Description

A kind of reflecting type liquid crystal display panel
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of reflecting type liquid crystal display panel, relate in particular to a kind of reflecting type liquid crystal display panel that is applicable in the liquid crystal indicator.
Background technology
General liquid crystal indicator is to adopt the transmissive liquid crystal display screen, just below the transmissive liquid crystal display screen, be provided with module backlight, module backlight is lighted the light source of back as liquid crystal indicator, and the transmissive liquid crystal display screen has then been played the part of the role of light source switch.This module backlight can adopt light emitting diode (LED), cold cathode ray tube (CCFL), EL cold light film etc., and the light that generally transmits is white light, and we just can see the content on the liquid crystal display like this.Because light arrives human eye through liquid crystal board, therefore this LCDs just is called " transmission-type liquid crystal display ".
The advantage of transmission display panel is to make the user can see the even brightness screen under dim situation, but entire aphototropism mould must all keep Chang Liang always when work, otherwise screen is just seen can be pitch-dark, therefore also must open backlight in broad day, this electric quantity consumption for palm PC is undoubtedly huge, and be kind of a waste, therefore in newer palm PC, all abandon adopting this LCDs, the substitute is reflection type lcd panel.
Reflective display screen is loaded onto reflectorized material below liquid crystal board, replace the luminescent material of transmission display panel, utilizes ambient light as light source, and it utilizes the light through direct reflection to illuminate screen.The reflective liquid-crystal display of existing diffusion modulation type, at not alive state,, present the arrangement of property out of order because of liquid crystal is subjected to irregular polymkeric substance side chain influence, incident ray can be reflected by the minute surface of liquid crystal layer below, and then presents uniform bright attitude disperse state.When impressed voltage was non-vanishing, liquid crystal was subjected to electric field effects and marshalling, when using metal material to be used as the reflection horizon as if infrabasal plate, when avoiding the angle of direct reflection, then can be used as dark attitude and used in the design.
Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram that illustrates present reflective display screen, and the diagrammatic cross-section that circle 102 is indicated among Fig. 1 is illustrated in Fig. 2.As shown in Figure 2, on substrate 104, has thin film diode (not illustrating), insulation course 106 is positioned on the substrate 104, insulation course 106 has a source/drain electrode 108 that opening exposes thin film diode, and the metallic reflector 110 of pattern picture and transparency electrode 112 are positioned on the insulation course 106 and electric connection source/drain electrode 108.As shown in Figure 1, the metallic reflector 110 of pattern picture and transparency electrode 112 have constituted pixel electrode 103.The metallic reflector of the reflective liquid-crystal display of existing diffusion modulation type also can be used as pixel electrode simultaneously and use, and then can drive liquid crystal molecule with the voltage difference of upper substrate electrode, controls the bright dark degree of this picture element.Because if adjacent picture element is when needing the function of independent displaying, the electrode of adjacent picture element must do independent zones every, metallic reflector 110 must be done the design of picture element formula, therefore, the metallic reflector 110 of this patterned structure has considerable edge, the degree that this can increase scattered reflection causes the reflectivity of dark attitude too high (being about 10%), and makes the contrast of reflective display screen descend.
Summary of the invention
For solving the problem of reflecting type liquid crystal display panel because of the reflected light scattered reflection due to the edge of metallic reflector, purpose of the present invention just provides a kind of reflecting type liquid crystal display panel structure, the degree of scattered reflection of specular layer that wherein is positioned at liquid crystal layer below is very low, and makes the contrast of reflecting type liquid crystal display panel significantly rise.
According to one embodiment of the invention, a kind of reflecting type liquid crystal display panel is proposed, it is characterized in that described reflecting type liquid crystal display panel comprises at least: first substrate; A plurality of thin film diodes are positioned on described first substrate; Insulation course covers on described first substrate, and described insulation course has opening to expose a source/drain electrode of each described a plurality of thin film diode; Specular layer covers on described first substrate and is the coating of being insulated of described insulation course; A plurality of pattern picture transparency conducting layers are positioned on the described insulation course, and each described a plurality of pattern picture transparency conducting layer is electrically insulated to each other and is electrically connected to described source/drain electrode that a described opening is exposed respectively; Second substrate; Transparent electrode layer is on the one side of described second substrate and be arranged between described first substrate and described second substrate; And liquid crystal layer, between described reflection electrode layer and described transparent electrode layer.
In preferred embodiment of the present invention, first substrate and described second substrate are glass substrate.Insulation course comprises first insulation course and second insulation course.The material that first insulation course and second insulation course are adopted is an identical materials, for example monox, silicon oxynitride or silicon nitride.First insulation course also can adopt different materials with second insulation course.In addition, first insulation course and second insulation course can be single layer structure or sandwich construction.
In preferred embodiment of the present invention, the material of specular layer is a metal.The material of drawing transparency conducting layer is indium oxide, tin oxide or tin indium oxide.The transparent electrode layer that is positioned on second substrate then is to be common electrode.
The disclosed reflecting type liquid crystal display panel according to the present invention, with the pattern picture formula metallic reflector in the reflecting type liquid crystal display panel before, the minute surface that makes holohedral form into is penetrated layer (Mirror like reflector), therefore, behind the edge that reduces pattern picture formula metallic reflector, make the specular layer of entire emission formula display panels reach the effect (being about 2%) of as minute surface, hanging down scattered reflection, the specular layer of whole formula is coated by insulation course, not and the source/drain electrode electrically connects, so do not have a pixel electrode function.Therefore except the existing insulation course in below, a layer insulating need be added in the top, and pixel electrode then changes and utilizes the transparency electrode of pattern picture to reach.Utilization the invention has the advantages that the degree of the scattered reflection that can reduce the specular layer that is positioned at the liquid crystal layer below, and makes the contrast of reflecting type liquid crystal display panel significantly rise.
Description of drawings
For above and other objects of the present invention, feature, advantage and embodiment can be become apparent, being described in detail as follows of appended accompanying drawing:
