- RGB color system a color system that is a system for quantitatively expressing colors
- RGB color system using three primary colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B).
- R red
- G green
- B blue
- RGB color system not all perceptible colors can be expressed completely, and a single wavelength color found in, for example, laser light is outside the RGB color system. If a negative value is permitted for the coefficient of the RGB value, an arbitrary color can be represented even in the RGB color system, but inconvenience arises in handling. In general, therefore, an XYZ color system in which the RGB color system is improved is used.
- a desired color is represented by a combination of tristimulus values (X value, Y value, Z value).
- X values, Y values, and Z values that are new stimulus values are obtained by adding the original R value, G value, and B value to each other.
- Y value corresponds to brightness stimulus. That is, the Y value can be used as a representative value of brightness.
- the X value is a stimulus value mainly representing red, but also contains a certain amount of color stimulus in the blue wavelength region.
- the Z value is a color stimulus mainly representing blue.

- FIG. 13B shows a polar angle ⁇ and an azimuth angle ⁇ with respect to the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1.
- the polar angle ⁇ is an angle formed between the normal direction passing through the center of the display screen and the line-of-sight direction
- the azimuth is the screen horizontal direction (normally passing through the center of the display screen) Is the angle formed by the orthogonal projection of the line of sight on the display screen.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing gradation-XYZ value characteristics at an oblique viewing angle, that is, a polar angle of 60 degrees, of the liquid crystal display device 1 according to the comparative example.
- the area ratio of the bright pixels 8a, 10a, and 12a to the dark pixels 8b, 10b, and 12b is 2: 3
- the capacitance of each capacitor Cd is the liquid crystal of each pixel. The condition of 0.153 times the capacity is satisfied.
- the gradation-X value graph and the gradation-Y value graph are similar to each other.
- the gradation-Z value graph is a curve in which the Z value is smaller than the X value and the Y value, particularly in the intermediate gradation near the gradation 100.
- the Z value is mainly a color stimulus represented by blue
- the blue corresponding to the original gradation is not used.
- a lighter blue color will be displayed. That is, since the blue component of the display image is reduced, the image appears yellowish. As a result, the viewing angle characteristic for the color tone is degraded.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the gradation-xy value characteristic at the polar angle of 60 degrees of the liquid crystal display device 1 according to the comparative example.
- the x and y values here are chromaticity coordinates used in the xyY color system, which is a new color system based on the XYZ color system.
- x X / (X + Y + Z), which satisfies the relationship
- y Y / (X + Y + Z). As shown in FIG.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the gradation-local ⁇ characteristics at a polar angle of 60 degrees of the liquid crystal display device 1 according to the comparative example.
- local ⁇ is a value indicating a local gradient of luminance.
- the maximum luminance in the optical characteristics measured from a predetermined angle with respect to the normal direction of the display screen is T
- the luminance based on the gradation value a from the same direction as the predetermined angle is Ta
- the gradation value b (a If the luminance based on (a value different from b) is Tb, the local ⁇ value is calculated as in Equation 1 below.
- the viewing angle characteristics of the liquid crystal display device 1 are such that the ⁇ value is 2.2, which is the same as the front, over all gradations (0 to 255 gradations).
- the X-value local ⁇ peak and the Y-value local ⁇ peak overlap each other. Specifically, there is a peak around 90 gradations. On the other hand, the local ⁇ peak of the Z value is shifted from these two peaks. Specifically, there is a peak around 125 gradations. In this way, as a result of the Z value local ⁇ peak deviating from that of the X value and the Y value, when the display screen is observed obliquely, the display image near the halftone is colored yellow.
- each of the R pixel 8, the G pixel 10, and the B pixel 12 includes a bright pixel and a dark pixel.
- a voltage difference is generated between the liquid crystal capacitance Clc1 of each bright pixel and the liquid crystal capacitance Clc2 of each dark pixel, whereby viewing angle characteristics at an oblique viewing angle.
- viewing angle characteristics are improved.
- only the bright pixels 8a, 10a, and 12a are substantially lit in the low gradation, and the dark pixels 8b, 10b, and 12b start to rise from the halftone gradation. Viewing angle characteristics are improved by applying a voltage to the liquid crystal layer.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between the voltage (horizontal axis) applied to the liquid crystal layer of each pixel and the X value, Y value, and Z value (vertical axis). As shown in this figure, when the applied voltage increases beyond a certain value, in this figure exceeding about 6V, generally only the Z value representing blue is reduced.
- the value of the voltage applied to the pixel for each gradation is designed in advance.
- the minimum voltage value that makes a difference between whether to increase or not to increase the pixel transmittance at the time of application is set as the lower limit, while the pixel transmittance at the time of application is set to the maximum value (saturated value).
- a voltage range with an upper limit of the voltage value to be increased is set. Such a voltage range is set for each pixel color (red, green, and blue in this embodiment).
- the X value and the Y value draw a curve that gradually increases so that the gamma characteristic becomes 2.2 between about 2V and about 8V.
- about 2V is assigned to 0 gradation
- about 8V is assigned to 255 gradation.
- the voltages for the other gradations are assigned in the range of about 2V to about 8V according to the magnitude of the gradation.
- the Z value draws a curve that reaches the maximum value at about 6V.
- about 2V is assigned to 0 gradation
- about 6V is assigned to 255 gradation.
- the voltages for the other gradations are assigned in accordance with the magnitude of the gradation within the range of about 2V to about 6V.
- the voltage range (arrow A) for setting the red and green gradations is different from the voltage range (arrow B) for setting the blue gradation.
- the voltage range set for only the bright pixel is constant regardless of the display color of the pixel. In other words, there is no difference in the voltage range in which only the bright pixels 8a, 10a, and 12a are rising, but both the bright pixels 8a, 10a, and 12a and the dark pixels 8b, 10b, and 12b are rising (shining).
- the voltage range varies from pixel to pixel. That is, only the voltage range in which the dark pixel 12b of the B pixel 12 rises becomes narrow. As a result, the local ⁇ peak of the Z value deviates from that of the X and Y values. Therefore, the characteristics shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 are obtained, and color misregistration occurs at an oblique viewing angle.
- the capacitance of the capacitor CdB of the B pixel 12 is made smaller than the capacitance of the capacitor CdR of the R pixel 8 and the capacitance of the capacitor CdG of the G pixel 10.
- the liquid crystal display device 1 is designed. The reason why the color misregistration problem can be solved by this design will be described below.

上記キャパシタの容量の値が、当該キャパシタに対応する上記画素領域が表示する色ごとに互いに異なることを特徴としている。
図1は、本実施形態に係る3TFT駆動方式において駆動する液晶表示装置1における、マルチ画素構造を有する画素の等価回路を示す図である。図1に示すように、液晶表示装置1は、複数のゲートバスライン2、複数のソースバスライン4、複数のCSバスライン6(補助容量配線)、複数のスイッチング素子TFT1、複数のスイッチング素子TFT2、複数のスイッチング素子TFT3、複数の補助容量Cs1、複数の補助容量Cs2、複数の液晶容量Clc1、複数の液晶容量Clc2、および複数のキャパシタ(電荷再配分用容量)Cdを備えている。液晶表示装置1には複数の画素が形成されており、各画素をマルチ画素駆動方式によって駆動する。各画素はいずれも液晶層と、当該液晶層に電圧を印加する電極とを有し、行および列を有するマトリックス状に配列されている。
特に図示はしないが、液晶表示装置1には、各ゲートバスライン2に走査信号を供給するゲートドライバと、各ソースバスライン4にデータ信号を供給するソースドライバと、各CSバスライン6に補助容量駆動信号を供給するCSドライバとが、それぞれ接続されている。これらのドライバはいずれも、図示しない制御回路から出力された制御信号に基づいて動作する。
複数のゲートバスライン2および複数のソースバスライン4は、図示しない絶縁膜を介して、互いに交差して形成されている。液晶表示装置1では、1つのゲートバスライン2と1つのソースバスライン4とによって画定される領域ごとに、1つの画素が形成される。当該画素は、複数の互いに異なる種類の原色のうちいずれかを個別に表示する。本実施形態では原色は赤色、緑色、および青色を含む。したがって液晶表示装置1内には、赤色を表示するR画素8、緑色を表示するG画素10、および青色を表示するB画素12がそれぞれ形成されている。これらの画素を組み合わせて用いることによって、所望のカラー画像を表示する。
R画素8、G画素10、およびB画素12は、いずれも、それぞれ液晶層に互いに異なる電圧を印加することができる2つ副画素(明画素および暗画素)を有している。R画素8は明画素8aおよび暗画素8bを有し、G画素10は明画素10aおよび暗画素10bを有し、B画素12は明画素12aおよび暗画素12bを有している。
各副画素は、いずれも、対向電極と、液晶層を介して当該対向電極に対向する副画素電極とによって形成される液晶容量Clcを有している。さらに、副画素電極に電気的に接続された補助容量電極と、絶縁層と、当該絶縁層を介して補助容量電極と対向する補助容量対向電極とによって形成された、少なくとも1つの補助容量Csも有している。
R画素8、G画素10、およびB画素12には、いずれも、TFT(薄膜トランジスタ)1、およびTFT2がそれぞれ形成されている。各補助容量Csの補助容量電極は、それぞれ対応するTFT1またはTFT2のドレイン電極に接続されている。TFT1およびTFT2のゲート電極は共通のゲートバスライン2lに接続されており、TFT1およびTFT2のソース電極は共通のソースバスライン4に接続されている。すなわち、図1に示すように、R画素8のTFT1RおよびTFT2Rのソース電極は、ソースバスライン4mに接続されている。同様に、G画素10のTFT1GおよびTFT2Gのソース電極は、ソースバスライン4(m+1)に接続されており、B画素12のTFT1BおよびTFT2Bのソース電極は、ソースバスライン4(m+2)に接続されている。
また、R画素8、G画素10、およびB画素12には、いずれも、対応するTFT3がそれぞれ形成されている。TFT3のゲート電極は、当該画素の次段のゲートバスライン、すなわちゲートバスライン2(l+1)に電気的に接続されている。各TFT3のドレイン電極は、コンタクトホールを介して各暗画素8b、10b、および12bの画素電極に電気的に接続されている。3TFT駆動方式の液晶表示装置1においては、ゲートバスライン2lが選択されて各明画素8a、10a、および12aの液晶容量Clc1に電荷が蓄えられた後に、時間差で次のゲートバスライン2(l+1)が選択されTFT3がオン状態となることによって、電荷の再配分が生じ、各明画素の液晶容量Clc1と各暗画素の液晶容量Clc2との間に電圧差を生じさせている。これにより、各画素内に明画素8a、10a、12aおよび暗画素8b、10b、12bを形成させている。
ゲートバスライン2およびソースバスライン4により画定された画素領域を横切るように、CSバスライン6がゲートバスライン2に並列して延びている。各CSバスライン6は、液晶表示装置1における同一行に形成されたR画素8、G画素10、およびB画素12に共通して設けられる。CSバスライン6nは、各補助容量Cs1R、Cs2R、Cs1G、Cs2G、Cs1B、およびCs2Bに接続される。CSドライバは、R画素8、G画素10、およびB画素12にそれぞれ形成される各補助容量に対して、CSバスライン6nを通じて互いに同一振幅の電圧を印加する。
まず、色を定量的に表す体系である表色系について説明する。代表的な表色系として、赤(R)、緑(G)、および青(B)の三原色を用いたRGB表色系がある。しかし、RGB表色系では知覚可能な色の全てを必ずしも完全に表色できるわけではなく、例えばレーザー光などに見られる単一波長の色はRGB表色系の外側にある。RGB値の係数に負の値を許可すれば、RGB表色系においても任意の色を表色できるようになるが、取り扱いに不便さが生じる。そこで一般には、RGB表色系を改善したXYZ表色系が用いられる。
通常、液晶表示装置においては、正面視角(0度方向)において表示画面の色度が一定になるように調整されている。図2は、正面視角における、階調-三刺激値(X値、Y値、Z値)との関係(特性)を示す図である。この図に示すように、正面視角においては、階調とX値、Y値、Z値との関係は、いずれも約2.2のγ(ガンマ)値を有する曲線となっている。したがって、液晶表示装置の表示画面を正面から観察した場合は、色ずれの問題は特に発生しない。
しかし、VAモードの液晶表示装置は、液晶層複屈折率効果を利用しており、液晶層のリタデーションが波長分散を持つため、光の波長によって透過率が変わる。また、液晶層のリタデーションは正面視角よりも斜め視角において見かけ上大きくなるので、斜め視角では透過率変動の光波長依存性が正面視角よりも増加する。この結果、斜め方向から画面を観察すると、色ずれの問題が発生する。
図3は、比較例に係る液晶表示装置1の、斜め視角すなわち極角60度における階調―XYZ値特性を示す図である。ここでいう比較例に係る液晶表示装置1では、各明画素8a、10a、12aと各暗画素8b、10b、12bとの面積比が2:3、および各キャパシタCdの容量が各画素の液晶容量の0.153倍の条件を満たしている。
図4は、比較例に係る液晶表示装置1の、極角60度における階調―xy値特性を示す図である。ここでいうx値およびy値は、XYZ表色系に基づく新たな表色系であるxyY表色系において用いられる色度座標である。x=X/(X+Y+Z)であり、y=Y/(X+Y+Z)の関係を満たす。図4に示すように、x値およびy値とも、80階調~130階調にかけての中間階調において、階調の変化に対する色度の変化の度合いが、他の階調範囲に比べてずれている。すなわち、図4を参照しても、色ずれが起こっていることがわかる。
図5は、比較例に係る液晶表示装置1の、極角60度における階調―localγ特性を示す図である。ここでいうlocalγは、輝度の局所的な傾きを示す値である。表示画面の法線方向に対して所定の角度から測定した光学特性における最大輝度をTとし、当該所定の角度と同方向からの、階調値aに基づく輝度をTa、階調値b(aとbとは異なる値)に基づく輝度をTbとすると、localγ値は下記の数式1のように算出される。
図3~図5を参照して説明したように、比較例に係る液晶表示装置1では、斜め視角すなわち極角60度における視野角特性が低下してしまう。この原因について図6を参照して以下に詳しく説明する。
図7は、本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置1における、最低階調から最高階調をカバーする全電圧範囲における、明画素のみが光る電圧範囲と、明画素および暗画素の両方が光る電圧範囲とを、原色ごとに示す図である。
図7に示す電圧割り当てを実現するために、液晶表示装置1においては、ある階調において、明画素の液晶層に印加される電圧と暗画素の液晶層に印加される電圧との差(「ΔVα」という)を、画素の表示色に応じて互いに異ならせる。その際、各画素に対応するキャパシタCdの値を、当該画素が表示する色に応じて異ならせることによって、ΔVαの値を画素の表示色に応じて異ならせることができる。必ずしも全てのCdの値が異なっている必要は無く、ある特定の原色を表示する画素に対応するCdの値だけを、他の任意の原色を表示する画素に対応するCdの値と異ならせても良い。
図8は、本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置1の、極角60度における階調―XYZ値特性を示す図である。ここでいう液晶表示装置1では、B画素12のキャパシタCdBの容量が、G画素10のキャパシタCdGの容量の0.4倍よりも大きく1.0倍よりも小さい。これにより、B画素12のΔVαを、R画素8およびG画素10のΔVαよりも小さくする。
図8に示すように、極角60度においては、階調-XYZ値特性は、いずれも互いに類似した曲線となっている。すなわち、図3に示す例とは異なり、階調-Z値特性の曲線において、特に階調100付近の中間階調のZ値がX値およびY値に比べて低下していない。
図9は、本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置1の、極角60度における階調―xy値特性を示す図である。この図に示す例では、図4の例と異なり、80階調~130階調にかけての中間階調におけるx値およびy値のずれがなくなっている。
図10は、本実施形態に係る液晶表示装置1の、極角60度における階調―localγ特性を示す図である。この図の例では、X値のlocalγのピークと、Y値のlocalγのピークと、Z値のlocalγのピークとが、互いに重なりあっている。
図11は、マクベスチャート24色のうちのグレースケール6色(No.19~24)の、各画素(赤色(R)、緑色(G)、青色(B))の階調を示す図である。この図に示す値は、C光源が2度視野の場合の設計値である。図12は、図11に示す6色を表示した時の正面方向と斜め方向(60度方向)とにおける、u’v’色度の座標間距離(Δu’v’)を示す図である。縦軸はΔu’v’を示し、横軸は、B画素12のキャパシタCdBの容量CBとG画素10のキャパシタCdGの容量CGとの比率を示す。すなわち、CGを固定の値とした場合、横軸の値が大きくなるほどCBの値が大きくなる。
液晶表示装置1においては、R画素8のキャパシタCdRの容量CR、またはG画素10のキャパシタCdGの容量CGの値が、R画素8の液晶容量またはG画素10の液晶容量の実質的に0.153倍であり、B画素12のキャパシタCdBの容量CBの値が、B画素12の液晶容量の実質的に0.086倍であってもよい。この最適な数値により、視野角特性をより改善できる。
