The liquid crystal indicator of multi-domain vertical orientation mode
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of liquid crystal indicator, particularly relate to a kind of multi-domain vertical orientation mode (Multi-domain Vertical Alignment, liquid crystal indicator MVA/PVA).
Background technology
Along with the development of information society, people are to the demand dramatic growth of display device.In order to satisfy this demand, several flat panel display equipments commonly used recently, as liquid crystal indicator (LCD), plasma display device (PDP), the OLED display device has all obtained swift and violent development.In the middle of flat-panel display device, liquid crystal indicator is because its weight is low, volume is little, advantage of low energy consumption, is progressively replacing the cold cathode display device.
Liquid crystal indicator is mainly by first substrate 111 and second substrate 112, and is clipped in two liquid crystal molecules 114 between the substrate and forms, as Figure 1A.According to the difference on the liquid crystal molecular orientation, liquid crystal indicator can be divided into and reverse display mode (TN), in-plane switching display mode (IPS), vertical orientated display mode (VA) etc.For vertical orientated display mode, be formed with public electrode 113 in first substrate, 111 inboards, be formed with pixel electrode 122 in second substrate, 112 inboards, thereby can form vertical electric field; Embed negative liquid crystal between two-layer transparency conducting layer, the specific inductive capacity that so-called negative liquid crystal is meant long axis of liquid crystal molecule is less than perpendicular to the specific inductive capacity on the direction of long axis of liquid crystal molecule.Do not having vertical electric field to act under the situation on the liquid crystal molecule, liquid crystal molecule 114 is perpendicular to first substrate 111 and second substrate 112, shown in Figure 1A.When vertical electric field acts on the liquid crystal molecule, because the specific inductive capacity of liquid crystal molecule 114 major axis is less, so liquid crystal molecule 114 is under electric field action, the orientation of specific direction can take place, finally, just be parallel to orientation substrate and arrange, shown in Figure 1B perpendicular to electric field.Compare with the TN pattern, vertical alignment mode has the advantage at high-contrast, high visual angle, and switch (IPS) pattern is compared in the coplanar, and vertical alignment mode has high-contrast, the advantage of high aperture.In addition, owing in the middle of vertical alignment mode, used vertical alignment layer, on production technology, do not need to adopt friction.And in the production run of large size panel, friction tends to cause friction unequal bad, the yield in producing is brought very big influence, so vertical alignment mode is fit to be applied in the production of large size panel very much.
Certainly vertical alignment mode also has the weakness of oneself, it shows that mainly the aberration specific surface internal switch mode under the different visual angles is poor, in order to improve the viewing angle characteristic of vertical alignment mode, (Multi-Domain Vertical Alignment MVA) improves the viewing angle characteristic of vertical alignment mode to have mentioned the vertical orientated display mode that adopts multiple domain in European patent 0884626A2.In the MVA display mode, liquid crystal molecule is divided into 4 territories by ITO slit or protrusion of surface, when applying electric field, the sense of rotation of the liquid crystal molecule in the same area is all not inequality, like this when certain direction is observed, with respect to this direction of observation, the optical delay that the liquid crystal molecule in each territory causes is also just inequality, and each regional optical delay on average can obtain relatively better viewing angle characteristic each other.
The slit of above-mentioned vertical alignment mode or protrusion of surface are generally arranged along 45 degree directions, and its pixel electrode of existing pixel is rectangular-shaped, as shown in Figure 3, be formed with rectangular-shaped pixel electrode 122 at sweep trace 115 and data line 116 crossing places, so when projection that mixes into 45 degree color membrane substrates of directions or array base palte or slit, because the influence of fringing field effect, orientation at the position at some edge liquid crystal molecule is understood some disorder, thereby causes these zone appearance not wish the black line that exists.See also Fig. 2 A and 2B, the corner areas that intersects at projection 117 and data line 116, liquid crystal molecule 114 is because fringing field effect, and not exclusively be orientated according to ideal orientation, thereby produce these black lines 119, black line 119 is not only influential to response speed, and also very big for the influence of the transmitance of corresponding site.
At the problems referred to above, the solution that European patent 0884626A2 provides is to adopt the pixel that is the Zigzag style, by revising the shape of pixel, makes because the zone of the black line that fringing field causes reduces significantly.See also Fig. 4, be formed with Zigzag shape pixel electrode 122 at sweep trace 115 and data line 116 crossing places, sweep trace 115 correspondingly is a polyline shaped; Please continue referring to Fig. 5, be formed with Zigzag shape pixel electrode 122 at sweep trace 115 and data line 116 crossing places, data line 116 correspondingly is a polyline shaped.Above-mentioned two kinds of solutions must the arrange in pairs or groups sweep trace or the data line of polyline shaped, so that be complementary with Zigzag shape pixel electrode 122, not only make the manufacturing process complexity, and the sweep trace of polyline shaped or data line can increase signal delay, and then influence the brightness and contrast of liquid crystal display device.

At first be the making of sweep trace: at substrate sputtering deposit the first metal layer, through the photoresist coating, operations such as exposure, development, etching obtain sweep trace 115 at described the first metal layer.
Then on substrate, continue depositing insulating layer, form by a-Si and n+a Si respectively.Through the photoresist coating, operations such as exposure, development, etching are finished the making of semiconductor layer figure, and form channel region.
Then continue deposition second metal level on substrate, through the photoresist coating, operations such as exposure, development, etching obtain data line 116, source, drain electrode 123, and data line 116 links to each other with one of source, drain electrode 123.
Then on substrate, continue deposit passivation layer, and etch contact hole 121, naked another utmost point that drops out source, drain electrode 123 at specific position.
Sputter transparency conducting layer and carry out etching on substrate obtains pixel electrode 122 and slit 125 at last.Another of pixel electrode 122 and the source of drawing from contact hole 121, drain electrode 123 extremely links to each other.Pixel electrode 122 is roughly an isosceles trapezoid of vertically placing, and its base angle is about 45 degree, thereby makes a waist of slit 125 and pixel electrode 122 parallel.Last and corresponding color membrane substrates fits together, and finishes the making of product.
Aspect transmitance, use corresponding simulation softward, do not consider the absorption of color membrane substrates itself, adopt vertical alignment mode, driving voltage 6V, after display area normalization, the comparing result of dot structure of the present invention and existing dot structure is as follows:
