Description

液晶显示面板 LCD panel

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种液晶显示面板,且特别是有关于一种可改善暗线现象的液晶显示面板。The invention relates to a liquid crystal display panel, and in particular to a liquid crystal display panel capable of improving dark line phenomenon.

背景技术Background technique

随着显示科技的蓬勃发展,消费大众对于显示器显像品质的要求越来越高。消费大众除了对显示器的解析度(resolution)、对比(contrast ratio)、视角(viewing angle)、灰阶反转(grey level inversion)、色饱和度(color saturation)的规格有所要求外,对显示器的反应时间(response time)的规格要求亦日渐提高。With the vigorous development of display technology, consumers have higher and higher requirements for display image quality. In addition to the requirements for the resolution, contrast ratio, viewing angle, gray level inversion, and color saturation of the display, the consumers also have high requirements for the display. The specification requirements of the response time (response time) are also increasing day by day.

为了满足消费大众的需求,显示器相关业者纷纷投入具有快速应答特性的蓝相(blue phase)液晶显示器的开发。以正型蓝相(blue phase)液晶为例,其需要一横向电场来进行操作以使其具有光阀的功能。目前已经有人采用共面转换IPS(In-Plane Switching)显示面板的电极设计来驱动蓝相(blue phase)液晶显示器中的正型蓝相液晶分子。In order to meet the needs of consumers, display related companies have invested in the development of blue phase liquid crystal displays with fast response characteristics. Taking the positive blue phase liquid crystal as an example, it requires a transverse electric field to operate so that it can function as a light valve. At present, some people have used the electrode design of the in-plane switching IPS (In-Plane Switching) display panel to drive the positive blue phase liquid crystal molecules in the blue phase (blue phase) liquid crystal display.

然而,在传统共面转换显示面板的电极设计中,其电极上方有许多区域不具有横向电场,而使得蓝相(blue phase)液晶显示器中有许多液晶分子无法被顺利驱动,进而导致暗线现象的产生。承上述,如何改善蓝相(blue phase)液晶显示器中暗线的现象,实为研发者所欲解决的问题之一。However, in the electrode design of the traditional coplanar switching display panel, there are many areas above the electrode without a transverse electric field, so that many liquid crystal molecules in the blue phase liquid crystal display cannot be driven smoothly, which leads to the dark line phenomenon. produce. Based on the above, how to improve the phenomenon of dark lines in blue phase LCDs is actually one of the problems that developers want to solve.

发明内容Contents of the invention

本发明提供一种液晶显示面板,其可改善公知液晶显示面板中的暗线现象。The invention provides a liquid crystal display panel, which can improve the dark line phenomenon in the known liquid crystal display panel.

本发明提出一种液晶显示面板,其包括基板、设置在基板上的多个像素结构、位于基板对向侧的对向基板以及位于基板与对向基板之间的液晶层。每一像素结构包括扫描线、数据线、主动元件、像素电极以及共用电极。主动元件与扫描线以及数据线电性连接。像素电极与主动元件电性连接。共用电极与像素电极电性绝缘且彼此交替设置。像素电极与共用电极分别是由下电极以及位于下电极上的上电极所构成,且上电极的宽度(W1)小于下电极的宽度(W2)。液晶层包括液晶分子,其中液晶分子在电场中具有光学异向性且在无电场条件下为光学等向性。The present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel, which includes a substrate, a plurality of pixel structures arranged on the substrate, an opposite substrate on the opposite side of the substrate, and a liquid crystal layer between the substrate and the opposite substrate. Each pixel structure includes scan lines, data lines, active elements, pixel electrodes and common electrodes. The active element is electrically connected with the scan line and the data line. The pixel electrode is electrically connected with the active device. The common electrodes are electrically insulated from the pixel electrodes and arranged alternately with each other. The pixel electrode and the common electrode are respectively composed of a lower electrode and an upper electrode located on the lower electrode, and the width ( W1 ) of the upper electrode is smaller than the width ( W2 ) of the lower electrode. The liquid crystal layer includes liquid crystal molecules, wherein the liquid crystal molecules have optical anisotropy in an electric field and are optically isotropic under the condition of no electric field.

基于上述,在本发明的液晶显示面板中,通过像素电极以及共用电极的特殊设计,使得液晶显示面板中无横向电场的区域比例降低。如此一来,位于液晶显示面板中的液晶分子未被驱动的机率则可降低,进而改善了公知液晶面板中暗线的现象。Based on the above, in the liquid crystal display panel of the present invention, through the special design of the pixel electrode and the common electrode, the proportion of the area without a transverse electric field in the liquid crystal display panel is reduced. In this way, the probability that the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal display panel are not driven can be reduced, thereby improving the phenomenon of dark lines in the conventional liquid crystal display panel.

For example, the distance W between the pattern of the pixel electrode 122 and the pattern of the adjacent strip-shaped common electrode 124 is, for example, 3 micrometers, as shown in FIGS. 3A , 3B, 3C and 3D. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 4 , there is a first lateral electric field E1 between the side surface S1 of the lower electrode 122 b of the pixel electrode 122 and the side surface S2 of the lower electrode 124 b of the adjacent common electrode 124 . There is a second lateral electric field E2 between the upper surface S3 of the lower electrode 122 b of the pixel electrode 122 and the upper surface S4 of the lower electrode 124 b of the adjacent common electrode 124 .

In other words, the liquid crystal display panel 100 of an embodiment of the present invention can be driven with a lower driving voltage. That is to say, the liquid crystal display panel 100 of an embodiment of the present invention can save power compared with the known liquid crystal display panel.

综上所述,在本发明的液晶显示面板中,可利用分别由其上下电极所组成的像素电极与共用电极,使得像素电极、共用电极正上方以及像素电极与共用电极之间无横向电场的区域比例降低。如此一来,位于像素电极、共用电极正上方以及像素电极与共用电极之间的液晶分子则有较高的机率会被驱动,进而改善了公知液晶面板中暗线的现象。To sum up, in the liquid crystal display panel of the present invention, the pixel electrode and the common electrode respectively composed of the upper and lower electrodes can be used, so that there is no lateral electric field directly above the pixel electrode, the common electrode, and between the pixel electrode and the common electrode.
