  • the first pixel electrode 1330 a When a particular driving voltage is input into the pixel unit via the data line 1312 , the first pixel electrode 1330 a will receive a higher voltage than the second pixel electrode 1330 b so that the effective voltage applied on the liquid crystal molecules 1210 a in the first domain set I is greater than that applied on the liquid crystal molecules 1210 b in the second domain set II, resulting in an obliquity of the liquid crystal molecules of the first domain set I different from that of the liquid crystal modules of the second domain set II, so that when the viewing angle changes, changes in brightness will be reduced because the first domain set I and the second domain set II will compensate each other in brightness.
  • a plurality of alignment protrusions 1130 are disposed on the common electrode layer 1120 of the opposite substrate 1100
  • a plurality of alignment protrusions 1340 are disposed on the second pixel electrode 1330 b and the first pixel electrode 1330 a of the active component arrays substrate 1300 so that the liquid crystal molecules within the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion will be arranged in multi-domain pattern.
  • the method by which the liquid crystal molecules within the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion are caused to be arranged in multi-domain pattern is, for example, to form slits on the common electrode layer 1120 , the first pixel electrode 1330 a and the second pixel electrode 1330 b .

  • FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a pixel unit 200 in an MVA LCD according to a second embodiment.
  • the arrangement FIG. 2 is similar to that of FIG. 1B with the difference being that in the pixel unit 200 of the second embodiment, the second pixel electrode 2330 b electrically connects to the active component 1316 through a resistance component 2318 .
  • the resistance component 2318 is a transistor but it can also be a resistor or any other device capable of generating a voltage drop.
  • the first pixel electrode 2330 a electrically connects to the active component 1316 directly.
  • the gate of the component 2318 (if implemented as a transistor) is connected to the same scan line 1314 as the gate of the active component 1316 .
  • the first pixel electrode 2330 a corresponds to the location of the first domain set I and the second pixel electrode 2330 b corresponds to the location of the second domain set II, so that the effective voltages applied on the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the first domain set I and that applied on the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the second domain set II are different (similar to what is illustrated in FIG. 1A ).
  • the voltage drop generated by resistance component 2318 will determine the effective voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the second domain set II (similar to what is illustrated in FIG. 1A ).
  • the first pixel electrode corresponds to the location of the first domain set and the second pixel electrode corresponds to the location of the second domain set. Additionally, the first pixel electrode electrically connects to the active component directly while the second pixel electrode connects to the active component via a capacitance or a resistance component so that the effective voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer in the first domain set and that applied to the liquid crystal layer in the second domain set are different. In other implementations, instead of defining just two domain sets, additional domain sets can also be defined.
  • FIG. 2A is a schematic circuit diagram of a pixel unit in an MVA LCD according to a variation of the second embodiment.
  • This pixel unit is similar to the second embodiment with the main difference being the way in which the gate of transistor 2318 is connected.
  • the gate of transistor 2318 electrically connects to the source of the active component 1316 (rather than to scan line 1314 as in FIG. 2 ). This will cause a voltage on the data line 1312 to turn on the transistor 2318 so that an input voltage signal can be provided to the pixel electrode 2330 b once the scan line 1314 turns on the active component 1316 .
  • the voltage signal output from data line 1312 may vary from one time frame to another time frame, which causes the channel size of the transistor 2318 to change with the varying voltage signal. Therefore, the transistor 2318 provides a variable resistance. This variable resistance will generate a voltage drop that can cause the voltage received by the first pixel electrode 2330 a (located in the first domain set I) to be different from that received by the second pixel electrode 2330 b (located in the second domain set II). In other words, the effective voltage applied on the liquid crystal layer in the first domain set I is different from that applied on the liquid crystal layer in the second domain set II.
  • FIG. 2B is a schematic circuit diagram of a pixel unit in an MVA LCD according to a second variant of the second embodiment.
  • This pixel unit is similar to the second embodiment with the main difference being that in this second variant, the pixel unit further includes a shared line 2314 a which electrically connects to the gate of the transistor 2318 .
  • the shared line 2314 a may electrically connect to a reference voltage source so that the transistor 2318 will stay in the on state.
  • the transistor 2318 provides a resistance and it is this resistance that enables this second variant to generate a voltage drop so that the voltage received by the first pixel electrode 2330 a (located in the first domain set) is different from that received by the second pixel electrode 2330 b (located in the second domain set II).
  • the pixel unit of this second variant may further include a storage capacitor, Cs, which electrically connects the shared line 2314 a and the first active component 1316 .
  • This storage capacitor Cs can be located inside the first domain set I or the second domain set II, or alternatively, be located inside both the first domain set I and the second domain set II.
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a pixel unit of a third embodiment.
  • the third embodiment is similar to the first embodiment with the difference being that the pixel electrode 3320 of the third embodiment is not divided and a dielectric layer 3330 is disposed above the pixel electrode 3320 that corresponds to the location of the second domain set II. Such a dielectric layer is not provided in the first domain set I.
  • the dielectric layer 3330 provides a dielectric constant between the pixel electrode 3320 and the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the second domain set II that is higher than the dielectric constant between the pixel electrode 3320 and the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the first domain set I, so that the effective voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the second domain set II is different from that applied on the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the first domain set I.
  • the dielectric layer 3330 can be made of, for example, resin or another dielectric material and it is also electrically connected to the active component.
  • the dielectric constant and thickness of the dielectric layer 3330 will determine the effective voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the second domain set II.
  • this embodiment is not limited to use of the alignment protrusions 1130 and 1340 in order to cause the liquid crystal molecules within the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion to be arranged in a multi-domain pattern.
  • Another method by which the liquid crystal molecules within the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion are caused to arrange in multi-domain pattern is, for example, to form slits on both the active component array substrate 1300 and the opposite substrate 1100 at the same time.
  • alignment protrusions and slits are formed on the active component array substrate 1300 and the opposite substrate 110 .
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a pixel unit in an MVA LCD according to a fourth embodiment.
  • the fourth embodiment is similar to the third embodiment with the difference being that the pixel electrode 4320 has a plurality of slits 4322 and these slits 4322 are at a location that corresponds to that of the second domain set II. Additionally, the pixel electrode 4320 is also provided with alignment protrusions 1340 and the alignment protrusions 1340 are at a location that corresponds to that of the first domain set I.
  • the protrusions 1340 and slits 4322 are both formed on the active component array substrate 1300 so that the driving voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the first domain set I has a different characteristic as compared to the driving voltage applied on the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the second domain set II, such that the first domain set I and the second domain set II will have different obliquities of liquid crystal molecules even with the same voltage input.
  • This enables the two domain sets to compensate for the difference in brightness caused by changes in the viewing angle so that the problem of color drift is alleviated.
  • slits and alignment protrusions 1130 may also be formed on the opposite substrate 1100 while the alignment protrusions 1340 are formed on the active component array substrate 1300 so that the driving voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the first domain set I has a different characteristic as compared to the driving voltage applied on the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion in the second domain set II.
  • the alignment protrusions 1340 , 1130 , and slits 4322 combined will cause the liquid crystal molecules within the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion to be arranged in a multi-domain pattern.
  • the method by which the liquid crystal molecules are caused to be arranged in multi-domain pattern is not limited to this kind of combination.
  • the alignment protrusions 1130 may be substituted by slits formed on the common electrode layer 1120 of the opposite substrate.

  • FIG. 5B is a chart of curves (for different distances) showing the relationship of driving voltage versus transmittance.
  • the pixel electrode 5320 has a plurality of slits 5322 and 5324 and electrically connects to the active component.
  • the opposite substrate 1100 is provided with a plurality of alignment protrusions 1130 and the combination of the alignment protrusions 1130 , slits 5322 and 5324 will cause the liquid crystal molecules within the liquid crystal layer 1200 portion to arrange in a multi-domain pattern.
  • Each alignment protrusion 1130 is separated by a minimum first distance D 1 and a minimum second distance D 2 from slit 5324 and slit 5322 , respectively, on the two sides, respectively, of the protrusion 1130 .
