Table 1-60 ~ 70% ^ Β 90 ~ 95% 40% D 30% In order to solve the aforementioned shortcomings, someone in the prior art has proposed to use a reflective or "light-reducing sheet to replace the conventional absorption-type color filter Film, the degree of the southern shell of the yeast: refer to Figure 2, which shows one of the prior art cholesterol phase color filter system 2000. · A cholesterol phase color filter 22 contains three primary color sub-pixels, that is, red sub-pixel 22a The green sub-pixel 22b and the blue sub-pixel 22c are generally formed by thermo-induced cholesterol-phase liquid crystal or polymer. The temperature can be used to adjust the heHx pitch of the cholesterol polymer appropriately. The wavelength 'reflects the rest of the wavelength without absorbing the energy of the incident light. A broadband polarizer (broad-band polarizer; BBP) 21. It also provides circular polarization between the side light plate and the color filter 22. The light is also absorbed by the liquid crystal or polymer with a cholesterol phase = round = As can be seen from the above table, it is absorbed by the backlight and polarizing plate. Only 4 ~ 60 / 〇 light utilization not only limits the display but also causes Heavy burden. Therefore, the degree of LCD Most of the emitted light can reach the viewer's eyes through the color filter. Such a low action and outdoor application and the need for the power supply to develop a low power consumption and highlight 1231874 V. Description of the invention (4) Four shots and the same Handness light, and quarter wavelength plate (λ / 4) plate 23 passing through the remaining light is provided on the color filter 22 for converting circularly polarized light 26 into linearly polarized light 27.
背光模組1 01發出白色非偏振光24,經過一右旋寬帶偏 振片(RH-BBP)21後,變成白色左旋圓偏振光(圖中未顯 示),其右旋成分則經RH-BBP反射回背光模組101,該白色 左方疋圓偏振光經過一左旋型膽固醇相彩色濾光片2 2之紅色 人旦素22a後,紅色成分26a穿透,青綠色25a(cyan)成分 反射回背光模組101中,同理,當白色左旋圓偏振光通過 藍色次晝素22c時,藍色左旋圓偏振光26c穿透,黃色左旋 圓偏振光25c反射,綠色次畫素亦然。此時紅、綠、藍左 旋圓偏振光26a、26b、26c再經一 A/4板23,變成紅、 綠、藍線性偏振光27a、27b、27c,完成彩色濾光片之顯 色效果。The backlight module 1 01 emits white unpolarized light 24. After passing through a right-handed broadband polarizer (RH-BBP) 21, it becomes white left-handed circularly polarized light (not shown in the figure), and its right-handed component is reflected by RH-BBP. Back to the backlight module 101, after the white left-side circularly polarized light passes through the left human cholesterol 22a of the left-handed cholesterol phase color filter 22, the red component 26a penetrates, and the cyan 25a (cyan) component is reflected back to the backlight In module 101, similarly, when the white left-handed circularly polarized light passes through the blue subdiurnal 22c, the blue left-handed circularly polarized light 26c penetrates, the yellow left-handed circularly polarized light 25c reflects, and the same is true for the green sub-pixel. At this time, the red, green, and blue left-handed circularly polarized lights 26a, 26b, and 26c pass through an A / 4 plate 23 and become red, green, and blue linearly polarized lights 27a, 27b, and 27c, completing the color filter effect.
如第3圖所示,將該膽固醇相彩色濾光系統2〇〇應用| 般扭絞絲狀液晶顯示器(TN-LCD)1之剖面圖。當薄膜電晶 體開關6 a關閉時,液晶分子4不受電場作用,僅受配向膜 13、14之錨定力影響而扭轉9〇。,如4a之狀態,此時經過 彩色濾光系統2 0 〇之紅、綠、藍線性偏振光亦隨液晶層“ 方疋轉90 通過偏振片15而呈現亮態(n〇rmaHy white)。 當電晶體開關6b開時,液晶分子受電場作用而垂直上下基 板(即平行電場方向排列)站立,如4b所示,此時經彩色濾 光系統200之紅、綠、藍線性偏振光通過液晶層牡時,如As shown in FIG. 3, a cross-sectional view of the Twisted Filamentary Liquid Crystal Display (TN-LCD) 1 is applied to this cholesterol phase color filter system 200. When the thin-film electric crystal switch 6a is turned off, the liquid crystal molecules 4 are not affected by the electric field, but are twisted by 90 only by the anchoring force of the alignment films 13,14. As in the state of 4a, the red, green, and blue linearly polarized light passing through the color filter system 200 at this time also follows the liquid crystal layer "Square 90" and passes through the polarizing plate 15 to appear bright (nomaHy white). When When the transistor switch 6b is turned on, the liquid crystal molecules stand vertically above and below the substrate (that is, aligned in a parallel electric field direction) under the action of the electric field, as shown in FIG. When
1231874 五、發明說明(5) 同經過一均勻介質,偏振方向不改變,因此被線性偏振片 15所阻擋而呈現暗態(black )。1231874 V. Description of the invention (5) The same direction passes through a uniform medium, the polarization direction does not change, so it is blocked by the linear polarizer 15 and presents a dark state (black).
這種彩色濾光系統200,由於將入射光線半穿透及半反 射,故光線不被吸收而大大提昇光之利用率。再如第2圖 所示,此系統不吸收光線,該BBP 2 1之反射光和膽固醇相 彩色濾光層22之反射光25a、25b、25c皆經背光模組1〇1中 之反射板19,反射回顯示系統中重新使用。根據A. Hochbaum et. al. 等人發表於S I D1 9 9 9之論文,標題為,, 膽固醇彩色濾光片:光學特性,光回收,和亮度提昇 (Cholesteric color filter: Optics Characteristic, Light Recycling,and Brightness Enhancement)1’ 所揭 示,在薄膜電晶體開口率維持7 3 %之狀況下,該系統之透 光率比使用傳統吸收式彩色濾光片提高超過8倍。因此以 膽固醇相彩色濾光片取代習用之吸收式彩色濾光片不但能 降低成本、低耗電且可大大提昇亮度。 _This color filter system 200, because the incident light is semi-penetrated and semi-reflected, the light is not absorbed and the utilization of light is greatly improved. As shown in FIG. 2, this system does not absorb light. The reflected light of the BBP 21 and the reflected light 25a, 25b, and 25c of the cholesterol phase color filter layer 22 pass through the reflection plate 19 in the backlight module 101. , Reflected back to the display system for reuse. According to a paper published by A. Hochbaum et. Al. In SI D1 99, entitled "Cholesteric color filter: Optics Characteristic, Light Recycling, and Brightness Enhancement) 1 'revealed that under the condition that the aperture ratio of the thin film transistor is maintained at 73%, the light transmittance of the system is more than 8 times higher than that of the conventional absorption type color filter. Therefore, replacing the conventional absorption type color filter with a cholesterol phase color filter can not only reduce costs, reduce power consumption, but also greatly increase brightness. _
上述使用膽固醇相彩色濾光片之顯示系統,雖有亮 度之優點,但其缺點為影像之色彩會隨觀看者的角度而 變’即當觀看者非正視(視線垂直液晶面板)而傾斜炎一角 度觀看時,由於膽固醇相彩色濾光片的特性,顯像顏色會 比正視時之波長短,亦即所謂色彩偏移(c〇 i 〇r sh i f t), 這種缺點在許多顯示器的應用中是不被接受的。 有鑑於此,便有需要提供一種液晶顯示裝置,能夠解決 色彩偏移,提供較高的亮度以及較廣的視角。 【發明概要】The above display system using a cholesterol phase color filter has the advantages of brightness, but its disadvantage is that the color of the image will change with the angle of the viewer ', that is, when the viewer is not looking straight (the line of sight is perpendicular to the LCD panel) and tilted. When viewed at an angle, due to the characteristics of the cholesterol-phase color filter, the developing color will be shorter than the wavelength of the front view, which is called color shift (co 〇 〇r sh ift). This disadvantage is used in many display applications. Is not acceptable. In view of this, there is a need to provide a liquid crystal display device capable of solving color shift, providing higher brightness and a wider viewing angle. [Summary of Invention]

In addition, the liquid crystal display device 500 does not have the same; the 1/4 plate 23, and the day element electrode 52 is a day element electrode of a matrix-separated array arrangement type. In the liquid crystal display 500, the red, green, and blue circularly polarized light passing through the cholesterol-phase color filter 22 is passed through the liquid crystal layer 51, and the voltage is sensed under the condition of voltage application and no voltage application. The optical path difference (optical length difference) is different, so the polarization direction is also different. At this time, the light intensity after passing through the polarizing plate 5 will also be different. Then, the light is scattered uniformly in all directions by the diffuser plate 4 3 and reaches the observer. The title 'in this way shows a variety of different light and dark gray levels. Similarly, the reflected light after passing through the cholesterol-phase color filter 22 is shot back through the reflection plate 19 f of the backlight module, and it is returned to the liquid crystal display unit 300 to be fully used to improve the whole. LCD brightness of 500. α According to the wide-viewing-angle high-brightness liquid crystal display device of the present invention, a collimator is used to direct light to the liquid crystal panel, thereby solving the problem of color shift caused by the cholesterol phase color filter when the light is incident obliquely. The micro lenses or Fresne lenses arranged in the array can focus the light source to the densities and increase the light transmittance without being affected by the aperture ratio of the pixel electrodes. Furthermore, the wide viewing angle high-brightness liquid crystal display device according to the present invention utilizes a diffuser plate to expand the viewing angle, so as to solve the above-mentioned problem of viewing angle when using a collimator. The wide-viewing-angle high-brightness liquid crystal display device according to the present invention uses a cholesterol-phase color filter of a semi-reflective non-light-absorptive element, instead of the traditional absorption-type color filter, which can not only improve brightness, increase light utilization rate, but also reduce Material costs.
