Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), relate in particular to a kind of multiregional vertical align type (Multi-domain Vertically Aligned, MVA) LCD.
Background technology
LCD mainly comprises a LCD unit, and to have two glass substrates opposite each other and a liquid crystal layer is located in therebetween.(Vertical Aligned, VA) the type LCD is a kind of type (mode) of using negative type liquid crystal material and vertical orientation film to vertical orientation.When no-voltage was supplied, Liquid Crystal Molecules Alignment occurred blank screen demonstration (blackdisplay) in a vertical direction because of incident ray can't penetrate this LCD unit.When supplying with a predefined voltage, Liquid Crystal Molecules Alignment occurs white screen display (white display) in a horizontal direction because of incident ray can penetrate this LCD unit.
Yet when viewing angle was not the normal to screen plane, this vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device had the problem that contrast descends or contrast is reversed (contrast reversal).This is the interactive result of liquid crystal molecule in light and the LCD unit.When light with non-perpendicular incident angle when the LCD unit, it is different from when light with the interactive mode of liquid crystal molecule and passes through LCD unit with vertical incident angle.Therefore, penetrate state (in vain) and non-ly obviously descend when penetrating contrast between the state (deceiving), thereby make these displays all can't be satisfactory in many application (for example flat-surface television screen and giant brain screen) at non-perpendicular angle at light.
The field-of-view angle of known multi-region vertical nematic LCD (viewing angle) performance can be set at a plurality of different each other directions by the orientation (orientation) with liquid crystal molecule in the pixel and improved.European patent is announced multiregional vertical align type of 0884626-A2 number announcement, and (it has a plurality of zones and adjusts members in order to improve the performance of its field-of-view angle for multi-domainvertically aligned, MVA) LCD.Typically, member is adjusted by establishing a plurality of projections (protrusion) on a plurality of slits (slit) and the common electrode at colored optical filtering substrates and realize wherein these projections and slit arrangement interlaced with each other establishing on the pixel electrode of thin film transistor base plate in this zone.And the orientation of the arrangement of liquid crystal molecule is determined by the limit field effect (fringe field) of projection (protrusion) with pattern (pattern) generation of slit (slit).
In the driving of foregoing liquid crystal display, it must make in each pixel (pixel) pairing liquid crystal molecule rotate (rotation) by impressed voltage, and change the transmittance of each pixel by the rotation of liquid crystal molecule, so this LCD can show different brightness (brightness) for the rotation that adapts to liquid crystal molecule.
For most LCD, fixedly the time, when impressed voltage was high more, the reaction time can be fast more at initial voltage, yet, for some LCD, and not exclusively be suitable for.
For example, what delivered in SID in 2004 " DCCII:Novel Method for Fast Response inPVA Mode " promptly point out in the literary composition, with patterning vertical orientation (Patterned Vertical Alignment; PVA) be the LCD of display mode, under certain conditions, when adding a high voltage, the reaction time is slow more on the contrary.Similarly situation also occurs in the LCD of multiregional vertical align as display mode.
Fig. 9 A shows traditional multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal displays at the projection of pixel region and the arrangement plan of slit, and Fig. 9 B displayed map 9A is along the sectional view of A-A line.Please scheme with reference to 9A earlier, the pixel region 400 of LCD is to utilize a brake cable road 402 and a data line 404 to intersect and define, pixel region 400 has a thin film transistor (TFT) 406 and is connected with brake cable road 402, data line 404, and disposes a pixel electrode 408 that is connected with thin film transistor (TFT) 406.Referring again to 9B figure, the projection 410 that is disposed at pixel region 400 is respectively formed at colored filter substrate 414 and thin film transistor base plate 416 with slit 412.Wherein, the configuration of projection 410 and slit 412 makes the orientation of liquid crystal molecule and the penetrating shaft of Polarizer (not shown) up and down all be miter angle, make light the time by multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal displays, must present maximum GTG brightness, in case and liquid crystal molecule and Polarizer (not shown) up and down are still can't be the miter angle orientation time under the adjusting (regulate) of projection 410 and slit 412, promptly claim the arrangement of liquid crystal molecule to produce unusual, can't present maximum gray brightness when passing through LCD when light this moment.
The liquid crystal molecule in Figure 10 A to Figure 10 E simulation drawing 9A zone 418 is in identical observing time, (switching) arranged in the rotation that the limit field effect that produces because of the pattern (pattern) of projection (protrusion) and slit (slit) under the different impressed voltages causes, wherein the transverse axis of 10A-10E figure and the longitudinal axis correspond to A-A and the A-B direction of Fig. 9 A respectively.Shown in Figure 10 A and Figure 10 B, when impressed voltage during respectively at 5V and 5.5V, the liquid crystal molecule in zone 418 is the results that present normal alignment according to the assortment of limit field effect; Yet, shown in Figure 10 C to Figure 10 E, when impressed voltage increases to 5.75V, 6.0V and 6.5V, part liquid crystal molecule 420a, the 420b of zone in 418 is not subjected to the assortment of limit field effect and presents unusual arrangement (disclination), especially as the unusual arrangement of part liquid crystal molecule 420a, 420b as shown in Figure 10 E the most serious.
At present, causing one of unusual possible cause of multiple domain vertical liquid crystal molecules align is when projection 410 becomes big with slit 412 distances, projection 410 and slit 412 middle liquid crystal molecule 420a, 420b need expend, and the time of length just is able to the assortment along with contiguous lqiuid crystal molecule tipping (tilt), so not only make the reaction time of liquid crystal molecule increase, add a little less than the liquid crystal molecule suffered limit field effect of projection 410 and slit 412 centres, and the vertical electric field that applies may make the multiple domain vertical liquid crystal with under the situation that direction is toppled over arbitrarily, make toppling direction uncontrolled, and cause unusual arrangement.
In addition, the unusual origin cause of formation of arranging also may apply high voltage because of moment, liquid crystal molecule 420a in the middle of projection 410 and the slit 412,420b is not being subjected to contiguous toppling over of liquid crystal molecule as yet before the assortment, the vertical electric field that is applied earlier influences, liquid crystal is toppled over any direction, and be not subjected at toppling direction under the situation of limit field effect control, the unusual arrangement also thereby generation, cause shown in Figure 10 C to Figure 10 E, liquid crystal molecule 420a in the middle of projection 410 and the slit 412,420b arranges unusually, and the unusual liquid crystal molecule 420a that arranges among Figure 10 E, 420b will present dim spot (gray spot) or stain (black spot) 420a under observation by light microscope, 420b is shown in the 11st figure.
Above-mentioned ash is selected or the generation of stain is that the liquid crystal molecule of toppling over because of any direction is not due to the miter angle orientation with the penetrating shaft of polaroid up and down, the unusual liquid crystal molecule of arranging may be subjected to the influence of contiguous liquid crystal molecule subsequently and desire heavily fall (retilt) return when the polaroid penetrating shaft becomes the correct angle of miter angle up and down, then need spend the longer time, therefore cause the reaction time to increase, especially bad, when the drive of contiguous liquid crystal molecule can't make the liquid crystal molecule of unusual arrangement heavily fall, liquid crystal molecule will present grey point or stain and can't recover the brightness that this has.
Hence one can see that has a critical voltage at multi-region vertical nematic LCD when driving, when surpassing this critical voltage, impressed voltage will produce the problem that the foregoing liquid crystal molecule abnormality is arranged, can not surpass this critical voltage so in the traditional monitor design, must limit the driving bias voltage, in order to avoid cause the increase in reaction time.And in the traditional monitor design, the spacing of projection and slit also needs to avoid unusual arrangement problems less than to a certain degree, can improve critical voltage value to increase the spendable scope of driving voltage with this.But because the pitch smaller of projection and slit, cause projection set in the single pixel and slot number to increase, and projection and slit are all can not control the zone that liquid crystal carries out normal running, thereby cause the aperture opening ratio (aperture ratio) of pixel region to reduce, cause the brightness of LCD to descend.
The multi-region vertical nematic LCD that is disclosed at U.S. publication US2002/0159018, its pixel electrode has more jagged recess (jagged) at the slit place, can accelerate the reaction time of liquid crystal, though can therefore slightly increase the spacing of projection and slit, but the unusual problem of arranging of liquid crystal molecule also can't be got rid of fully, must maintain below the certain value so its spacing is still, make that the increase degree of aperture opening ratio is limited.
Summary of the invention

Aforesaid slit is preferable to be provided with a plurality of jagged recesses that are arranged in.Inventor back after deliberation finds when use aforementionedly so that the driving method of bias voltage to be provided stage by stage, and (partial) spacing that these projections and these are provided with the part between the slit of recess can be designed to 30 μ m to 50 μ m and the unusual problem of liquid crystal arrangement can not take place.
In aforesaid multi-region vertical nematic LCD, because projection and slit can be configured to have bigger spacing, therefore effectively reduce the distribution density of these projections and slit, effectively increase aperture opening ratio (aperture ratio) (also getting final product the ratio of transmission region) by this and make the brightness of LCD promote.
Each projection is preferably and is provided with a plurality of branched portions (branch), and these branched portions are located at over against the position at the edge of these pixel electrodes.Each pixel electrode is separated into a plurality of partial electrodes by these slits, and per two adjacent partial electrodes are bonded together by a connecting portion.Each connecting portion has one first part and a second portion, the bearing of trend of this first part is approximately perpendicular to the bearing of trend of these projections, the bearing of trend of this second portion is roughly parallel to these data circuits, and wherein the second portion of each connecting portion branched portion complete and this projection is overlapping.

Embodiment
Though the present invention can show as multi-form embodiment, but reaching in hereinafter illustrating shown in the accompanying drawing is embodiments of the invention, and please understand person disclosed herein for an example of the present invention, and be not that intention is in order to be limited to the present invention in diagram and/or the described specific embodiment.
The present invention is relevant for a kind of multi-region vertical nematic LCD, it mainly comprises first substrate and second substrate of handling through vertical orientation, a liquid crystal layer is located between this first and second substrate, and is located at first member and second member on this first substrate and second substrate respectively.The liquid crystal molecule that this liquid crystal layer comprised is not roughly having the main surface that is approximately perpendicular to this first substrate when electric field puts on this liquid crystal layer.This first member and second member make that in order to the orientation (orientation) of adjusting liquid crystal molecule in this liquid crystal layer this liquid crystal molecule is tilted orientation and makes this orientation comprise a plurality of directions when voltage applies.Therefore, according to the performance of the field-of-view angle of multi-region vertical nematic LCD of the present invention, can be set at a plurality of different each other directions by orientation (orientation) and improved liquid crystal molecule in the pixel.
LCD of the present invention for example is a kind of Thin Film Transistor-LCD (Thin filmtransistor 1iquid crystal display; TFT LCD).With reference to Fig. 8, first substrate 102 can be provided with a light and cover for example light shield layer (BM) (not being shown among Fig. 8) of array; A plurality of colored filter 102a and a common electrode 102b.
Figure 1 shows that the pixel portion that is arranged on aforesaid second substrate 104 (104 do not see Fig. 1) according to an embodiment of the invention, wherein be provided with many brake cable roads parallel to each other (gate line) 106; Many data circuits parallel to each other (data line) 108, it is perpendicular to this brake cable road 106; And a plurality of thin film transistor (TFT)s 109 and pixel electrode 120.This thin film transistor (TFT) 109 and pixel electrode 120 general one-tenth matrix forms are arranged in the cross section of this brake cable road 106 and data circuit 108.Generally speaking, this first substrate 102 is because it is provided with colored filter and can be described as colored optical filtering substrates, and this second substrate 104 can be described as thin film transistor base plate.First substrate 102 and 104 of second substrates generally are provided with distance piece (spacer) (not being shown among the figure) in order to define the interval (gap) between this substrate.
Referring to Fig. 1, pixel electrode 120 is located in the pixel region that is defined by two adjacent brake cable roads, 106 and two adjacent data circuits 108.In this embodiment, aforesaid first member is for example realized by the projection 130 of a plurality of arrayed is located at this first substrate, and aforesaid second member is for example realized by the slit 140 of a plurality of arrayed is located at pixel electrode 120.Projection 130 and slit 140 are parallel to each other haply and be staggered.
Referring to Fig. 1, each slit 140 is provided with a plurality of jagged recess (jagged) 140a that are arranged in.Two adjacent projections 130 and the spacing between the slit 140 are denoted as c, and this spacing c minimum-depth a of equaling these recesses 140a adds these recesses 140a with minimum-depth and the distance b between the projection 130.When these slits 140 are not provided with these recesses 140a and use conventional ADS driving method LCD, spacing c between these projections 130 and these slits 140 needs less than 25 μ m, increases or makes display frame produce the problem of image delay (imageretention) otherwise be positioned at reaction time that neighboring projection and liquid crystal molecule in the middle of the folded zone of slit be easy to occur the unusual situation of arranging of liquid crystal molecule because the instantaneous variation (bias voltage) of driving voltage is excessive and cause pixel.
When adopting the applicant to invent the driving method that is disclosed in No. 93123879 patented claim of TaiWan, China of 8 months 20 days year in 2004 application, make the driving voltage of pixel break through the restriction of critical voltage value (initial voltage value adds critical bias) in the mode that bias voltage is provided stage by stage, and reach higher target voltage values.Specifically, aforementioned driving method provides first bias voltage less than critical bias when picture frame time t1, make original initial voltage value rise to an intermediate voltage value after adding first bias voltage.Then, when picture frame time t2, provide one second bias voltage again, make driving voltage further rise to target voltage values by intermediate voltage value.Because this driving method can be broken through the restriction of critical voltage to solve the problem that the foregoing liquid crystal molecule abnormality is arranged, thereby the spacing c between these projections 130 and these slits 140 does not need to be limited in less than 25 μ m again, (partial) spacing of part can be designed as more than or equal to 25 μ m, and the unusual problem of liquid crystal arrangement can not take place.
Because the spacing c between these projections 130 and these slits 140 can be designed as more than or equal to 25 μ m, thereby the number of the projection 130 of single pixel region and slit 140 can reduce, effectively increase aperture opening ratio by this, and the display quality of brightness is significantly promoted.
In addition, when these slits 140 are provided with these recesses 140a and LCD use conventional ADS driving method, because the reaction time is very fast, so the spacing c between these projections 130 and these slits 140 generally is designed to less than 30 μ m to avoid taking place the unusual problem of liquid crystal arrangement.Relatively, inventor back after deliberation finds when using aforementionedly so that the driving method of bias voltage to be provided stage by stage, and (partial) spacing c that these projections 130 and these are provided with between the slit 140 of recess 140a partly can be designed to more than or equal to 30 μ m the unusual problem of liquid crystal arrangement not to take place.
In addition, when these slits 140 were provided with these recesses 140a, the spacing c between these projections 130 and these slits 140 can be designed to 50 μ m at most and the unusual problem of liquid crystal arrangement can not take place.
The inventor studies the spacing d of these recesses 140a and the relation between width e (referring to the 2nd figure) and the penetrance (transmittance) in addition, shown in its result such as the following table one (spacing c is set at 35 μ m, and minimum-depth a is set at 14 μ m).

As shown in Table 1, these recesses 140a preferred configuration becomes its spacing d and width e addition to equal 7 ~ 9 μ m, all can obtain good penetrance.
The inventor studies the spacing d of these recesses 140a and width e (referring to the 2nd figure) and in addition with the relation between the resulting reaction time of conventional ADS driving method (response time), shown in its result such as the following table two (spacing c is set at 35 μ m, and minimum-depth a is set at 14 μ m).

As shown in Table 2, the spacing d preferred configuration of these recesses 140a becomes to be not more than 4.5 μ m, and the width e preferred configuration of these recesses 140a becomes to be not less than 3 μ m, obtains the preferable reaction time by this.
Further consider penetrance and reaction time two factors simultaneously as can be known, these recesses 140a preferred configuration becomes its spacing d and width e addition to equal 7 ~ 8.5 μ m.
Figure 3 shows that the pixel portion of multi-region vertical nematic LCD according to another embodiment of the present invention, preferable being provided with of each pixel region " H " the shape capacitance electrode (storagecapacitance electrode) 150 of its illustrated LCD, capacitance electrode 150 have two side part 150a and are connected to each other by a central part 150b.As shown in Figure 3, two of this capacitance electrode 150 side part 150a are located at the position of proximity data circuit 108 in the pixel region.Capacitance electrode with respect to conventional liquid crystal generally is designed to only have aforesaid central part 150b, and two the side part 150a and the pixel electrode 120 overlaid places of this capacitance electrode 150 can provide extra storage capacitors.This capacitance electrode 150 generally is to be formed by a lock metal layer patternization with brake cable road 106 and gate electrode.Therefore, in Fig. 3, this capacitance electrode 150 is understood with help with shadow representation with brake cable road 106.Because the lock metal level generally is with for example aluminium (aluminum), chromium (chromium), tantalum (tantalum) or molybdenum (molybdenum) formation of lighttight conducting metal, so two side part 150a of this capacitance electrode 150 can be used as a fill-in light shielding layer and are used for covering light leak.
Each projection 130 of the illustrated LCD of Fig. 1 has a plurality of branched portion 130a and is located at over against the position at the edge of pixel electrode 120.Because the major axis of liquid crystal molecule can be arranged along the vertical direction of branched portion 130a and slit 140, therefore the angle of this branched portion 130a and slit 140 is remained on and be less than or equal to 45 degree, make near the orientation difference of major axis of the liquid crystal molecule branched portion 130a and slit 140 boundaries significantly be reduced to maximum 45 by this and spend.This effective unusual arrangement of inhibition (disclination) occurs in the adjacent domain of the boundary, edge of slit 140 and pixel electrode 120.Yet because projection 130 and pixel electrode 120 are respectively formed on the different substrate; therefore the bit errors between different substrate usually can cause branched portion 130a can't accurately be located at over against the edge of pixel electrode 120, causes the unusual deepening zone of arranging of liquid crystal molecule to appear at the adjacent domain of slit 140 and boundary, pixel electrode edge on the contrary.
As Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 4, this pixel electrode 120 is separated into four partial electrode 120A, 120B, 120C and 120D by these slits 140.Per two adjacent partial electrodes are at least a connecting portion 122 and are bonded together.Each connecting portion 122 has one first partly a 122a and a second portion 122b (referring to Fig. 4), the bearing of trend of this first part 122a is perpendicular to the bearing of trend of these projections 130, and the bearing of trend of this second portion 122b is parallel to these data circuits 108.In this embodiment, the second portion 122b of each connecting portion 122 fully not overlapping (also i.e. the complete vertical projection of this second portion 122b and this branched portion 130a identical zone on base plan) with the branched portion 130a of this projection 130.The back after deliberation situation of finding can not present deepening (darkened) of inventor with this branched portion 130a overlapping areas at aforementioned second portion 122b.And in this presented dark zone, it had found that the orientation of liquid crystal molecule changes very slowly when imposing voltage.This will reduce contrast and reaction time, thereby display quality is worsened.And if the two substrates contraposition produces error, make this second portion 122b and this branched portion 130a produce dislocation and together underlapped, its dislocation zone also can produce the situation of deepening.
Figure 5 shows that the pixel portion of multi-region vertical nematic LCD in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.Except the second portion 122b of each connecting portion 122 overlapping with the branched portion 130a of this projection 130 fully (also i.e. this second portion 122b and this branched portion 130a vertical projection in zone identical on the base plan), LCD shown in Figure 5 is roughly identical with Fig. 1 and LCD shown in Figure 4.Inventor's design of this embodiment of back discovery after deliberation can effectively dwindle the aforementioned zone that presents deepening.And when two substrates was created in that the contraposition of above-below direction is unusual among Fig. 5, so design also can effectively reduce the zone that produces deepening.
Figure 6 shows that the pixel portion of multi-region vertical nematic LCD in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.In this embodiment, aforesaid first member is realized by the projection 230 of a plurality of arrayed is located at this first substrate, and aforesaid second member is realized by the slit 240 of a plurality of arrayed is located at this pixel electrode 220.The arrangement interlaced with each other haply of these projections 230 and these slits 240, the slit 240 that wherein is located in two adjacent projections 230 is bent into " it " font.As shown in the figure, this pixel electrode 220 is separated into three partial electrode 220A, 220B and 220C by these slits 240.Per two adjacent partial electrodes are at least a junction and are bonded together.These partial electrodes 220A, 220B and 220C respectively have a plurality of teats 224, and the bearing of trend of these teats 224 is perpendicular to the bearing of trend of these projections 230.It should be noted that these projections 230 be not provided with the branched portion (branch) of any panel data circuit over against this pixel electrode near the position at the edge of data circuit, so can effectively reduce the deepening zone that the branched portion bit errors is caused.
