[first embodiment]
Fig. 2 A illustrates the cut-open view according to the multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel of the present invention's first preferred embodiment, and Fig. 2 B illustrates the vertical view of the active component array base board of Fig. 2 A.Please also refer to Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B, multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel 10 comprises an active component array base board 100, a subtend substrate 300 and a liquid crystal layer 200, and wherein liquid crystal layer 200 is disposed between active component array base board 100 and the subtend substrate 300.
Active component array base board 100 can be thin-film transistor array base-plate (thin flim transistorarray substrate), diode array substrate or other active component array base boards, and subtend substrate 300 can be a colored optical filtering substrates (color filter substrate) for example.Yet, active component array base board 100 also can be COA (Color Filter On Array) substrate, and subtend substrate 300 is one to have substrate on the common electrode, wherein COA (Color Filter On Array) substrate is meant thin-film transistor array base-plate (Color Filter On Array, structure COA) that is formed with color filter film.
Active component array base board 100 comprises that a substrate 110, many scan distribution 120, many data wirings 130, many control distributions 140 and a plurality of picture elements unit 150, and these scan distribution 120, data wiring 130, control distribution 140 and are positioned on the substrate 110 with picture element unit 150.In addition, each picture element unit 150 is controlled by scan distribution 120, data wiring 130 and the control distribution 140 of correspondence.
More specifically, each picture element unit 150 comprises that an active member 152, a field cut apart an electrode 154 and a pixel electrode 156, and wherein active member 152 electrically connects with data wiring 130 with the corresponding distribution 120 that scans.In the present embodiment, active member 152 is a thin film transistor (TFT), has the active member of three terminals yet active member 152 also can be diode or other.In addition, electrode 154 is cut apart in the field and corresponding control distribution 140 electrically connects, and relevant for the function that electrode 154 is cut apart in the field will describe as after.In the present embodiment, electrode 154 is cut apart in the field can be divided into that electrode 154a is cut apart in first field and electrode 154b is cut apart in second field, and electrode 154a is cut apart in dielectric layer 160 coverings first field and electrode 154b is cut apart in second field, and pixel electrode 156 is disposed on the dielectric layer 160.Pixel electrode 156 is electrically connected to active member 152, and pixel electrode 156 has a plurality of slit 156a, and first field is cut apart electrode 154a and is positioned at slit 156a below.
Subtend substrate 300 comprises a substrate 310 and has altogether with electrode layer 320 that wherein common electrode layer 320 is disposed on the substrate 310, and towards this active component array base board 100.In addition, common electrode layer 320 has a plurality of slit 320a, and the slit 320a of the small part that arrives is positioned at first field and cuts apart electrode 154a top.
What deserves to be mentioned is that pixel electrode also can have a plurality of slit 156b, and slit 156b is between two slit 156a.In addition, electrode 154b is cut apart in second field, and it is positioned at part slit 156b below, and slit 156b does not correspond to any slit 320a (shown in the right side of Fig. 2 A).Yet part slit 156b below can not have any field to cut apart electrode 154b (shown in the left side of Fig. 2 A) yet.Because the type of drive of the multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel 10 of present embodiment has many kinds of kenels, for instance, can be some inversion driving (dot inversion driving) to reach lower crosstalk effect or a pulsed drive (impulse type driving) is to obtain preferable dynamic display effect.To be that example describes below with an inversion driving.
The liquid crystal molecule that Fig. 3 A illustrates the multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel of the present invention's first preferred embodiment produces the synoptic diagram of pre-dumping, and Fig. 3 B illustrates the drive waveforms sequential chart of the some inversion driving of the multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel that is used for the present invention's first preferred embodiment.Please refer to Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, driving method comprises cuts apart electrode 154 with a control voltage field of inputing to, so that the liquid crystal molecule 210 of liquid crystal layer 200 produces pre-dumping (as shown in Figure 3A).In addition, control voltage can be to continue an image time to reach more stable operator scheme.In addition, the voltage that control voltage and common electrode layer 320 are had is to keep a voltage difference, and the absolute value of the common electrode pressure reduction of control voltage and subtend substrate 300 needs to use together greater than pixel electrode voltage the absolute value of the voltage difference of electrode voltage.
For instance, when common electrode is 6.0V, when pixel electrode voltage is 6.0V~11.5V, this moment, pixel electrode voltage was 0~5.5V with the absolute value of the voltage difference of electrode voltage together, and the absolute value of the common electrode pressure reduction of the control voltage of each picture element and subtend substrate 300 needs respectively to use together greater than each pixel electrode voltage the two the pressure reduction of absolute value of the voltage difference of electrode voltage, so the voltage of control voltage can be for example 0V or the voltage below the 0V, or the above voltage of 12V or 12V for example, maybe can be to be fixed as 16V.In like manner, when pixel electrode voltage is 0.5V~6.0V, the control voltage of each picture element and the pressure reduction absolute value of common electrode voltage need respectively greater than each pixel electrode voltage and shared pressure reduction absolute value with electrode voltage, be for example 0V or the following voltage of 0V so can set control voltage, or the above voltage of 12V or 12V for example, or can for fixing or-4V.
Briefly, when common electrode is 6.0V, and electrode voltage is when being 6.0V~11.5V, and control voltage needs the pressure reduction greater than the two, maybe can be reduced to fixing 16V.When electrode voltage was 0.5V~6.0V, the pressure reduction absolute value of control voltage and common electrode needed the absolute value greater than the pressure reduction of pixel electrode voltage and common voltage.For simplicity, can set control voltage is for example to fix-4V.Yet, present embodiment do not limit control voltage must be 16V or-4V, get final product with the absolute value of the voltage difference of electrode voltage together greater than pixel electrode voltage with the absolute value of the pressure reduction of electrode voltage together so long as meet control voltage; Therefore, can as described in above-mentioned content, be other magnitude of voltage also, and prior art person also can change the control voltage of being imported according to the design requirement of product itself.In addition, the magnitude of voltage of control electrode can be the cycle to change magnitude of voltage with an image time, and the driving time of control electrode can be finished in the time of a picture, and the above-mentioned for instance schedule time can be less than 8 * 10 -3Second.
After one schedule time, a data-signal is inputed to picture element unit 150 (shown in Fig. 2 A) at input control voltage.In addition, the schedule time is the time less than a picture, for example can be less than 16.6 * 10 -3Second or less than 1 * 10 -3Second.For example, when data-signal is inputed to picture element unit 150 in the mode of an inversion driving, to control voltage input field via control distribution 140 in regular turn and cut apart electrode 154, and the voltage that each bar control distribution 140 is had just changes magnitude of voltage after through an image time.Then, after the liquid crystal molecule 210 of liquid crystal layer 200 produces pre-dumpings, a start signal is inputed to respectively scan distribution 120 in regular turn, and according to the mode of an inversion driving data-signal is inputed in each picture element unit 150 simultaneously.At this moment, input to polarity opposite (for example positive and negative, positive and negative) respectively with the voltage of two of delegation or same row adjacent picture element unit 150.
More specifically, the voltage that common electrode layer 320 is had can be 6V, and the voltage that pixel electrode 156 has can be between 6~11.5V, drives to carry out positive polarity.Yet the voltage that pixel electrode 156 has also can be between 0.5~6V, drives to carry out negative polarity.
No matter multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel 10 is to adopt black picture (normallyblack) pattern of normality or the white picture of normality (normally white) pattern, because the field is cut apart electrode 154 and is constituted by lighttight conductive material, so the phenomenon that electrode 154 can improve light leak is cut apart in the field.In addition, compared to independent use slit, make liquid crystal molecule produce pre-dumping (pre-tilt) because electrode 154 is cut apart in the field, so multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel 10 have the short reaction time (response time).What deserves to be mentioned is that the mode that data-signal is inputed to picture element unit 150 is not limited to an inversion driving, more can use pulsed drive or other type of drive that is fit to.
Fig. 4 illustrates the drive waveforms sequential chart of the pulsed drive of the multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel that is used for the present invention's first preferred embodiment.Please refer to Fig. 2 B and Fig. 4, cut apart the type of drive of electrode 154, all fields can be cut apart electrode 154 and be electrically connected to two control distributions 140 respectively for the simplification field.This driving method is: (a) voltage is imported these two control distributions 140 respectively, and these two voltages that transmitted of control distribution 140 have nothing in common with each other.(b) after a schedule time, and this time is usually less than a normal image time, and the data-signal branch is inputed to each picture element unit 150, and this is the first part of first image time.(c) the latter half of first image time can be imported dark attitude voltage afterwards, and (among the figure not display data signal voltage) so then gets back to black picture again, (d) changes the magnitude of voltage of control voltage afterwards; So, repeat above-mentioned steps (b)~(d).This kind drives effect can allow control electrode in fixing voltage of transformation of one-period time, and this cycle can be for an image time, less than an image time or the image time more than two or two.So driving circuit is comparatively simple, also can lower process complexity simultaneously.The driving method that electrode 154 is cut apart in the field that the driving method of electrode 154 and Fig. 4 are cut apart in field that it should be noted that Fig. 3 A can be used mutually.
[second embodiment]
Fig. 5 A illustrates the cut-open view according to the multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel of the present invention's second preferred embodiment, and Fig. 5 B illustrates among Fig. 5 A, by the vertical view of liquid crystal orientation towards the subtend substrate.In this is graphic, be to be that example illustrates with two picture elements up and down.Yet under the practice situation, its scope can contain a picture element unit, a plurality of picture elements unit.Please also refer to Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B, in the multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel 20 of present embodiment, the common electrode layer 410 of subtend substrate 400 is divided into a plurality of common electrode groups 412,414 and 416, and is to be electrically insulated each other between each common electrode group 412,414 and 416.In addition, each common electrode group 412,414 and 416 can comprise a plurality of common electrodes; Yet be to be that example illustrates with two adjacent picture elements up and down only in Fig. 5 B, therefore, common electrode group 412,414 and 416 only comprises two respectively in this figure, two and a common electrode.In this embodiment, each picture element unit is corresponding three common electrode groups 412,414 and 416.Though it should be noted that the common electrode layer 410 of present embodiment is to illustrate with three common electrode groups 412,414 and 416, yet the common electrode layer 410 of present embodiment can also be divided into the common electrode group more than two or four.
In addition, because the resistance value of common electrode layer 410 is higher, so subtend substrate 400 more can comprise a plurality of lead groups 422,424 and 426, and each lead group 422,424 and 426 comprises many leads; Yet be to be that example illustrates with two adjacent picture elements up and down only in Fig. 5 B, therefore, each lead group 422,424 and 426 only has two respectively in this figure, two and a lead.And each common electrode group 412,414 and 416 covers corresponding lead group 422,424 and 426 respectively.Therefore, voltage can input to corresponding common electrode group 412,414 and 416 respectively via lead group 422,424 and 426.Below the function mode of the multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel of present embodiment will be described by pulsed drive.
Fig. 6 illustrates the drive waveforms sequential chart of the pulsed drive of the multi-field vertical assigned LCD panel that is used for the present invention's second preferred embodiment.Please also refer to Fig. 2 B, Fig. 5 A, Fig. 5 B and Fig. 6, with regard to pulsed drive, this driving method comprises the following steps.At first, electrode 154 is cut apart in a control voltage field of inputing to, so that the liquid crystal molecule 210 of liquid crystal layer 200 produces pre-dumping.In addition, control voltage can be 16V or-4V.In addition, control voltage can be to continue an image time.Wherein, the schedule time can be less than an image time, for example is less than 16.6 * 10 -3Second or less than 1 * 10 -3Second.
Then, a plurality of common voltages are inputed to corresponding common electrode group 412,414 and 416 respectively.In addition, common voltage can periodically be changed magnitude of voltage, and this cycle can be for less than an image time, image time, two image times or the image time more than two.More specifically, the magnitude of voltage of control voltage and common electrode can be the periodic magnitude of voltage of changing, and this cycle can be for an image time, less than an image time, two image times or the image time more than two.In a preferred embodiment, the magnitude of voltage of control voltage and common electrode is promptly to change magnitude of voltage behind an image time.In addition, each common electrode voltage also can be to input to corresponding common electrode group and control electrode (electrode is cut apart in the field) simultaneously with control voltage.Moreover predetermined difference input time of data-signal (pixel voltages) of control voltage, common voltage and input can be less than an image time, for example less than 16.68 * 10 -3Second or less than 1 * 10 -3Second.
In addition, control voltage and common electrode are to keep a voltage difference, and the absolute value of this voltage difference is greater than the absolute value of the voltage difference of pixel electrode and common electrode.More specifically, for the liquid crystal of making way for identical picture element zone is experienced in various degree the voltage that applies, above-mentioned common electrode is preferably has the common electrode group that is electrically insulated each other more than, and those common electrode groups are to apply different magnitudes of voltage respectively.The voltage of each common electrode group has different voltage differences with the voltage of the signal pixel electrode of infrabasal plate electrode.Its difference is preferably to be needed between between 0.1V~5V.If illustrate for instance with two groups of common electrode groups, the voltage of these two groups of common electrodes can for example be respectively 5.6V and or 6.4V; So, with respect to the magnitude of voltage A volt of identical pixel electrode, the voltage difference of these two groups of common electrode groups and this pixel electrode is respectively | 5.6-A|V and | 6.4-A|V.Therefore, both differ the voltage difference opposite sex of experiencing corresponding to the liquid crystal of these two groups of common electrode groups and are 0.8V.Perhaps, if when illustrating with three groups of common electrode groups, common electrode voltage also can for example be respectively 5.2V, 6V or 6.8V; So, with respect to the magnitude of voltage A volt of identical pixel electrode, the voltage difference of these three groups of common electrode groups and this pixel electrode is respectively | 5.2-A|V, | 6-A|V and | 6.8-A|V.Therefore, the voltage difference opposite sex of experiencing corresponding to the liquid crystal of these three groups of common electrode groups is three's common phase difference 0.8V or 1.6V.
Briefly, control voltage can be 16V or-4V, at this moment, the common electrode voltage of being arranged in pairs or groups also can be respectively 5.2V, 6V or 6.8V, so the absolute value of the voltage difference of control electrode and common electrode is 9.2V, 10V, 10.8V.In addition, pixel electrode voltage is 0.5V~6V or 6V~11.5V, and the absolute value of the voltage difference of pixel electrode and common electrode is then about 0V~6.3V.Therefore a pixel electrode forms three kinds of voltage differences altogether with the upper substrate common electrode, and is 0.8V or 1.6V corresponding to the voltage difference opposite sex that the liquid crystal of these three groups of common electrodes is experienced.Yet do not limit the voltage of difference at this, in general this difference value has reasonable effect at 0.1V~5V.What deserves to be mentioned is that when only being divided into two common electrode groups, the voltage of importing these two common electrode groups can for example be 5.6V or 6.4V.
