Get back to Fig. 1, a pixel comprises two switching device Qa, Qb, and two pixel electrode Pa, Pb being connected to switching device Qa, Qb respectively.Here, suppose that relative higher data voltage puts on the first pixel electrode Pa, and relatively low data voltage puts on the second pixel electrode Pb.Hereinafter, low data voltage and high data voltage are represented low difference or the higher difference between common voltage and the data voltage.In addition, have the pixel that is subjected to the first sub-pixel Pa of data voltage by the first data line Da and be called A type pixel; Have the pixel that is subjected to the first sub-pixel Pa of data voltage by the second data line Db and be called the Type B pixel.
As shown in Figure 1, A type pixel and Type B pixel along continuous straight runs and vertical direction (that is, along first and second directions) are alternately arranged, and therefore can prevent to observe in LCD vertical striped or horizontal stripe.
If data voltage is imposed on the first pixel electrode Pa of all pixels by the first data line Da, promptly, if pel array only comprises A type pixel, if and LCD will observe the vertical striped that moves with respect to check pattern (its pixel along continuous straight runs by every frame moves) along continuous straight runs so with the driven words of row counter-rotating (column inversion) pattern.
Furtherly, if data voltage is imposed on the first pixel electrode Pa of a pixel column by the first data line Da, and data voltage is imposed on the first pixel electrode Pa of next pixel column by the second data line Db, promptly, when A type pixel column and Type B pixel column are alternately arranged, so, just may prevent the vertical striped that along continuous straight runs above-mentioned moves.Yet, at each first pixel electrode Pa and be arranged between the first and second data line Da, the Db of each first pixel electrode Pa both sides and be coupled.Because the coupling capacitance between each first pixel electrode Pa and the first and second data line Da, the Db changes according to A type pixel and Type B pixel, so, can observe horizontal stripe.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 1 according to the present invention the LCD of first exemplary embodiment because A type pixel and Type B pixel along continuous straight runs and alternately arrangement of vertical direction, thereby just might prevent vertical striped or the horizontal stripe that above-mentioned along continuous straight runs moves.Yet when the LCD with this structure moved under low gray scale level, liquid crystal moved by the first pixel electrode Pa that is subjected to relative high voltage substantially.Therefore, the difference of the coupling capacitance between the coupling capacitance between the first pixel electrode Pa and the first data line Da and the first pixel electrode Pa and the second data line Db reduces, thereby prevents that the display quality that causes owing to cross-talk from reducing.
In addition, as the present invention's first exemplary embodiment, because first, second data line Da, Db are arranged so that the second pixel electrode Pb and first, second data line Da, Db overlap, and the second pixel electrode Pb is around the first pixel electrode Pa, even therefore when A type pixel and Type B pixel be not along continuous straight runs and vertical direction when being arranged alternately, also might prevent the appearance of vertical striped or horizontal stripe.That is to say,, can prevent the reduction of display quality by reducing the difference of the coupling capacitance between first, second data line Da, Db and the first pixel electrode Pa.About this point, will be further described below.

Bottom display panel with said structure aligns with the top display panel and is connected to each other, and liquid crystal material injects up and down between the display panel and homeotropic alignment.Like this, the foundation structure according to the LCD of first exemplary embodiment has just formed.
Pixel electrode 82 and common electrode 90 are not being applied under the situation of electric field, the Liquid Crystal Molecules Alignment that comprises in the liquid crystal layer is for making its direction vow perpendicular to bottom display panel and top display panel.In addition, liquid crystal molecule has negative dielectric anisotropic.
Except above-mentioned basic structure, LCD also can comprise such as polarizer and parts backlight.Here, polarizer can be separately positioned on the both sides of basic structure, so that an emission shaft of polarizer is parallel with gate line 22, and another emission shaft is vertical with gate line 22.
When between bottom display panel and top display panel, applying electric field, almost all can produce perpendicular to the electric field of display panel up and down at All Ranges.Yet horizontal component of electric field produces around the territory segmenting device 92 of the gap 83 of pixel electrode 82 and common electrode 90.Horizontal component of electric field assists to arrange the liquid crystal molecule in each territory.
Because the liquid crystal molecule of this embodiment has negative dielectric anisotropic, therefore when liquid crystal molecule was applied electric field, the liquid crystal molecule in each territory will tilt, with gap 83 or to cut apart the territory segmenting device 92 in described territory vertical.Therefore, 83 both sides or territory segmenting device 92 upper edge different directions tilt liquid crystal molecule in the gap, and the sloping portion of the sloping portion in gap 83 or territory segmenting device 92 is about each pixel center symmetry.Like this, liquid crystal molecule tilts 45 ° or-45 ° with respect to gate line 22 substantially along four direction.Because optical characteristics is able to complementation because of the liquid crystal molecule that tilts along four direction, the visual angle increases.
Below, with reference to Fig. 3 A to Fig. 5, the operation of the exemplary L CD of first exemplary embodiment according to the present invention is described.
In A type pixel, apply relative higher data voltage to the first pixel electrode 82a that is connected in the first data line 62a, apply relatively low data voltage to the second pixel electrode 82b that is connected in the second data line 62b.Therefore, may improve the sidepiece visibility of LCD.
Particularly, when LCD moved under low gray scale level, liquid crystal moved by the first pixel electrode 82a that is subjected to higher data voltage substantially, and the second sub-pixel 82b is applied voltage.In this case, because the second pixel electrode 82b is subjected to and the identical voltage of common electrode 90 on the display panel of top substantially, the liquid crystal molecule that therefore is arranged on second pixel electrode 82b top will be arranged in and make its direction vow perpendicular to the bottom display panel.Therefore, the light of being launched from backlight can not pass the second pixel electrode 82b, but has been blocked.
When LCD moved under the high grade grey level level, because the overall brightness of LCD is higher, so light leaked unimportant.In view of this, prevent that the light when LCD moves from leaking even more important under low gray scale level.Usually, light leaks around first, second data line 62a, 62b and takes place.But, as in first exemplary embodiment of the present invention, when the second pixel electrode 82b and first, second data line 62a, 62b overlapping, and when LCD moves under low gray scale level, the light that passes the second pixel electrode 82b is stopped by the second pixel electrode 82b, and can prevent that the light around first, second data line 62a, the 62b from leaking.Furtherly, can prevent that light from leaking by the area that uses the second pixel electrode 82b around the first pixel electrode 82a and do not increase black matrix" 94, thereby improve the aperture ratio.
When the first pixel electrode 82a that is subjected to high voltage was not consistent each other with the coupling capacitance between first, second data line 62a, the 62b, the display performance of LCD can reduce.For this reason, the first pixel electrode 82a is configured such that the pixel electrode 82a that wins does not overlap with first, second data line 62a, 62b, to reduce the coupling capacitance between the first pixel electrode 82a and first, second data line 62a, the 62b.So just can prevent that coupling capacitance from influencing the display performance of LCD.
Below, with reference to Fig. 6, will another part of the exemplary bottom display panel of the exemplary L CD of first exemplary embodiment according to the present invention be described.Fig. 6 is the arrangenent diagram of the exemplary bottom display panel of the exemplary Type B pixel that comprises Fig. 1 of first exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.For convenience of description, with same reference numbers represent to have with Fig. 3 A to Fig. 5 in the parts of those parts identical functions, and thereby omit description to it.Hereinafter only be described at difference.
As shown in Figure 6, different with A type pixel is that the Type B pixel comprises: be connected to the first drain electrode 66a of the second pixel electrode 82b and the second drain electrode 66b that is connected to the first pixel electrode 82a by the second contact hole 76b by the first contact hole 76a.Apply relative higher voltage to the first pixel electrode 82a that is connected to the second data line 62b, and apply relatively low voltage to the second pixel electrode 82b that is connected to the first data line 62a.Therefore, can improve the sidepiece visibility of LCD.
Under the situation of the LCD with said structure, can prevent that first, second data line 62a, 62b light on every side from leaking and improving the aperture ratio of LCD.In addition, the coupling capacitance between the first pixel electrode 82a and first, second data line 62a, the 62b reduces, thereby prevents the reduction of the display performance of LCD.
Below, with reference to Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B, the exemplary bottom display panel of the exemplary L CD of second exemplary embodiment according to the present invention is described in detail.Fig. 7 A is the arrangenent diagram of the exemplary bottom display panel of the A type pixel that comprises Fig. 1 of second exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.Fig. 7 B shows along the cross-sectional view of the exemplary bottom display panel of the line VIIB-VIIB ' intercepting of Fig. 7 A.For convenience of description, with same reference numbers represent to have with the foregoing description (Fig. 1 to Fig. 6) in the parts of those parts identical functions, and thereby omit description to it.Hereinafter only be described at difference.
Shown in Fig. 7 A and 7B, in order further to reduce the coupling capacitance between the first pixel electrode 82a and first, second data line 62a, the 62b, form first, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, the 29b that are connected to storage line 28 and substantially vertically extend and parallel with first, second data line 62a, 62b.
Here, first, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, 29b can form and make the gap 83 that the first pixel electrode 82a and the second pixel electrode 82b are separated from each other partly overlap with first, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, 29b.Here, gap 83 comprises sloping portion and vertical part, and wherein sloping portion tilts about 45 ° or-45 ° with respect to gate line 22, and vertical component is connected between the sloping portion and along first, second data line 62a, 62b and arranges.Therefore, preferably, first, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, 29b partly overlap with the vertical part in the gap 83 of contiguous first, second data line 62a, 62b.First, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, 29b can be outstanding from the edge of storage electrode 27.
First, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, 29b and the first pixel electrode 82a form holding capacitor, thereby can prevent the coupling between the first pixel electrode 82a and first, second data line 62a, the 62b.
In addition, shown in Fig. 7 B, when the first pixel electrode 82a partly overlaps with first, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, 29b, can further reduce the coupling capacitance between the first pixel electrode 82a and first, second data line 62a, the 62b.Overlapping width between the first pixel electrode 82a and each first, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, the 29b is L, and size can be for example about 1 to about 3 μ m.
Below, with reference to Fig. 8, another part of the exemplary bottom display panel of the exemplary L CD of second exemplary embodiment according to the present invention is described.Fig. 8 is the arrangenent diagram of the exemplary bottom display panel of the exemplary Type B pixel that comprises Fig. 1 of second exemplary embodiment according to the present invention.Be convenient and describe, with same reference numbers represent to have with Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B in the parts of those parts identical functions, and thereby omit description to it.Hereinafter only be described at difference.
As shown in Figure 8, in the Type B pixel, the first drain electrode 66a is connected in the second pixel electrode 82b by the first contact hole 76a, and the second drain electrode 66b is connected in the first pixel electrode 82a by the second contact hole 76b.Apply relative higher voltage to the first pixel electrode 82a that is connected in the second data line 62b, and apply relatively low voltage to the second pixel electrode 82b that is connected in the first data line 62a.Therefore, can improve the sidepiece visibility of LCD.
As top description to the A type pixel shown in Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B, the Type B pixel shown in Fig. 8 comprises first, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, 29b.
Under the situation of the LCD with said structure,, can prevent that the light around first, second data line 62a, the 62b from leaking, and improve the aperture ratio of LCD as first exemplary embodiment.In addition, by first, second auxiliary storage electrode 29a, 29b, the coupling capacitance between the first pixel electrode 82a and first, second data line 62a, the 62b also further effectively reduces, thereby the display performance that prevents LCD reduces.
Below, with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 9 A and Fig. 9 B, pixel electrode in LCD according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and the coupling capacitance between the data line are described.Preferably, when in LCD, showing dynamic image, increased the frequency of received image signal and improved the response speed of liquid crystal molecule, to prevent afterimage and to wait to produce the fuzzy of image.For example, among the LCD that moves, preferably, consider the response speed of liquid crystal molecule under 120Hz or higher frequency, LCD is driven with the row reversing mode, but not is driven with a reversing mode.Hereinafter, will be according to as an example the coupling capacitance between pixel electrode and the data line being described in detail by the driven LCD of row reversing mode.In with the driven LCD of row reversing mode, in first image duration, apply the positive polarity data voltage to the first data line Da, apply the negative polarity data voltage (here to the second data line Db, positive-negative polarity refers to the polarity of data voltage with respect to common voltage, will describe in detail with reference to Figure 16 as following).In second image duration, apply the negative polarity data voltage to the first data line Da, apply the positive polarity data voltage to the second data line Db.
At first, with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 9 A, the first pixel electrode Pa that is subjected to higher data voltage and the coupling capacitance between data line Da, the Db are described.Fig. 9 A is the view that the luminance difference between the exemplary first pixel electrode Pa of the exemplary first pixel electrode Pa of the exemplary A type pixel of Fig. 1 when gray scale level changes and exemplary Type B pixel.Here, because the area that the first pixel electrode Pa of A type pixel and Type B pixel adjoins with the first data line Da is greater than the area that adjoins with the second data line Db, therefore the coupling capacitance between the first pixel electrode Pa and the first data line Da has mainly influenced the brightness variation of LCD.In addition, under the high grade grey level level, the first pixel electrode Pa always has high brightness, and under low gray scale level, brightness but takes place change.
In the situation of A type pixel,, apply the positive polarity data voltage to the first pixel electrode Pa by the first data line Da in first image duration.In second image duration, apply the negative polarity data voltage to the first data line Da.Thereby, second image duration before applying data voltage to the first pixel electrode Pa, between the first pixel electrode Pa and the first data line Da, be coupled, and reduced the data voltage that in first image duration, is stored among the first pixel electrode Pa.Therefore, the brightness of the first pixel electrode Pa also weakens thereupon.
In the situation of Type B pixel,, apply the negative polarity data voltage to the first pixel electrode Pa by the second data line Db in first image duration.In second image duration, apply the negative polarity data voltage to the first data line Da.Thereby, second image duration by the second data line Db before the first pixel electrode Pa applies data voltage, be coupled between the first pixel electrode Pa and the first data line Da, therefore the data voltage that is stored among the first pixel electrode Pa in first image duration further increases.Therefore, the brightness of the first pixel electrode Pa also strengthens thereupon.
In Fig. 9 A, the luminance difference data refer to: about poor with about the brightness RMS numerical value of the first pixel electrode Pa of the Type B pixel of first and second frames of brightness root mean square (RMS) numerical value of the first pixel electrode Pa of the A type pixel of first and second frames.Shown in Fig. 9 A, even have luminance difference between the first pixel electrode Pa of A type pixel and Type B pixel under the low gray scale level, but difference also only is about 1.5% or lower.This just means that the coupling capacitance between the first pixel electrode Pa and first, second data line Da, the Db also reduces greatly.
With reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 9 B, the second pixel electrode Pb that is subjected to lower data voltage and the coupling capacitance between data line Da, the Db are described.Fig. 9 B shows when gray scale level changes, the luminance difference between the exemplary second pixel electrode Pb of the exemplary second pixel electrode Pb of the exemplary A type pixel of Fig. 1 and the exemplary Type B pixel of Fig. 1.Here, because the second pixel electrode Pb of A type, Type B pixel is bigger than the overlapping area between its same second data line Db with the overlapping area between the first data line Da, so the second sub-pixel Pb changes with the brightness that the coupling capacitance between the first data line Da mainly influences LCD.In addition, because the second sub-pixel Pb does not move under low gray scale level and only moves under the high grade grey level level, therefore, the variation of luminance difference occurs under the high grade grey level level.
In the situation of A type pixel,, apply the negative polarity data voltage to the second pixel electrode Pb by the second data line Db in first image duration.In second image duration, apply the negative polarity data voltage to the first data line Da.Thereby, in second image duration, by the second data line Db before the second pixel electrode Pb applies data voltage, between the second pixel electrode Pb and the first data line Da, be coupled, and the data voltage that is stored among the second pixel electrode Pb in first image duration increases.Therefore, the brightness of the second pixel electrode Pb also strengthens thereupon.
In the situation of Type B pixel,, apply the positive polarity data voltage to the second pixel electrode Pb by the first data line Da in first image duration.In second image duration, apply the negative polarity data voltage to the first data line Da.Thereby, in second image duration, by the first data line Da before the second pixel electrode Pb applies data voltage, be coupled between the second pixel electrode Pb and the first data line Da, and the data voltage that is stored among the second pixel electrode Pb in first image duration reduces.Therefore, the brightness of the second pixel electrode Pa also weakens thereupon.
In Fig. 9 B, the luminance difference data refer to: about poor with about the brightness RMS numerical value of the second pixel electrode Pb of the Type B pixel of first and second frames of the brightness RMS numerical value of the second pixel electrode Pb of the A type pixel of first and second frames.Shown in Fig. 9 B, even have luminance difference between the second sub-pixel Pb in A type and Type B pixel under the high grade grey level level, luminance difference also only is about 2.5% or lower.This just means, even when the second pixel electrode Pb and first, second data line Da, Db overlapping, also only have less coupling capacitance between the second pixel electrode Pb and first, second data line Da, the Db.Below, with reference to Figure 10 to Figure 11 C, will the exemplary L CD of the 3rd exemplary embodiment according to the present invention be described.Be convenient and describe, with same reference numbers represent to have with the foregoing description in the parts of those parts identical functions, and thereby omit description to it.Hereinafter only be described at difference.

Here, at the first sub-pixel P HFirst pixel electrode and the second sub-pixel P LSecond pixel electrode in can form different data voltages.
Particularly, by first, second switching device Q1, Q2 from data line D LIn apply identical data voltage to first pixel electrode with second pixel electrode.Here, because first pixel electrode and the first storage line SL 1Link to each other, be applied to the data voltage of first pixel electrode and be applied to the first storage line SL 1First storage voltage be coupled, so the numerical value of data voltage changes.In an identical manner, because second pixel electrode and the second storage line SL 2Link to each other, be applied to the data voltage of second pixel electrode and be applied to the second storage line SL 2Storage voltage be coupled, so the numerical value of data voltage changes.As mentioned above, when first, second storage voltage had the voltage that differs from one another, as a result of, the data voltage that forms in first and second pixel electrodes also had mutually different voltage.
Such as, the data voltage that forms in first pixel electrode can have the numerical value bigger than the data voltage that forms in second pixel electrode.In this case, the first sub-pixel P HCan under low gray scale level, bring into operation, and the second sub-pixel P LCan be in middle gray level or more move under the high grade grey level level.
