Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a polarizer structure, and more particularly to a polarizer having an adjustable viewing angle and a liquid crystal display using the same. [Prior Art] The sigma sigma display is becoming more stringent and the required viewing angle is getting higher and higher, but the improvement of the viewing angle depends on the compensation of the polarizer. However, the optical compensation range of the polarizer is limited and fixed, when the display panel is set. When the difference in phase retardation (retardati〇n) is too large, the polarizer cannot be compensated and the viewing angle is low. Generally, the principle of compensating the viewing angle of the polarizer is to compensate the positive birefringence (PGSltive bircfringenee) of the negative birefringence through the wide-angle compensation film (coffee_film) of the negative birefringence when the display is in the dark state.

(5 liquid crystal Optical compensation, due to the optical compensation of the upper and lower polarizer compensation layers a, 12, the example of the phase diagram 1A has exceeded the optical compensation range of the upper and lower polarizer compensation layers u, 12, so Some liquid crystal sub-layers (such as C7, C8, C9) cannot be optically compensated. Free: a also μ refers to Figure 1C, when the cell gap G of the display panel becomes smaller (phase Lu is in the example liquid crystal layer c of Figure 1A) In the lower half, only the disc-shaped liquid crystal sub-layers C4 and C5 have a plurality of disc-shaped liquid crystal layers for the upper and lower polarizer compensation layers u and 12, so that the lower polarizer 12 has only the disc-shaped liquid crystal layer 12 and the liquid crystal. The optical compensation corresponding groups e and f formed by the disc-shaped liquid crystal sub-layers C4 and C5 in the lower half of the layer c cause the disc-shaped liquid crystal layer 123 of the lower polarizer 12 to be optically compensated, resulting in a low viewing angle. After the output, the internal parameters are fixed and cannot be changed, so if the display panel is produced, the liquid is moderately changed by the polarizer. The average tilt angle of the crystal layer is beneficial to improve the optical compensation and the viewing angle of the polarizer to the display panel. Based on the above problems, the inventors have proposed a polarizing plate with adjustable viewing angle and a liquid crystal display having the same, SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a direct control of the average tilt angle of a discotic liquid crystal in a biased manner, thereby optimizing the optical compensation of the produced display panel.

The discotic liquid crystal layer 24 in the polarizer 2 of the present invention is composed of a plurality of discotic liquid crystals which are obliquely arranged with respect to the plane of each layer (for example, (1) to ι 3 and (2) to (2) of _ 1A): the discotic liquid crystal layer 24 The disc is formed between the first transparent electrode layer 23 and the second transparent electrode (four), and the disc-shaped liquid crystal changes the average tilt angle by the electric field generated by the first transparent electrode layer 23 and the second transparent electric sand. θ Referring to FIG. 3, it is shown that the connection mode of the two transparent electrode layers of the present invention is changed by the electric field generated by the first transparent electrode layer Μ科明 electrode layer 25 due to the disc-shaped liquid crystal in the polarizing plate 2. The tilting angle, the font type flexible circuit board 5 is respectively connected to the first transparent electrode and the driving source (not shown) by a layer Υ a _ $35 layer 23', and is supplied to the first transparent electrode by the driving source. Layer 23 201118434 and the first - transparent electric (four) 25 different values to generate different electric fields, control the average tilt angle of the discotic liquid crystal layer 24, and then adjust the optical compensation with the liquid crystal layer in the display panel (C shown in Figure 1A) To optimize. On the contrary, it is also possible to adjust the liquid crystal layer in the display panel by using the driving source to provide the first transparent electrode layer and the transparent electrode layer 25 to generate different electric fields, and to control the average tilt angle of the liquid crystal layer 24. (The component number C shown in Figure ia) is compensated to the worst to produce the anti-spying effect; continue to use optical compensation to the worst value of the best difference, and the surface is different according to the thickness of the liquid crystal layer of different sizes or different panels. The difference 'can be difficult for the user or the designer. Referring to Fig. 4', there is shown a structural view of a polarizing plate of the present invention applied to a liquid crystal display. The liquid crystal display 3 includes a liquid crystal cell (Cdl) 4 and at least one polarizer (the present embodiment is described by two polarizers). The liquid crystal cell 4 includes two substrates 4 disposed opposite to each other, wherein a side of the substrate 4i has a -electrode 43' and a liquid crystal layer 44 between the two substrates 41. This is a conventional liquid crystal display H. The structure, so its detailed structure is no longer mentioned here. The above-mentioned liquid crystal display rides the _ wire system to be at least 2, which is disposed on the outer side or the lower side of the liquid crystal cell 4, or is disposed on both the upper and lower sides, and the upper and lower sides of the present embodiment are thinner and lower. In the structure of the present embodiment, the polarizer 2 is disposed on the lower side of the liquid crystal cell 4, and the polarizer 2 is electrically connected to the second polarizer 2. Connected, and the two gamma-type flexible circuit boards 51 52 3 end are connected to the secret (not shown), and the first transparent electrode layer 23 and the second transparent electrode layer 25 are provided by the Heyuan source to the two polarizers 2. ^ 201118434 The pressure value is used to generate different electric fields, and the average tilt angle of the discotic liquid crystal layer 24 is controlled, thereby adjusting the optical compensation of the liquid crystal layer (c shown in FIG. 1A) in the panel of the panel to the worst.
