Detailed Description
In order to make the technical solution and advantages of the present application more clear, a specific implementation of a display panel and a display device provided by embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the following description of the preferred embodiments is provided for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the application, and is not intended to limit the application. And embodiments of the application and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
The thickness, size and shape of the films in the drawings do not reflect the actual scale of the display panel, and are intended to illustrate the present application.
For using UV 2 For the liquid crystal display panel prepared by the technology a, at least four alignment areas (for example, four alignment areas) are formed in the pixel electrode area of each sub-pixel unit correspondingly. As shown in fig. 1, if the pixel electrode is divided into four regions, the alignment angle of the first region A1 located at the upper right corner forms an angle of 135 ° with the horizontal direction, the alignment angle of the second region A2 located at the upper left corner forms an angle of 45 ° with the horizontal direction, the alignment angle of the third region A3 located at the lower left corner forms an angle of-45 ° with the horizontal direction, and the alignment angle of the fourth region A4 located at the lower right corner forms an angle of-135 ° with the horizontal direction.
When the display panel displays a picture, the pixel electrode and the common electrode of each sub-pixel unit form an electric field, and an electric field force is applied to the liquid crystal molecules positioned above the pixel electrode. The initial alignment angle of the liquid crystal molecules in the same alignment region is the same before the electric field force is applied. After the electric field force is applied, the liquid crystal molecules can tilt along the alignment angle of the corresponding area, so that the display panel can display the corresponding image.
In an ideal case, the azimuth angle of the liquid crystal is 45 degrees, but is limited by factors such as materials, manufacturing process, and influence of alignment angles in different directions at the junction of the alignment areas, and the same alignment area may have liquid crystal molecules with the azimuth angles smaller than 45 degrees and larger than 45 degrees at the same time, so that the inventor finds that the brightness and darkness of display pictures corresponding to different azimuth angles are different. For example, the transmittance of the liquid crystal display panel conforms to the formula Assuming that the phase difference delta is equal to pi, the liquid crystal azimuth angle +.>When the polarization is 30 degrees, 45 degrees and 60 degrees, when the traditional 0 degree/90 degree polaroid (an included angle between the absorption axes of the upper polaroid and the lower polaroid and the horizontal direction) is polarized, the brightness of adjacent domains (alignment areas) is not obviously different; when using 30 °/120 ° polarizer polarization, adjacent domains at 30 ° and 60 ° azimuth angle differ significantly in brightness; as shown in fig. 2, the first azimuth angle of action in fig. 2 is a schematic view of brightness difference of each alignment region when the first azimuth angle of action is 30 ° corresponding to the 0 °/90 ° polarizer and the 30 °/120 ° polarizer respectively, the second azimuth angle of action in fig. 2 is a schematic view of brightness difference of each alignment region when the second azimuth angle of action is 45 ° corresponding to the 0 °/90 ° polarizer and the 30 °/120 ° polarizer respectively, and the third azimuth angle of action in fig. 2 is a schematic view of brightness difference of each alignment region when the third azimuth angle of action is 60 ° corresponding to the 0 °/90 ° polarizer and the 30 °/120 ° polarizer respectively, it can be seen that quadrant (1) (3) is brighter than quadrant (2) (4) when the azimuth angle is 30 °; when the azimuth angle is 60 DEG, the (1) (3) quadrant is darker than the (2) (4) quadrant, so that in four alignment areas above and below the last column in FIG. 2, the (1) (3) quadrant is relatively darkIs a region with an azimuth angle greater than 45 degrees, and the relatively bright region in the (2) (4) quadrant is a region with an azimuth angle greater than 45 degrees. Through the above experimental verification, the positions where the azimuth angle of each alignment region is greater than or less than 45 ° in the liquid crystal display panel having the ideal azimuth angle of 45 ° (the last column illustrates the positions where the azimuth angle is greater than 45 ° and less than 45 ° in each alignment region) are determined.
According to the research, when the azimuth angle is 60 °, obvious shift occurs in the Gamma curve of the liquid crystal display panel, as shown in fig. 3, fig. 3 is a shift schematic diagram of the Gamma curve of the liquid crystal display panel under different gray scales, wherein the curve E is a standard Gamma curve of the positive viewing angle, and the curve F is a Gamma curve of the side view angle of 60 ° in the prior art, and it can be seen that the Gamma curve of the side view angle of 60 ° is obvious compared with the standard Gamma curve shift, so that the color cast phenomenon of the picture displayed by the liquid crystal display panel occurs.
In order to solve the problem that when the azimuth angle is 60 ° (greater than 45 °), shift occurs in Gamma voltage of the liquid crystal display panel, so that color cast phenomenon occurs in a picture displayed by the liquid crystal display panel, as shown in fig. 4, the embodiment of the application provides a display panel, which comprises an array substrate 1 and a counter substrate 2 which are oppositely arranged, and a liquid crystal layer 3 arranged between the array substrate 1 and the counter substrate 2, wherein an alignment layer is arranged on one side of at least one of the array substrate 1 and the counter substrate 2 facing the liquid crystal layer 3 (in the embodiment of the application, a first alignment layer 4 is arranged on one side of the array substrate 1 facing the liquid crystal layer 3, and a second alignment layer 5 is arranged on one side of the counter substrate 2 facing the liquid crystal layer 3), and the preset alignment angle of the liquid crystal layer 3 comprises an angle of 45 ° with the horizontal direction;
the array substrate 1 includes a plurality of sub-pixel units arranged in an array, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, fig. 5 and 6 illustrate a schematic structural diagram of only one sub-pixel unit, and the sub-pixel unit includes a light shielding structure 6, where the light shielding structure 6 coincides with at least a partial area having an azimuth angle of greater than 45 ° of the liquid crystal in a direction perpendicular to the array substrate 1.
According to the display panel provided by the embodiment of the application, the shading structure is arranged in the sub-pixel unit, and the shading structure is heavy to at least part of the area with the liquid crystal azimuth angle larger than 45 degrees in the liquid crystal layerIn addition, the embodiment of the application utilizes the optimal design that the shading structure shields the area with the azimuth angle of liquid crystal larger than 45 degrees, so that Gamma curve shift is reduced, the color cast problem is optimally improved, and the UV (ultraviolet) light-shielding device can be effectively improved 2 Color shift difference of viewing angle of the A-mode display panel.
Specifically, the liquid crystal azimuth refers to the direction angle of the projection of the liquid crystal molecular directors on the (X, Y) plane and the X axis.
In a specific implementation, in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, the light shielding structure 6 coincides with all areas where the azimuth angle of the liquid crystal is greater than 45 °. Therefore, the Gamma curve shift can be reduced to the minimum, and the color cast problem can be further optimized and improved.
In particular, in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4 to 6, the sub-pixel unit includes a pixel electrode, in the vertical alignment mode liquid crystal display panel, a multi-domain pixel structure is often adopted to improve the color cast problem, in this case, referring to fig. 5, i.e., the pixel electrode includes a plurality of electrode blocks, for example, the pixel electrode includes two groups (a first group B1 and a second group B2), each group includes 4 electrode blocks, where the first group B1 includes a first electrode block 71, a second electrode block 72, a third electrode block 73, and a fourth electrode block 74, the second group B2 includes a fifth electrode block 75, a sixth electrode block 76, a seventh electrode block 77, and an eighth electrode block 78, and the alignment layers (4 and 5) include a plurality of alignment areas (i.e., 8 alignment areas) corresponding to the electrode blocks one by one, and at least a portion of the alignment areas has an area with a liquid crystal azimuth angle greater than 45 °. According to the embodiment of the application, the area with the liquid crystal azimuth angle larger than 45 degrees is shielded by adopting the shading structure 6, so that Gamma curve shift in the side view angle can be reduced, and the color cast problem of the display picture of the liquid crystal display panel is improved.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first alignment layer 4 is disposed on the side of the array substrate 1 facing the liquid crystal layer 3, and the second alignment layer 5 is disposed on the side of the opposite substrate 2 facing the liquid crystal layer 3, and of course, the first alignment layer 4 may be disposed only on the side of the array substrate 1 facing the liquid crystal layer 3, or the second alignment layer 5 may be disposed only on the side of the opposite substrate 2 facing the liquid crystal layer 3The alignment of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 3 can be achieved. In particular, the alignment layer may achieve vertical alignment of the liquid crystal molecules by ultraviolet irradiation, i.e., by UV 2 The technology A is used for aligning liquid crystal molecules in the area where the pixel electrode is located, so that the liquid crystal molecules incline according to a preset direction, and under the action of a driving electric field of the pixel electrode, the liquid crystal molecules incline and deflect according to the preset direction.
In particular implementation, in the display panel provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the pixel electrodes are divided into a first group B1 and a second group B2 that are disposed at intervals, where the first group B1 and the second group B2 each include four electrode blocks that are electrically connected, for example, the first group B1 includes a first electrode block 71, a second electrode block 72, a third electrode block 73, and a fourth electrode block 74 that are electrically connected, and the second group B2 includes a fifth electrode block 75, a sixth electrode block 76, a seventh electrode block 77, and an eighth electrode block 78 that are electrically connected; each electrode block is formed with a plurality of slits (L1 and L2), and the extending directions of the slits on the same electrode block are the same, for example, the extending directions of the slits (L1) on the first electrode block 71 are the same, the extending directions of the slits (L1) on the second electrode block 72 are the same, and so on; the extending directions of the slits on the adjacent two electrode blocks are different, for example, in the first group B1, the extending directions of the slits (L1) on the first electrode block 71 and the slits (L1) on the second electrode block 72 are different, the extending directions of the slits (L1) on the first electrode block 71 and the slits (L1) on the third electrode block 73 are different, the extending directions of the slits (L1) on the third electrode block 73 and the slits (L1) on the fourth electrode block 74 are different, the extending directions of the slits (L1) on the second electrode block 72 and the slits (L1) on the fourth electrode block 74 are different, and the adjacent electrode blocks are electrically connected by branch electrodes along the row direction or the column direction, for example, the first electrode block and the second electrode block are electrically connected by branch electrodes extending along the column direction, that is, the branch electrodes are disposed in the region between the first electrode block and the second electrode block; the first electrode block and the third electrode block are electrically connected by a branch electrode extending in the row direction, i.e. the branch electrode is arranged in a region intermediate the first electrode block and the third electrode block. Since the slit extending directions of different electrode blocks in the same sub-pixel unit are different, the directions of the generated driving electric fields to the liquid crystal molecules are also different. In the working state, each electrode block and the common electrode form a driving electric field respectively, and the driving electric fields generated by the electrode blocks under the same potential are different due to the fact that the extending directions of the slits in each electrode block are different, and the deflection directions of liquid crystals under the action of different driving electric fields are different, so that the display color cast phenomenon of the sub-pixel units can be effectively improved.
As shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, the plurality of electrode blocks in each sub-pixel unit are arranged in four rows and two columns, the area where each electrode block is located is taken as a domain, the pixel electrodes in each sub-pixel unit are divided into a first group B1 and a second group B2 which are arranged at intervals, each group can be driven by a thin film transistor respectively, each group comprises four electrode blocks, namely four alignment areas, the alignment directions of the four alignment areas are different, and a display mode of 8-domain display is realized.
Specifically, the display effect corresponding to the first group of B1 electrode blocks and the display effect corresponding to the second group of B2 electrode blocks can be caused to present a brightness difference through charge sharing or capacitance discharging and other modes, so that the 8-domain effect of the 4-domain pixel can be realized, and the display color cast is improved.
In particular, in the display panel provided by the embodiment of the application, as shown in fig. 5, the preset alignment angles of the liquid crystal layers in the alignment areas corresponding to the first group B1 of electrode blocks and the second group B2 of electrode blocks are 45 °, that is, the angle between the slit (L1) on the first electrode block 71 and the horizontal direction is 45 °, the angle between the slit (L1) on the second electrode block 72 and the horizontal direction is 135 °, the angle between the slit (L1) on the third electrode block 73 and the horizontal direction is-45 °, the angle between the slit (L1) on the fourth electrode block 74 and the horizontal direction is-135 °, the angle between the slit (L2) on the fifth electrode block 75 and the horizontal direction is 45 °, the angle between the slit (L2) on the sixth electrode block 76 and the horizontal direction is-45 °, the angle between the slit (L2) on the eighth electrode block 78 and the horizontal direction is-135 °, and the angle between the slit (L2) on the first group B1 of electrode block and the second electrode block of the second electrode block of the liquid crystal layer is at least a partial area corresponding to the liquid crystal layer of the edge area. In this way, the light shielding structure 6 is used to shield the area with the liquid crystal azimuth angle larger than 45 degrees in each alignment area, so that the Gamma curve shift in the side view angle can be reduced, and the color shift of the display surface can be improved.
