Description

广视角液晶显示器  Wide viewing angle liquid crystal display
[技术领域] [Technical field]
本发明涉及一种广视角液晶显示器(wide-viewing angle LCD)结构, 特别是涉及一种具有全视角效果的广视 角液晶显示器。  The present invention relates to a wide-viewing angle LCD structure, and more particularly to a wide viewing angle liquid crystal display having a full viewing angle effect.
[背景技术] [Background technique]
液晶显示器(LCD)具有许多的优点, 例如体积小、 重 量轻、 低电力消耗等等。 因此, LCD 已经广泛地被应用于 手提式电脑、 便携电话等等电子产品。 也就是说, LCD 已 经渐渐取代传统的阴极射线管(CRT)而成为显示器的主 流。 然而, 传统 LCD最大的缺点在于其视角窄。  Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have many advantages, such as small size, light weight, low power consumption, and the like. Therefore, LCDs have been widely used in electronic products such as portable computers, portable phones, and the like. That is to say, the LCD has gradually replaced the traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) and became the main stream of the display. However, the biggest drawback of conventional LCDs is their narrow viewing angle.
近年来有许多 LCD 广视角技术被提出, 其中之一就 是曰本富士通公司所提出的多区域垂直配向型液晶显示器 (multi-domain vertical alignment LCD , 简称 MVA LCD)。 图 1 A和第 I B图剖面示意图, 用来说明 MVA LCD的操作 模式。 图 1A 显示当没有存在额外电场或存在的电场小于 临界电压值(threshold voltage)时的 LCD 中液晶分子的状 态。包含有彩色滤光片的基底 100(以下简称为 CF基底 100) 和包含有薄膜电晶体的基底 102(以下简称为 TFT基底 102) 互相平行对向着。 突起(protrusion) 104 和 106 分别形成于 CF基底 100与 TFT基底 102上。 负介电异方型(以下简称 负型)液晶分子 108垂直地排列于 CF基底 100与 TFT基底 102 之间, 因而构成一液晶层 1 10。 因为局部效应(local effects) , 靠近突起 104和 106的液晶分子 108会朝着特定 方向倾斜, 因而造成有预倾角(pre-tilts:)。 图 I B 显示当存在的额外电场大于临界电压值时的 LCD 中液晶分子的状态。 由于上述强电场, 使得负型液晶 分子 108 的配向(orientation)被改变, 而该等液晶分子 108 的指向(director)垂直于电场的方向。 所以, 由于在突起 104/ 106 两侧的液晶分子 108 的倾斜方向是相反的, 使得 在同一像素中有不同的液晶排列。 换句话说, 就是每一像 素中的突起 104/106 把像素分割成两个或两的以上的区域 (domain) , 因而增加视角。 In recent years, many LCD wide viewing angle technologies have been proposed, one of which is the multi-domain vertical alignment LCD (MVA LCD) proposed by Sakamoto Fujitsu. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the A and IB diagrams illustrating the mode of operation of the MVA LCD. Fig. 1A shows the state of liquid crystal molecules in the LCD when there is no additional electric field or the electric field present is less than a threshold voltage. The substrate 100 including the color filter (hereinafter referred to simply as the CF substrate 100) and the substrate 102 including the thin film transistor (hereinafter simply referred to as the TFT substrate 102) are opposed to each other in parallel. Protrusions 104 and 106 are formed on the CF substrate 100 and the TFT substrate 102, respectively. The negative dielectric heterotype (hereinafter referred to as negative) liquid crystal molecules 108 are vertically arranged between the CF substrate 100 and the TFT substrate 102, thereby constituting a liquid crystal layer 110. Because of local effects, the liquid crystal molecules 108 near the protrusions 104 and 106 are inclined toward a specific direction, thereby causing a pre-tilts:. Figure IB shows the state of the liquid crystal molecules in the LCD when the additional electric field present is greater than the threshold voltage. Due to the above strong electric field, the orientation of the negative liquid crystal molecules 108 is changed, and the director of the liquid crystal molecules 108 is perpendicular to the direction of the electric field. Therefore, since the tilt directions of the liquid crystal molecules 108 on both sides of the protrusions 104/106 are opposite, there are different liquid crystal alignments in the same pixel. In other words, the protrusions 104/106 in each pixel divide the pixel into two or more domains, thus increasing the viewing angle.
图 2是传统 MVA LCD 200的部分平面图, 其显示形 成于 CF基底 100上的突起 104为一第一 W型图案, 形成 于 TFT基底 102上的突起 106 为一第二 W型图案, 第一 W 型图案与第二 W 型图案间隔地排列着, 还有一共同线 (common line)220 穿越每一像素单元 210 的中间部分。 虽 然习知 MVA LCD 200中的每一像素单元 210被分割成四 个区域, 由于液晶排列仍仅倾斜于 4 个特定方向, 所以在 ± 45。和 ± 135 °方位上的对比表现不佳。  2 is a partial plan view of a conventional MVA LCD 200, showing that the protrusions 104 formed on the CF substrate 100 are a first W-type pattern, and the protrusions 106 formed on the TFT substrate 102 are a second W-type pattern, the first W The pattern is spaced apart from the second W-pattern, and a common line 220 traverses the middle portion of each pixel unit 210. Although it is known that each pixel unit 210 in the MVA LCD 200 is divided into four regions, since the liquid crystal alignment is still inclined only in four specific directions, it is ±45. The contrast with the ± 135 ° orientation is not good.
在美国专利第 6532054号中,Ohmuro有揭示一种 MVA LCD , 在该专利中的图 16 和图 17有教导突出物并不是沿 着固定方向延伸, 因而具有全方位的视角。 尽管该方法能 够增加视角范围, 然而该专利并未教导本案的 MVA LCD 结构。  In U.S. Patent No. 6,532,054, Ohmuro discloses an MVA LCD, and Figures 16 and 17 of the patent teach that the protrusions do not extend in a fixed direction and thus have a full range of viewing angles. Although this method can increase the range of viewing angles, the patent does not teach the MVA LCD structure of the present invention.
