Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display panel, where the display panel includes an array substrate 1, a color film layer 3, and a liquid crystal cell 2 disposed between the array substrate 1 and the color film layer 3, where the array substrate 1 includes pixels arranged in an array, each pixel includes a multi-domain sub-pixel region, as shown in fig. 2, a 4-domain design pixel is provided, that is, one pixel includes 4 sub-pixel regions (a region 01, a region 02, a region 03, and a region 04), and the number of sub-pixel regions divided by each pixel is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The color film layer 3 is a CF (color Filter) color film.
As shown in fig. 3, the liquid crystal cell 2 includes an alignment film 21 and a liquid crystal layer 22 disposed on the alignment film 21, wherein one side of the liquid crystal cell 2 close to the alignment film 21 may be disposed between the array substrate 1 and the color film layer 3 and close to the array substrate 1, or disposed between the array substrate 1 and the color film layer 3 and close to the color film layer 3, that is, the entire display panel may be disposed in the order of the array substrate 1, the alignment film 21, the liquid crystal layer 22 and the color film layer 3, or the array substrate 1, the liquid crystal layer 22, the alignment film 21 and the color film layer 3.
The liquid crystal layer 22 includes a plurality of liquid crystal modules (not shown in the figure), each of the liquid crystal modules corresponds to a corresponding pixel in an array one-to-one manner, and the liquid crystal in each of the liquid crystal modules is used for adjusting the light of the corresponding pixel. In addition, since each pixel includes a multi-domain sub-pixel region, the liquid crystal module corresponding to the pixel is set as a plurality of liquid crystal sub-regions (not shown in the figure), each liquid crystal sub-region corresponds to a sub-pixel region one to one, that is, the liquid crystal of each liquid crystal sub-region is used for adjusting the light of the corresponding sub-pixel region.
The liquid crystal sub-regions include at least a first type liquid crystal 221 and a second type liquid crystal 222, and a first deflection state of the first type liquid crystal 221 and a second deflection state of the second type liquid crystal 222 are different, that is, the liquid crystal sub-regions include at least two types of liquid crystals having different deflection states. The present embodiment is not particularly limited to the division of the regions of the first-type liquid crystal 221 and the second-type liquid crystal 222.
A liquid crystal module includes 4 liquid crystal sub-regions and liquid crystals in two deflection states, that is, liquid crystals in two deflection states are distributed in each sub-pixel region in the 4-domain sub-pixel region shown in fig. 2, one of the distribution conditions is shown in fig. 4, first-type liquid crystals 221 are correspondingly distributed in a middle circular region, and second-type liquid crystals 222 are correspondingly distributed in the remaining regions except the circular region. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 5, the middle rectangular region is distributed with the first type liquid crystal 221, and the remaining regions except the middle rectangular region are distributed with the second type liquid crystal 222. Or, a certain liquid crystal module includes 4 liquid crystal sub-regions and two liquid crystals in a deflected state, and the other distribution is as shown in fig. 6, the first-type liquid crystal 221 is correspondingly distributed in the middle small rectangular region, and the second-type liquid crystal 222 is correspondingly distributed except for the middle small rectangular region, that is, the corresponding region of the first-type liquid crystal 221 in each liquid crystal sub-region may also be included by the corresponding region of the second-type liquid crystal 222, that is, the first-type liquid crystals 221 in the adjacent liquid crystal sub-regions are independent from each other and do not contact each other. In order to make the interfaces of the different types of liquid crystals uniform and transition, the cross section of the interface of the different types of liquid crystals should be a smooth curve as much as possible.
In this embodiment, for the individual sub-pixel regions in each pixel, at least two kinds of liquid crystals with different deflection states are arranged in the corresponding liquid crystal sub-regions, and the viewing angle of the panel can be further improved compared with the case where the liquid crystals in the same liquid crystal sub-region are all set to the same deflection state.
In an embodiment, the deflected state of the liquid crystal comprises a deflected direction and a deflected angle, i.e. the first deflected state comprises a first deflected direction and a first pretilt angle and the second deflected state comprises a second deflected direction and a second pretilt angle. However, the initial states of the first-type liquid crystal 221 and the second-type liquid crystal 222 are the same before alignment is performed on the first-type liquid crystal 221 and the second-type liquid crystal 222, and therefore, the reference objects of the first-type liquid crystal 221 and the second-type liquid crystal 222 are the same with respect to the initial direction of the liquid crystals, and the specific reference object is not limited. For example, for a homeotropically aligned liquid crystal, if the liquid crystal molecules in the initial state without alignment are vertically aligned with respect to the substrate surface, the deflected state is the deflection direction and the deflection angle of the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules with respect to the initial state.
The liquid crystal sub-area is provided with a plurality of liquid crystal sub-areas, wherein the liquid crystal sub-areas are different in deflection state, the different deflection states affect different visual angles, and the deflection direction and the deflection angle can affect the visual angles, so that either the deflection direction or the deflection angle can be different, or the deflection direction and the deflection angle can be different.
It should be noted that if only the deflection directions are different, but the deflection angles are the same, i.e. the pretilt angles are the same, the brightness is consistent under the same voltage, and the brightness of the panel is improved.
In one embodiment, the liquid crystal compositions of different liquid crystal sub-regions included in the same liquid crystal module are the same, that is, the different liquid crystal sub-regions included in the same liquid crystal module at least include the first type liquid crystal 221 and the second type liquid crystal 222, the first deflection states of the first type liquid crystal 221 of the different liquid crystal sub-regions are the same, the second deflection states of the second type liquid crystal 222 of the different liquid crystal sub-regions are the same, that is, the first deflection direction and the first pretilt angle of the first type liquid crystal 221 of the different liquid crystal sub-regions are the same, the second deflection direction and the second pretilt angle of the second type liquid crystal 222 of the different liquid crystal sub-regions are the same, the liquid crystal states of the different liquid crystal sub-regions included in the same liquid crystal module are the same, the final viewing angle is the same, and the display effect is better.
In one embodiment, the liquid crystal distribution conditions of different types of different liquid crystal sub-regions included in the same liquid crystal module are the same, the distribution regions of the first type of liquid crystal 221 of the adjacent liquid crystal sub-regions in the same liquid crystal module are symmetrical about the boundary plane of the adjacent liquid crystal sub-regions, the distribution regions of the second type of liquid crystal 222 of the adjacent liquid crystal sub-regions are symmetrical about the boundary plane of the adjacent liquid crystal sub-regions, and the distribution regions of the second type of liquid crystal 222 of the adjacent liquid crystal sub-regions are symmetrical about the boundary plane of the adjacent liquid crystal sub-regions, so that the deflection angles of the liquid crystals in different directions are close, and the viewing angle of the panel is improved.
The liquid crystal distribution areas of the same type in different liquid crystal sub-areas in each liquid crystal module are communicated with each other, and are respectively an integral body, as shown in fig. 4 or fig. 5, the areas of the first type liquid crystal 221 in each liquid crystal sub-area are communicated with each other. Alternatively, at least some types of liquid crystal distribution regions of different liquid crystal sub-regions in each liquid crystal module do not communicate with each other and are divided independently, and as shown in fig. 6, the regions of the first type of liquid crystal 221 of each liquid crystal sub-region do not communicate with each other.
In one embodiment, the liquid crystal cell 2 further includes another alignment film (not shown) disposed opposite to the alignment film 21, and the liquid crystal layer 22 is disposed between the alignment film 21 and the another alignment film, i.e., the alignment film 21 is disposed between the array substrate 1 and the color film layer 3 and the liquid crystal layer 22, so that the liquid crystal alignment is more precise and the panel viewing angle is better.
