Description

Vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device and electronic installation
Technical field
The present invention relates to multizone (multidomain) LCD, and be particularly related to the multi-zone liquid crystal display that image shows that warp improves.
Background technology
Now, so that the flat-panel screens of the image that is equal to CRT to be provided, liquid crystal indicator is used in the picture of personal computer, TV, portable phone, various OA machines etc., thereby can expect that market further enlarges.
Generally speaking, liquid crystal indicator is to constitute by between two plate bases, injecting liquid crystal and regulating the structure that puts on this electric field intensity and regulate the light transmission amount.Among the liquid crystal indicator, vertical orientation (Vertically aligned; VA) liquid crystal indicator of mode has and is formed with transparency electrode at medial surface and disposes a pair of transparency carrier of Polarizer at lateral surface.Filling dielectric constant anisotropy is negative liquid crystal material between two transparency carriers, in case to electrode application voltage, then can produce electric field in the direction vertical with substrate, and the major axis of the liquid crystal molecule tendency direction vertical with electric field.Thus, in the liquid crystal indicator of VA type, though make in the liquid crystal molecule steering horizontal direction of substrate vertical orientation to change transmitance through the vertical electric field that applies vertical direction; But also the someone proposes multiregional vertical align (MVA type), that is in 1 pixel, the direction of liquid crystal molecules tilt is controlled on a plurality of directions.
Realizing the method for MVA type, the someone propose pixel electrode be provided with projection method, with the method that slit is set in pixel electrode portion.In the method for projection is set, do not applying under the state of voltage, orientation can the rough inclination along with the formation of projection in the liquid crystal molecule of vertical direction.The vergence direction of the liquid crystal molecule in the time of therefore, can voltage being applied is controlled at certain direction.In the method for slit portion was set, when applying voltage, the liquid crystal molecule that is positioned at slit portion can be the state of rough inclination with respect to direction of an electric field, and can reproduce the state identical with the situation that projection is set.
The alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecule when Fig. 4 a illustrates voltage under the situation of the electrode of the liquid crystal indicator that slit portion is arranged at known MVA type and applies.Though slit portion 45,46 etc. is arranged at the optional position of upper/lower electrode, but its position is not overlapping at upper/lower electrode.Shown in Fig. 4 a,, and can utilize the vergence direction of liquid crystal molecule to change to reach multizoneization at the slit portion periphery through variation because of the caused direction of an electric field of influence of slit portion.
In the method for slit portion is set, owing to can not produce electric field at slit portion, so liquid crystal molecule is homeotropic alignment haply.This is because under the very wide situation of slit portion, liquid crystal molecule can become greatly in the zone of the direction orientation vertical with substrate, and the transmitance of this part is approximately near 0, so the transmitance step-down.Therefore, generally speaking, the tendency that has the width (area) that makes slit portion to diminish; But in case the width of slit portion is contracted very for a short time words; Then between slit portion, also can produce electric field, the liquid crystal molecule on the slit portion can tilt toward the parallel direction of substrate, and receives near the influence of LCD alignment; For example, the liquid crystal molecule on the slit portion is as Fig. 4 b and orientation.Liquid crystal is tilted by left and right directions, and produces the core (core) 48 of liquid crystal orientation vertically in core.This core 48 causes in response to the size of slit portion width and applies variation in voltage and move, and causes the bad problem on the optical characteristics such as image is coarse.
In addition, be not limited to the MVA type, generally speaking; In the LCD of vertical orientation type, for example, in the connecting portion of each pixel, adjacency section etc.; Upper/lower electrode wherein one has the part that lacks, in this part, owing to become the cause with the slit portion same configuration of the electrode of above-mentioned MVA type; Therefore, in the zone that lacks electrode (slit portion), can form the different zone of direction of an electric field.Thus, in the different zone of alignment direction that forms liquid crystal molecule, its borderline region can form the core with the same liquid crystal alignment of above-mentioned MVA.In the connecting portion of each pixel, adjacency section etc., as stated and the core that produces can under the mobile situation, still can cause bad on the optical characteristics because applying the change of voltage.
Fig. 5 a illustrates the connecting portion 502 of the pixel 500 of vertical alignment liquid crystal display device.Fig. 5 b illustrates the electrode structure of the section that is positioned at X-X ' line.Since the only residual connection electrode 54 of above-mentioned connecting portion, and other part becomes the slit portion 55 of electrode, therefore can produce the electric field shown in the arrow of Fig. 5 b.According to the size that applies voltage, and because the influence of illustrated electric field etc. can produce core on connecting portion.But on connecting portion, the direction vertical with substrate can produce electric field, and this electric field and illustrated electric field effects with apply voltage one and change, the position of core is moved.
Fig. 5 c illustrates the core position in connecting portion and adjacency section generation.Shown in Fig. 5 c, core 59 is the interval generations with equalization.But, dwindle fully and under the situation that produces core on the connecting portion, because apply the variation of voltage, core can be mobile toward transverse direction (direction of arrow shown in Fig. 5 c) at the slit portion between pixel.Each pixel in same panel surface produces under the situation about moving of core at random, can cause bad optical characteristics.
In order to solve the problems referred to above that are positioned at connecting portion and adjacency section,, can cause aperture opening ratio to reduce though consider the slit portion width between pixel is enlarged fully.Therefore in addition,, become and to append circuit or change voltage applies order, can become the main cause that cost such as complex designization increases though also consider to apply the improvement method of different voltages in pixel adjacent.
