Fig. 4 A is not when applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer of Fig. 2 B, corresponding to the arrangement synoptic diagram of the liquid crystal molecule of second sub-pixel.For Graphic Expression is clear, so Fig. 4 A is identical with Fig. 3 B, only illustrates with the light penetrating shaft and the liquid crystal molecule of polaroid.Fig. 5 is the driving method block diagram of the liquid crystal indicator of one embodiment of the invention.Please be simultaneously with reference to figure 2B, Fig. 3 B, Fig. 4 A and Fig. 5.
When driving liquid crystal device 1000 not, be positioned at the liquid crystal molecule 410a of the first sub-pixel 210a and the second sub-pixel 210b, the major axis bearing of trend of 410b is approximately perpendicular to the surface 212 of substrate 210.When light through after the polaroid 600, can be absorbed with the polarized light of the light penetrating shaft EF different directions of polaroid 600.Afterwards, the polarization direction is that the light of EF gets into liquid crystal molecule 410, because liquid crystal molecule 410 is not toppled over, the light that therefore penetrates from liquid crystal molecule 410 can not change its polarization direction.At last; Light is through polaroid 500 time; Because the light penetrating shaft GH of polaroid 500 is vertical each other with the light penetrating shaft EF of polaroid 600, so the polarization direction is that the light of EF can be absorbed and can't appear from liquid crystal indicator 1000 by polaroid 500, and the first sub-pixel 210a is dark attitude at this moment.
When desiring driving liquid crystal device 1000, liquid crystal indicator 1000 can receive selects signal, and this selects signal can determine liquid crystal indicator 1000 to show with narrow visual angle display mode or normal displaying mode, like step S100.
The selection signal of present embodiment can be via user's input, be additional in the picture signal, produces according to the power supply state of this liquid crystal indicator or produce according to the environmental parameter sensing result.In detail, when the user thinks that next liquid crystal indicator 1000 want images displayed to belong to secret and can not outflow, the user can utilize manual pressing keys or show with narrow visual angle display mode via software indicator solution crystal device 1000.Perhaps; Indicator solution crystal device 1000 also can be to be additional in the picture signal with the instruction that narrow visual angle display mode shows; For example when the user opened the picture signal of this instruction with the display mode demonstration of narrow visual angle, liquid crystal indicator 1000 just can automatically perform with narrow visual angle display mode and show.Moreover, also can be to determine whether selecting showing with narrow visual angle display mode according to the environmental parameter sensing result, for example be the environmental parameter of ambient brightness and so on.In addition; It also can be the electric power supply condition of Auto-Sensing liquid crystal indicator 1000 and getting; Do not open narrow visual angle display mode when for example liquid crystal indicator 1000 is battery-powered; And when liquid crystal indicator 1000 be when utilizing electric wire to connect external power source, just open narrow visual angle display mode automatically.
When selecting liquid crystal indicator 1000 to show, then when driving first sub-pixel, 2100 demonstration normal pictures, make second sub-pixel 2200 be dark attitude, like step S110 with normal displaying mode.In detail, can apply driving voltage during driving liquid crystal device 1000 so that the liquid crystal molecule 410a that is positioned at the first sub-pixel 240a topples over and makes light to penetrate towards A, B, C, D four direction, the first sub-pixel 240a is bright attitude.At this moment, the liquid crystal molecule 410b in the second sub-pixel 240b does not receive driven and topples over, so light can't penetrate, and is dark attitude.Therefore, liquid crystal indicator 1000 is in normal demonstration mode, is positioned at liquid crystal indicator 1000 dead aheads or the people of side, can see liquid crystal indicator 1000 images displayed.It " dark attitude " described in this instructions is meant that light can't pass through the state of the liquid crystal molecule in this district, and " bright attitude " is meant that then light can pass through the state of the liquid crystal molecule in this district.
When selecting liquid crystal indicator 1000 to show, then when driving first sub-pixel 240a demonstration normal pictures, select the second sub-pixel 240b partly, like step S120 with narrow visual angle display mode.
In one embodiment, the method for selecting the second sub-pixel 240b partly is for calculating the mean flow rate of the first sub-pixel 240a adjacent with each second sub-pixel 240b.When mean flow rate is lower than default value, then select this second sub-pixel 240b, like step S122.This default value can be set at 1/10th of high-high brightness that the first sub-pixel 240a can show.When aforementioned mean flow rate is greater than or equal to this default value, then do not select this second sub-pixel 240b, like step S124.
Driving the selecteed second sub-pixel 240b afterwards is bright attitude, like step S130.Fig. 4 B applies driving voltage during adjustable liquid crystal indicator, to be positioned at the synoptic diagram of the lqiuid crystal molecule tipping of second sub-pixel in the visual angle of present embodiment.Please be simultaneously with reference to figure 2B, Fig. 3 B and Fig. 4 B.The method that to drive the selecteed second sub-pixel 240b be bright attitude is to apply driving voltage so that second active component 246 (showing like Fig. 2 A) conducting of the selecteed second sub-pixel 240b; Can be activated with second pixel electrode, 248 corresponding liquid crystal molecule 410b that second active component 246 is electrically connected and topple over towards E, F direction; Therefore liquid crystal indicator 1000 has the light leak of G, H direction, and the second sub-pixel 240b is bright attitude by G, the sight of H direction.In the present embodiment, the brightness that drives the selecteed second sub-pixel 240b and be bright attitude and can be this second sub-pixel 240b is increased to than mean flow rate for high, with effective interference picture.Wherein, the method that improves the brightness of this second sub-pixel 240b can be that the color filter film with corresponding this second sub-pixel 240b on the subtend substrate 300 removes.
Hold above-mentionedly, in the present embodiment, the selecteed second sub-pixel 240b can be the second whole sub-pixel 240b, also can be the second sub-pixel 240b partly.Fig. 6 A is that the normal images displayed of liquid crystal indicator, Fig. 6 B are the second whole sub-pixel when being all bright attitude, the image that the user sees, and Fig. 6 C is when being bright attitude for second sub-pixel partly, the image that the user sees.Can know that by Fig. 6 A and 6B if when all driving the second all sub-pixel 240b for bright attitude, the people of side-looking sees is a brighter image.Can be known that by Fig. 6 C selecting the second sub-pixel 240b partly is bright attitude, what the people of side-looking saw is image bright, dark skewness, can more effectively upset the display image that the people that watched by liquid crystal indicator 1000 sides can watch.In one embodiment; More can utilize the second lower sub-pixel 240b of mean flow rate of first sub-pixel 2100 around driving is bright attitude; And will around the second higher sub-pixel 240b of mean flow rate of the first sub-pixel 240a remain on dark attitude, can let the Luminance Distribution of the being seen picture of side-looking obviously different with the Luminance Distribution of facing being seen picture.Particularly; The being seen picture of side-looking can be drawn high brightness because of the second sub-pixel 240b is bright attitude in originally darker zone; And upset normal pictures that the first sub-pixel 240a shown effectively by the being seen effect in side-looking angle, to reach the purpose that prevents that other people from peeping.
Though be that bright attitude or dark attitude are explained all in the present embodiment with the second sub-pixel 240b; But those skilled in the art should know that after considering this instructions in light of actual conditions also can drive the second sub-pixel 240b shows various GTG values, but not simple bright attitude or dark attitude.Meaning promptly, the brightness that can drive the second sub-pixel 240b between high-high brightness and complete dark between.For example, when liquid crystal indicator 1000 is in narrow visual angle display mode, is driven to the brightness that the second sub-pixel 240b of bright attitude shown and is same as the high-high brightness that is shown among driven all first sub-pixel 240a.
