Fig. 2 shows the pixel region structural representation in one embodiment of liquid crystal indicator of the present invention.In conjunction with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2; 101 upper edge first direction X are provided with some grid metal lines 201 (being sweep trace 120) at first substrate; The edge second direction Y vertical with first direction X is provided with some source pole metal lines 202 (being data line 140), is provided with active area 203 and drain region 204 in grid metal lines 201 and the zone that source pole metal lines 202 intersects.The grid that is extended by grid metal lines 201 as the thin film transistor (TFT) 107 of pixel switch element, the source electrode that is extended by source pole metal lines 202 and the drain electrode that is electrically connected on pixel electrode 108 constitute.
In addition; Between the pixel electrode 108 and first common electrode 103, also be provided with gate insulator (not shown); On gate insulator, offer via hole 205; Can the data-signal that transmit via source pole metal lines 202 on the drain region 204 be offered pixel electrode 108 when being used for the sweep signal conducting membrane transistor 107 on grid metal lines 201; Owing to want much little by the caused leaping voltage relative data of stray capacitance signal in the thin film transistor (TFT) 107, so here, said data-signal promptly can be used as the pixel electrode voltage signal that is electrically connected on the pixel electrode 108 of drain electrode in the thin film transistor (TFT) 107.
First common electrode 103 is arranged to structure as shown in Figure 3, and its line along first direction X makes in the display panels first common electrode 103 with each pixel region 106 of delegation communicate with each other.Especially, be under the situation of transmission-type at display panel 10, also offer a plurality of through holes 206 that are used for printing opacity at the zone line of first common electrode 103, be used to supply pixel electrode 108 to receive light sources through through hole 206.Certainly, be under the situation of reflection-type at display panel 10, on first common electrode 103, offer the technology of through hole 206 and just can omit.
Pixel electrode 108 is provided with slit 208, is used for pixel electrode 108 is divided into the sub-piece 207 of a plurality of pixel electrodes, and is as shown in Figure 4, realizes electrically connecting through connecting portion 209 between the sub-piece of the pixel electrode of said division 207 is adjacent.Owing to pixel electrode 108 is to be located on first common electrode 103 across said gate insulator; Therefore the sub-piece 207 of a plurality of pixel electrodes of pixel electrode 108 is a plurality of through holes 206 that are right against first common electrode 103 respectively basically, makes pixel electrode 108 to receive the for example light source irradiation of module backlight through through hole 206.In addition; Slit 208 places of respective pixel electrode 108 can also be provided with divider (not shown) on first common electrode 103; So not only can play the effect of pixel electrode 108 location, can also make the edge of the common electrode 103 of winning protrude in the edge of pixel electrode 108.
In the above-described embodiments, pixel electrode 108 be shaped as rectangle (like Fig. 2 and shown in Figure 4), but not as limit, in other embodiments, the shape of said pixel electrode can also have other variant, for example is circular (as shown in Figure 5) or bar shaped etc.
In order to make liquid crystal molecule implementation rule farmland arrange, first common electrode 103 has the lateral margin on the border that protrudes in pixel electrode 108.In conjunction with Fig. 3 and Fig. 4; In the present embodiment; The boundary dimensions of first common electrode 103 is greater than the boundary dimensions of pixel electrode 108; That is: be located at 103 last times of first common electrode when pixel electrode 108, the edge of first common electrode 103 all protrudes in the border (consulting Fig. 2) of pixel electrode 108.
What need explanation is that in the present embodiment, the boundary dimensions of first common electrode 103 is greater than the boundary dimensions of pixel electrode 108.But not as limit; In other embodiments; As long as can guarantee the implementation rule farmland arranges; The boundary dimensions that said first common electrode is relevant with pixel electrode still can be done other change; For example said first common electrode can make said first common electrode outstanding lateral margin on first direction X or second direction Y when applying drive signal, form and impel liquid crystal molecule to produce the lateral electric fields of deflection as long as on said first direction X or second direction Y, have two opposite side edges (shown in Fig. 6 a, 6b) on the border that protrudes in said pixel electrode, can realize equally arranging in the regular farmland of liquid crystal molecule.
Please continue to consult Fig. 7, it is the schematic cross-section of A--A ' the direction line of cut position of Fig. 2.As shown in Figure 7, on first substrate (not shown), be provided with first common electrode 103 (also can be called storage capacitor electrode), on first common electrode 103, be provided with gate insulator 300 and pixel electrode 108 in regular turn.A side that is last relative first substrate of second substrate (not shown) that is oppositely arranged with first substrate is formed with second common electrode 104.Between the pixel electrode 108 and second common electrode 104, set the liquid crystal layer 105 that includes liquid crystal molecule 301.Especially, in the above-described embodiments, the boundary dimensions of first common electrode 103 is the boundary dimensionss that are greater than pixel electrode 108, that is to say, the edge of first common electrode 103 will protrude in the border of pixel electrode 108.In addition, pixel electrode 108 can be by indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium-zinc oxide (IZO) made; Equally, first, second common electrode 103,104 also can be by indium tin oxide (ITO) or indium-zinc oxide (IZO) made.
Generally; The current potential of first common electrode 103 keeps ground connection; Perhaps be consistent with the current potential of second common electrode 104 all the time; Make the potential difference (PD) between the pixel electrode 108 and second common electrode 104 keep stable, be beneficial to and keep the even of electric field that the liquid crystal molecule 301 in the middle of avoiding scintillation occurs because of irregular deflection takes place.
In addition, as shown in Figure 8, if a drive signal is provided, then between first common electrode 103 and pixel electrode 108, can form electric field on first common electrode 103.Said drive signal can be greater than a voltage pulse signal (for example being 15V) that puts on the pixel electrode voltage signal (for example being 5V) on the said pixel electrode.Because the boundary dimensions of first common electrode 103 is greater than the boundary dimensions of pixel electrode 108; Promptly; The edge of first common electrode 103 protrudes in the edge of pixel electrode 108; Like this, first common electrode, 103 relative pixel electrode 108 outstanding parts will form lateral electric fields 302 under the situation that drive signal applies.Under the effect of lateral electric fields 302, the liquid crystal molecule 301 (negative dielectric anisotropic) that is adjacent to the pixel region edge of lateral electric fields 302 will complied with direction (pointing to pixel electrode 108 by the first common electrode 103) deflection perpendicular to electric field line.Further; Under the continuous action of lateral electric fields 302; The inner liquid crystal molecule 301 of pixel region also can be done the deflection of pre-dumping direction under the drive of liquid crystal molecule 301 on the edge of, thereby makes all liquid crystal molecules in the pixel region under the situation that has applied drive signal, can both confirm the pre-dumping direction, the formation rule farmland; Improve response speed, can realize the wide viewing angle that image shows.And remove back (transferring low-voltage to, for example ground connection) in the drive signal that puts on first common electrode 103, because the liquid crystal molecule 301 of this moment has been confirmed the pre-dumping direction, therefore still can keep regular farmland state within a certain period of time.Relatively in the MVA pattern, to make the projection of definite shape on the indium-tin oxide electrode surface or in the PVA pattern, will on indium-tin oxide electrode, draw and carve slit and obtain liquid crystal molecule and keep the prior art of pre-dumping direction to compare, technology of the present invention simply and liquid crystal molecule pre-dumping effect rather good.
In addition, be prone to know, be employed in first common electrode 103 and apply drive signal and make liquid crystal molecule that the deflection and the formation rule farmland of pre-dumping direction arranged under the effect of lateral electric fields 302.The deflection meeting of this pre-dumping direction under lateral electric fields produces the trend of degenerating, and promptly keeps can returning back to initial plumbness again after the pre-dumping direction of certain hour.For preventing the above-mentioned degeneration that possibly occur, will in the gap of certain hour that is separated by, on first common electrode 103, apply drive signal once more, to guarantee the deflection of the liquid crystal molecule maintenance pre-dumping direction in the pixel region.Therefore, in other embodiments, the number of times that applies drive signal can also be more than or equal to secondary repeatedly according to actual conditions.
See also Fig. 9, it has shown the sequential chart on driving method formation rule farmland in first embodiment of liquid crystal indicator of the present invention.As shown in Figure 9, in the duration T of a two field picture, include drive pattern and display mode, wherein, input drive signal under said drive pattern is to realize the regular farmland of liquid crystal molecule; And under said display mode, import shows signal, show to realize image.Existing hypothesis: in the duration T of a two field picture, the shared time of drive pattern is called regular farmland and forms the period 401, and the shared time of display mode is called image display time interval 402.In first embodiment, specifically, suppose that second common electrode 104 for the DC voltage less than 5V, for example is 0V.Form the period on regular farmland; On first common electrode 103, apply the drive signal of doing the deflection of pre-dumping direction in order to drives liquid crystal molecules 301; Said drive signal (for example being 15V) is wanted relatively greater than the pixel electrode voltage signal (for example being 5V) that puts on the pixel electrode 108; In regular farmland forms the period 401, to make the common electrode 103 relative pixel electrodes 108 of winning is noble potential, guarantees the formation of the two lateral electric fields 302.And; The pulsewidth of said voltage pulse signal also is greater than the pulsewidth of the sweep signal that on grid metal lines 201, applies; So that lateral electric fields 302 certain time that form, guarantee that the liquid crystal molecule 301 in the pixel region all does the deflection and the formation rule farmland of pre-dumping direction.Preferably, it is the leading portions that are in the duration T of a two field picture that regular farmland forms the period 401, and promptly said voltage pulse signal is the start time point place that appears at each two field picture.And, on grid metal lines 201, apply the sweep signal that is used for conducting membrane transistor 107 at image display time interval 403, make pixel electrode 108 can obtain to be used for the drive signal of display image.Therefore, in first embodiment, in each two field picture, applied the drive signal that once can make liquid crystal molecule formation rule farmland at first common electrode 103.Like this, as being the cycle to carry out periodicity repeatedly with each frame among Fig. 9, said liquid crystal indicator just obtains good the demonstration.
In the present invention, second common electrode 104 remains ground connection (also promptly being in 0 current potential), so in practical application, first common electrode 103 can link to each other through an on-off circuit with second common electrode 104.Concrete operations are: form the period 401 (under the drive pattern) on regular farmland, break off said on-off circuit, first common electrode 103 is applied drive signal, produce voltage pulse signal; And at image display time interval 403 (under the display mode), ground connection after the said on-off circuit of conducting, first common electrode 103 link to each other with second common electrode 104.But not as limit; In other embodiments; First common electrode 103 and second common electrode 104 still can be done other changes, and for example first common electrode 103 and second common electrode 104 are separate, and second common electrode 104 is ground connection all the time; 103 of first common electrodes by signal control circuit control under drive pattern, producing drive signal, and under display mode first common electrode, 103 generations, 0 electric potential signal consistent with second common electrode 104.
See also like Figure 10, its driving method that has shown liquid crystal indicator of the present invention is the sequential chart on formation rule farmland in a second embodiment.Shown in figure 10, comprise also that in the duration T of a two field picture regular farmland forms period 403 (under the drive pattern) and image display time interval 404 (under the display mode).But compare with first embodiment, in a second embodiment, under drive pattern, have two regular farmlands and form the period 403, promptly in the duration T of a two field picture, first common electrode 103 has been applied the secondary drive signal altogether.Preferably, applying the first time of said drive signal is the start time point place that appears at a two field picture, applies the interlude point that then appears at a two field picture for the second time, like this, can increase the formation time of lateral electric fields relatively.
Compare with first embodiment, be applied in secondary before and after in a second embodiment the drive signal, increased the formation time of lateral electric fields relatively, can avoid liquid crystal molecule in a two field picture time interior pixel district to produce and degenerate in the deflection of pre-dumping direction.
In addition; In a second embodiment, first, second time drive signal apply start time point and the interlude point that appears at a two field picture respectively, but not as limit; In other embodiments; Said secondary drive signal apply the change that still can do other, promptly drive signal can apply on other times point, for example for the first time drive signal apply 1/4th time point places that appear at a two field picture duration; For the second time drive signal apply 3/4ths time point places that appear at a two field picture duration, should have same effect.
It should be noted that; Because said regular farmland forms the period and said image display time interval is nonoverlapping in time; Under certain situation of the duration of a two field picture; Increase the shared time (the regular farmland formation shared time of period is directly proportional with the number of times that applies drive signal) of regular farmland formation period under the drive pattern, certainly will cause the corresponding minimizing of display mode hypograph display time interval, in the not very large amorphous silicon device of charging current; The undue shortening in duration of charging can cause a lot of problems, for example picture crosstalk in the image display time interval.Therefore, in this, the number of times that applies drive signal can be definite according to remaking behind the actual conditions comprehensive consideration in practical application.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment, the present invention is defined in this.Any those skilled in the art are not breaking away from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all can do various changes and modification, so protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with claim institute restricted portion.
