Background technology
Liquid crystal indicator is to use now a kind of in maximum panel display apparatus, it mainly is made up of the liquid crystal layer that injects between two board structures and the board structure, two board structures are provided with the electrode that can produce electric field, the liquid crystal molecule of liquid crystal layer moves with electric field behind the electrode generation voltage, liquid crystal molecule according to the certain orientation rotation, makes light pass liquid crystal layer according to certain refractive index under effect of electric field.
Liquid crystal indicator can be divided into transmission-type according to its display mode, Transflective and reflection-type.So-called transmission-type is the display mode that utilizes backlight display frame, reflection-type is to utilize the display mode of the light display frame of injecting from the outside, Transflective is the display mode between transmission-type and reflection-type, and promptly Transflective both can utilize backlight also can utilize the light of injecting from the outside.
Liquid crystal indicator is divided into according to the direction of an electric field that it drives liquid crystal: vertical electric field type liquid crystal display device and lateral electric-field type liquid crystal display device, wherein comprise in the vertical electric field type liquid crystal display device: twisted nematic (Twist Nematic, be designated hereinafter simply as " TN ") structure and vertical orientating type (VerticalAlign is designated hereinafter simply as " VA ") structure etc.; Comprise in the lateral electric-field type liquid crystal display device: interior switch type (InPlane Switch is designated hereinafter simply as " the IPS ") structure of fringing field switch type (Fringe Field Switch is designated hereinafter simply as " FFS ") structure and face etc.Vertical electric field type liquid crystal display device is to form vertical electric field by the public electrode that is separately positioned on the pixel electrode on the array base palte and be arranged on the colored filter substrate; Lateral electric-field type liquid crystal display device is by being arranged on pixel electrode on the array base palte and public electrode to form transverse electric field.Vertical electric field type and lateral electric-field type liquid crystal display device are known technology now, and product enters produce market already accordingly, therefore here its concrete structure no longer are described in further detail.In addition, its simple structure of TN type liquid crystal indicator is widely used in the small-sized panel display apparatus; FFS type liquid crystal indicator and IPS type liquid crystal indicator etc. are then compared other patterns and are had better viewing angle properties, therefore are widely used in the high quality flat panel display.
Therefore the light that transflective type liquid crystal display device need be injected from the outside with baffle reflection structurally increased resin bed that is used to form the reflecting plate embossing and the reflection board structure that is used for reflection ray than transmissive liquid crystal display device.Transflective type liquid crystal display device is corresponding in original transmissive liquid crystal display device to have increased above-mentioned sandwich construction, therefore the array base palte surface of transflective liquid crystal display device presents very irregular surface, specifically: because the regional transmission in pixel region is different with the reflector space structure, present irregular surface at pixel region, thereby caused having increased in the process of design liquid crystal cell the difficulty of setting parameters (thickness of resin bed, the thickness of passivation layer, cel-gap etc.).
Fig. 1 is existing half transmitting array base-plate structure synoptic diagram.As shown in Figure 1, formed grid line (not drawing among the figure) and gate electrode 2, gate insulation layer 3, active layer 4, source-drain electrode 5, data line (not drawing among the figure), resin bed 6, reflecting plate 7, passivation layer 8 and pixel electrode 9 on glass substrate 1 surface successively, be specially: grid line and gate electrode 2 and gate insulation layer 3 have been set on the glass substrate 1; Active layer 4 is positioned at gate electrode 2 tops, and is separated with gate insulation layer 3 between active layer 4 and the gate electrode 2; Source-drain electrode 5 is positioned on the active layer 4 and isolation channel is set, and source-drain electrode 5 one ends are connected with pixel electrode 9 with data line binding, the other end; Resin bed 6 is positioned on the gate insulation layer 3, and its surface is provided with rough embossing; Reflecting plate 7 is positioned on the resin bed 6, and its surface is formed with rough embossing equally, to improve reflectivity; Passivation layer 8 is positioned on source-drain electrode 5 and the reflecting plate 7; Pixel electrode 9 is positioned at passivation layer 8 surfaces, covers the pixel region that is used for Show Color, is connected with an end of source-drain electrode 5 by the via hole on the passivation layer 8 81.
Because prior art forms embossing by resin bed in the reflector space of pixel region, and reflecting plate is set thereon, cause the former surface that rises and falls that should smooth pixel region become, make liquid crystal injection rate IR difference in the pixel region, regional transmission in the pixel region has different distance light travels with reflector space simultaneously, has increased the difficulty of setting parameters (thickness of resin, the thickness of passivation layer, cel-gap etc.) when therefore designing liquid crystal cell.In addition, the resin bed and the reflection board structure that are provided with embossing produce many adverse effects for the stability between other parameters, even therefore product produces some potential adverse effects to its steady operation after rolling off the production line.
