Description

The liquid crystal indicator of vertical alignment mode

Technical field

The utility model relates to a kind of liquid crystal display device, relates in particular to a kind of liquid crystal indicator that is applicable to the vertical alignment mode of smaller screen.

Background technology

Along with the development of information society, people are growing to the demand of display device.In order to satisfy this demand, nearest several flat panel display equipments, as liquid crystal display device (LCD), plasma display device (PDP) has all obtained swift and violent development.In the middle of flat-panel display device, liquid crystal display device is because its weight is low, volume is little, advantage of low energy consumption, is progressively replacing the cold cathode display device.

Along with the development of liquid crystal technology, the technical specification of LCDs that is used for little mobile display spare such as mobile phone is also more and more higher, and the vertical orientated display mode that was generally used for LCD TV in the past also has been applied on the handset displays device.

Vertical alignment mode is Fuji Tsu Co., Ltd.'s utility model at first.It is published in SIDTechnical Digest the 29th volume in 1998, the 1077th page; Or see United States Patent (USP) 6424398.Formed the LCD display unit of 4 viewing areas by the perpendicular type protrusion in array base palte side and color membrane substrates side.As Fig. 1.The absorption axes of polaroid adopts 0 degree and 90 degree usually.And according to the transmitance formula of vertical alignment mode, be under 45 degree seeing through axle, the transmitance maximum of light, and when the absorption axes of Polarizer be 0 degree and 90 when spending, have only the zone in bight and Polarizer through spool being miter angle, so transmitance is bad relatively.

In order to improve the viewing angle characteristic of vertical orientated display mode, improve contrast, need the compensate film of appropriate mix.

International Business Machines Corporation improves the utility model of Fujitsu, has proposed (RFF-MH) pattern of backbone (ridge) and fringing field effect.Its way is the side formation protrusion at substrate, at the side formation ITO of other substrate groove.Specifically see United States Patent (USP) 6493050 for details.

At above-mentioned two kinds of technology, Samsung company limited has also proposed the improved procedure of oneself, form the vertical orientated display mode (PVA) of patterning, in this display mode, utilize fringing field effect fully, because the light leak that does not have projection to cause, this technology can obtain higher contrast ratio.

And the way of Sharp Corp is to adopt spherical projection on the ad-hoc location of a side group plate, on the opposite side substrate, adopt the ITO pattern of patterning, be interconnected on two ITO figure electricity that are similar to rectangle keeping, the ITO of the centre of two ITO patterns that are similar to rectangle is retained.In theory, this matching method can be realized unlimited a plurality of viewing area, and as shown in Figure 2, in this display mode, the Polarizer absorption axes of both sides is respectively that 0 degree and 90 degree are arranged.Specifically see U.S. Pat 6630975 for details.

Mobile phone with the development trend of liquid crystal display is: thickness is littler; Power consumption is lower; Brightness is higher.Mobile phone need be developed the higher LCDs of aperture opening ratio with this demand of screen.

If adopt vertical orientated display mode on little moving display screen, the technology that no matter adopts Fuji Tsu still is the display technique of International Business Machine, Samsung, Sharp, all can have the low excessively problem of aperture opening ratio.Cause the reason of this problem to be little mobile screen with respect to the TV screen, the area of itself is much smaller.And no matter be projection or ITO groove, being exposed and the restriction of etching power, it is very little that their width all can not be done, and these its transmitances of zone are very low.This influence is far longer than the very big liquid crystal television screen of area for the less mobile screen of area.This has caused and can't directly apply to the pixel design of vertical orientated TV screen to pattern on the little mobile display spare.

Consider that the aperture opening ratio of little moving display screen must be improved as cell phone standby time requirement etc.

The utility model content

Technical problem to be solved in the utility model provides a kind of liquid crystal indicator applicable to the high vertical alignment mode of the aperture opening ratio of smaller screen.

The utility model is to solve the problems of the technologies described above the liquid crystal indicator that the technical scheme that adopts provides a kind of vertical alignment mode, comprises first substrate and second substrate that are oppositely arranged; Be filled in the liquid crystal layer between first substrate and second substrate; Be formed with transparency conducting layer on the inside surface of described first substrate and second substrate; Be formed with spherical crown shape projection on the transparency conducting layer of described first substrate; The electrically conducting transparent layer pattern of second substrate be a plurality of separated be similar to rectangular-shaped; The outside of described first substrate is pasted with first Polarizer, and the outside of second substrate is pasted with second Polarizer; Wherein said two both sides that are similar to the transparency electrode layer pattern of rectangle remain with transparent conductive material, interconnect on per two adjacent electrically conducting transparent layer pattern electricity that are similar to rectangle keeping, the absorption axes of described first Polarizer is 45 degree, and the absorption axes of described second Polarizer is 135 degree.

In the above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator, can be added with quarter wave plate on described first and second Polarizer.

In the above-mentioned liquid crystal indicator, can be manufactured with compensate film on described first and second Polarizer.

Therefore, the liquid crystal indicator of vertical alignment mode of the present utility model, because two both sides that are similar to the transparency electrode layer pattern of rectangle are remained with transparent conductive material, keep interconnecting on two electrically conducting transparent layer pattern electricity that are similar to rectangle, and the absorption axes of first and second Polarizer is respectively that 45 degree and 135 are when spending, most of like this long axis of liquid crystal molecule just and the axle that sees through of Polarizer be 45 and spend angles, the transmitance maximum of light, thereby has high aperture opening ratio, applicable to undersized moving display screen, as the display screen that uses on the mobile phone.
