Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid crystal display device. Referring to fig. 1, light 104 emitted from a light source 102 of a liquid crystal display device 100 is transmitted in a direction indicated by an arrow, and generally needs to pass through at least one of a plurality of color resists 110 of a color filter substrate 106 before being emitted through a glass substrate 108 of the color filter substrate 106.
The plurality of color resists 110 are distributed among a plurality of light-shielding blocks 112 on the glass substrate 108. The light shielding blocks 112 have a high optical density and block the light 120 of the light 104.
Unless otherwise specifically stated, "above" herein does not represent a specific up-down orientation in a color filter substrate, a product such as a liquid crystal display device, a configuration, or the like, but is merely used to indicate that a mutual positional relationship in a certain state is an up-down relationship. In other states, the mutual positional relationship may be upside down with respect to the above-described certain state, and may be a left-right relationship, a front-back relationship, or the like.
Each of the plurality of light shielding blocks 112 includes at least one corner portion 114. Each of the corner portions 114 is located between the peripheral portion 116 of the color resist 110 adjacent to the corresponding light shielding block 112 and the glass substrate 108.
The light 118 of the light 104 entering the color resist 110 and reaching the glass substrate 108 can exit through the glass substrate 108.
The light 120 of the light 104 that enters the color resist 110 but is blocked by the corner 114 tends to fail to reach and exit the glass substrate 108.
For example, each of the light shielding blocks 112 shown in fig. 1 has a trapezoidal cross section, and each of the color resists 110 includes a first surface 122 contacting the adjacent corner portion 114, a second surface 124 extending from one end of the first surface 122 and contacting the glass substrate 108, and a third surface 126 extending from the other end of the first surface 122 and contacting the corner portion 114.
The light rays 118 originating from the light source 102, entering the color resist 110, and reaching the second face 124 may exit through the glass substrate 108.
The light rays 120 originating from the light source 102, entering the color resists 110, being blocked by the first and third faces 122, 126 of the corner portion 114 may not reach and exit the glass substrate 108.
Moreover, the first surface 122 contacts with a corresponding oblique side of the trapezoidal section of the light shielding block 112, and an included angle α between the first surface 122 and the second surface 124 is greater than 90 degrees. In the case that each of the color resists 110 is surrounded by a plurality of adjacent light shielding blocks 112, the second surface 124 of each of the color resists 110 surrounded by the corresponding corner portion 114 has a smaller size, and the proportion of the light ray 118 that can pass through the second surface 124 and exit through the glass substrate 108 is relatively smaller than that of the light ray 104.
In addition, a portion of the light 128 from the light source 104 can not enter the color photoresist 110, which is probably due to being blocked and absorbed by the spacer 132 between the planarization layer 130 of the color filter substrate 106 and the array substrate 131. The planarization layer 130 is located between the plurality of color resists 110 and the plurality of light-shielding blocks 112 and the spacers 132.
For example, when the minimum acute angles between the light ray 118 and the glass substrate 108 in the same plane where the color resist 110 and the corner 114 intersect are β and γ, respectively, the exit angle of the light ray 104 may be 180 degrees minus β and γ, and is generally equal to or less than 150 degrees. Accordingly, the viewing angle of the liquid crystal display device 100 is also small. Moreover, the ratio of the light rays 118 emitted through the glass substrate 108 to the light rays 104 emitted from the light source 102 is small, so that the liquid crystal display device 100 has a room for improving the brightness.
Fig. 2 is a schematic front view of a color filter substrate according to an aspect of an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a liquid crystal display device according to another aspect of the embodiment of the invention, which includes the color filter substrate in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 2 and 3, a color filter substrate 10 includes: a glass substrate 12; a plurality of color resists 14 distributed on the glass substrate 12 at intervals; and a plurality of light-shielding spacers 16, each of the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 including a light-shielding portion 18 extending from the glass substrate 12 and a reflective portion 20 extending from the light-shielding portion 18, the light-shielding portion 18 of the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 contacting and surrounding the plurality of color resists 14.
The color filter substrate 10 of the embodiment of the invention can be applied to a liquid crystal display device, the plurality of color resists 14 of the color filter substrate 10 are in direct contact with the glass substrate 12, and no light shielding material blocks the light 220 therebetween, and the reflecting portion 20 of the light shielding spacer 16 can reflect the light 42 which does not enter the plurality of color resists 14, then enter the color resists 14, and exit through the glass substrate 12, which can be beneficial to increasing the exit angle of the light 44, and further improve the visual angle, brightness and the like of the corresponding liquid crystal display device.
The glass substrate 12 of the color filter substrate 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention may be transparent, so as to facilitate the light rays 40, 42 to pass through and exit.
With continued reference to fig. 2, the plurality of color resists 14 may include a plurality of resist units 140. The photoresist units 140 are spaced apart from each other and distributed on the glass substrate 12. Each of the plurality of photoresist units 140 may be a three-color photoresist unit including a red photoresist R, a green photoresist G, and a blue photoresist B arranged at intervals over the glass substrate 12.
In an embodiment not shown in the drawings, each of the plurality of photoresist units 140 may be a photoresist unit with four or more colors, and may include a yellow photoresist, a transparent photoresist, and the like in addition to the red photoresist R, the green photoresist G, and the blue photoresist B. The yellow photoresist and/or the transparent photoresist can be helpful to increase the color gamut saturation and/or the brightness of the liquid crystal display device. The red photoresist R, the green photoresist G, the blue photoresist B, the yellow photoresist and the transparent photoresist can be arranged in an island shape, a strip shape, a mosaic shape, a triangle shape, a quadrilateral shape and the like.
Referring to fig. 3, the light-shielding portions 18 of the light-shielding spacers 16 and the color resists 14 are distributed on the glass substrate 12 adjacent to each other. The height of the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 may be any suitable value. Optionally, the height of the light-shielding spacers 16 extending from the glass substrate 12 ranges from 6 microns to 9 microns.
The thickness of the light shielding portion 18 of the light shielding spacer 16 extending from the glass substrate 12 may be equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the color resists 14 extending from the glass substrate 12. The light-shielding portions 18 of the light-shielding spacers 16 can help prevent light 46 from passing through the glass substrate 12 except the color resists 14. The optical density of the light-shielding portions 18 of the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 may be any suitable value. Optionally, the light-shielding portion 18 of the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 has an optical density in a range of 3.5 to 5.
The reflective portion 20 of the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 may be a portion of the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 extending from the glass substrate 12 beyond the thickness of the plurality of color resists 14. The reflective portion 20 may include a reflective material, such as a reflective metal, e.g., silver, aluminum, etc. Optionally, the reflection portion 20 includes a main body portion 22 and a reflection layer 24 on a surface of the main body portion 22.
The body portion 22 may be a tapered cylinder. Optionally, the reflective layer 24 includes a side reflective layer 26 on a side surface of the main body portion 22. The side reflective layer 26 can reflect the light 42 incident thereon, so that the light 42 changes transmission route from not entering the plurality of color resists 14 to reflecting into the plurality of color resists 14 and then exiting through the glass substrate 12.
Optionally, the reflective layer 24 includes an end reflective layer 28 on an end surface of the body portion 22. The end reflection layer 28 is located at an end of the main body 22 away from the light shielding portion 18.
The reflective layer 24 may comprise any suitable reflective material. Optionally, the reflective layer 24 comprises a reflective metal.
The reflective metal may comprise any suitable metal, alloy, or any combination of metals and alloys. Optionally, the reflective layer 24 includes at least one of silver and aluminum.
The body portion 22 may extend from the light blocking portion 18 in any suitable manner. Alternatively, the main body portion 22 is integrally formed with the light shielding portion 18. This can contribute to the ease of processing and manufacturing the main body portion 22 and the light shielding portion 18.
The main body 22 and the light shielding portion 18 may be made of any suitable material. Alternatively, the main body 22 and the light shielding portion 18 may be made of the same material. Thus, light leakage can be prevented.
The main body portion 22 and the light shielding portion 18 may be made of any suitable material. Alternatively, the main body portion 22 and the light shielding portion 18 are made of an acrylic resin material and a carbon black pigment. Thus, light leakage can be prevented.
The light blocking portions 18 of the light blocking spacers 16 may surround and contact the color resists 14 in any suitable manner. Optionally, the light shielding portion 18 of each of the plurality of light shielding spacers 16 includes an overlapping portion 34 that overlaps an adjacent one of the plurality of colored light blockers 14. The overlapping portion 34 may help prevent light leakage.
Each of the plurality of color resists 14 may have a rectangular cross section. Optionally, each of the plurality of colored photo-resists 14 includes a first surface 30 contacting at least one of the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 and a second surface 32 contacting the glass substrate 12, and the first surface 30 intersects the second surface 32 at an angle θ smaller than or equal to 90 degrees. The light 40, 220,42 entering the plurality of color resists 14 to the second side 32 may exit through the glass substrate 12.
Compared with the angle α between the first surface 122 and the second surface 124 in fig. 1 being greater than 90 degrees, in the embodiment of the present invention, the angle θ is less than or equal to 90 degrees, and in the case that the sum of the surface areas of each of the plurality of color resists 14 and the adjacent one of the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 on the glass substrate 12 is equal to the sum of the surface areas of each of the plurality of color resists 110 and the adjacent one of the plurality of light-shielding blocks 112 on the glass substrate 108, the size of the second surface 32 is larger than that of the second surface 124, and relatively more light rays 40, 220,42 can reach and pass through the second surface 32 after entering the color resists 14.
For example, the light rays 220 with the corresponding exit angles to the light rays 120 blocked by the corner portions 114 in fig. 1 may reach the second face 32 and exit through the glass substrate 12. That is to say, in the case that the total area occupied by the plurality of color resists 14 and the plurality of light-shielding spacers 16 of the color filter substrate 10 of the embodiment of the invention on the glass substrate 12 is equal to the total area occupied by the plurality of color resists 110 and the plurality of light-shielding blocks 112 on the glass substrate 108 of the color filter substrate 106 in fig. 1, the exit angle of the light ray 44 is greater than the exit angle of the light ray 104.
For example, when the minimum acute angles between the light 44 and the glass substrate 12 in the same plane, which are emitted from the intersection of the color photoresist 14 and the light-shielding spacer 16, are β 1 and γ 1, respectively, the emission angle of the light 44 may be a difference obtained by subtracting β 1 and γ 1 from 180 degrees, which is generally greater than 150 degrees, or greater than or equal to 170 degrees, and the viewing angle of the corresponding liquid crystal display device is also large, and the brightness may be improved by about 5%, 5% to 10%, or about 10%.
