Embodiment
First embodiment
LCD with dual-side displaying below in conjunction with Fig. 1 a and Fig. 1 b explanation first embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 1 a, it represents lCD with dual-side displaying.This liquid crystal indicator 100 comprises: a liquid crystal cell (LC cell) 101, two polaroids 108 and 114, one light supply apparatus 110, a blooming 112, an and control device 116.Liquid crystal cell 101 comprises one first substrate 102, one second substrate 104, reaches a liquid crystal layer 106.First and second substrate 102 and 104 is transparency carriers, for example glass or quartz base plate, and two substrates 102 and 104 parallel being oppositely arranged.Generally speaking, first and second substrate 102 and 104 both substrate front side wherein are provided with optical filter (color filter, CF) (be commonly referred to filter sheet base plate), and the front of another substrate is formed with a plurality of transistor (not shown)s and corresponding pixel electrode (not shown) (being commonly referred to array (array) substrate).Two substrates 102 and 104 front are toward each other.Liquid crystal layer 106 is located between first substrate, 102 fronts and second substrate, 104 fronts to constitute liquid crystal cell 101.Herein, liquid crystal mode can be twisted nematic (twisted nematic, TN), vertically to row (verticalalignment, VA), switch (in-plane switching in the face, ICP), optical compensation curved (opticallycompensated bend, OCB), and other available liquid crystal mode to show.
Polaroid 108 is arranged at first substrate 102 On the back sideAnd it is relative with liquid crystal layer 106.Then, a compensation film for angular field of view 109 (being shown as the state of setting in present embodiment) is set on polaroid 108 optionally, makes it relative with first substrate 102.Light supply apparatus 110 be arranged on polaroid 108 or the compensation film for angular field of view 109 (present embodiment is shown as the state that is disposed on the compensation film for angular field of view 109) and relative with first substrate 102 equally (promptly, polaroid 108, compensation film for angular field of view 109, light supply apparatus 110 are arranged at the dorsal part of first substrate 102 in regular turn), it provides a light to see through the usefulness of liquid crystal layer 106 for display image via polaroid 108.
Blooming 112 is arranged on the back side of second substrate 104 and is relative with liquid crystal layer 106.Herein, blooming 112 has the function with light partial reflection and part transmission, for example pellicle beamsplitter (beamsplitter) or brightness enhancement film.Moreover a polaroid 114 is arranged on the blooming 112, and it is relative with second substrate 104.In addition, one compensation film for angular field of view 115 (being shown as the state of setting in present embodiment) optionally is set on polaroid 114, and it is 104 relative with second substrate (that is, blooming 112, polaroid 114, and compensation film for angular field of view 115 be arranged at the dorsal part of second substrate 104 in regular turn).Perhaps, this compensation film for angular field of view 115 (not shown)s optionally are set between the blooming 112 and second substrate 104.
Again, when above-mentioned blooming 112 is a brightness enhancement film, for with the light recycling promoting display brightness, major technique can be divided into retro-reflection formula (retroreflective) and two kinds of cholesterol liquid crystals reflective (cholesteric liquid crystal-based reflective).The polarisation kenel that the former mainly handles is P and S line style polarisation, and the latter then handles left-handed and the dextrorotation rotatory polarization.
" DBEF " (the dual brightness enhancement film) that is made by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company is utilization retro-reflection formula technology, and this kind optical brightening membrane tolerable P line style polarizing transmission also reflects S line style polarisation.The S line style polarisation of reflection is got back to can change into behind the light supply apparatus again and is contained P and S line style polarisation, makes the brightness lifting with the effect that reaches the light recycling.In addition, be the reflective technology of utilization cholesterol liquid crystal by " NIPOCS " of Japan's day eastern electrician's manufacturing, the 50% dextrorotation rotatory polarization transmission of this kind optical brightening membrane tolerable is also reflected 50% left-handed rotatory polarization, to reach the effect of similar DBEF brightness enhancement film.
In the present embodiment, utilize blooming to can be the practice of pellicle beamsplitter or brightness enhancement film, utilize the partial reflection of this pellicle beamsplitter or brightness enhancement film and the characteristic of part transmitted light, it is arranged on second substrate 104.When the light of light supply apparatus 110 when viewing angle compensation film 109 sees through polaroid 108 and liquid crystal cell 101, utilize blooming 112 as the reflection horizon, part light reflexed to as the light supply apparatus 110 and the transmission of preceding light go out, make substrate 102 sides of winning be in reflective-mode and show.That is the observer can obtain image information by the reflected light 110a from blooming 112 reflections, as shown in Figure 1a.On the other hand, when the light of light supply apparatus 110 when viewing angle compensation film 109 sees through polaroid 108 and liquid crystal cell 101, blooming 112 also can be used as a transmission layer and with part light from as light supply apparatus backlight 110 transmissions go out, make second substrate, 104 sides be in transmission mode and show.That is the observer can obtain image information by the transmitted light 110b that sees through from blooming 112, shown in Fig. 1 b.Thus, liquid crystal indicator 100 according to the present invention can reach the purpose of double-sided display.
Control device 116 is coupled between first substrate 102 and second substrate 104, in order to the image sequential processing of control double-sided display, makes the observer obtain correct image information at different inspection surfaces.
According to the lCD with dual-side displaying of present embodiment, owing to can utilize a blooming to reach the purpose of reflection and transmission mode demonstration as reflection horizon and transmission layer, so only need single liquid crystal cell just can realize the purpose of double-sided display.Compared to known two independent display panels frameworks, also possessed advantages such as lightening, low power consumption and be applicable to very much the mobile electronic product.Moreover, because the lCD with dual-side displaying of present embodiment has the display mode of reflection and transmission, so need not, must dwindle liquid crystal indicator double-edged viewing area size or increase the size of liquid crystal indicator as the two-sided display liquid crystal display device of known single display panels framework.
Second embodiment
LCD with dual-side displaying below in conjunction with Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b explanation second embodiment of the invention.
With reference to Fig. 2 a, it represents lCD with dual-side displaying.This liquid crystal indicator 200 comprises: a liquid crystal cell 201, first and second polaroid 208 and 212, first and second back lighting device 210 and 214, an and control device 216.Liquid crystal cell 201 comprises one first substrate 202, one second substrate 204, reaches a liquid crystal layer 206.First and second substrate 202 and 204 is transparency carriers, for example glass or quartz base plate, and two substrates is parallel is oppositely arranged.Generally speaking, first and second substrate 202 and 204 both substrate front side wherein are provided with optical filter (color filter, CF) (be commonly referred to filter sheet base plate), and the front of another substrate is formed with a plurality of transistor (not shown) and corresponding pixel electrode (not shown) (being commonly referred to array (array) substrate).Two substrates 102 and 104 front are toward each other.Liquid crystal layer 206 is located between first substrate 202 and second substrate 204 to constitute liquid crystal cell 201.Herein, liquid crystal mode can be TN, VA, ICP, OCB, reaches other available liquid crystal mode to show.
