Embodiment
Because contacting and on the LCD device, produce the touching deterioration during touching between cylindricality interval body and the substrate.That is, the contact meeting between cylindricality interval body and the substrate produces friction force between them.If substrate is subjected to the influence of these friction force unfriendly, then liquid crystal molecule may not can recover its virgin state, thereby can produce spot in the touching part.Can be by reducing the quantity with the cylindricality interval body of substrate contacts, reduce or prevent to touch deterioration.
When in color filter substrate and/or thin film transistor (TFT) (TFT) substrate, producing distortion, can produce the pressure deterioration when exerting pressure to substrate.Can make when exerting pressure by increasing the quantity of cylindricality interval body, can prevent filter substrate and/or TFT base plate deformation, reduce or prevent the pressure deterioration.
Touching deterioration and pressure deterioration are with opposite principle effect.When increasing the space density of cylindricality interval body, increased the contact area between cylindricality interval body and the substrate, thereby caused more touching deterioration.Yet when the substrate applied pressure increased, the pressure deterioration still less.On the other hand, when reducing the space density of cylindricality interval body, reduce the contact area between cylindricality interval body and the substrate, thereby caused touching deterioration still less.Yet when the substrate applied pressure increased, substrate may be out of shape, thereby the pressure deterioration increases.
In view of the contrary principles of touching deterioration and pressure deterioration, be difficult to reduce simultaneously or prevent this two phenomenons.In other words, can not regulate simply the quantity of cylindricality interval body or their space density reduce simultaneously touching deterioration and pressure deterioration the two.
The invention provides the cylindricality interval body so that touching deterioration and pressure deterioration minimize.Figure 2 illustrates this cylindricality interval body.
As shown in Figure 2, the infrabasal plate 105 that uses sealant 106 will have such as the driving element array of TFT is attached on the upper substrate 103 with color filter.Between infrabasal plate 105 and upper substrate 103, accompany liquid crystal layer 107.On upper substrate 103, be formed with a plurality of first cylindricality interval bodies 108 and the second cylindricality interval body 109.At this moment, the first cylindricality interval body 108 and the second cylindricality interval body 109 are spaced a predetermined distance from infrabasal plate 105.On infrabasal plate 105, be formed with a plurality of projections 118 with the first cylindricality interval body, 108 corresponding location.As shown in Figure 2, the first cylindricality interval body contacts with projection 118, but the second cylindricality interval body 109 separates with infrabasal plate 105.
The first cylindricality interval body 108 contacts with projection on the infrabasal plate 105, to keep the cell gap of fixing between upper substrate 103 and the infrabasal plate 105.Like this, the combination of the first cylindricality interval body 108 and projection 118 is as the cell gap of clearance gap body to be maintained fixed.
Because the second cylindricality interval body 109 and infrabasal plate 105 spaced apart preset distances, therefore the second cylindricality interval body 109 does not contact with infrabasal plate 105.Yet when pushing upper substrate 103 and infrabasal plate 105, thereby the second cylindricality interval body 109 contacts the distortion that has prevented upper substrate 103 and infrabasal plate 105 with infrabasal plate 105.Like this, the second cylindricality interval body 109 is as the pressure intervals body.
The first cylindricality interval body 108 and the second cylindricality interval body 109 same material by for example organic material in same processing is formed on the upper substrate 103, and by the processing different with cylindricality interval body 108 and 109 projection 118 is formed on the infrabasal plate 105.That is, the first cylindricality interval body 108 and the second cylindricality interval body 109 have essentially identical structure.Like this, the first cylindricality interval body 108 all is arranged to the space structure identical with traditional cylindricality interval body with the second cylindricality interval body 109.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the first cylindricality interval body, 108 contact protrusions 118 only, thus the first cylindricality interval body 108 keeps the cell gap of display panels 101.Yet, because the quantity of projection 118 is less than the total quantity of the first cylindricality interval body 108 and the second cylindricality interval body 109, therefore the clearance gap body in holding unit gap (promptly, the combination of the first cylindricality interval body 108 and projection 118) quantity is less than the quantity of the clearance gap body (that is traditional cylindricality interval body of prior art) of prior art.Therefore, compare, reduced the quantity of the cylindricality interval body that contacts with infrabasal plate, thereby reduced the contact area between cylindricality interval body and the infrabasal plate with the cylindricality interval body of prior art.
In addition, as shown in Figure 2,, therefore compare, further reduced the contact area between cylindricality interval body and the infrabasal plate 105 with the contact area of the cylindricality interval body of prior art because the sectional area of projection 118 is less than the first cylindricality interval body 108.Therefore, in liquid crystal panel of the present invention, can prevent to touch deterioration effectively.
In addition, because the second cylindricality interval body 109 contacts with infrabasal plate 105 and as the pressure intervals body when pushing first substrate 103 with second substrate 105, so can prevent the pressure deterioration that causes because of pressure effectively.
When not when upper substrate 103 and infrabasal plate 105 are exerted pressure, according to illustrated embodiment, only the first cylindricality interval body 108 contacts with projection 118 and keeps the cell gap of display panels 101.Like this, compared with prior art, reduced the quantity of the cylindricality interval body that contacts with infrabasal plate, thereby can prevent to touch deterioration.In addition, when when upper substrate 103 and infrabasal plate 105 are exerted pressure, the first cylindricality interval body 108 also contacts with projection 118, and the second cylindricality interval body 109 also contacts with infrabasal plate 105, thereby can prevent the pressure deterioration.In other words, because all cylindricality interval bodies 108 all contact with infrabasal plate 105 with 109 when upper substrate is exerted pressure with infrabasal plate, therefore can prevent the pressure deterioration.
Fig. 3 is the planimetric map with liquid crystal indicator of cylindricality interval body 108 and 109 of the present invention.Although shown in-plane switching liquid crystal display device in the drawings as an example of the present invention, for the liquid crystal indicator of other type, for example twisted nematic and perpendicular alignmnet type liquid crystal indicator etc. also can be used the present invention.
Shown in the embodiment as shown in Figure 3, liquid crystal indicator comprises a plurality of pixels that limited by a plurality of select liness 130 and data line 135, and is furnished with thin film transistor (TFT) 150 at each pixel place.
Thin film transistor (TFT) 150 comprises: the grid 151 that links to each other with the select lines 130 that is applied in sweep signal; Semiconductor layer 152 on the grid 151, it forms channel layer by the sweep signal activation that imposes on select lines 130; And source electrode on the semiconductor layer 152 153 and drain electrode 154, be used for picture signal is sent to pixel from data line 135.
In pixel, be furnished with at least one public electrode 162 and pixel electrode 164 abreast, be parallel to the electric field of substrate surface with generation.In pixel, be furnished with concentric line 137 that links to each other with public electrode 162 and the pixel electrode line 138 that links to each other with pixel electrode 164.Concentric line 137 and pixel electrode line 138 overlap and form memory capacitance.
On select lines 130, be formed with a plurality of cylindricality interval bodies 108 and 109.Although in Fig. 3, in each pixel, only form a cylindricality interval body, can in each pixel, form two cylindricality interval bodies, perhaps can at least two pixels, only form a cylindricality interval body.
Projection 118 is formed on the select lines 130, contacts with the first cylindricality interval body 108, thus the cell gap that is maintained fixed.Although in Fig. 3, in per two pixels, only be furnished with a projection 118, can in each pixel, arrange a projection 118, perhaps can in each pixel, form at least two projections 118.
The combination of the first cylindricality interval body 108 and projection 118 is as the clearance gap body, and the second cylindricality interval body 109 that does not contact with projection 118 is as the pressure intervals body.
In aspect of illustrative embodiments, clearance gap body and pressure intervals body alternately are arranged in the pixel.In illustrative embodiments, clearance gap body and pressure intervals body are distributed in the whole zone of substrate 103 and 105, with the cell gap that is maintained fixed and prevent to touch deterioration and the pressure deterioration.
Although in Fig. 3 cylindricality interval body 108 and 109 and projection 118 be formed on the select lines 130, cylindricality interval body 108 and 109 and projection 118 also can be formed on the data line 135 or be formed in the intersection region of select lines 130 and data line 135.
Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B are the cut-open views along the line I-I ' of Fig. 3, show according to the cylindricality interval body 108 of the LCD panel of illustrative embodiments and 109 and the structure of projection 118.Upper substrate is the filter substrate with color filter (not shown); Infrabasal plate is the TFT substrate with a plurality of TFT.Illustrative TFT substrate comprises grid 151 on the infrabasal plate 105, the gate insulation layer 162 on the infrabasal plate 105, the semiconductor layer 152 on the gate insulation layer 162, and source electrode on the semiconductor layer 152 153 and drain electrode 154.In addition, projection 118 comprises semiconductor layer 118a on the gate insulation layer 162 and the metal level 118b on the semiconductor layer 118a.On TFT and projection 118, form passivation layer 164.
Can form the semiconductor layer 118a of projection 118 by the processing identical with the semiconductor layer 152 of TFT.Can form metal level 118b by the processing identical with the source electrode 153 of TFT and drain electrode 154.Although form semiconductor layer 118a and metal level 118b, can form projection 118 and TFT by identical processing by the processing that is different from TFT.Projection 118 can be formed by semiconductor material or metal material.
The first cylindricality interval body 108 and the second cylindricality interval body 109 are formed on the upper substrate 103.The first cylindricality interval body 108 and the second cylindricality interval body 109 are formed by organic material by common or independent processing.
Shown in Fig. 4 B, projection 118 can be formed on the passivation layer 164 of infrabasal plate 105.Projection 118 can be formed by organic or metal material.The first cylindricality interval body 108 can directly contact with infrabasal plate 105 and not have projection 118.In this case, can reduce the sectional area of the end that contacts with infrabasal plate 105, with the surface that reduces infrabasal plate 105 and the friction force between the first cylindricality interval body 108.
Shown in Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B, cylindricality interval body 108 contacts with the end with projection 118 with 109 end face is smooth.The area that the clearance gap body contacts with projection can be bigger 1.5 to 2.5 times than the end of projection.In addition, cylindricality interval body 108 and 109 end face can be circle.
In order to eliminate touching deterioration and the pressure deterioration in the LCD panel simultaneously, the LCD panel can be configured to make projection 118 localization according to the position on the LCD panel with different density.
At the middle section and the fringe region place of LCD panel, the touching deterioration is different with the degree of pressure deterioration.Touch deterioration in the middle section place of LCD panel maximum, and reduce towards the fringe region of LCD panel.Like this, the quantity (or density) of clearance gap body that causes touching deterioration is the highest at the middle section place, and reduces so that touch deterioration and minimize towards fringe region from middle section.
In addition, the pressure deterioration is in the middle section place of LCD panel maximum, and reduces towards the fringe region of LCD panel.Like this, because pressure deterioration and the highest at the middle section place, and reduce so that the pressure deterioration minimizes towards fringe region from middle section with the quantity (or density) of the pressure intervals body of substrate contacts.
As mentioned above, the clearance gap body becomes the position of basis on the LCD panel with the pressure intervals bodily form and has different density (or quantity), thereby can prevent to touch deterioration and pressure deterioration.Simultaneously, clearance gap body and pressure intervals body are by projection 118 definition.That is, the first cylindricality interval body 108 is used as the clearance gap body because of contacting with projection 118, and the second cylindricality interval body 109 is used as the pressure intervals body because of not contacting with projection 118.Because cylindricality interval body 108 and 109 is evenly distributed on the LCD panel, so the density (or quantity) of clearance gap body and pressure intervals body depends on the density (or quantity) of projection 118.In other words, the density of projection 118 (or quantity) reduces towards middle section from fringe region, and the density of clearance gap body (or quantity) also reduces towards middle section.In addition, because still less projection is arranged, so the density of pressure intervals body (or quantity) increases towards middle section.
Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B are the views of representing the density of projection 118 conceptually.Projection 118 is positioned at the fringe region place with higher space density " a ", and be positioned at the space density that successively decreases near the middle section of LCD panel, shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B (promptly, a1<a2<a3<a4, here, a1, a2, a3 and a4 are illustrated respectively in the projection density at the area I, II, III and the IV place that divide in the LCD panel).Density area can be respectively by circular or square qualification the shown in Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B.Circular or square selection be can be depending on the size or the length breadth ratio of the LCD panel 101 of manufacturing.Yet the density area of LCD panel 101 is not necessarily limited to four zones; But they can be divided into any basically a plurality of density areas.
By the LCD panel structure being become the distribution that has different projection 118 according to the position on the LCD panel, to have the distribution of different clearance gap body and pressure intervals body, can reduce simultaneously touching deterioration in the LCD panel and pressure deterioration the two.
The density that can make projection 118 increases towards fringe region in every way from the middle section of LCD panel.For example, can be linear or non-linearly change the density of projection 118.
The change of the density of the projection 118 in the LCD panel means the change of distance between the change of quantity of projection 118 and the neighboring projection 118.That is, mean reducing of between the increase of respective regions place projection 118 quantity and neighboring projection distance in the increase of the density of the fringe region place of LCD panel projection 118.In addition, in the increase that reduces to mean distance between the minimizing of respective regions place projection 118 quantity and neighboring projection of the middle section place of LCD panel projection 118 density.
In addition, because cylindricality interval body 108 and 109 is distributed on the whole zone of LCD panel regularly, therefore the increase of distance means between the middle section place of LCD panel neighboring projection, is arranged in the increase of the quantity of the cylindricality interval body 109 between the projection 118.
