Switching mode LCD, IPS LCD) is widely used in the monitor of desktop PC and notebook computer owing to have good display performance.LCD with transverse electric field is one of main flow wide viewing angle LCD technology, itself and common Twisted Nematic LCD (Twisted Nematic LCD, TN-LCD) difference is: the common electrode of IPS LCD and pixel electrode are arranged on the same glass substrate, it utilizes the transverse electric field that produces between common electrode and pixel electrode that liquid crystal molecule is rotated in same plane, has advantages such as wide viewing angle, high-luminous-efficiency and high-contrast.
Different according to the electrode arranging structure of common electrode and pixel electrode, LCD with transverse electric field can be divided into two types of single zone (Single Domain) and dual area (Two Domain).Fig. 1 is the electrode arranging structure vertical view of the single regional LCD with transverse electric field of prior art.One pixel region of this LCD with transverse electric field comprises gate line 11, a data line 12 that vertically is provided with, a thin film transistor (TFT) TFT (Thin FilmTransistor) 16 and a plurality of common electrode 141 and pixel electrode 151 of a horizontally set.This common electrode 141 is vertical bar shaped band electrode and parallel interval setting with pixel electrode 151.Be parallel to the substrate electric field of (figure does not show) when when common electrode 141 and 151 of pixel electrodes apply a voltage, producing one, be parallel in the plane of substrate one at liquid crystal molecule under this effect of electric field and rotate.Because this common electrode 141 all is the band electrode of vertical bar shaped with pixel electrode 151, so this electric field is uniform electric field, it is consistent that its intensity and direction are, and the liquid crystal molecule in each pixel only rotates towards single direction.So when when different direction is observed, can producing the phenomenon that color changes, promptly so-called colour cast (Color Shift), thus influence the display quality of LCD.
For solving the colour cast problem of the single regional LCD with transverse electric field of prior art, industry proposes another kind of electrode arranging structure.Fig. 2 is the electrode arranging structure vertical view of prior art dual area LCD with transverse electric field, common electrode 142 has a sweep (not indicating) respectively with pixel electrode 152, this bend is divided into "〉" shape, this common electrode 142 is with pixel electrode 152 spaces and be arranged in parallel.Please refer to Fig. 3, when 152 of common electrode 142 and pixel electrodes did not apply voltage, liquid crystal molecule was arranged along the inceptive direction shown in the arrow A; When common electrode 142 and 152 of pixel electrodes apply a voltage, produce two and be parallel to the substrate electric field E of (figure does not show) 10, E 20, this electric field E 10With electric field E 20The direction difference because liquid crystal molecule is the eurymeric liquid crystal, and the initial alignment direction of liquid crystal molecule is different with the electric field angulation, so liquid crystal molecule is at this two electric field E 10, E 20Effect under to the rotation of two opposite directions, wherein be positioned at electric field E 10In liquid crystal molecule clockwise direction rotation, be positioned at electric field E 20In liquid crystal molecule counterclockwise rotate.So common electrode 142 that should bending is divided into two different zones with the liquid crystal molecule of pixel electrode 152 and rotation in the opposite direction with a pixel, this two different zone has different viewing angle characteristics, so this dual area LCD with transverse electric field can be eliminated the colour cast problem of single regional LCD with transverse electric field, thereby improve the display quality of LCD.The dual area LCD with transverse electric field is the mainstream technology of present LCD TV (LCD TV).
But the visual angle up and down of this dual area LCD with transverse electric field is bigger, and the visual angle of other direction is less, causes the contrast difference of different visual angles.LCD TV requires the contrast at arbitrary visual angle all identical on using, and makes vision uniformity coefficient height.
[summary of the invention]
Less and the different problem of contrast different visual angles for the LCD with transverse electric field visual angle that overcomes prior art the invention provides the contrast identical LCD with transverse electric field of a kind of visual angle than big and different visual angles.
The technical scheme that technical solution problem of the present invention is adopted is: a kind of LCD with transverse electric field is provided, comprises that two first substrates that relatively are provided with and second substrate, are formed at data line and a plurality of common electrode and pixel electrode that is formed at first substrate that gate line, that liquid crystal layer, between first substrate and second substrate is formed at first substrate and horizontal expansion is formed at first substrate and longitudinal extension.This gate line and data line form a pixel region, this common electrode is crooked shape, and the space setting similar of the shape of this pixel electrode to the shape of common electrode, this common electrode comprises two sweeps at least, each sweep has two first side and the second sides of intersecting, and wherein a side of at least one sweep and the corresponding side of other sweeps are obliquely installed.
Compared to prior art, because the common electrode of LCD with transverse electric field of the present invention is with pixel electrode is arranged on the same substrate and the space arrangement, this common electrode and pixel electrode comprise two sweeps at least, each sweep has two first side and the second sides of intersecting, because a side and the corresponding side of other sweeps of at least one sweep are obliquely installed, so liquid crystal molecule rotates to three different directions under electric field action at least, so each pixel region is divided into three zones at least, each zone has different viewing angle characteristics, therefore can improve the visual angle of all directions and make the contrast at each visual angle identical, thereby improve display quality.
