Description
本發明是有關於一種顯示裝置。 The present invention relates to a display device.
在目前高節能的時代及趨勢中,體積輕薄且省電的顯示裝置成為目前顯示器領域的發展重點之一,而雙穩態液晶顯示裝置更是受到矚目。其中,膽固醇液晶顯示裝置(Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Display,ChLCD)因具有低功耗、不需背光模組以及無藍光傷眼等優點,且能在移除電場的情況下,持續維持亮態與暗態兩種不同的狀態,因此成為雙穩態顯示器的發展重點。 In the current era and trend of high energy saving, a thin, light and power-saving display device has become one of the development priorities in the current display field, and a bistable liquid crystal display device has attracted more attention. Among them, Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Display (ChLCD) has the advantages of low power consumption, no backlight module, no blue light damage to eyes, etc., and can continue to maintain bright and dark states when the electric field is removed Two different states, so it has become the focus of the development of bistable displays.
膽固醇液晶是一種具有布拉格反射及雙穩態之特性的液晶分子,其可反射波長與其螺距相當且旋光性相同的入射光,在電場的驅動下可切換至反射態(planar state)或穿透態(focal-conic state)這兩種穩態。膽固醇液晶在反射態時會反射特定波長之光線,因此對應的畫素會呈現亮態;在穿透態時會使光線穿透而被設置於其後之吸光層吸收,因此對應的畫素會呈現暗態。 Cholesteric liquid crystal is a liquid crystal molecule with Bragg reflection and bistable properties. It can reflect incident light with a wavelength equivalent to its helical pitch and with the same optical rotation, and can be switched to a reflective state (planar state) or a transmissive state under the driving of an electric field. (focal-conic state) these two steady states. In the reflective state, the cholesteric liquid crystal will reflect light of a specific wavelength, so the corresponding pixel will appear in a bright state; in the transmissive state, the light will penetrate and be absorbed by the light-absorbing layer arranged behind it, so the corresponding pixel will be in a bright state. Appears dark.
然而,膽固醇液晶的反應時間較長。當膽固醇液晶要從穿透態轉換為反射態時,必須提供一臨界電壓來驅動膽固醇液 晶,臨界電壓通常是大於40伏特,且需要特殊波形的電壓。切換到穿透態時,亦需要較高的電壓。此外,膽固醇液晶的電壓維持率較低,無法搭配主動式元件。因此,亟需提供一種顯示裝置,來解決習知技術所存在的問題。 However, the reaction time of cholesteric liquid crystal is relatively long. When the cholesteric liquid crystal is to be converted from the transmissive state to the reflective state, a threshold voltage must be provided to drive the cholesteric liquid crystal Crystal, the threshold voltage is usually greater than 40 volts, and requires a special waveform voltage. A higher voltage is also required when switching to the penetration state. In addition, the voltage retention rate of cholesteric liquid crystal is low, and cannot be used with active devices. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a display device to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

參照圖1A,其繪示根據本發明第一實施例的顯示裝置在亮態的橫截面示意圖。顯示裝置100包括基板101、膽固醇液晶層
102、圓偏光片103、液晶層104、電極層104E、基板106以及吸光層105。膽固醇液晶層102包括反射單元102R、102G、102B,這些反射單元排列於基板101上,且具有相同旋性。圓偏光片103設置於膽固醇液晶層102上。液晶層104包括多個囊封粒子104B以及支撐部104S,這些囊封粒子104B中容置有液晶分子LC,且液晶層104設置於膽固醇液晶層102以及圓偏光片103之間。電極層104E包括多個共電極104C及多個像素電極104P,且電極層104E設置於液晶層104上,以驅動這些囊封粒子104B中的液晶分子LC。膽固醇液晶層102設置於液晶層104以及吸光層105之間。吸光層105設置於基板101以及膽固醇液晶層102之間。這些囊封粒子104B的平均粒徑落在10nm至400nm之間的範圍內。

在本實施例中,圓偏光片103允許右旋偏振光穿透。膽固醇液晶層102為反射態(planar state),其中反射單元102R、102G、102B得以反射右旋偏振光,且反射單元102R、反射單元102G以及反射單元102B中的膽固醇液晶的螺距不同,可以反射不同波長的右旋圓偏振光。在本實施例中,反射單元102R可以反射紅色右旋圓偏振光,反射單元102G可以反射綠色右旋圓偏振光,反射單元102B可以反射藍色右旋圓偏振光。但本發明不以此為限,在本發明另一實施例中,圓偏光片103允許左旋偏振光穿透。膽固醇液晶層102為反射態(planar state),其中反射單元102R、102G、102B可以分別反射紅色、綠色及藍色左旋偏振光。

顯示為亮態。
In the first embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 1A , when light (white light) outside the
接下來參照圖1B,其繪示根據本發明第一實施例的顯示裝置在暗態的橫截面示意圖。當藉由電極層104E施加驅動電壓,並且使得液晶層104中的多個囊封粒子104B中的液晶分子LC的長軸皆垂直於基板101的法線,穿透圓偏光片103的右旋偏振光在穿透液晶層104後會改變其偏振態,成為左旋偏振光。這些光線繼續朝膽固醇液晶層102行進,穿透反射單元102R、102G以及102B而被吸光層105吸收,顯示裝置100顯示為暗態。
Next, referring to FIG. 1B , which is a schematic cross-sectional view of the display device according to the first embodiment of the present invention in a dark state. When a driving voltage is applied through the
具體而言,本第一實施例提供的顯示裝置100具備液晶層104。根據不同的灰階需求,對液晶層104施加電壓,改變囊封粒子104B中的液晶分子LC的定向,取代習知技藝中的顯示裝置對膽固醇液晶層施加驅動電壓的方式,避免了各種習知技藝所存在的高臨界電壓、反應時間長、低電壓維持率等問題。此外,根據本發明第一實施例所提供的顯示裝置100優化了囊封粒子104B的平均粒徑大小,大幅提升顯示裝置100的顯示品質。
Specifically, the
根據本發明一實施例,囊封粒子104B中的液晶分子LC的介電係數落在10F/m至30F/m的範圍內,液晶分子LC的雙折射率差值落在0.23至0.32的範圍內。藉由最大化介電異方性(dielectric anisotropy)以及光學異方性(optical anisotropy)來提高克爾效應(Kerr effect)。此外,藉由最大化介電異方性(dielectric anisotropy)來降低電極層104E的操作電壓。
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dielectric coefficient of the liquid crystal molecules LC in the encapsulated
根據本發明一實施例,液晶層104的支撐部104S包括完
全鹼化聚乙烯醇(fully-hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol),其鹼化率落在98%至99%的範圍之間。因為支撐部104S必須支撐整個液晶層104,以防止囊封粒子104B受到外力的傷害,因此,選擇完全水解的完全鹼化聚乙烯醇來實現這一目標。
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the
根據本發明一實施例,囊封粒子104B的粒子壁包括部分鹼化聚乙烯醇(partially-hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol),其鹼化率落在80%至96%的範圍之間。因為囊封粒子104B的粒子壁必須足夠堅固以防止液晶分子LC漏出,且需要和水以及液晶相容,因此選擇部分水解的部分鹼化聚乙烯醇。
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the particle walls of the encapsulated
在圖1A及圖1B所示的第一實施例中,吸光層105設置於基板101以膽固醇液晶層102之間。但是本發明不以此為限,根據本發明一實施例,基板101可以設置於吸光層105以及膽固醇液晶層102之間。

圓偏光片103以及電極層204E之間。圓偏光片103可以直接貼附於液晶層104上。顯示裝置200還可以包括設置於膽固醇液晶層102以及液晶層104之間的阻隔層207。阻隔層207包含氮化矽(SiNx)及氧化矽(SiOx)等,但是本發明不以此為限,顯示裝置200可以不包括阻隔層207。

在此說明圖4A所示的顯示裝置300的光學表現:當顯示裝置300外部的光線自圓偏光片303上方進入顯示裝置300,只有左旋偏振光會透射圓偏光片303。當未藉由電極層104E施加驅動電壓,液晶層104中的多個囊封粒子104B中的液晶分子LC的長軸皆平行於基板101的法線方向,光線在穿透液晶層104後不會改變其偏振態,維持左旋偏振。這些光線繼續朝膽固醇液晶層102行進,穿透反射單元102R、102G以及102B而被吸光層105吸收,顯示裝置300顯示為暗態。
The optical performance of the
接下來參照圖4B,其繪示根據本發明第三實施例的顯示裝置在亮態的橫截面示意圖。當顯示裝置300外部的光線自圓偏光片303上方進入顯示裝置300,只有左旋偏振光會透射圓偏光片303。當藉由電極層104E施加驅動電壓,液晶層104中的多個囊封粒子104B中的液晶分子LC的長軸皆垂直於基板101的法線方
向,光線在穿透液晶層104後會改變其偏振態,變成右旋偏振。這些光線繼續朝膽固醇液晶層102行進,並受到反射單元102R、反射單元102G以及反射單元102B的反射而分別產生紅色右旋偏振光、綠色右旋偏振光以及藍色右旋偏振光。這些各色右旋偏振光穿透液晶層104後變為左旋偏振態,在穿透圓偏光片303後,射出顯示裝置300,顯示裝置300顯示為亮態。
Next, referring to FIG. 4B , which is a schematic cross-sectional view of the display device according to the third embodiment of the present invention in a bright state. When light from outside the
參照圖5,其繪示根據本發明第四實施例的顯示裝置的橫截面示意圖。顯示裝置400與顯示裝置300不同在於,液晶層104設置於圓偏光片303以及電極層404E之間。圓偏光片303可以直接貼附於液晶層104上。顯示裝置400還可以包括設置於膽固醇液晶層102以及液晶層104之間的阻隔層407,但是本發明不以此為限,顯示裝置400可以不包括阻隔層407。
Referring to FIG. 5 , a schematic cross-sectional view of a display device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention is shown. The
綜上所述,本發明實施例提供的顯示裝置具備液晶層。根據不同的灰階需求,對液晶層施加電壓,改變囊封粒子中的液晶分子的定向,取代習知技藝中的顯示裝置對膽固醇液晶層施加驅動電壓的方式,避免了各種習知技藝所存在的高臨界電壓、反應時間長、低電壓維持率等問題。此外,根據本發明實施例所提供的顯示裝置還優化了囊封粒子的平均粒徑大小,大幅提升顯示裝置的顯示品質。 To sum up, the display device provided by the embodiments of the present invention includes a liquid crystal layer. According to different gray-scale requirements, a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal layer to change the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules in the encapsulated particles, which replaces the method of applying a driving voltage to the cholesteric liquid crystal layer in a display device in the prior art, and avoids the existence of various conventional technologies. problems such as high threshold voltage, long response time, and low voltage maintenance rate. In addition, the display device provided according to the embodiment of the present invention also optimizes the average particle size of the encapsulated particles, which greatly improves the display quality of the display device.
