Because lcd technology is to utilize the media of liquid crystal as the control light condition, to reach a kind of technology of display effect.And along with the progress of science and technology with information, human demand to rich colors, it is indispensable more and more to seem, in order to show the abundant colors message, colored filter (ColorFilter) is used on the colour liquid crystal display device widely, no matter be the STN of passive-matrix or the TFT LCD of active-matrix, the mainstream technology of color monitor all is to use colored filter to produce shades of colour.Colored filter is that the block of cells by many red green blue tricolors rearranges basically, as the color lump 28 of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, though inessential, with black surround lattice 29 color lump 28 is separated, improves contrast sometimes; Colored filter is to produce the color of wanting by absorbing undesired wavelength: red block absorbs other wavelength, only allows red light penetrate; Green block absorbs other wavelength, only allows green light penetrate; Blue block absorbs other wavelength, only allows blue light penetrate.Each little color lump 28 is controlled penetrance by an exclusive liquid crystal picture element: penetrance is higher, and the contribution of this primary colors is just stronger; By the various combination of strength of red green blue tricolor, the additivity colour mixture effect by eyes just makes us see versicolor demonstration.The arrangement of little color lump generally has vertical bar shape (stripe is as the computer LCD) and two kinds of mosaics (mosaic claims delta to arrange again, as the LCD of digital camera); Traditionally, we are called a picture element with one group of red green blue tricolor when the vertical bar shape is arranged, and each little color lump is called color dot (color dot).
Because half penetrated LCD is with the readability power saving and sunlight under (sun lightreadable), so the status of steady main flow display technique according to the portable electronic product.Semi-penetration color LCD has two kinds of mode of operations: penetrate pattern and reflective-mode.The pattern that penetrates is in order to cooperate the optical design of reflective-mode, and necessary using compensation sheet is in addition similar to the principle of general penetrating LCD below semi-reflective layer; Certainly, its penetrance can be subjected to the influence of semi-reflective layer and reduce; Under reflective-mode, light through first polaroid and compensating plate after, pass liquid crystal layer, after passing through the color lump of colored filter again, part light is reflected by semi-reflective layer, reflected light ray is through same colorized optical filtering moon color lump, liquid crystal layer, compensating plate, at last via first polaroid selection effect, have only the light of part to penetrate, its penetrance equally still by voltage, via the change of liquid crystal molecule direction, reach the Presentation Function of control light and shade, though optic design has difference, ultimate principle still is the same.
Under reflective-mode, because the absorption of colored filter, reflectivity very low (service efficiency of light is very low) in order to improve the reflectivity of display, must improve the penetrance of colored filter.And the method that improves the colored filter penetrance is exactly the absorption that reduces the wavelength of not wanting originally to penetrate, and so excitation will reduce.In other words, in order to improve the reflectivity of display, must painstakingly reduce the excitation of colored filter.The excitation of colored filter has reduced, and the excitation of semi-penetration color LCD has also just reduced certainly, and especially bad, because under reflective-mode, light is through colored filter twice, and excitation is also barely satisfactory; But under the pattern of penetrating, light only passes through colored filter once, and excitation is just poorer.
Half penetrated colour liquid crystal display device, known techniques promptly is to get a compromise equilibrium point between the reflectivity of reflective-mode and excitation, often sacrifice excitation and yield to reflectivity, the result is that the excitation of reflective-mode can be accepted reluctantly, sacrificing maximum is excitation under the pattern of penetrating, can't break through.The present invention promptly at above-mentioned disappearance, proposes a kind of semi-penetration color LCD that can take into account high reflectance simultaneously and penetrate the display effect of the high color purity under the pattern.
The present invention continues to use the mechanism's framework and the liquid crystal optics design of colour liquid crystal display device now, the place of innovation is the spectrum that penetrates of the composition spectrum of (1) back light and (2) colored filter, and any use is backlight all applicatory with colour liquid crystal display device colored filter.
Release clearly for finding the solution, below use more concrete example explanation.
(1) the narrow frequency combined light source of the composition spectrum-one of back light
Between 400 to 750nm, known white backlight light source is made even distribution with spectrum to wavelength of visible light with all exhausting one's ability greatly.The excitation of narrow conversely speaking, frequency light source but is the highest; Except that the purple district, the border of entire I CE color coordinate is exactly by the defined limit of pure color of single-frequency light source.Back light used in the present invention is made up of several narrow frequency light sources exactly, and for example: the excitation of common LCD has been quite high, and the present invention selects red, green, blue three LEDs for use, adjusts suitable relative intensity and forms white light source (joining shown in Figure 3).Such light source is mixed colored filter now, and effect is not remarkable in fact; Because only be so, and can't allow any one monochromatic source that the chance that manifests is separately arranged.
(2) spectrum-one that penetrates of colored filter contains the colored filter that narrow frequency absorbs
For making any one monochromatic source that the chance that manifests separately all be arranged, the penetrating spectrum and must cooperate modification of colored filter.Light source with red, green, blue three LEDs is an example, and when desire shows when pure red, LCD will block by blue light with green color lump, and only the LCD picture element corresponding to red color lump penetrates.But when the ruddiness that problem is the red color lump of colored filter allows 95% red LED passes through, also green green glow and blue light with blue led there is about 30% penetrance.Yet this measure will make the ruddiness of very pure red LED watered down by green glow and blue light, and among the present invention, because watering down the green glow and the blue light of ruddiness is two narrow frequency light sources, so as long as revise the spectrum of the red color lump of colored filter, make its wavelength strengthen absorbing, as penetrance is reduced to below 5% at green glow and blue-ray LED.Because what use among the present invention is narrow frequency light source, only specific wavelength is absorbed, also only need do narrow frequency and absorb at specific wavelength.Narrow frequency is absorbed in the absorption band that causes nick shaped on the spectrum that penetrates of colored filter, and to the penetrance of colored filter integral body, influence is little, in other words, penetrates excitation under the pattern when significantly promoting, and can also keep the high reflectance under the reflective-mode.
Above describedly only illustrate with regard to red spectrum, can analogize according to this:,, make its wavelength strengthen absorption at ruddiness and blue-ray LED so must revise the spectrum of the green color lump of colored filter in order to want to show highly purified green.In like manner, in order to want to show highly purified blueness,, make its wavelength strengthen absorbing at ruddiness and green light LED so must revise the spectrum of the blue color lump of colored filter.
With embodiment more specifically, in Fig. 3, the wavelength of red, green, blue three LEDs used in the present invention is respectively 470,525,615nm, all is common LED wavelength.As for the part of colored filter, also the spectrum that penetrates with existing colored filter is starting point, and for convenience of description, we only do necessary modifications.The dotted line of Fig. 4 A be the red color lump of known techniques penetrate spectrum 61, the present invention will penetrate one modification of spectrum do makes red color lump add the strong selectivity absorption to green with blue led, penetrating spectrum becomes shown in the solid line 62 of Fig. 4 A, penetrate spectrum and be nick shaped 71,72 with blueness green, the wavelength valley falls within 470 and 525nm respectively, the wavelength peak of just colored and blue led luminescent spectrum.In fact, the valley of absorption does not need just to drop on the peak value of LED, as long as can strengthen absorbing with blue led to green, just can obtain to strengthen the effect of red excitation.
In like manner, the dotted line of Fig. 4 B be the green color lump of known techniques penetrate spectrum 63, the present invention will penetrate one modification of spectrum do makes green color lump add the strong selectivity absorption to red with blue led, penetrate spectrum for shown in the solid line 64 of Fig. 4 B, penetrate spectrum and be nick shaped 73,74 with redness blue, the wavelength valley falls within 470 and 615nm respectively, the wavelength peak of just blue and red LED luminescent spectrum.Certainly, the valley of absorption does not need just to drop on the peak value of LED, as long as can strengthen absorbing with red LED to blue, just can obtain to strengthen the effect of green excitation.The dotted line of Fig. 4 C be the blue color lump of known techniques penetrate spectrum 65, the present invention will penetrate one modification of spectrum do makes blue color lump add the strong selectivity absorption to red with green LED, penetrate spectrum for shown in the solid line 66 of Fig. 4 C, penetrate spectrum and be nick shaped 75,76 with redness green, the wavelength valley falls within 525 and 615nm respectively, the wavelength peak of just green and red LED luminescent spectrum.Same, the valley of absorption does not need just to drop on the peak value of LED, as long as can strengthen absorbing with green LED to red, just can obtain to strengthen the effect of blue excitation.
The broken line triangle 82 of Fig. 5 is the chromaticity coordinates synoptic diagram of the invention described above colored filter under the D65 standard sources, the solid line triangle 81 of Fig. 5 is the back light chromaticity coordinates synoptic diagram afterwards that same colored filter cooperates above-mentioned red, green, blue three LEDs, can know thus and find out that the present invention strengthens the effect of excitation.In addition, the spectrum of colored filter in the foregoing description is starting point with the spectrum that penetrates of existing colored filter, and for convenience of description, the present invention only does necessary modifications; In fact colored filter can also remake more modifications, reaches more significant effect.In particular, the present invention can keep absorbing under the condition of breach, increase the average penetration rate of each color lump, its effect is to improve the penetrance of colored filter, also can dwindle simultaneously the scope of broken line triangle, the inner feelings of selecting of penetrance that this is just known and excitation is compromised, if use known techniques, excitation under the pattern of penetrating has also just been reduced by compromise, but the present invention but can keep the leg-of-mutton scope of solid line constant.
In other words, the present invention can be with the chromaticity coordinates and the chromaticity coordinates independent design that penetrates under the pattern of colored filter itself.Penetrate the design of the chromaticity coordinates under the pattern, narrow frequency light source and colored filter penetrate breach and decide; The design of the chromaticity coordinates under the reflective-mode, be to compromise and decide, penetrate breach because be that selectivity to narrow frequency light source absorbs, the chromaticity coordinates and the penetrance of integral body by the inner feelings of selecting of the chromaticity coordinates of colored filter itself and penetrance, influence very for a short time, can not cause real restriction.Fundamental purpose of the present invention is exactly significantly to improve the penetrance of colored filter, to improve the reflectivity of reflective-mode, cooperates narrow frequency light source to penetrate breach simultaneously, can significantly improve the excitation (just enlarging the chromaticity coordinates scope) of the pattern of penetrating.
Therefore, semi-penetration color LCD proposed by the invention, it is under the situation of the display effect of keeping high reflectance, also the effect that obtains under the backlight mode than high color density can used, to obtain a kind of half-penetration type colour liquid crystal display device that has high brightness and high color density simultaneously, make it all can reach preferable color display effect in reflective-mode and backlight mode following.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limiting scope of the present invention, anyly has the knack of this skill person, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can doing a little change and retouching, so protection scope of the present invention is when looking being as the criterion that the claim scope defined.
