[Prior Art] The liquid crystal display device has the advantages of low Han shot, light weight, and power saving, and has been widely used in various information, communication, and consumer digital products. Due to cost and market demand, the current liquid crystal display devices usually adopt the Super Twisted Nematic (STN) of the simple matrix structure and the twisted nematic (TN) mode using the active matrix structure. However, the liquid crystal display device of the above mode has a narrow viewing angle. Please refer to FIG. 1' for a schematic diagram of a prior art liquid crystal display device. The liquid crystal display device (10) includes a liquid crystal display panel u and a backlight module.

The liquid crystal display panel u, the first diffusion sheet 12, the prism sheet 13, the second diffusion sheet 14, the light guide plate 15, and the reflection sheet 16 are disposed in order from top to bottom. The light source 17 is disposed adjacent to one side of the light guide plate. The light source 17 provides light to the channel loyalty 4 c 6 丄丄 # $ u lead plate 15. The reflection sheet 16 is for reflecting light that is flooded by the light guide plate 15, and g + also emits light from the light source to the light guide plate 15. The light guide plate η. The light is led to the second diffusion sheet via the second t! light form. U Iff M The diffusion sheet 14 is uniformly diffused and then emitted to the cymbal sheet 13.稜鏡 稜鏡 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 The light emitted from the prism sheet 13 is:::匕. Then, the light passes through the first diffusion sheet 12 and enters the liquid crystal display ::, U ' to display various screens. Therefore, when the viewer is facing the display panel 11, 'because the light is sufficient, a better view can be obtained - and in some special occasions, when the liquid crystal display is required to be viewed from a specific angle, the liquid crystal display device 100 is not competent. For example, if the liquid crystal display panel 11 is viewed at a certain angle from the liquid crystal display panel 11, the effect is poor at the specific angle, thereby affecting the liquid crystal display device. In view of this, it is necessary to provide a backlight module that can still be used normally under a certain angle. The liquid crystal display device can still be used for liquid crystal display when viewed from a fixed angle. The device is also necessary. It includes a control layer, a first electrode, a plurality of electrodes, and a plurality of layers. The control layer is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer. The σχ and the second electrodes are respectively located on both sides of the control layer. The first-φ technique has an oblique angle with the first electrode. When the voltage is applied, the alignment in the liquid crystal layer is between the first and second electrodes == the control layer First, the transmittance is enhanced, and the performance is specific (four). Up 7 1375084 = When the electrode is not applied with voltage, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer are bipolarly arranged 'and the axial directions are different, and the light is scattered in the control layer. The liquid day and day (4) device comprises a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight panel, and the far liquid crystal display panel comprises a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the two substrates. The backlight module includes a control unit: a second electrode and a plurality of parallel second electrodes. The control layer basin disperses the liquid crystal layer. The first and second electrodes are respectively located on opposite sides of the control layer. When the first and second electrodes are applied with a voltage between the first and second electrodes, the long axis of the liquid kiln in the liquid crystal layer is aligned in parallel with the electric field direction, and between the first and second The light transmittance of the control layer in the direction parallel to the electric field is special, the viewing angle characteristic 'when the first and second electrodes are not applied with voltage, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid helium layer are arranged in a bipolar shape' and the light control layer The scattering occurs in the middle line. The backlight module includes the first electrode, the g 1 (four)-f pole, the second electrode and the first tilt: the angle is wide - and the second electrode is applied At voltage, between I and "the first - and second electrodes The parallel direction of the electric field is enhanced to 'represent a specific viewing angle characteristic, so that the liquid crystal display device has sufficient luminance when it is a normal device. [Embodiment] The liquid crystal display device of the invention is embodied in the first embodiment. The liquid crystal display device 200 includes a liquid crystal display panel 21 8 375 〇 84 and a moonlight module 20. The backlight module 20 includes a first electrode 22, a control layer 23, a plurality of second electrodes 24, a cymbal 25, and a diffusion. a sheet %, a light guide plate 27, a reflection sheet 28, and a light source 29, the liquid crystal display panel 21, the control layer 23, the cymbal sheet 25, the diffusion sheet 26, the light guide plate 27, and the reflection sheet 28 from above The liquid crystal display panel 21 includes a first substrate (not labeled), a first substrate (not labeled) opposite to the substrate, and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first and second substrates ( Not marked). The side light guide plate 27 includes a light incident surface (not shown), a light exit surface (not labeled) that is in contact with the light incident surface, and a bottom surface opposite to the light exit surface (not ': the light source 29 is adjacent to the light source 29 The light-incident surface is disposed adjacent to the light-emitting surface. The reflection sheet 28 is disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the light guide plate 27. The guide plate 27 can emit the light from the light source 29 to the expansion sheet. 26. 4 diffuser 26 is used to uniformly diffuse the light and then exit to the cymbal 25. The cymbal 25 has a plurality of continuously distributed 突起-shaped protrusions (not labeled) adjacent to the upper surface of the control layer 23. The protrusion has a first side surface (not labeled) and a second side surface (not labeled) that is in contact with the first side surface, and the first and third side surfaces respectively have a certain inclination angle with the control layer 23. The plural number - the sides are parallel to each other'. The plurality of second sides are also parallel to each other. The first and second sides of the plurality of dome-shaped protrusions extend to the entire upper surface of the cymbal 25. The ridge-shaped protrusions can direct the light perpendicular to the control The direction of the layer 23 is concentrated to enhance the area in the convergence area. The second electrode Μ is disposed on the first side of the plurality of protrusions. 9 1375084 Please refer to FIG. 3 together, which is a perspective enlarged view of the cymbal 25. The plurality of cymbals 25 The two ends of the 突起-shaped protrusion are respectively covered with a conductive tape (not shown) attached to the plurality of second electrodes 24 and electrically connected to the plurality of second electrodes 24. The control layer 23 is dispersed by a polymer. The liquid crystal polymer (PDLC) comprises a plurality of liquid crystal droplets and a polymer. The plurality of liquid crystal droplets are evenly distributed in the polymer. The diameter of the liquid crystal droplets is 1 #m and 4 Between the #m, which is filled with liquid crystal molecules. When the light propagates along the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules, the direction of the electric field vibration of the light waves is perpendicular to the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules, and the speed of light is the same, called ordinary light, defining its refraction. The rate is called the ordinary refractive index. The ordinary light refractive index of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal droplets is generally between 1.4 and 1.5. The high molecular polymer may be Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). Triacetyl Cellulose Film (TAC) or Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) has a corresponding refractive index of 1.446, 1.485 and 1.49, respectively. * The first electrode 22 is disposed on the control layer 23 The control layer 23 is layered on the surface of the liquid crystal display panel 21. The first and second electrodes 22 and 24 are transparent electrodes, and the material thereof may be indium tin oxide (ITO). When the control layer 23 is not applied with an electric field, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal droplets are arranged in a bipolar manner and are axially different, and the control layer 23 is in a scattering state, and light is scattered in the control layer 23. When the control layer 23 is applied with a certain electric field, the liquid in the liquid crystal droplets is 1375084, and the direction of the electric field is aligned. At this time, the incident light is refracted in the liquid crystal, and the light component parallel to the direction of the electric field is directly emitted, and the light component in the field direction continues to be refracted so that the light parallel to the direction of the electric field can be emitted. Namely, the light transmittance which is longer with the liquid crystal molecules is enhanced, and the transmittance in other directions is lowered, and the angle characteristic is seen to be viewed when the liquid crystal display device is viewed at a specific angle. The liquid crystal display device has sufficient luminance to be used normally. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, it is the working principle of the control layer 23. The liquid crystal display device 200 further includes a power circuit 2〇1. ^Two circuits 2〇1 include a DC power supply, a 2〇2, and a control switch 203. ^ 'The switch 203 can turn on the power according to the control signal input by the viewer. When the viewer is directly in front of the liquid crystal display panel 21, the viewer inputs a closed signal to the control switch 203. The control switch 2〇3 is turned off and the layer 23 is not applied with an electric field 'the control layer. In the scattering state, jin I: at this time, the direction from the cymbal 25 is perpendicular to the control layer, and the control layer 23 is difficult to scatter. After the control 23 is scattered, the domain becomes more uniform and is emitted to the liquid crystal display panel ZI ° wt. The viewer is located on the liquid crystal display panel 21 due to special needs - side angle viewing day inch 'viewer input one open signal To the control switch Z, the control switch 203 is turned on, and the first and second electrodes 22, 24 are energized 'the first electrode 22 is a positive voltage, and the second electrode is a negative voltage. 1375084 The control layer 23 is applied with an electric field. ^The control 23 is in a transparent state
