Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a liquid crystal display panel with switchable wide and narrow viewing angles.
Background
A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) has advantages of good picture quality, small size, light weight, low driving voltage, low power consumption, no radiation, and relatively low manufacturing cost, and is dominant in the field of flat panel displays.
Liquid crystal display devices are now gradually developed toward wide viewing angles, and wide viewing angles can be realized by using liquid crystal display devices of an in-plane switching mode (IPS) or a fringe field switching mode (FFS). The wide viewing angle design enables the user to see a complete and undistorted picture from all directions. However, in the current society, people pay more and more attention to protecting their privacy, and do not like to take out and share with people. In public places, the content is always expected to be kept secret when the user watches a mobile phone or browses a computer. Therefore, the display with single viewing angle mode has not been able to satisfy the user's requirement. Besides the requirement of wide viewing angle, in the situation that peep prevention is required, the display device also needs to be switched or adjusted to a narrow viewing angle mode to realize switchable display of wide and narrow viewing angles.
In the conventional viewing angle switching technology, a viewing angle switching electrode is usually disposed in a pixel structure, for example, the viewing angle switching electrode is disposed on an array substrate (TFT), and the structure can have a narrow viewing angle switching display function without affecting an aperture ratio in a wide viewing angle state, but the image quality and the contrast ratio are poor at a narrow viewing angle, and the side light leakage at the narrow viewing angle is different depending on the display picture, thereby affecting the narrow viewing angle display picture. Meanwhile, the pixel electrodes on the array substrate are strip-shaped, and the voltage difference between two adjacent pixel electrodes and the electrode on one side of the color film substrate is different, so that the phenomenon of uneven brightness of a display picture is caused.
And a visual angle control electrode on one side of the color film substrate (CF) applies a vertical electric field to the liquid crystal molecules to realize wide and narrow visual angle switching. When the wide visual angle is displayed, the visual angle control electrode does not supply voltage, and the liquid crystal display device realizes wide visual angle display. When the narrow visual angle is displayed, the visual angle control electrode supplies voltage, liquid crystal molecules tilt under the action of an electric field, the contrast of the liquid crystal display device is reduced due to light leakage, and the narrow visual angle display is finally realized. When displaying with a narrow viewing angle, the voltage applied to the viewing angle control electrode is generally an ac voltage, which causes a large load, and the coupling between the viewing angle control electrode and the pixel electrode causes image flicker and display non-uniformity (mura). In order to solve this problem, the conventional technique has been to increase the frame frequency of the liquid crystal display device to 120Hz to reduce the flicker of the screen, but this has caused a problem of excessive power consumption.

Referring to fig. 1 to fig. 3, the present embodiment provides a liquid crystal display panel 100, where the liquid crystal display panel 100 includes a first substrate 10 and a second substrate 20 disposed opposite to each other, and a liquid crystal layer 20 sandwiched between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20. The lcd panel 100 includes a plurality of pixel units P, each of the pixel units P includes a display region 101 and a viewing angle control region 102, and the viewing angle control region 102 has an area at least 1/4 times the area of the pixel unit P.
In this embodiment, the first substrate 10 is an array substrate, and the second substrate 20 is a color filter substrate.
The viewing angle control area 102 is provided with a viewing angle control electrode 25, and when no voltage is applied to the viewing angle control electrode 25 and no electric field is generated in the viewing angle control area 102, the liquid crystal display panel 100 displays a wide viewing angle. When the viewing angle control electrode 25 applies the viewing angle control voltage, a vertical electric field is generated in the viewing angle control region 102, and the liquid crystal display panel 100 displays a narrow viewing angle.
In this embodiment, the viewing angle control region 102 is horizontally disposed with the display region 101, the pixel unit P includes a first sub-pixel 21, a second sub-pixel 22, a third sub-pixel 23 and a fourth sub-pixel 24, wherein the first sub-pixel 21, the second sub-pixel 22 and the third sub-pixel 23 are disposed in the display region 101, and the fourth sub-pixel 24 is disposed in the viewing angle control region 102. Specifically, the first sub-pixel 21, the second sub-pixel 22, the third sub-pixel 23, and the fourth sub-pixel 24 are disposed on the second substrate 20 and spaced apart from each other by the black matrix 26. The first sub-pixel 21, the second sub-pixel 22, the third sub-pixel 23 and the fourth sub-pixel 24 are sequentially and horizontally arranged, and the fourth sub-pixel 24 is a white or transparent sub-pixel. The first sub-pixel 21, the second sub-pixel 22, the third sub-pixel 23 and the fourth sub-pixel 24 are all rectangular, and the areas of the four sub-pixels are the same.
Specifically, the first sub-pixel 21, the second sub-pixel 22, the third sub-pixel 23, and the fourth sub-pixel 24 are a red sub-pixel R, a green sub-pixel G, a blue sub-pixel B, and a white sub-pixel W, respectively, and the red sub-pixel R, the green sub-pixel G, the blue sub-pixel B, and the white sub-pixel W are arranged side by side to form a pixel unit P.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the display region 101 includes a first pixel electrode 11, a second pixel electrode 12, and a third pixel electrode 13 disposed on the first substrate 10, and the first substrate 10 further includes a plurality of data lines 111 and scan lines 112, wherein the first pixel electrode 11, the second pixel electrode 12, and the third pixel electrode 13 are all connected to the scan lines 112 and the data lines 111 adjacent to the pixel electrode through a first thin film transistor 113.
The first substrate 10 further includes a common electrode 15, the common electrode 15 is a full-area electrode and is located below the first pixel electrode 11, the second pixel electrode 12 and the third pixel electrode 13, and an insulating layer 16 is disposed between the common electrode 15 and each pixel electrode (11,12,13) to insulate the common electrode 15 and each pixel electrode (11,12, 13).
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the viewing angle control electrodes 25 are disposed on the second substrate 20 and located at a side of the fourth sub-pixel 24 facing the liquid crystal layer 20, the viewing angle control electrodes 25 are strip-shaped electrodes, and all the viewing angle control electrodes 25 are connected together to facilitate applying the viewing angle control voltage signal. The area of the first substrate 10 corresponding to the viewing angle control electrode 25 is a blank area 14, that is, the corresponding pixel electrode on the first substrate 10 in the viewing angle control area 102 is removed to form the blank area 14, and the design of the blank area 14 can increase the light leakage area of the oblique side of the lcd panel 100 at the narrow viewing angle, so as to enhance the narrow viewing angle effect.
In this embodiment, the liquid crystal display panel 100 can realize two modes of wide viewing angle and narrow viewing angle display.
In this embodiment, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 20 are positive liquid crystal molecules. In an initial state (i.e., a state where no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal display panel 100), the positive liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 20 are in a lying posture, and the long axis direction of the positive liquid crystal molecules is substantially parallel to the surfaces of the upper and lower substrates.
As shown in fig. 2, in the wide viewing angle mode, gray scale voltages are applied to the pixel electrodes (11,12,13) in the display area 101, and a fringe field is formed between the gray scale voltages and the common electrode 15, so that liquid crystal molecules in the display area 101 are subjected to the fringe field, no voltage is applied to the viewing angle control electrode 25 in the viewing angle control area 102, that is, no electric field is generated between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 in the viewing angle control area 102, and the liquid crystal molecules are not subjected to the field and are in a flat state, so that they are opaque, called a dark state, and thus, wide viewing angle display is achieved in the display area 101.
Fig. 4A is a diagram illustrating a simulation effect of transmittance of a conventional liquid crystal display panel in a wide viewing angle display. Fig. 4B is a diagram illustrating a simulation effect of transmittance of the lcd panel according to the first embodiment of the invention when displaying in a wide viewing angle. As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, the transmittance of the liquid crystal display panel in the prior art in the wide viewing angle display is 3.82%, and the transmittance of the liquid crystal display panel 100 in the embodiment in the wide viewing angle display reaches 3.34%, i.e., the transmittance of the liquid crystal display panel 100 in the embodiment in the wide viewing angle display is reduced by 13% compared to the 3.82% in the prior art, and this difference can be reduced by optimally balancing the display area 101 and the viewing angle control area 102 through the pixel design. For example, each pixel of the display region 101 and the viewing angle control region 102 may each occupy one fourth of the entire pixel unit P, and since the viewing angle control region 102 does not need to be controlled by the thin film transistor, the design may be different from the other three sub-pixels, the range of the black matrix of the viewing angle control region 102 may be reduced, and the extra area may be allocated to the other three sub-pixels to compensate for the difference in transmittance in the wide viewing angle mode from the liquid crystal display panel of the related art.
As shown in fig. 3, in the narrow viewing angle mode, the display region 101 still generates a fringe field, the liquid crystal molecules in the display region 101 are subjected to the fringe field, the viewing angle control electrode 25 of the viewing angle control region 102 applies a viewing angle control voltage, such as an ac voltage of 2-4V, the common voltage applied to the common electrode 15 on the first substrate 10 is 0V, a vertical electric field (e.g., arrow direction) is generated between the viewing angle control electrode 25 and the common electrode 15, and the liquid crystal molecules in the viewing angle control region 102 are deflected to a vertical state by the vertical electric field, so that the liquid crystal molecules are in a vertical state and are opaque at a normal viewing angle, and when the screen of the liquid crystal display panel 100 is viewed from the side, the liquid crystal molecules are in an oblique state to generate lateral light leakage, thereby realizing narrow viewing angle display.
In this embodiment, the blank region 14 is formed by removing the pixel electrode on the first substrate 10 at the position corresponding to the viewing angle control region 102, so as to increase the light leakage area of the oblique side of the narrow viewing angle and enhance the narrow viewing angle effect. In the viewing angle control region 102, since no electric field exists between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 during wide viewing angle display, the liquid crystal molecules remain in the initial state, and the liquid crystal display panel 100 displays black. When the narrow viewing angle display is carried out, a vertical electric field exists between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, no electric field exists in the horizontal direction, liquid crystal molecules are only under the action of the vertical electric field, light leakage at the front viewing angle is reduced, and the peep-proof angle at the narrow viewing angle can be effectively improved.
Fig. 5A is a diagram illustrating a simulation effect of transmittance of a conventional liquid crystal display panel in a narrow viewing angle display. Fig. 5B is a diagram illustrating a simulation effect of transmittance of the lcd panel according to the first embodiment of the invention when displaying at a narrow viewing angle. Referring to fig. 5A and 5B, the transmittance of the conventional lcd panel in the narrow viewing angle mode is 2.3%, and the transmittance of the lcd panel 100 of the embodiment in the narrow viewing angle mode reaches 3.34%, which is improved by 45% compared to 2.3% in the prior art. As can be seen from fig. 5A, the dark state light leakage of the prior art is much larger than that of the present embodiment, and the problem of uneven brightness also exists, resulting in low overall contrast. In the liquid crystal display panel 100 of the embodiment, the viewing angle control area 102 has only a vertical electric field in the narrow viewing angle mode, and there is no electric field in the horizontal direction, so that the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules in the horizontal direction is not affected, the light leakage is very small, and the contrast is greatly improved while the peep-proof angle of the narrow viewing angle is effectively improved.
In the embodiment, when the wide viewing angle mode is switched to the narrow viewing angle mode, the image is displayed with a lower operating voltage, for example, the operating voltage at the wide viewing angle is 0-3.6V, and the operating voltage at the narrow viewing angle mode is reduced to 0-2.8V (Tr =2.9%, CR > 300) or 0-2.5V (Tr =2.49%, CR > 250), so that the transmittance is still higher than the conventional operating voltage of 0-3.6V (Tr =2.3%, CR-150), and the contrast is higher than that of the conventional art.
As shown in fig. 4B and fig. 5B, in the embodiment, in the wide view angle mode, the operating voltage is 3.6V, and the transmittance is 3.34%, and in the narrow view angle mode, the operating voltage is 3.6V, and the transmittance is 3.34%.
The liquid crystal display panel 100 of the embodiment can also be driven at 60Hz without the problems of flicker and mura, thereby reducing the production cost of the liquid crystal display panel 100 and avoiding the problem of displaying large-angle gray scale inversion at a narrow viewing angle.
The present embodiment further provides a display device, which includes the liquid crystal display panel 100 described above.
[ second embodiment ]
Referring to fig. 6 to fig. 7B, the main difference between the liquid crystal display panel 100 of the present embodiment and the first embodiment is: in this embodiment, the viewing angle control area 102 includes a first electrode 142 and a second electrode 27 disposed at an interval, wherein one of the first electrode 142 and the second electrode 27 is a viewing angle control electrode, the first electrode 142 is disposed on the first substrate 10, the second electrode 27 is disposed on the second substrate 20, the first electrode 142 and the second electrode 27 are disposed up and down correspondingly, and both the first electrode 142 and the second electrode 27 are strip electrodes.
In the wide viewing angle mode, as shown in fig. 7A, no voltage is applied to the first electrode 142 and the second electrode 27, that is, no electric field is generated in the viewing angle control region 102, the liquid crystal molecules are kept in a flat lying state, each pixel electrode (11,12,13) in the display region 101 is normally applied with a voltage, and a fringe electric field is generated between the pixel electrode and the common electrode 15, so that the wide viewing angle display is realized in the display region 101.
In the narrow viewing angle mode, as shown in fig. 7B, a viewing angle control voltage, such as an ac voltage of 2-4V, is applied to one of the first electrode 142 and the second electrode 27, and a reference voltage of 0V is applied to the other of the first electrode 142 and the second electrode 27, so that a vertical electric field is generated between the first electrode 142 and the second electrode 27, liquid crystal molecules are vertically arranged under the action of the vertical electric field, lateral light leakage is generated in the viewing angle control region 102, the display region 101 still normally displays a picture, and narrow viewing angle display is achieved.
