Abstract
Description
- The present invention belongs to the field of liquid crystal display technology, in particular to a color filter substrate and a liquid crystal display device.
- TFT-LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display) is an important flat panel display device. Depending on the direction of the electric field driving the liquid crystal, TFT-LCD can be classified into a vertical electric field type and a horizontal electric field type. The vertical electric field type TFT-LCD requires pixel electrodes formed on an array substrate, and common electrodes formed on a substrate to be aligned and assembled with the array substrate (e.g. a color filter substrate), as in the commonly used TN mode; the horizontal electric field type TFT-LCD requires pixel electrodes and common electrodes respectively formed on the array substrate, as in the ADS mode (advanced ultra-dimensional field switching mode) or in the IPS mode.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , a new type of TFT-LCD is currently developed on the basis of the conventional horizontal electric field type TFT-LCD, the new TFT-LCD comprising a strip-shaped pixel electrode 103 and a strip-shaped secondcommon electrode 104 formed on anarray substrate 102 as well as a plate-shaped firstcommon electrode 105 formed on acolor filter substrate 101. In the conventional horizontal electric field type TFT-LCD, a phenomenon of liquid crystal phase error would occur in the liquid crystal molecules due to the electric field formed between the strip-shaped pixel electrode and the strip-shaped second common electrode on the array substrate, i.e. a black line (caused by the liquid crystal phase error) appears between the strip-shaped pixel electrode 103 and the strip-shaped secondcommon electrode 104 as shown inFIG. 3 , while in the structure of the TFT-LCD shown inFIG. 1 , the plate-shaped firstcommon electrode 105 is formed on thecolor filter substrate 101, therefore the phenomenon of the liquid crystal phase error can be avoided. Thearray substrate 102 in the above mentioned TFT-LCD is similar to the IPS mode, the solution is also possible if thearray substrate 102 is implemented in the ADS mode wherein the second common electrode is a plate-shaped electrode and the pixel electrode is a stripe-shaped electrode; or the pixel electrode is a plate-shaped electrode and the second common electrode is a strip-shaped electrode. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , on the basis of the TFT-LCD having the structure as shown inFIG. 1 , a dielectric layer (over coater) 106 is formed on the firstcommon electrode 105 of thecolor filter substrate 101, wherein thedielectric layer 106 is typically made of insulating material such as acrylic resin. By comparing the distribution diagram of the electric field equipotential lines as shown inFIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , it can be seen in the structure of the TFT-LCD ofFIG. 2 that, lateral equipotential lines are substantially distributed in thedielectric layer 106, and the amount of vertical equipotential lines distributed in the liquid crystal layer is also increased, thus the TFT-LCD having the structure shown inFIG. 2 may facilitate transition of the liquid crystal molecules from an upright state to an inclined state, thereby improving the transmittance of the TFT-LCD having the structure shown inFIG. 2 . In addition, comparing the display screens shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 , it can be seen that the brightness of the TFT-LCD having the structure shown inFIG. 2 is increased as compared to the conventional horizontal electric field type TFT-LCD. - Brightness of a liquid crystal display device is related to the angle between the liquid crystal molecule and light. When a liquid crystal molecule has a certain orientation, the brightness of a same location on the liquid crystal display device as observed from different positions outside the liquid crystal display device is different, this is because the light output angles from a same location on the liquid crystal display device as observed from different positions outside the liquid crystal display device are different, so that the angles between the liquid crystal molecules and light are different. For this reason, if the liquid crystal molecules within a pixel unit have a single orientation or the difference among the orientation is rather small, the brightness of the pixel unit observed from different positions outside the liquid crystal display device is different, that is, a phenomenon of color shift occurs. Although the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal display device have different deflection directions under the influence of electric field, the liquid crystal molecule have few orientations, so that color shift occurs.

- Details will be described in the following embodiments for better understanding of the present invention.
- As shown in
FIGS. 5 through 9 , the present invention provides acolor filter substrate 101 comprising: a first substrate (not shown), a black matrix (not shown) and a color film layer (not shown) provided on the first substrate, wherein the color film layer comprises a plurality of pixel units arranged periodically and repeatedly in a matrix, each pixel unit includes at least two sub-pixels of different colors, each sub-pixel comprises a color filter film (not shown in the figure, the color of the color filter film is the same as the sub-pixel), a firstcommon electrode 105 disposed on the color filter film, and adielectric layer 106 disposed on the firstcommon electrode 105. Thecolor filter substrate 101 is aligned and assembled with anarray substrate 102 to form a liquid crystal display device. - The thicknesses of the
dielectric layer 106 at at least two locations within each pixel unit are different. Furthermore, in at least one sub-pixel of each pixel unit, the thicknesses of thedielectric layer 106 at at least two locations are different. Specifically, in an example of the present embodiment, each pixel unit includes sub-pixels of three different colors, i.e. red, green and blue, the thicknesses of thedielectric layer 106 at the sub-pixels of at least one color of each pixel unit are different. In this case, the distributions of the equipotential lines between thepixel electrodes 103 on thearray substrate 102 corresponding to the locations of different thicknesses of thedielectric layer 106 and the secondcommon electrode 104 are different, so that the deflection directions of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal display device are dispersed, and the brightness of a same location on the liquid crystal display device when observed from different angles is substantially the same, thereby reducing the color shift. If thedielectric layer 106 has more locations having different thicknesses, the deflection directions of liquid crystal molecules will be further dispersed, and the color shift can be further reduced. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , as one case of the present embodiment, preferably, in each sub-pixel of each pixel unit, the thicknesses of thedielectric layer 106 at at least two locations are different. Further preferably, in each sub-pixel of each pixel unit, thedielectric layer 106 has two different thicknesses, wherein a peripheral area surrounding a central area of thedielectric layer 106 has a first thickness, the central area of thedielectric layer 106 has a second thickness, and the first thickness is larger than the second thickness. - Preferably, in each sub-pixel of each pixel unit, the
dielectric layer 106 is symmetry with respect to a central axis of the sub-pixel (parallel to the first substrate). In this case, the view angle of the liquid crystal display device can be made symmetry, and the display effect of the liquid crystal display device would be better. Meanwhile, thedielectric layer 106 has different thicknesses, so that the color shift can be reduced. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , as another case of the present embodiment, preferably, in at least one sub-pixel of each pixel unit, the thickness of thedielectric layer 106 changes gradually along a first direction. It should be noted that, here the first direction may be the direction where the gate lines are arranged, or may be the direction where the data lines are arranged. Further preferably, the angle between a surface of thedielectric layer 106 away from the firstcommon electrode 105 and the plane where the first substrate is located is α, and α ranges from 5 to 10 degrees. - Specifically, take the configuration where each pixel unit includes sub-pixels of three different colors red, green and blue, and the thickness of the dielectric layer at the sub-pixel of each color changes gradually along the first direction as an example, wherein at the red sub pixel, the angle between a surface of the
dielectric layer 106 away from the firstcommon electrode 105 and the plane where the first substrate is located is αR, at the green sub pixel, the angle between a surface of thedielectric layer 106 away from the firstcommon electrode 105 and the plane where the first substrate is located is αG, and at the blue sub pixel, the angle between a surface of thedielectric layer 106 away from the firstcommon electrode 105 and the plane where the first substrate is located is αB, each of αR, αG, αB ranges from 5 to 10 degrees. That is, thedielectric layer 106 disposed on the color filter films of red, green, blue sub-pixels has a structure in which the thickness is gradually increasing. In this case, the distributions of the equipotential lines between thepixel electrodes 103 on thearray substrate 102 corresponding to the locations of different thicknesses of thedielectric layer 106 in the same color sub-pixel and the secondcommon electrode 104 are different, so that the deflection directions of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal display device are dispersed, and the brightness of a same location on the liquid crystal display device when observed from different angles is substantially the same, thereby reducing the color shift. - As shown in
FIGS. 7 and 8 , when αR=αG=αB, there are two different cases as follows. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , preferably, the maximum thickness of thedielectric layer 106 at the red sub-pixel is dR, the maximum thickness of thedielectric layer 106 at the blue sub-pixel is dG, and the maximum thickness of thedielectric layer 106 at the green sub-pixel is dB, wherein dR>dG>dB. It should be noted that the transmittances (Tr) of the sub-pixels of different colors are relevant to the thicknesses (d) of thedielectric layer 106 and the transmittances of the color filter films of the sub-pixels of different colors. The transmittances of the color filter films of the sub-pixels of three different colors red, green and blue are respectively TrR, TrG, TrB, while the values of TrR, TrG, TrB are relevant to the color of corresponding color filter films, the transmittances of the color filter films of different colors are different. In order to achieve a maximum transmittance of the liquid crystal display device, the transmittance of the sub-pixels of each color in each pixel unit should reach a maximum value, but the transmittance of the color filter film of the sub-pixel of each color is constant, therefore it is required that thedielectric layer 106 at the sub-pixel of each color has different thicknesses. It will be appreciated to those skilled in the art that when the thickness of thedielectric layer 106 is 1.4 μm, the transmittance of a corresponding blue sub-pixel reaches a maximum value at a wavelength of 450 nm, and the blue light has highest transmittance at the wavelength of about 450 nm; accordingly, when the thickness of thedielectric layer 106 is 2.1 μm, the transmittance of a corresponding green sub-pixel reaches a maximum value at a wavelength of 550 nm, and the green light has highest transmittance at the wavelength of about 550 nm; accordingly, when the thickness of thedielectric layer 106 is 3.1 μm, the transmittance of a corresponding red sub-pixel reaches a maximum value at a wavelength of 650 nm, and the red light has highest transmittance at the wavelength of about 650 nm. As such, the maximum thickness of thedielectric layer 106 at the blue sub-pixel can be set to 1.4 μm, such that the ratio of the blue light transmitted through the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the blue sub-pixel becomes a maximum value, and accordingly more light can be transmitted through the blue color filter film; the maximum thickness of thedielectric layer 106 at the green sub-pixel can be set to 2.1 μm, such that the ratio of the green light transmitted through the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the green sub-pixel becomes a maximum value, and accordingly more light can be transmitted through the green color filter film; the maximum thickness of thedielectric layer 106 at the red sub-pixel can be set to 3.1 μm, such that the ratio of the red light transmitted through the liquid crystal layer corresponding to the red sub-pixel becomes a maximum value, and accordingly more light can be transmitted through the red color filter film. By adjusting the maximum thicknesses of thedielectric layer 106 at the red, green, and blue sub-pixels, the transmittance (Tr) of the entire liquid crystal display can reach a maximum value, such that the brightness of the liquid crystal display device can be improved and the power consumption of the liquid crystal display device can be reduced. Since the maximum thicknesses of thedielectric layer 106 at sub-pixels of different colors are different, the liquid crystal molecules in various angles can be observed from a certain angle outside the liquid crystal display device, thereby the color shift can be reduced. - In the present embodiment, as an example, each pixel unit of the
color filter substrate 101 includes the sub-pixels of three colors, i.e. red, green and blue, of course each pixel unit of thecolor filter substrate 101 may include sub-pixels of other colors. In this case, by adjusting the maximum thicknesses of thedielectric layer 106 at the sub-pixels of different colors, the transmittance of the liquid crystal display device can reach a maximum value, and since the maximum thicknesses of thedielectric layer 106 at sub-pixels of different colors are different, the color shift can be further reduced. - As shown in
FIG. 8 , it can also be set as dR=dG=dB, as long as at least parts of thedielectric layer 106 at sub-pixels of different colors have different thicknesses. In this case, the color shift can also be reduced. - As shown in
FIG. 9 , when αR>αG>αB, thedielectric layer 106 at the red sub-pixel has a largest inclination, thedielectric layer 106 at the green sub-pixel has a second largest inclination, and thedielectric layer 106 at the blue sub-pixel has a smallest inclination. In this case, the liquid crystal molecules corresponding to the red sub-pixel have the most dispersed deflection directions, the liquid crystal molecules corresponding to the green sub-pixel have lowered dispersion of the deflection directions, and the liquid crystal molecules corresponding to the blue sub-pixel have further lowered dispersion of the deflection directions, thus the color shift can be reduced effectively and the display effect of the liquid crystal display device can be improved. - Note that the
dielectric layer 106 of different thicknesses can be fabricated through conventional exposure process by using gray scale mask plate or halftone mask plate or the like. - It should be understood that above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments for illustrating the principle of the present invention; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various variations and improvements can be made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these variations and improvements should also be considered to be within the protection scope of the present invention.
