The semiconductor layer 130 is disposed on the gate insulating layer 136 and overlaps the gate electrode 128. The semiconductor layer 130 may be, for example, amorphous silicon, polysilicon, or a metal oxide (e.g., indium gallium zinc oxide), but is not limited thereto.

The source electrode 132 and the drain electrode 134 are disposed on the semiconductor layer 130 and the gate insulating layer 136. In the present embodiment, the gate 128 may be formed by a first metal layer, and the source 132 and the drain 134 may be formed by a second metal layer, but not limited thereto. The first metal layer and the second metal layer may be a single metal layer of aluminum, copper, titanium, tungsten, or the like, or a composite metal layer of molybdenum/aluminum/molybdenum, titanium/aluminum/titanium, titanium/copper \8230, or the like, which is not limited in the present invention. In addition, the display panel 10 includes an insulating layer 138 disposed on the source 132 and the drain 134.

In the first sub-pixel 102 (fig. 2), the first common electrode 108 is disposed on the insulating layer 138. In addition, the display panel 10 includes an insulating layer 140 disposed on the first common electrode 108 and covering at least the first common electrode 108. The first pixel electrode 110 is disposed on the insulating layer 140 and overlaps the first common electrode 108.

The first sub-pixel 102 includes an in-plane switching (IPS) structure in which a first common electrode 108 and a first pixel electrode 110 are disposed on a substrate 100. In the driving state of the first sub-pixel 102, the first pixel electrode 110 (and the slit SL) and the first common electrode 108 provide a portion of the display medium layer 106 (e.g., the display medium layer 106 in the first sub-pixel 102) with a lateral electric field (or fringe field).

As shown in fig. 2 and 5, in the first sub-pixel 102, the first color resist 114 is disposed on the substrate 200.

The second sub-pixel 104 includes an Electrically Controlled Birefringence (ECB) structure in which the display medium layer 106 is disposed between the second common electrode 116 and the second pixel electrode 118. In the driving state of the second sub-pixel 104, the second pixel electrode 118 and the second common electrode 116 provide a vertical electric field to a portion of the display medium layer 106 (e.g., the display medium layer 106 in the second sub-pixel 104).

As shown in fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the ratio of the area of the second common electrode 116 to the area of the second color resistor 122 is greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than or equal to 0.95, but not limited thereto.

In addition, in the first sub-pixel 102 and the second sub-pixel 104 of the present embodiment, the display medium layer 106 (liquid crystal layer) may be a positive liquid crystal, the included angle between the alignment directions of the substrate 100 and the substrate 200 with respect to the liquid crystal layer may be 0 degree to 10 degrees, the pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal may be 0 degree to 10 degrees, and the polarization directions of the polarizer 124 and the polarizer 126 are perpendicular to each other, but not limited thereto. Therefore, the first subpixel 102 can be made to emit light in the forward direction and the oblique direction in the driven state, and the second subpixel 104 can be made to emit light in the oblique direction without emitting light in the forward direction in the driven state.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, fig. 6 is a luminance distribution diagram of the second sub-pixel in the off state of the present invention, and fig. 7 is a luminance distribution diagram of the second sub-pixel in the driving state of the present invention. In fig. 6 and 7, the center of the circle may represent a forward direction, and the forward direction may be parallel to the direction Z or perpendicular to the surface of the

substrate

100 or 200. Eight diagonal directions (e.g., 10 °, 20 °, 30 °, 40 °, 50 °, 60 °, 70 °, and 80 °) may correspond to eight concentric circles, and the angle of the diagonal direction is the angle between the diagonal direction and the forward direction. Different angles on the rounded edge (e.g., 0 °, 30 °, 60 °, 90 °, 120 °, 150 °, 180 °, 210 °, 240 °, 270 °, 300 °, and 330 °) represent different horizontal directions in a plane (e.g., a plane made up of directions X, Y). The values on the right side in fig. 6 and 7 represent lightness, and these values may be normalized (normalized) values, and the unit may be an arbitrary unit (a.u.).

As shown in fig. 6, in the off state of the second sub-pixel 104, the luminance of light is equal to 0 or close to 0 in different oblique and horizontal directions, and the luminance of light ranges from 0a.u. to 0.008980a.u., for example. As shown in fig. 7, the luminance of light of the second sub-pixel 104 in the vicinity of the center of the circle (i.e., the forward direction) is close to 0 or less than 0.01692a.u. in the driving state, and therefore, the light emitted by the second sub-pixel 104 in the driving state can hardly be emitted out of the display panel 10 in the forward direction. Further, the luminance of light is greater than 0 between 120 ° and 240 ° or 300 ° and 30 ° in the horizontal direction, and between 15 ° and 80 ° in the oblique direction. Therefore, in the driving state of the second sub-pixel 104, the light emitted from the second sub-pixel 104 can be emitted out of the display panel 10 along a side-view direction.

Next, referring to fig. 8 and 9, fig. 8 is a schematic display diagram of the display panel according to the first embodiment of the invention in a forward direction, and fig. 9 is a schematic display diagram of the display panel according to the first embodiment of the invention in a side view direction. In the first embodiment, the red sub-pixel 102R in the first sub-pixel row PR1 is turned on, and the blue sub-pixel 104B in the second sub-pixel row PR2 adjacent to the red sub-pixel 102R in the direction Y is also turned on. In addition, the green sub-pixel 102G and the blue sub-pixel 102B in the first sub-pixel row PR1 are turned off, and the red sub-pixel 104R and the green sub-pixel 104G in the second sub-pixel row PR2 are also turned off.

As shown in fig. 8, since the red sub-pixel 102R and the blue sub-pixel 104B are in the driving state, the light of the red sub-pixel 102R can be emitted out of the display panel 10 in the forward direction, and the light of the blue sub-pixel 104B can not be emitted out of the display panel 10 in the forward direction. Therefore, when the user views the display panel 10 in the forward direction, the color displayed by the red sub-pixel 102R (i.e., the first sub-pixel 102) can be observed.

As shown in fig. 9, since the red sub-pixel 102R and the blue sub-pixel 104B are driven, the light of the red sub-pixel 102R can emit out of the display panel 10 in a side-view direction, and the light of the blue sub-pixel 104B can emit out of the display panel 10 in a side-view direction. Thus, a person positioned beside the user may view the colors displayed by the red sub-pixel 102R (i.e., the first sub-pixel 102) and the blue sub-pixel 104B (i.e., the second sub-pixel 104), which in this embodiment is pink (i.e., a mixture of red and blue).

Referring to fig. 10 and 11, fig. 10 is a schematic view of a display panel according to a second embodiment of the invention in a forward direction, and fig. 11 is a schematic view of the display panel according to the second embodiment of the invention in a side view direction. In the second embodiment, the red sub-pixel 102R and the green sub-pixel 102G in the first sub-pixel row PR1 are on, the blue sub-pixel 104B in the second sub-pixel row PR2 adjacent to the red sub-pixel 102R in the direction Y is also on, and the red sub-pixel 104R in the second sub-pixel row PR2 adjacent to the green sub-pixel 102G in the direction Y is also on. In addition, the blue sub-pixels 102B in the first sub-pixel row PR1 are turned off, and the green sub-pixels 104G in the second sub-pixel row PR2 are also turned off.

As shown in fig. 10, since the red sub-pixel 102R, the green sub-pixel 102G, the blue sub-pixel 104B and the red sub-pixel 104R are in a driving state, the light of the red sub-pixel 102R and the green sub-pixel 102G can be emitted out of the display panel 10 in a forward direction, and the light of the blue sub-pixel 104B and the red sub-pixel 104R cannot be emitted out of the display panel 10 in the forward direction. Therefore, when the user views the display panel 10 in the forward direction, the colors (e.g., yellow) displayed by the red sub-pixel 102R and the green sub-pixel 102G (i.e., the first sub-pixel 102) can be observed.

As shown in fig. 11, since the red sub-pixel 102R, the green sub-pixel 102G, the blue sub-pixel 104B and the red sub-pixel 104R are driven, the light of the red sub-pixel 102R and the green sub-pixel 102G can be emitted out of the display panel 10 along the side-viewing direction, and the light of the blue sub-pixel 104B and the red sub-pixel 104R can be emitted out of the display panel 10 along the side-viewing direction. Therefore, a person beside the user can view the colors displayed by the red sub-pixel 102R and the green sub-pixel 102G (i.e., the first sub-pixel 102) and the blue sub-pixel 104B and the red sub-pixel 104R (i.e., the second sub-pixel 104), which in this embodiment is pink (i.e., a mixture of red, blue, and green).

Therefore, according to the first and second embodiments, when the display panel 10 is turned on in the privacy mode, the first sub-pixel 102 and the second sub-pixel 104 adjacent to each other in the direction Y may be turned on simultaneously, so that a person beside the user may view a color or a picture different from that viewed by the user.

In summary, in the display panel of the invention, the first sub-pixel and the second sub-pixel are disposed adjacent to each other, the first sub-pixel has a transverse electric field switching structure, the second sub-pixel has an electrically controlled birefringence structure, and the color resistance of the first sub-pixel is different from the color resistance of the second sub-pixel. Under the driving state, the first sub-pixel can emit light in the forward direction and the side-looking direction, and the second sub-pixel can only emit light in the side-looking direction, so that a user can observe normal colors or pictures in the forward direction, and people beside the user can observe colors or pictures different from the colors or pictures observed by the user, thereby achieving the anti-peeping effect. In addition, through the structure of the invention, no peep-proof element is additionally arranged outside the display panel, so that the thickness and the weight of the display panel can be effectively reduced.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
