Description

顯示器裝置Display device

本揭露內容有關於一種用於離軸觀看之顯示器裝置,尤其是有關於一種用於離軸觀看之液晶顯示器(LCD)。The present disclosure relates to a display device for off-axis viewing, and more particularly to a liquid crystal display (LCD) for off-axis viewing.

各種顯示器裝置已經被開發出來。其例子包含液晶顯示器(LCD)裝置以及有機發光顯示器(OLED)裝置。這些顯示器一般是用在各種的電子裝置,例如是行動電話、電視、數位電子看板等等。Various display devices have been developed. Examples include liquid crystal display (LCD) devices and organic light emitting display (OLED) devices. These displays are generally used in various electronic devices, such as mobile phones, televisions, digital signage, and so on.

LCD通常是針對於寬的水平可視角度、以及某個程度的垂直可視角度而被最佳化。此表示離軸亮度以及對比品質被降低,尤其是當以一相對法線約45°的視角錐觀看時。此對於安裝而言特別是有問題的,例如在汽車中的A柱顯示器,其中當顯示器被安裝至A柱時,由於A柱的形狀及位置,所述顯示器總是以45°來觀看。LCDs are usually optimized for wide horizontal viewing angles and a certain degree of vertical viewing angles. This means that off-axis brightness and contrast quality are reduced, especially when viewed from a viewing angle cone of about 45° relative to the normal. This is particularly problematic for installation, such as A-pillar displays in automobiles, where when the display is mounted to the A-pillar, the display is always viewed at 45° due to the shape and position of the A-pillar.

根據本發明之一特點,其提出一種顯示器裝置,所述裝置包括:複數個像素,其中每一個像素包括:第一封入層;第二封入層;顯示介質,其被設置在所述第一及第二封入層之間,其中所述第一封入層被設置在所述顯示介質的上表面之上,並且所述第二封入層被設置在所述顯示介質的下表面之下;以及複數個電極,其橫向地延伸穿過所述顯示介質,其中所述複數個電極是以相對於延伸在所述像素的兩個相對的邊緣之間的一軸的一傾斜的角度而被定向。According to one feature of the present invention, it provides a display device, the device includes: a plurality of pixels, wherein each pixel includes: a first sealing layer; a second sealing layer; a display medium, which is arranged in the first and Between the second sealing layers, wherein the first sealing layer is disposed above the upper surface of the display medium, and the second sealing layer is disposed below the lower surface of the display medium; and a plurality of An electrode extending laterally through the display medium, wherein the plurality of electrodes are oriented at an oblique angle with respect to an axis extending between two opposite edges of the pixel.

此具有當離軸觀看所述顯示器時,所述顯示器的對比被改善的優點。例如,在其中所述顯示器必須被安裝成使得其總是被離軸觀看的應用中,則顯示器效能是被改善的。再者,所述電極的旋轉是容易製造的,並且容許觀看者能夠看到高的對比。This has the advantage that when the display is viewed off-axis, the contrast of the display is improved. For example, in applications where the display must be installed so that it is always viewed off-axis, the display performance is improved. Furthermore, the rotation of the electrode is easy to manufacture and allows the viewer to see high contrast.

所述顯示器裝置可以進一步包括第一偏光片以及第二偏光片,其中所述第一偏光片的一偏光軸是以相對於延伸在所述像素的兩個相對的邊緣之間的所述軸的一傾斜的角度而被定向。The display device may further include a first polarizer and a second polarizer, wherein a polarization axis of the first polarizer is relative to the axis extending between two opposite edges of the pixel. Oriented at an oblique angle.

所述第一偏光片可被設置在所述第一封入層之上,並且所述第二偏光片可被設置在所述第二封入層之下,因而所述封入層是在所述第一偏光片以及所述第二偏光片之間。The first polarizer may be disposed above the first encapsulation layer, and the second polarizer may be disposed below the second encapsulation layer, so that the encapsulation layer is on the first encapsulation layer. Between the polarizer and the second polarizer.

或者是,所述第一偏光片可被設置在所述第一封入層之下,並且所述第二偏光片可被設置在所述第二封入層之上,因而所述第一偏光片以及所述第二偏光片是在所述封入層之間。Alternatively, the first polarizer may be disposed under the first encapsulation layer, and the second polarizer may be disposed on the second encapsulation layer, so that the first polarizer and The second polarizer is between the sealing layers.

所述偏光片可能必須與所述電極對準。因此以相對於在所述像素的所述兩個相對的邊緣之間的所述軸的一傾斜的角度來對準所述偏光片會改善針對於離軸觀看所述顯示器的觀看者的對比。The polarizer may have to be aligned with the electrode. Therefore, aligning the polarizer at an oblique angle with respect to the axis between the two opposing edges of the pixel will improve the contrast for a viewer viewing the display off-axis.

延伸在所述複數個電極中之一的兩個相對的末端之間的一軸可以是以相對於延伸在所述像素的兩個相對的邊緣之間的一軸的一傾斜的角度而被定向。此在其中所述電極具有V形形狀的情形中是有利的,然而亦適用在其中所述電極是以一直線來延伸的情形。當所述電極具有V形形狀時,所述V形的平均角度是相對於在所述像素的兩個相對的邊緣之間的所述軸傾斜的,然而由於所述V形的形狀,所述V形的每一側邊是以一不同的角度而被定向。此考量到所述V形的固有形狀所引起的在所述V形形狀的兩個側邊之間的角度上的差異。換言之,所述電極整體是被旋轉相對於延伸在所述像素的兩個相對的邊緣之間的一軸的一傾斜的角度。An axis extending between two opposite ends of one of the plurality of electrodes may be oriented at an oblique angle with respect to an axis extending between two opposite edges of the pixel. This is advantageous in the case where the electrode has a V-shape, but it also applies to the case where the electrode extends in a straight line. When the electrode has a V-shape, the average angle of the V-shape is inclined with respect to the axis between the two opposite edges of the pixel, but due to the V-shape, the Each side of the V shape is oriented at a different angle. This takes into account the difference in the angle between the two sides of the V shape caused by the inherent shape of the V shape. In other words, the entire electrode is rotated at an oblique angle with respect to an axis extending between two opposite edges of the pixel.

所述顯示器裝置可以進一步包括:連接至所述複數個像素的第一組導線;以及連接至所述複數個像素的第二組導線;其中所述第一組導線以及所述第二組導線被配置以定義所述複數個像素的每一個的形狀。The display device may further include: a first group of wires connected to the plurality of pixels; and a second group of wires connected to the plurality of pixels; wherein the first group of wires and the second group of wires are It is configured to define the shape of each of the plurality of pixels.

或者是,所述像素的每一個的形狀可以是一平行四邊形並且具有一對相等的對角,並且所述複數個電極被定向成使得所述複數個電極的至少一電極從一像素的第一側邊橫向地延伸至一像素的第二側邊,其中所述像素的所述第一側邊是以相對於所述像素的所述第二側邊的一傾斜的角度而被定向。此具有優點是當所述顯示器被保形地安裝在彎曲的表面時,所述像素對觀看者而言看起來是水平或垂直地延伸橫跨所述顯示器。Alternatively, the shape of each of the pixels may be a parallelogram with a pair of equal diagonal corners, and the plurality of electrodes are oriented such that at least one electrode of the plurality of electrodes is from the first of a pixel. The side extends laterally to a second side of a pixel, wherein the first side of the pixel is oriented at an oblique angle relative to the second side of the pixel. This has the advantage that when the display is conformally mounted on a curved surface, the pixels appear to the viewer to extend horizontally or vertically across the display.

In an active matrix display device, the light emission of each pixel is usually controlled by one or more thin film transistors (TFT) located at the intersection between the x-line and the y-line. The column electrodes (x lines) are sequentially addressed from a single line to a single line, and the luminous intensity of each pixel is controlled by a signal from the corresponding row electrode (y line), where each pixel is When other pixels are being addressed, they actively maintain the pixel state.

在被動及主動兩種的矩陣顯示器裝置中,所述導線的配置定義顯示器裝置的像素的形狀為方形或是矩形(由於所述導線的格子結構的緣故)。In both passive and active matrix display devices, the configuration of the wires defines whether the pixel shape of the display device is square or rectangular (due to the grid structure of the wires).

圖2描繪一交通工具的一內部,其具有以相對於一水平的平面的一傾斜的角度傾斜的一彎曲的表面。在此例子中,所述傾斜的彎曲的表面是汽車的A柱,其中駕駛可能總是以45度來觀看。Figure 2 depicts an interior of a vehicle having a curved surface inclined at an oblique angle relative to a horizontal plane. In this example, the inclined curved surface is the A-pillar of a car, where driving may always be viewed at 45 degrees.

在以下敘述的實施例中的顯示器裝置有利的是在所述顯示器裝置離軸,亦即從一約45°的角度被觀看時,提供改善的顯示器品質(在實施例中,所述顯示器裝置可以根據應用而被修改成最佳化以除了45°以外的可視角度來觀看)。The display device in the embodiment described below advantageously provides improved display quality when the display device is off-axis, that is, viewed from an angle of about 45° (in the embodiment, the display device may According to the application, it is modified to be optimized for viewing at a viewing angle other than 45°).

圖3(a)至3(d)是被用來描繪當用以描述LCD顯示器的可視角度時的術語‘軸上’及‘離軸’。在這些圖中,圖3(a)及3(b)描繪顯示器的軸上觀看,並且圖3(c)及3(d)描繪顯示器的離軸觀看。Figures 3(a) to 3(d) are used to describe the terms'on-axis' and'off-axis' when used to describe the viewing angle of an LCD display.

What is the tilt angle θ. In other words, the viewer is viewing the display device on-axis, regardless of where they are viewing the display device along the dashed line 408. The dashed line 408 represents a series of positions with a varying inclination angle θ, which corresponds to viewing through an axis having an azimuth angle Φ of 0° or 180°.

再者如同在圖3(b)中所示,另一觀看者以藉由一90°或270°的方位角Φ所指明的一觀看方向來觀看所述顯示器裝置是正在軸上觀看所述顯示器裝置,而不論傾斜角θ為何。換言之,所述觀看者正在軸上觀看所述顯示器裝置,而不論他們是從沿著虛線410的何處觀看所述顯示器裝置。所述虛線410代表具有變化的傾斜角θ的位置的系列,其對應於藉由具有一90°或270°的方位角Φ的軸上的觀看。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3(b), another viewer is viewing the display device in a viewing direction indicated by an azimuth angle Φ of 90° or 270°. Device regardless of the inclination angle θ. In other words, the viewer is viewing the display device on-axis, regardless of where they are viewing the display device along the dotted line 410. The dashed line 410 represents a series of positions with a varying inclination angle θ, which corresponds to viewing through an axis having an azimuth angle Φ of 90° or 270°.

圖3(c)及3(d)描繪觀看者以藉由一225°或315°的方位角Φ所指明的一觀看方向來觀看所述顯示器裝置。在圖3(c)及3(d)中的觀看者是離軸觀看所述顯示器裝置。3(c) and 3(d) depict the viewer viewing the display device in a viewing direction specified by an azimuth angle Φ of 225° or 315°. The viewer in Figures 3(c) and 3(d) is viewing the display device off-axis.

所述虛線412代表具有變化的傾斜角θ的位置的系列,其具有一135°或315°的方位角Φ。所述虛線414代表具有變化的傾斜角θ的位置的系列,其具有一45°或225°的方位角Φ。在其中412及414交叉的中央點觀看所述顯示器的觀看者將不會是離軸觀看所述顯示器,因為在此點的傾斜角θ=0°。類似地,在412及414的末端,觀看者並不是離軸觀看所述顯示器,因為傾斜角θ=90°或270°。The dashed line 412 represents a series of positions with varying inclination angle θ, which has an azimuth angle Φ of 135° or 315°. The dashed line 414 represents a series of positions with varying inclination angle θ, which has an azimuth angle Φ of 45° or 225°. A viewer viewing the display at the central point where 412 and 414 cross will not view the display off-axis because the tilt angle θ=0° at this point. Similarly, at the ends of 412 and 414, the viewer does not view the display off-axis because the tilt angle θ=90° or 270°.

換言之,當傾斜角θ或方位角Φ都不是0°、90°、180°或270°時,所述觀看者正離軸觀看所述顯示器。In other words, when neither the tilt angle θ nor the azimuth angle Φ is 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°, the viewer is viewing the display off-axis.

圖4描繪當一理論的顯示器顯示一均勻白色時,所述顯示器從所有的角度觀看的亮度。所述圖是一極坐標圖,並且因此中心點代表觀看者直接在θ=0°上觀看所述顯示器。從所述圖的中心延伸至周邊的軸代表傾斜角θ。環繞所述圖的外周邊延伸的軸代表所述方位角Φ。最亮的可視角度被展示為紅色(當θ=0°),而最可暗的視角度被展示為深藍色。所述圖展示相較於最亮的可視角度之可視角度的相對的亮度。可看出的是,對於所述白色的顯示器而言,所述顯示器的亮度從任何方位角Φ來看都是均勻的,然而當傾斜角θ增加時,所述顯示器的亮度下降。Figure 4 depicts the brightness of a theoretical display viewed from all angles when it displays a uniform white color. The graph is a polar graph, and therefore the center point represents that the viewer is directly viewing the display at θ=0°. The axis extending from the center to the periphery of the figure represents the tilt angle θ. The axis extending around the outer periphery of the figure represents the azimuth angle Φ. The brightest viewing angle is displayed in red (when θ=0°), and the darkest viewing angle is displayed in dark blue. The graph shows the relative brightness of the viewing angle compared to the brightest viewing angle. It can be seen that for the white display, the brightness of the display is uniform from any azimuth angle Φ, but when the tilt angle θ increases, the brightness of the display decreases.

圖5描繪當一理論的顯示器顯示一均勻黑色時,所述顯示器從所有的角度觀看的亮度。類似於圖4,所述圖是一極坐標圖,其代表變化的傾斜角θ及方位角Φ。所述顯示器是一理論的完全暗的顯示器,其中黑色是藉由完全沒有光來加以表示。在此理論的情況中,所述(非常低的)亮度從所有的角度來看都是相等的。Figure 5 depicts the brightness of a theoretical display viewed from all angles when it displays a uniform black. Similar to FIG. 4, the graph is a polar coordinate graph, which represents the varying tilt angle θ and azimuth angle Φ. The display is a theoretically completely dark display, where black is represented by the complete absence of light. In the case of this theory, the (very low) brightness is equal from all angles.

圖6描繪當一實際的顯示器顯示一均勻黑色時,所述顯示器從所有的角度觀看的亮度。類似於圖4及5,所述圖是一極坐標圖,其代表變化的傾斜角θ及方位角Φ。所述顯示器是處於一黑色狀態的一已知的LCD顯示器。不同於所述理論的顯示器,當所述顯示器離軸觀看,尤其是當以45°觀看時,對比的表現是非常地不同。Figure 6 depicts the brightness of an actual display viewed from all angles when the display shows a uniform black. Similar to FIGS. 4 and 5, the graph is a polar coordinate graph, which represents the varying inclination angle θ and azimuth angle Φ. The display is a known LCD display in a black state. Unlike the theoretical display, when the display is viewed off-axis, especially when viewed at 45°, the contrast performance is very different.

在此圖上,在其中Φ=90°及270°的點之間的直線(在所述顯示器上從頂端到底部)代表在圖3(b)中的線410。在其中Φ=0°及180°的點之間的直線(在所述顯示器上從右到左)代表在圖3(b)中的線408。沿著其中觀看者在軸上觀看所述顯示器的這兩條線408、410,亮度是低的,並且沒有漏光。In this figure, the straight line between the points where Φ=90° and 270° (from top to bottom on the display) represents the line 410 in FIG. 3(b). The straight line between the points where Φ=0° and 180° (from right to left on the display) represents the line 408 in FIG. 3(b). Along these two lines 408, 410 where the viewer views the display on-axis, the brightness is low and there is no light leakage.

如同在圖6中所示,當觀看者離軸觀看所述顯示器時,有顯著的漏光(例如其中Φ=45°、135°、225°及315°)。當離軸觀看時,這些漏光降低所述顯示器的對比,並且因此降低藉由所述顯示器顯示的影像品質。As shown in FIG. 6, when the viewer views the display off-axis, there is significant light leakage (for example, where Φ=45°, 135°, 225°, and 315°). When viewed off-axis, these light leaks reduce the contrast of the display, and therefore reduce the image quality displayed by the display.

本揭露內容的實施例解決這些問題。The embodiments of the present disclosure solve these problems.

圖7描繪在一習知的液晶顯示器之內的電極的一配置。FFS及IPS類型的LCD是基於在一光柵的電極之間的液晶的“橫向電場切換”。所述顯示器包括一數量的像素700,每一個像素具有橫跨所述顯示器延伸的電極705。液晶710是位在相鄰的電極之間。在某些類型的LCD中,所述電極是如同在圖7中所示的V形;然而它們亦可以是直線。FIG. 7 depicts a configuration of electrodes in a conventional liquid crystal display. The FFS and IPS type LCDs are based on the "lateral electric field switching" of the liquid crystal between the electrodes of a grating. The display includes a number of pixels 700, each pixel having an electrode 705 extending across the display. The liquid crystal 710 is located between adjacent electrodes. In some types of LCD, the electrodes are V-shaped as shown in FIG. 7; however, they can also be straight lines.

一般在LCD顯示器中,所述偏光片的偏光軸中之一是大致與所述電極對準,並且所述兩個偏光片的偏光軸是彼此垂直的。所述偏光片並不具有全向的效能,並且尤其是在離軸觀看時具有劣質的品質效能。在圖7的顯示器中,所述偏光軸720中之一是水平對準的,因而另一偏光軸715是垂直對準的,並且因此從45°離軸觀看將會有如同在圖6中所示的劣質的對比。Generally, in an LCD display, one of the polarization axes of the polarizer is approximately aligned with the electrode, and the polarization axes of the two polarizers are perpendicular to each other. The polarizer does not have omnidirectional performance, and especially has poor quality performance when viewed off-axis. In the display of FIG. 7, one of the polarization axes 720 is aligned horizontally, and thus the other polarization axis 715 is aligned vertically, and therefore viewing from 45° off-axis will be as shown in FIG. 6. Inferior contrast shown.

圖8描繪在一液晶顯示器之內的電極的一替代的配置。和在圖7中所示的已知的配置相比較,在此顯示器中,在每一個像素800之內的電極805是相對於所述像素的邊緣而被旋轉。由於所述電極805被旋轉,因此所述偏光片亦被旋轉,因此最佳化離軸觀看。所述經旋轉的顯示器電極805改善針對於離軸觀看的對比,而不須旋轉所述像素本身。因此,此維持相同的繞線佈局,其中垂直於電連接的源極與閘極是向下到一或兩個邊緣而被做成的,即如同在圖7中所示的顯示器,並且可以輕易地被安裝。所述顯示器電極是相對於所述源極與閘極而被旋轉。所述電極可被旋轉45°,以最佳化從45°的觀看。或者是,旋轉的角度可被選擇以最佳化從另一角度的觀看。旋轉的角度可以是與所要的可視角度相同的。Figure 8 depicts an alternative configuration of electrodes within a liquid crystal display. Compared with the known configuration shown in FIG. 7, in this display, the electrode 805 within each pixel 800 is rotated relative to the edge of the pixel. Since the electrode 805 is rotated, the polarizer is also rotated, thus optimizing off-axis viewing. The rotated display electrode 805 improves the contrast for off-axis viewing without rotating the pixel itself. Therefore, this maintains the same winding layout, in which the source and gate perpendicular to the electrical connection are made down to one or two edges, that is, like the display shown in FIG. 7, and can be easily Ground is installed. The display electrode is rotated relative to the source electrode and the gate electrode. The electrode can be rotated 45° to optimize viewing from 45°. Alternatively, the angle of rotation can be selected to optimize viewing from another angle. The angle of rotation can be the same as the desired viewing angle.

所述電極805是以相對於延伸在一像素800的兩個相對的邊緣802、804之間的一軸A的一傾斜的角度而被定向。此亦適用於延伸在所述像素的另兩個邊緣之間的一軸,其在此例子中是在一垂直於A的方向上。在此圖中,所述像素電極805被設置有6至16度的移位,此形成所述V形形狀;然而它們亦可以是直線。The electrode 805 is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to an axis A extending between two opposite edges 802, 804 of a pixel 800. This also applies to an axis extending between the other two edges of the pixel, which in this example is in a direction perpendicular to A. In this figure, the pixel electrodes 805 are provided with a shift of 6 to 16 degrees, which forms the V-shape; however, they can also be straight lines.

線A’描繪延伸在一電極的相對的末端之間的一軸。A’是以相對於A的一傾斜的角度而被定向。因此,所述V形的電極平均來說是以相對於軸A的一傾斜的角度而被定向。Line A'depicts an axis extending between the opposite ends of an electrode. A'is oriented at an oblique angle relative to A. Therefore, the V-shaped electrodes are oriented at an oblique angle with respect to axis A on average.

在此實施例中,全部的像素800都是以相對於在所述像素的兩個相對的邊緣802、804之間的軸A的相同的傾斜的角度而被定向,因而所述像素800都沒有平行或垂直於在所述像素的兩個相對的邊緣802、804之間的軸A。In this embodiment, all the pixels 800 are oriented at the same oblique angle with respect to the axis A between the two opposite edges 802, 804 of the pixel, and therefore none of the pixels 800 Parallel or perpendicular to the axis A between the two opposite edges 802, 804 of the pixel.

圖9描繪在一液晶顯示器之內的電極的一替代的配置;在此實施例中,所述像素形狀被改變以改善所述像素的填充係數。Figure 9 depicts an alternative configuration of electrodes within a liquid crystal display; in this embodiment, the pixel shape is changed to improve the fill factor of the pixel.

在所述像素之內的電極以及所述偏光片被旋轉,以針對於離軸觀看所述顯示器的觀看者來改善對比以及觀看品質。所述電極905是以相對於延伸在一像素900的兩個相對的邊緣之間的一軸B的一傾斜的角度而被定向。此亦適用於延伸在所述像素的另兩個邊緣之間的一軸。在此圖中,所述像素電極905被設置有6至16度的移位,此形成所述V形;然而它們亦可以是直線。The electrodes within the pixels and the polarizer are rotated to improve contrast and viewing quality for viewers who view the display off-axis. The electrode 905 is oriented at an oblique angle with respect to an axis B extending between two opposite edges of a pixel 900. This also applies to an axis extending between the other two edges of the pixel. In this figure, the pixel electrodes 905 are provided with a shift of 6 to 16 degrees, which forms the V shape; however, they can also be straight lines.

線B’描繪延伸在一像素的相對的末端之間的一軸。B’是以相對於B的一傾斜的角度而被定向。因此,所述V形的電極平均來說是以相對於軸B的一傾斜的角度而被定向。Line B'depicts an axis extending between the opposite ends of a pixel. B'is oriented at an oblique angle relative to B. Therefore, the V-shaped electrodes are oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the axis B on average.

所述顯示器裝置900可以被保形地安裝至一汽車的A框架的彎曲的表面,其是以一傾斜的角度傾斜的。在所述顯示器裝置900中的像素具有菱形或是平行四邊形的形狀,對於觀看者而言看起來是垂直地延伸橫跨所述顯示器裝置、或是水平地延伸橫跨所述顯示器裝置,此改善影像品質。The display device 900 may be conformally mounted to the curved surface of an A frame of an automobile, which is inclined at an oblique angle. The pixels in the display device 900 have the shape of a rhombus or a parallelogram and appear to the viewer to extend vertically across the display device or extend horizontally across the display device. This improvement Image quality.

導電的列電極以及導電的行電極被配置以定義所述複數個像素的每一個的形狀及尺寸,其是橫跨所述顯示器為均一的。在此實施例中,所述複數個像素的每一個是一平行四邊形,其具有一對相等的對應於所述顯示器裝置將被安裝到其上的所述彎曲的表面的傾斜角之對角。Conductive column electrodes and conductive row electrodes are configured to define the shape and size of each of the plurality of pixels, which are uniform across the display. In this embodiment, each of the plurality of pixels is a parallelogram with a pair of equal diagonal angles corresponding to the inclination angle of the curved surface on which the display device is to be mounted.

在所述像素的相鄰的側邊之間的所述相等的對角的每一個可以是與在所述像素電極以及延伸在兩個相對的側邊之間的所述軸之間的角度相同的。或者是,在所述像素的相鄰的側邊之間的所述相等的對角的每一個可以是與在所述像素電極以及延伸在兩個相對的側邊之間的所述軸之間的角度不同的。Each of the equal diagonal angles between adjacent sides of the pixel may be the same as the angle between the pixel electrode and the axis extending between two opposite sides of. Alternatively, each of the equal diagonals between adjacent sides of the pixel may be between the pixel electrode and the axis extending between two opposite sides. The angles are different.

圖10(a)描繪在一液晶顯示器之內的電極以及偏光片的一已知的配置。此配置使得偏光軸被對準成水平及垂直的。在LCD像素700之內的電極被對準到偏光片720的偏光軸PA,其中所述電極延伸在和偏光軸PA相同的方向上,並且是在相同的角度下延伸。另一偏光片715的偏光軸是垂直於所述偏光片720的偏光軸以及在所述像素之內的電極。此系統是針對於在軸上的觀看而被最佳化,如同藉由代表軸上的可視角度的箭頭所展示的。此顯示器將會在0°、90°、180°及270°可視角度具有良好的對比。Figure 10(a) depicts a known configuration of electrodes and polarizers in a liquid crystal display. This configuration allows the polarization axis to be aligned horizontally and vertically. The electrodes within the LCD pixel 700 are aligned to the polarization axis PA of the polarizer 720, wherein the electrodes extend in the same direction as the polarization axis PA and extend at the same angle. The polarization axis of the other polarizer 715 is perpendicular to the polarization axis of the polarizer 720 and the electrode inside the pixel. This system is optimized for viewing on the axis, as shown by the arrows representing the viewing angle on the axis. This monitor will have good contrast at viewing angles of 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°.

圖10(b)描繪根據本揭露內容的實施例的在一液晶顯示器800之內的電極以及偏光片815、820的一替代的配置。此配置使得偏光軸被對準在相對所述水平及垂直的45°。在所述LCD像素800之內的電極被對準到偏光片820的偏光軸PA’,其中所述電極延伸在和偏光軸PA’相同的方向上,並且是在相同的角度下延伸。另一偏光片815的偏光軸是垂直於偏光片820的偏光軸以及在所述像素之內的電極。相較於在圖10(a)中所示的已知的配置,所述V形的電極亦相對於延伸在所述像素800的兩個相對的側邊之間的一軸而被旋轉45°。此配置容許當離軸觀看,尤其是當以45°觀看時有更佳的對比。FIG. 10(b) depicts an alternative configuration of electrodes and polarizers 815 and 820 in a liquid crystal display 800 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This configuration allows the polarization axis to be aligned at 45° relative to the horizontal and vertical. The electrodes within the LCD pixel 800 are aligned to the polarization axis PA' of the polarizer 820, wherein the electrodes extend in the same direction as the polarization axis PA' and extend at the same angle. The polarization axis of the other polarizer 815 is perpendicular to the polarization axis of the polarizer 820 and the electrode inside the pixel. Compared to the known configuration shown in FIG. 10( a ), the V-shaped electrode is also rotated by 45° with respect to an axis extending between two opposite sides of the pixel 800. This configuration allows for better contrast when viewed off-axis, especially when viewed at 45°.

圖11描繪一種顯示器裝置的一橫截面。所述顯示器裝置包含(從頂端到底部)一第一偏光片、一第一封入層、一顯示介質、一第二封入層、以及一第二偏光片。Figure 11 depicts a cross section of a display device. The display device includes (from top to bottom) a first polarizer, a first encapsulation layer, a display medium, a second encapsulation layer, and a second polarizer.

所述第一封入層、顯示介質、以及第二封入層構成所述顯示器單元。所述顯示器電極(未顯示)是延伸穿過所述顯示介質而被形成。這些被旋轉以改善在一例如是在45°的離軸的可視角度的對比。The first sealing layer, the display medium, and the second sealing layer constitute the display unit. The display electrode (not shown) is formed by extending through the display medium. These are rotated to improve the contrast at an off-axis viewing angle of, for example, 45°.

所述第一偏光片是位在所述顯示器單元之上。所述第一偏光片的方位亦被旋轉,以互補在所述顯示器單元之內的顯示器電極。The first polarizer is located on the display unit. The orientation of the first polarizer is also rotated to complement the display electrodes in the display unit.

所述第二偏光片是位在所述顯示器單元之下,在所述顯示器單元的與所述第一偏光片相反的側邊上。所述第二偏光片的方位亦被旋轉,以互補在所述顯示器單元之內的顯示器電極,並且所述第二偏光片是大致垂直於所述第一偏光片以提供與所述第一偏光片相反的偏光。The second polarizer is located under the display unit, on the side of the display unit opposite to the first polarizer. The orientation of the second polarizer is also rotated to complement the display electrodes in the display unit, and the second polarizer is substantially perpendicular to the first polarizer to provide a relationship with the first polarizer. The opposite polarized light.

所述顯示器亦可包含亮度強化及/或對比強化膜。一般而言,這些是被對準到所述偏光軸。當離軸觀看時,所述亮度強化膜亦可能有降低的觀看品質,因此與所述偏光片一致地旋轉此會改善離軸的觀看品質。對比強化膜降低所述顯示器的暗的部分的漏光;因此與所述偏光片一致地旋轉所述對比強化膜會改善離軸的觀看品質。此將會藉由旋轉所述亮度或對比強化膜和所述V形及/或偏光片的旋轉相同的傾斜角來加以達成。The display may also include brightness enhancement and/or contrast enhancement films. Generally speaking, these are aligned to the polarization axis. When viewed off-axis, the brightness enhancement film may also have reduced viewing quality, so rotating it in unison with the polarizer will improve the off-axis viewing quality. The contrast enhancement film reduces light leakage in the dark parts of the display; therefore, rotating the contrast enhancement film in line with the polarizer will improve off-axis viewing quality. This will be achieved by rotating the brightness or contrast enhancement film and the V-shaped and/or polarizer at the same inclination angle.

所述顯示器裝置可以是LCD顯示器裝置(所述像素具有第一及第二基板),因而所述顯示介質是一液晶顯示介質。所述LCD顯示器裝置可以根據複數種已知的技術之一來操作,例如所述LCD顯示器裝置可以是扭轉向列(TN)顯示器裝置、邊緣場切換(FFS)顯示器裝置、橫向電場切換(IPS)顯示器裝置、平面至線切換(PLS)顯示器裝置、或是根據未在此敘述的另一已知的LCD技術來操作。The display device may be an LCD display device (the pixels have first and second substrates), so the display medium is a liquid crystal display medium. The LCD display device may be operated according to one of a plurality of known technologies. For example, the LCD display device may be a twisted nematic (TN) display device, a fringe field switching (FFS) display device, and a lateral electric field switching (IPS). Display devices, plane-to-line switching (PLS) display devices, or operate according to another known LCD technology not described here.

上述實施例的顯示器裝置可以是可撓的,亦即由所述顯示器裝置的像素所界定的主動區域的整體表現出可撓性,亦即可以彎曲多次而不斷裂。尤其,以上所提到的第一及第二封入層可以是由可變形的塑膠基板所做成的,例如是三乙酸纖維素(TAC)、聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)、聚萘二甲酸乙二酯(PEN)、聚醯亞胺(PI)、或是丙烯酸基等等(取代習知的玻璃基板),使得所述顯示器裝置具有可撓性,並且可以捲起、折疊、彎曲、等等。在替代的實施例中,以上所提到的第一及第二封入層是由玻璃所做成的,使得由所述顯示器裝置的像素所界定的主動區域並不呈現此種可撓性,但是被成形以用於保形的安裝到彎曲的表面。或者是,所述顯示器裝置可以是非可撓的類型,其可能只是可舒適一次彎曲而已。The display device of the foregoing embodiment may be flexible, that is, the entire active area defined by the pixels of the display device exhibits flexibility, that is, it can be bent multiple times without breaking. In particular, the first and second sealing layers mentioned above can be made of deformable plastic substrates, such as cellulose triacetate (TAC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Ethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyimide (PI), or acrylic based, etc. (instead of the conventional glass substrate), makes the display device flexible, and can be rolled, folded, Bend, etc. In an alternative embodiment, the first and second sealing layers mentioned above are made of glass, so that the active area defined by the pixels of the display device does not exhibit such flexibility, but Shaped for conformal mounting to curved surfaces. Alternatively, the display device may be of a non-flexible type, which may only be bent once comfortably.
