The first electrode layer 300 is disposed on the first substrate 100, and the first alignment layer 400 is disposed on the first electrode layer 300. The display layer 600 is disposed between the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 500.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 2A, the red pixel area 200R, the green pixel area 200G and the blue pixel area 200B in the display area 110 are repeatedly arranged in sequence, one red pixel area 200R, one green pixel area 200G and one blue pixel area 200B constitute one pixel, and a plurality of pixels in the display area 110 are arranged in a matrix. In the display region 110 (non-edge region), a red pixel region 200R is adjacent to a green pixel region 200G and a blue pixel region 200B, a green pixel region 200G is adjacent to a red pixel region 200R and a blue pixel region 200B, and a blue pixel region 200B is adjacent to a green pixel region 200G and a red pixel region 200R.
According to an embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in fig. 2A, an interface 100A is provided between the display region 110 and the peripheral region 120, the first alignment layer 400 corresponding to (above or below) the first pixel region from the interface 100A to the display region 110 has a first thickness T1, the first alignment layer 400 corresponding to (above or below) the fourth first pixel region from the interface 100A to the display region 110 further has a second thickness T2, the units of the first thickness T1 and the second thickness T2 are micrometers (μm), and the values of the first thickness T1 and the second thickness T2 satisfy the following conditions: 0.8 ≦ T1/T2 ≦ 1.2. For example, in the embodiment, as shown in fig. 2A, the first alignment layer 400 corresponding to (above or below) the first green pixel region 200G (200G1) in the plurality of green pixel regions 200G from the boundary 100A between the display region 110 and the peripheral region 120 toward the display region 110 has a first thickness T1, the first alignment layer 400 corresponding to (above or below) the fourth green pixel region 200G (200G4) in the plurality of green pixel regions 200G from the boundary 100A between the display region 110 and the peripheral region 120 toward the display region 110 further has a second thickness T2, the unit of the first thickness T1 and the second thickness T2 is micrometers (μm), and the values of the first thickness T1 and the second thickness T2 satisfy the following conditions: 0.8 ≦ T1/T2 ≦ 1.2. In other words, the difference in the thickness of the first alignment layer 400 between the first green pixel region 200G1 and the fourth green pixel region 200G4 from the boundary 100A to the display region 110 is less than 20%. In some embodiments, the distance between the boundary 100A and the green pixel region 200G1 of the first pixel is, for example, about 50 micrometers (μm), and the distance between the boundary 100A and the green pixel region 200G4 of the fourth pixel is, for example, about 1000 micrometers (μm). In other embodiments, the difference between the thicknesses of the first alignment layer 400 corresponding to the first other color pixel region and the fourth other color pixel region from the boundary 100A to the display region 110 is also less than 20%.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the difference between the thicknesses of the first alignment layer 400 corresponding to the first pixel region (e.g., the green pixel region 200G1) and the fourth pixel region (e.g., the green pixel region 200G4) from the boundary 100A to the display region 110 is less than 20%, which indicates that the thickness of the first alignment layer 400 has good uniformity, so that the generation of mura can be reduced, and the display quality of the display device can be improved.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1A to 1D, the display layer 600 is, for example, a liquid crystal layer, and the first electrode layer 300 is, for example, a transparent conductive layer, for example, made of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) or other metal oxide conductor. In some embodiments, the first electrode layer 300 is, for example, a common electrode.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1A to 1D, the display device further includes a sealant 700 and a plurality of spacers 800. The sealant 700 is disposed on the peripheral region 120 of the first substrate 100 and surrounds the display region 110 of the first substrate 100, and the spacer 800 is disposed between the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 500.
In some embodiments, the height H of the spacers 800 is, for example, greater than or equal to 2 micrometers (μm) and less than or equal to 5 micrometers (μm).
In some embodiments, a spacing between the spacers 800 in the peripheral region 120 is, for example, greater than or equal to 25 micrometers (μm) and less than or equal to 500 micrometers (μm).
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2A, the spacer 800 has a first width P along an extending direction of the boundary 100A between the display area 110 and the peripheral area 120, the spacer 800 has a second width Q along an extending direction perpendicular to the boundary 100A, the unit of the first width P and the second width Q is micrometers (μm), and the values of the first width P and the second width Q of the spacer 800 in the peripheral area 120 may satisfy the following condition: 0.1 ≦ Q/P ≦ 100.
In the embodiment, the first alignment layer 400 is fabricated by coating the first substrate 100 with the alignment layer liquid material and then baking the first alignment layer 400, and the three-dimensional structure (e.g., spacer) on the first substrate 100 may cause the coating liquid to be retained on the surface of the three-dimensional structure and generate a surface tension phenomenon, which may result in uneven thickness expansion of the coating liquid film. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first width P and the second width Q of the spacer 800 satisfy the condition of 0.1 ≦ Q/P ≦ 100 and the pitch of the spacer 800 satisfies greater than or equal to 25 micrometers (μm) and less than or equal to 500 micrometers (μm), the ratio of the two widths representing the shape of the spacer 800 is limited to the above range, and thus the surface tension can be reduced and the phenomenon of uneven thickness spread of the three-dimensional structure of the spacer 800 with respect to the coating liquid can be improved, so that the thickness uniformity of the manufactured first alignment layer 400 can be improved, and the display quality can be further improved. The shape of the spacer 800 shown in fig. 2A is a plan view of the spacer 800 as viewed from a plane perpendicular to the substrate.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1A and fig. 2A, the peripheral region 120 may have a first region 121, and the first region 121 is defined as a range extending from a boundary 100A of the display region 110 and the peripheral region 120 to the direction of the sealant 700 by 100 micrometers. As shown in fig. 1A and fig. 2A, the first region 121 covers a range extending 100 micrometers from the outer periphery (i.e., the boundary 100A) of the display area 110, and surrounds the display area 110.
In an embodiment, the spacer 800 in the first region 121 is, for example, a conductive stopper (conductive stopper), which is used to prevent the conductive structures on the upper and lower sides of the spacer 800 from being shorted, and provide a supporting effect. However, the above is an embodiment, and the spacer 800 in the first region 121 of the disclosure is not limited to the conductive barrier layer.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2A, the unit of the first width P and the second width Q is micrometers (μm), and the values of the first width P and the second width Q of the spacer 800 located in the first region 121 satisfy the following condition: 0 ≦ P/Q ≦ 1. In some embodiments, the first width P and the second width Q are expressed in micrometers (μm), and the values of the first width P and the second width Q of the spacer 800 located in the first region 121 may further satisfy the following condition: 0.01 ≦ P/Q ≦ 1.
As described above, when the first alignment layer 400 is manufactured, an alignment layer liquid material needs to be coated on the first substrate 100, and the coating liquid stays on the surface of the three-dimensional structure (e.g., spacer) and the generated surface tension phenomenon may cause uneven thickness expansion of the coating liquid film layer, as shown in fig. 2A, since the first region 121 is the region closest to the display region 110, when the application amount of the coating liquid is fixed, if the capillary phenomenon generated by the three-dimensional structure in the first region 121 causes the liquid level of the coating liquid in the region to be undesirably increased and more coating liquid body stays in the first region 121, the amount of the coating liquid in the display region 110 adjacent to the first region 121 is inevitably reduced, and the coating liquid film layer in the display region 110 is further undesirably lowered; as a result, not only the first alignment layer 400 in the peripheral region 120 but also the first alignment layer 400 in the display region 110 may have uneven thickness.
In contrast, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the values of the first width P and the second width Q of the spacer 800 in the first region 121 satisfy the condition of 0 ≦ P/Q ≦ 1, and even further satisfy the condition of 0.01 ≦ P/Q ≦ 1, the shape of the spacer 800 in the first region 121 is approximately circular (as shown in fig. 2A), and since the magnitude of the liquid surface tension and the liquid level are inversely proportional to the contact length of the three-dimensional structure, the spacer 800 satisfying the above conditions can have a relatively small liquid level contact length (i.e. the perimeter 800b of the cross-sectional area 800a of the spacer 800 as shown in fig. 1E) while having a relatively large supporting area (i.e. the cross-sectional area 800a of the top of the spacer 800 as shown in fig. 1E), and the small liquid level contact length can reduce the capillary phenomenon generated by the coating liquid and improve the thickness spread of the coating liquid film, and the coating liquid staying in the first region 121 is reduced, it is also possible to further reduce the amount of reduction of the coating liquid in the display region 110 and maintain the uniform coating liquid thickness preset in the display region 110. In this way, when the first width P and the second width Q of the spacer 800 in the first region 121 satisfy the above condition, the thickness uniformity of the display region 110 and the first alignment layer 400 in the first region 121 can be improved, the generation of color mura (mura) of the image can be reduced, and the display quality of the display device can be improved.
In the embodiment, a distance D1 between the spacers 800 in the first region 121 is, for example, greater than or equal to 5 microns and less than or equal to 90 microns. Since the distance between the three-dimensional structures and the strength of the capillary phenomenon are inversely proportional, according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the distance D1 between the spacers 800 in the first region 121 is relatively small, and the shape of the spacers 800 is approximately circular, so that the effects of reducing the capillary phenomenon generated by the coating liquid, improving the uneven thickness spread of the coating liquid film layer, and improving the thickness uniformity of the first alignment layer 400 can be achieved.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 1A and fig. 2A, the peripheral region 120 further has a second region 123, and the second region 123 is defined as a region extending from a position 100 micrometers away from the boundary 100A to the sealant 700 to a position 800 micrometers away from the boundary 100A. In other words, the second region 123 covers a range extending from the outer periphery of the first region 121 to the direction of the sealant 700 by 700 μm, and surrounds the display region 110 and the first region 121.
In an embodiment, the spacers 800 in the second area 123 are, for example, a gap support layer (gappport) to provide a supporting effect. However, the above is an embodiment, and the spacer 800 in the second area 123 of the disclosure is not limited to the spacing support layer.
In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2A, a distance B micrometers between the spacer 800 and the boundary 100A in the second region 123 (only one of the spacers 800 is denoted by B micrometers between the boundary 100A in the drawing as a representative example), the unit of the first width P, the second width Q, and the distance B is micrometers (μm), and the numerical values (without unit) of the first width P, the second width Q, and the distance B satisfy the following condition: P/Q ≦ (B-70)/30, 100< B ≦ 800.
For example, when the first width P and the second width Q of the spacer 800 are 100 micrometers and 6 micrometers, respectively, P/Q is 16.67. If the spacer 800 is placed in the second region 123 at a distance of 161 μm from the boundary 100A, then (B-70)/30 ═ 3, (161-70)/30 ═ 3, 3 is not greater than or equal to 16.67, and according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the spacer 800 is placed at a distance of 161 μm, the effect of the present invention cannot be achieved, which may cause an adverse effect of non-uniform thickness of the first alignment layer 400. For example, if the spacer 800 is disposed in the second region 123 at a distance of 600 μm from the boundary 100A, then (B-70)/30 is (600-70)/30 is 17.7, and 17.7 is greater than 16.67, then according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the spacer 800 is disposed at a distance of 600 μm from the boundary, the supporting effect of the spacer 800 can be achieved at the same time, and the thickness uniformity of the first alignment layer 400 can be maintained. In other words, as can be seen from the above two examples, the condition of P/Q ≦ (B-70)/30 provides a design rule for adjusting the relative relationship between the shape (P/Q) of the spacer 800 and the position (distance B) thereof, so that the above condition can be satisfied to simultaneously achieve the supporting effect of the spacer 800 and maintain the thickness uniformity of the first alignment layer 400.
