Description

Display panel and display device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of liquid crystal technologies, and in particular, to a display panel and a display device.
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. The liquid crystal display device includes a color filter substrate and a thin film transistor array substrate which are oppositely disposed, and a liquid crystal layer interposed therebetween.
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). 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. In addition to the requirement of a wide viewing angle, there is also a need to be able to switch or adjust the display device to a narrow viewing angle mode where privacy is required.
In order to realize the switching of the wide and narrow viewing angles of the liquid crystal display device, there is a method of applying a vertical electric field to liquid crystal molecules by using a viewing angle control electrode on one side of a color filter substrate to realize a narrow viewing angle mode. Referring to fig. 1 to 2, a liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate 1, a second substrate 3, and a liquid crystal layer 2 located between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 3, wherein the first substrate 1 is a color filter substrate, the second substrate 3 is a thin film transistor array substrate, and the liquid crystal display device has a plurality of sub-pixels (e.g., R, G, B sub-pixels) distributed in an array. A pixel driving circuit including, for example, Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) for driving the plurality of sub-pixels, scanning lines, data lines, a pixel electrode 302, and a common electrode 301 is provided on the inner side of the second substrate 3.
As shown in fig. 1, when wide viewing angle display is required, the viewing angle control electrode 101 of the first substrate 3 applies a voltage equal to or close to that of the common electrode 301, so that the potential difference between the viewing angle control electrode 101 and the common electrode 301 of the second substrate 3 is small, and the liquid crystal display device realizes wide viewing angle display under the in-plane electric field between the pixel electrode 302 and the common electrode 301.
As shown in fig. 2, when a narrow viewing angle display is required, a voltage different from that of the common electrode 301 is applied to the viewing angle control electrode 101 of the first substrate 1, so that a large potential difference exists between the viewing angle control electrode 101 and the common electrode 301 of the second substrate 3, at this time, a vertical electric field (as shown by an arrow E in the figure) is generated between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 3, liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 2 are tilted due to the vertical electric field while horizontally rotating under the in-plane electric field between the pixel electrode 302 and the common electrode 301, and the liquid crystal molecules leak light to reduce the contrast of the liquid crystal display device, thereby finally realizing the narrow viewing angle display.
Touch screens have been widely used in many fields such as personal computers, smart phones, public information, smart appliances, industrial control, and the like. In the current touch field, there are mainly resistive touch screens, photoelectric touch screens, ultrasonic touch screens, and planar capacitive touch screens, which are also externally hung or embedded according to the position distribution.
Currently, touch control of a display screen is basically of an external hanging type, which requires an additional touch control box outside the display device, for example, a touch control box 102 is disposed outside the first substrate 1, as shown in fig. 1. Of course, some display panels are in-cell touch, for example, a touch layer is disposed on the second substrate 3 for touch control, the touch signal-to-noise ratio of the in-cell touch display panel changes with the display frames, and different display frames have different liquid crystal arrangements to cause different self-capacitances, which requires a long time to adjust the signal-to-noise ratio to meet the required requirements. And this structure also needs to plate a high resistance film on the first substrate 1 to prevent static electricity.
Because the touch box 102 for touch function is generally of an externally-hung type, and needs to be attached to a liquid crystal box independently, the thickness of the touch box can be increased, and the touch box 102 and the viewing angle control electrode 101 are separately manufactured on different layers, so that the respective functions are realized, when the liquid crystal box is in a narrow viewing angle, the viewing angle switching signal applied to the viewing angle control electrode 102 interferes with the touch signal, so that the touch signal is insensitive, or the touch signal interferes with the viewing angle switching signal, so that the narrow viewing angle effect is poor.
