On color filter 122, form the electrode 123 that the transparent conductive body by ITO etc. constitutes, on this electrode 123, form and above-mentioned same alignment films 124.Under the situation of present embodiment, because be adopted as the TFT110X of 3 terminal on-off elements (nonlinear element), so above-mentioned electrode 117 is that electrode 123 is (preferably the spreading all over device integral body) common electrodes that spread all over a plurality of sub-pixels (and a plurality of pixels) by every sub-pixel pixel electrode independently all.But, adopting 2 terminal on-off elements (nonlinear element) to replace under the situation of TFT110X, the electrode 123 of subtend is as extending on the direction of intersecting with data line 113, being arranged in the band electrode of multi-ribbon shape and constituting on the extending direction of data line 113.
Liquid crystal layer 130 is to have adopted the TN pattern of nematic liquid crystal etc. or the liquid crystal layer of STN pattern, can constitute like that every sub-pixel control light transmission with polarization plates 141,142 actings in conjunction in the outside that is disposed at matrix 110 and matrix 120.Under the situation of present embodiment, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 130 among the light transmission region At, set than the thickness thick (for example about 2 times) of the liquid crystal layer among the reflection region Ar 130, thus, the degree of light modulation of the liquid crystal layer 130 in the transmission that has utilized light transmission region At shows, and utilized between the degree of light modulation of the reflection of the reflection region Ar liquid crystal layer 130 in showing and can not make it to produce than big-difference.
Also have, though the thickness of the liquid crystal layer of guaranteeing among the light transmission region At by having or not of interlayer dielectric 112,115 130 in the present embodiment, poor with the thickness of liquid crystal layer 130 among the reflection region Ar, but also can be for example, on color filter 122, form dielectric film, guarantee thickness poor of the light transmission region At of liquid crystal layer 130 and reflection region Ar by having or not of this dielectric film.
In the present embodiment, at the pixel shown in Fig. 1 (Pixel) Px, the base unit for the least unit that constitutes display image has the flat shape of rectangle, and is made of four sub pixel Dxr, Dxg, Dxc, Dxb.So-called sub-pixel in this instructions for controlling the minimum control unit of light transmission independently of each other, is gathered a plurality of these sub-pixels and is constituted above-mentioned pixel (Pixel) Px.Thereby the number of sub-pixels that constitutes pixel Px generally is not limited to 4.But the number of sub-pixels that constitutes pixel Px under the situation of present embodiment is more than or equal to 4 count arbitrarily.In addition, " painted areas " among the present invention is each zone that is provided with dyed layer 122ar, 122at, corresponding to each sub-pixel Dxr, Dxg, Dxc, Dxb, with 1 pixel Px of painted areas formation of 4 looks.
At the cross-section structure of the sub-pixel shown in above-mentioned Fig. 2, represent among the four above-mentioned sub pixels structure of three sub pixel Dxr, Dxg, Dxb, look R (red), the G (green) of the former colour system of corresponding three looks, the dyed layer of B (indigo plant).In the structure of these three sub pixels, as above-mentioned ground light transmission region At and reflection region Ar are set respectively, at regional At, the Ar of three kinds of each sub-pixels, the point of dyed layer 122at, 122ar that disposes R (red), G (green), B (indigo plant) respectively is identical.In addition, in these three sub pixels Dxr, Dxg, Dxb, the area ratio of light transmission region At and reflection region Ar becomes roughly the same.
In above-mentioned three sub pixel Dxr, Dxg, Dxb, whole property ground forms dyed layer 122at in light transmission region At.That is, the light transmission region At of three kinds of each sub-pixels all covers whole by the dyed layer of former colour system R (red), G (green), B (indigo plant).On the other hand, in reflection region Ar, under the situation of illustrated example, only optionally form dyed layer 122ar in this regional part.That is, be provided with 116 not painted and catoptrical non-staining zones, reflection horizon at reflection region Ar.In addition, the occupied area of the dyed layer 122ar in the reflection region Ar has different values than being configured by every pixel Dxr, Dxg, Dxb.But, also can be at least one of the reflection region Ar of these three sub pixels whole property ground cover and form dyed layer 122ar.
On the other hand, sub-pixel Dxc, different with above-mentioned three sub pixel Dxr, Dxg, Dxb, substantially only constituted by light transmission region At and sub-pixel be shaped as essentially rectangular.That is, the Zone Full that the sub-pixel in reflection horizon 116 is not set in sub-pixel Dxc constitutes as light transmission region.And this light transmission region At has the roughly the same area of light transmission region At of three sub pixels with other.That is, the sub-pixel Dxc of present embodiment has the flat shape of the reflection region Ar of the three sub pixel Dxr that removed other, Dxg, Dxb.At the light transmission region At of sub-pixel Dxc, formation is the dark green dyed layer 122at of the look of complementary color system.
Among the pixel Px of planar rectangular, the light transmission region At of above-mentioned four sub pixels is arranged in row at the avris of pixel Px along a direction (diagram left and right directions), constitutes regional transmission file part thus.And, the diagram below of this regional transmission file part, promptly, with the aforementioned limit subtend of pixel Px to avris, reflection region Ar with above-mentioned three sub pixel Dxr, Dxg, Dxb is cut apart, a direction, a limit (diagram left and right directions) along pixel Px are arranged in row, constitute reflector space file part thus.Thereby,, disposing the light transmission region that is split into 4 corresponding to the zone of the dyed layer of R (red), G (green), B (indigo plant), C (viridescent) at the avris of pixel Px; And the aforementioned limit of pixel Px to avris, disposing the reflection region that is split into 3 corresponding to the zone of the dyed layer of R (red), G (green), B (indigo plant), each sub-pixel Dxr, the Dxg, Dxc, the Dxb shape that constitute pixel Px are different respectively.Regional transmission file part and reflector space file part are as zone divided into two parts and disposing about the diagram side by side in pixel Px.And regional transmission file part and reflector space file part look up and have equal length (illustrating the same length of read fortune on the left and right directions) arranging each regional area arrangement side.
In regional transmission file part, the length of area arrangement direction is divided into four parts and constitutes four light transmission region At.That is, four light transmission region At have same widths mutually on the area arrangement direction.And in reflector space file part, the length of area arrangement direction is divided into three parts and constitutes three reflection regions.That is, three reflection regions have same widths mutually on the area arrangement direction.
Also have, in the present embodiment, TFT110X at driven element pixel Dxc, the connection electrode 114 ' that conduction is connected in the cloth wire of semiconductor layer 102, the below by the reflection horizon 116 among the reflection region Ar of sub-pixel Dxg or Dxb is set, this connection electrode 114 ' is conducted electricity in the electrode 117 of sub-pixel Dxc and sub-pixel Dxc and is connected.
Fig. 5 is the spectrophotometric spectra of coloured material of each dyed layer 122at, 122ar that is used for the color filter 122 of present embodiment.Among the figure, represent the optical transmission characteristics of red dyed layer, represent the optical transmission characteristics of green dyed layer, represent the optical transmission characteristics of blue dyed layer, represent the optical transmission characteristics of dark green dyed layer with C with B with G with R.
And, Fig. 6, but be the xy chromatic diagram of the look reproduction range realized by the color filter 122 that is used for present embodiment of expression.In the drawings, R, G, B, C are illustrated respectively in the tone of the dyed layer of all kinds shown in Fig. 5.And, the R ' among the figure, G ', B ', expression is as the suitable tone of dyed layer that is disposed at the red, green, blue of reflection region Ar; G among the figure ", expression is as the suitable tone of green dyed layer that is disposed at light transmission region At.And, the scope of surrounding the tone that the curve representation mankind of above-mentioned each point can feel.
Have a look this chromatic diagram, because with respect to R ', G ', B ' area as the color triangle on summit, the tetragonal area of the look that R, G, B, C were enclosed with present embodiment is bigger, so as can be known: the color reproduction scope that the transmission of present embodiment shows is wideer than the color reproduction scope that reflection shows.And, as can be known, constituting under the situation of carrying out the transmission demonstration with existing trichromatic color filter, though as R ', G ", have wide to a certain degree color reproduction scope shown in the color triangle of B ', the color reproduction scope that is obtained by R, G, B, the C of present embodiment can be for equating with it or being the wide region greater than it.
In the present embodiment, not only in transmission shows, can realize wide color reproduction scope, but also can realize that bright reflection shows with the dyed layer of three looks of the R, the G that are disposed at reflection region Ar, B with the dyed layer of four looks of the R, the G that are disposed at light transmission region At, B, C.Promptly, even reducing under the situation of the formation that realizes that bright reflection shows for the chroma that is suitable for use in three looks that make basic R, G, B, also because in transmission shows so that above-mentioned three looks have been added four looks of C and can show colour, so can suppress the reduction of the color reproduction that transmission shows.In addition, under this situation, because needn't change the dyed layer 122at that is disposed at light transmission region At and reflection region Ar and the chroma of 122ar, so can reduce the worker ordinal number of color filter, needn't make manufacturing process complicated so have, also can suppress the advantage of the rising of manufacturing cost.
The dyed layer 122at of sub-pixel Dxc also can adopt the coloured material of other colors except that above-mentioned viridescent and forms.But, preferred: as to have by being added to the three basic looks of red, green, blue, and make the tone of color reproduction expanded range.Preferably: for example, have the tone of on chromatic diagram, separating fully with other three looks, and, have high to a certain degree chroma, that is, have the tone in the outside that on chromatic diagram, is positioned at by other three looks formed color triangle.Most preferably be the color of complementary color system as such look, for example, dark green, aubergine or yellow etc.
In addition, though a sub-pixel Dxc only is set in the present embodiment, also a plurality of sub-pixels that append can be set beyond three sub pixels in pixel Px beyond three sub pixels.For example, also can be in pixel Px, setting has the sub-pixel Dxc of dark green dyed layer and has the sub-pixel of two kinds of the sub-pixel Dxm of mauve dyed layer (not shown go out), and these sub-pixels are similarly constituted with the sub-pixel Dxc of above-mentioned embodiment respectively.Becoming a pixel Px thus constitutes by five sub pixels.
Also have, in the present embodiment, by side by side form the dyed layer 122at that is disposed at light transmission region At with same material, suppress the rising of manufacturing cost with the dyed layer 122ar that is disposed at reflection region Ar, and in order to improve the color reproduction that transmission shows more, and, guarantee to reflect the brightness of demonstration more fully, and one side covers and disposes chroma than higher dyed layer on whole property ground of light transmission region At, disposes identical dyed layer on reflection region Ar part ground (optionally) on the other hand.That is, the zone that does not dispose dyed layer and expose reflection horizon 116 is set at reflection region Ar.Thus, even it is a lot of that the chroma of dyed layer itself is reduced, also can obtain and make the same effect of situation of the chroma reduction of dyed layer 122ar in reflection region Ar integral body.But, also can at least a sub-pixel among these three sub pixels, form dyed layer 122ar on whole property ground of reflection region Ar.
And, because the whole light transmission region of present embodiment to each other, reflection region has separately area identical mutually to each other, so can show and reflection shows easily carries out the colored control that shows in separately in transmission.And,,, can suppress the reduction of display resolution therefrom so can suppress the Magnification of the area of pixel Px because light transmission region At only is set at sub-pixel Dxc.
And then, in present embodiment, because dispose the regional transmission file part of light transmission region At of the dyed layer 122at of four looks, on the area arrangement direction, has equal length with the reflector space file part of the reflection region Ar that disposes tricolored dyed layer 122ar, so can make pixel Px is simple plane shapes such as rectangle, thus, be easy to make pixel Px seamlessly to arrange.And, because in the length range of same area orientation, partly dispose the zone of four looks in the regional transmission file, partly dispose the zone of three looks in the reflector space file, so it is bigger than the mean value of the width of the area arrangement direction of light transmission region At that the mean value of the width of the area arrangement direction of each reflection region Ar becomes, so the advantage that the area of reflection region is increased.
In addition, in present embodiment, as above-mentioned ground, as shared look, and the viridescent that adopts complementary color system is as only being set in the look of transmission in showing at transmission shows and former colour system is adopted in reflection in showing three looks of red, green, blue, thus, though especially, can broadening the color reproduction of hue regions of green system, in this case, obtain greatly by poor (distance on the chromatic diagram) with green and dark green spectrum colour, can improve color reproduction more.For example, in Fig. 6, with the tone point G of green look as than existing look G ', G " leave the tone of dark green tone point C, thus, set to such an extent that can increase the area of color triangle, the color reproduction scope is further increased.
More than, though for the painted areas of sub-pixel Dxr, Dxg, Dxb corresponds respectively to R (red), G (green), B (indigo plant), the painted areas of sub-pixel Dxc is corresponding to the example of C (viridescent), but the present invention is not the meaning that is defined in such formation, also can be following formation.
Promptly, can be the painted areas of 4 looks, by corresponding to wavelength and visible-range that tone changes (among 380~780nm), the painted areas of the painted areas of the tone of blue system, the tone of red colour system and among the tone from indigo plant to the Huang painted areas of selected 2 kinds of tones constitute.Though be adopted as colour system at this,, comprise royal purple and bluish-green etc. if for example blue system is not limited to the tone of pure indigo plant.If the tone of red colour system is not limited to red and comprises orange.And these painted areas both can constitute with single dyed layer, also can the dyed layer of a plurality of different tones is overlapping and constitute.
In addition, though describe these painted areas with tone, this tone can the appropriate change chroma, lightness, and setpoint color.The scope of concrete tone is: the painted areas of the tone of blue system, from royal purple to bluish-green, more preferably from dark blue to indigo plant.The painted areas of the tone of red colour system, from orange to red.A selected side's painted areas in the tone from indigo plant to the Huang, from indigo plant to green, more preferably from bluish-green to green.Selected the opposing party's painted areas in the tone from indigo plant to the Huang, from green to orange, more preferably from green to Huang.Perhaps from green to yellowish green.
At this, each painted areas is not the employing same hue.For example, adopt in the selected 2 kinds painted areas of the tone from indigo plant to the Huang under the situation of the green tone that is, the opposing party is with respect to green tone that adopts blue system or yellowish green colour system of the side.Thus, can realize color reproduction than the painted areas wide region of existing RGB.
If this is applied to above-mentioned embodiment, for example, can be following formation: the painted areas that disposes the tone of red colour system respectively at sub-pixel Dxr, painted areas at the blue tone that is of sub-pixel Dxb configuration, in the painted areas of the tone of sub-pixel Dxg configuration, in the painted areas of sub-pixel Dxc configuration from indigo plant to green tone from green to orange.Though the tone of sub-pixel Dxg and sub-pixel Dxc also can be for above-mentioned opposite, but colour balance as if the demonstration of considering to obtain by reflection region Ar, with the scope of the color reproduction of the demonstration that obtains by light transmission region At, then the tone of preferred sub-pixel Dxc from indigo plant to green.
