Definitions
- the present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device that employs a driving method using thin film transistors.
- a liquid crystal display (LCD) device is a device that performs display by controlling the optical characteristics of light emitted from a light source by using a liquid crystal layer filled between a pair of substrates. Utilizing the features such as light weight and low power consumption, it is used in various fields.
- a liquid crystal display device applies a voltage to a liquid crystal layer by a pair of electrodes formed on a substrate to change the alignment state of liquid crystal molecules, and changes the polarization state of light transmitted through the liquid crystal layer.
- a plurality of color filters are arranged to perform color display.
- a pair of substrates sandwiching the liquid crystal layer is held at a constant interval (cell gap) by a spacer, and is bonded to each other by a sealing material.
- sub-pixels of three colors of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) are usually formed.
- a color filter of each color is arranged for each sub-pixel, and color control is performed in units of pixels (pixels) by adjusting light transmitted through the color filter of each color.
- pixel electrodes are usually arranged in a matrix, and each pixel electrode is driven through a switch by a thin film transistor (TFT).
- TFT thin film transistor
- the TFT is a three-terminal field effect transistor, and the drain electrode of each TFT is connected to a pixel electrode corresponding to the TFT.
- the gate electrode of each TFT is connected to the gate bus line in each row of the matrix.
- the source electrode of each TFT is connected to the source bus line of each column of the matrix.
- a desired image can be obtained by applying an image signal to the source bus line and sequentially scanning the gate bus line.
- Some liquid crystal display devices may have a multi-gap configuration in which the thickness (cell gap) of the liquid crystal layer varies depending on the subpixel of each color.
- cell gaps of different sizes give different capacitance values to the pixel electrodes, in order to make the pixel capacitances between subpixels equal, (a) the pixel electrode areas are made equal, and the storage capacitors are made different. It is necessary to devise such as (b) making the pixel electrode areas different and making the storage capacitors equal (for example, see Patent Document 3).
- one pixel is divided into multiple sub-pixels in order to eliminate the problem of viewing angle dependency due to the difference between the ⁇ characteristic during frontal observation and the ⁇ characteristic during oblique observation.
- the adjustment may be made so that the respective ⁇ characteristics approach each other (for example, see Patent Document 4).
- the ⁇ characteristic is the gradation dependence of display luminance, and the fact that the ⁇ characteristic is different between the front direction and the diagonal direction means that the gradation display state differs depending on the observation direction.
- Patent Document 5 a method of equalizing the capacitance ratio of each pixel by changing the thickness of the storage capacitor wiring in order to compensate for the change in the capacitance of each pixel due to the spacer being formed in the sub-pixel. Is being considered.

- the signal waveform on the left side in FIG. 70 is a waveform diagram of a pixel having a large pixel capacity when the gate drain capacitance is constant, and the signal waveform on the right side in FIG. 70 is a pixel capacity when the gate drain capacitance is constant. It is a waveform diagram of a small picture element. As shown in FIG. 70, the effective value of the drain voltage (Vd) is different for each pixel. This is because the magnitude of the pull-in voltage ( ⁇ Vd) differs between the picture elements, and the polarity of the drain voltage (Vd (+), Vd ( ⁇ )) is changed at each timing when the pixel electrode is AC driven. Because it changes.
- the counter electrode Since the counter electrode is not formed for each pixel, the counter voltage is all set to a common magnitude. Therefore, the value of the optimum counter voltage determined by the value of the drain voltage (Vd (+), Vd ( ⁇ )) after drawing has a different value for each pixel, and all the pixels are shared. It becomes difficult to drive appropriately with the counter voltage.

In a panel having pixel electrodes having the same pixel capacity between picture elements, the in-plane facing distribution can be improved by such adjustment.
- the correction by the Cgd gradation is a correction amount of 1 Step (a correction amount from the gate / drain capacitance formed with the scanning line by the pixel electrode to which the scanning line signal is first applied without correction to the next Step after correction. This is determined by the overlapping area of the electrodes with the scanning line (also referred to as a Cgd correction amount in this specification) and how many pixels the correction amount is retained.
- the amount of increase in correction increases as the number of pixels held decreases, and conversely decreases as the number of pixels held increases.
- the Cgd correction amount can also be negative.
- ⁇ Vd between the picture elements is caused due to the difference in pixel capacity at a location where the correction amount in the panel surface is large to some extent.
- the difference is further increased, and the optimum counter voltage between the picture elements varies.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described situation, and provides a liquid crystal display device in which burn-in is unlikely to occur even if the pixel capacity between picture elements is different in a panel performing Cgd gradation. It is the purpose.
- the present inventors have studied various methods for aligning the optimum counter voltage between the pixels in order to suppress burn-in. As a result, one of the factors necessary for adjusting the optimum counter voltage is the above-described ⁇ Vd. Focused on. By bringing the magnitude of ⁇ Vd closer between the picture elements, the optimum counter voltage is also matched between the picture elements.
- Vg pp represents the change in gate voltage when the TFT is off, as shown in FIG. Since Vg pp needs to be maintained at a certain value to some extent, adjustment of ⁇ is necessary to change the value of ⁇ Vd.

It has been found that the value of ⁇ can be effectively adjusted by making the drain capacitance larger than the gate drain capacitance formed by the pixel electrode having a smaller pixel capacitance.
- the Cgd correction amount ( ⁇ Cgd) usually increases initially in accordance with the traveling direction of the signal of the scanning line, and the increase rate decreases due to the signal delay characteristic in the gate wiring. Will form.
- a gate / drain capacitance formed by a pixel electrode having a larger pixel capacitance is a gate drain formed by a pixel electrode having a smaller pixel capacitance among a plurality of pixel electrodes arranged in one pixel. Since it is larger than the capacitance, Cdg ( ⁇ ) can be adjusted appropriately by combining the difference in ⁇ Vd based on the difference in pixel capacitance, and the overlapping area of the pixel electrode with the scanning line can be reduced to a monochrome pixel. For each pixel electrode arranged corresponding to the pixel line, the pixel electrode is formed so as to increase in the first direction in accordance with the traveling direction of the signal of the scanning line and decrease in the increase rate.
- the Cdg correction amount of each pixel electrode can also be appropriately set according to the area of the pixel electrode, and thereby the optimum counter voltage value for each pixel. I found that I can get closer. Then, it has been found that the occurrence of burn-in can be suppressed, and the inventors have conceived that the above-mentioned problems can be solved brilliantly, and have reached the present invention.

Abstract
Description
これら4原色又は4原色以上の液晶表示装置においては、表示に用いる原色の数を増やすことにより、特に赤色の明度の低下によって、視認性が損なわれることになる。また、白表示の色調を調節するために、高色温度の光源が用いられると、赤表示の明度は更に低下し、これに伴って、視認性は更に損なわれる。上記好ましい形態とすれば、明るい赤を表示することができる結果、視認性を向上させることができ、それによって本発明の構成と相まって、本発明の効果を相乗的に得ることができる。
図1は、実施形態1の液晶表示装置において、Cgdグラデーションを設けなかった場合のRGB3原色それぞれの面内対向分布を示すグラフである。
図1中、一点鎖線は、G(緑)の面内対向分布101を示し、点線は、B(青)の面内対向分布101を示し、破線は、R(赤)の面内対向分布101を示す。位置xは、信号が走査線に入力されるパネル平面上の横軸の位置を0としたときの走査線信号側の位置を示す。
図1に示したように、絵素によってΔVdに差Aがある場合、Cgdグラデーションを設けなかったときは、RGB3原色それぞれの面内対向分布101が異なることになる。これに対してCgdグラデーションを設ける図(図26~図29、並びに、図31~図32)については後述する通りである。
図6は、実施例1の1画素あたりのカラーフィルタの平面模式図である。図6に示すように、実施例1においてカラーフィルタは、赤(R)、緑(G)及び青(B)の3色のカラーフィルタが配置されている。実施例1におけるカラーフィルタは、ストライプ配列であり、パネルの縦方向に同色の絵素が形成される。
図12は、実施例2の1画素あたりのカラーフィルタの平面模式図である。図12に示すように、実施例2におけるカラーフィルタは、ストライプ配列であり、パネルの縦方向に同色の絵素が形成される。また、実施例2においてカラーフィルタは、赤(R)、緑(G)及び青(B)の3色が用いられている。色の配置順は特に限定されない。実施例2では、赤(R)のピッチ幅が、緑(G)のピッチ幅よりも青(B)のピッチ幅よりも狭い。緑(G)のピッチ幅と青(B)のピッチ幅とは同じである。
図13は、実施例3の1画素あたりのカラーフィルタの平面模式図である。図13に示すように、実施例3におけるカラーフィルタは、ストライプ配列であり、パネルの縦方向に同色の絵素が形成される。また、実施例3においてカラーフィルタは、赤(R)、緑(G)及び青(B)の3色が用いられている。色の配置順は特に限定されない。実施例3では、赤(R)のピッチ幅が青(B)のピッチ幅よりも狭く、青(B)のピッチ幅が緑(G)のピッチ幅よりも狭い。
図14は、実施例4の1画素あたりのカラーフィルタの平面模式図である。図14に示すように、実施例4におけるカラーフィルタは、ストライプ配列であり、パネルの縦方向に同色の絵素が形成される。また、実施例4においてカラーフィルタは、赤(R)、緑(G)、青(B)、及び、黄(Y)の4色が用いられている。色の配置順は特に限定されない。実施例4では、緑(G)のピッチ幅と黄(Y)のピッチ幅とは同じであり、赤(R)のピッチ幅と青(B)のピッチ幅とは同じである。緑(G)及び黄(Y)のピッチ幅は、赤(R)及び青(B)のピッチ幅よりも狭い。
図15及び図16は、実施例5の1画素あたりのカラーフィルタの平面模式図である。図15に示すように、実施例5におけるカラーフィルタは、ストライプ配列であり、パネルの縦方向に同色の絵素が形成される。また、実施例5においてカラーフィルタは、赤(R)、緑(G)、青(B)、及び、黄(Y)の4色が用いられている。色の配置順は特に限定されない。実施例5では、緑(G)のピッチ幅と黄(Y)のピッチ幅とは同じである。赤(R)のピッチ幅は、緑(G)及び黄(Y)のいずれのピッチ幅よりも大きく、青(B)のピッチ幅もまた、緑(G)及び黄(Y)のいずれのピッチ幅よりも大きい。
図17~図20は、実施例6の1画素あたりのカラーフィルタの平面模式図である。図17~図20に示すように、実施例6におけるカラーフィルタは、ストライプ配列であり、パネルの縦方向に同色の絵素が形成される。また、実施例6においてカラーフィルタは、赤(R)、緑(G)、青(B)、及び、黄(Y)の4色が用いられている。色の配置順は特に限定されない。実施例6では、赤のピッチ幅は、緑及び黄のいずれのピッチ幅よりも大きく、青のピッチ幅もまた、緑及び黄のいずれのピッチ幅よりも大きい。緑のピッチ幅と黄のピッチ幅との関係、及び、赤のピッチ幅と青のピッチ幅との関係は、いずれが大きい形態も想定される。図17は、ピッチ幅が黄<緑<青<赤の形態であり、図18は、ピッチ幅が緑<黄<青<赤の形態であり、図19は、ピッチ幅が黄<緑<赤<青の形態であり、図20は、ピッチ幅が緑<黄<赤<青の形態である。
図21及び図22は、実施例7の1画素あたりのカラーフィルタの平面模式図である。図21及び図22に示すように、実施例7におけるカラーフィルタは、赤、緑、青及び黄の4色絵素による田の字配列であり、縦方向及び横方向のそれぞれに2つずつ形成された計4つのマスによって一つの絵素が構成される。色の配置順は特に限定されない。各絵素の面積は、実施例4~6のいずれのパターンも適用することができる。すなわち、実施例7は、ストライプ配列が田の字配列となったこと以外は、同様である。なお、田の字配列であれば、ストライプ配列の場合と異なり、画素が横方向に並ぶ絵素のみならず、縦方向に並ぶ絵素によっても構成される。したがって、図21のように、縦方向のピッチ幅が異なる場合もあれば、図22のように、横方向のピッチ幅が異なる場合も想定される。
実施例5の液晶表示装置においては、異なる絵素ピッチをもつ4色の絵素において、絵素のピッチ幅を「青」>「赤」>「緑=黄」とした場合に、それぞれの絵素間でのa~eの値を下記表1のように調整することで、絵素間でのαのズレ(max-min)を、3.88%とすることができた。また、ΔVdは、赤の絵素で1.838V、緑及び黄の絵素で1.901V、青の絵素で1.910Vとなっており、ΔVdの最大値と最小値との間の差は、72mVであった。後述する実施例8及び実施例9では、更にCgdグラデーションを設定するとともに絵素間のαの値を調整することになる。なお、グラデーションを設定しない場合は、面内対向分布が生じることになり、表示画像にフリッカや表示劣化が生じるおそれがある。なお、ここでの各絵素のピッチ幅の比は、「赤」:「緑」:「黄」:「青」が1.4:1:1:1.7であった。
上記表1に示した各絵素を有する液晶表示装置において、各絵素に対して等しいΔCgd/Cpixをかけるようにグラデーションを設定した場合の各絵素の情報を、下記表2に示す。なお、Cdgグラデーションを設定するために、走査線の信号進行方向に沿ってゲート電極の長さを変動させ、ゲート電極とドレイン電極との重なり面積を変動させている。この変動するゲート電極26の長さは、gである。また、ゲートバスライン11の一部から延伸されたゲート電極25のゲートバスライン11と平行な方向の長さはfである。1Step当たりの補正量(Cgd補正量)は、1Stepにつきgの大きさを増減させた大きさである。全Step数は、当該補正のうち、gの大きさを増加させる補正を行った段数である。最大補正量は、gの最大値である。1Step当たりのΔVd補正量(mV)は、1Step当たりのgの増減に伴うΔVdの増減量である。最大補正量(mV)は、gが最大値となったときのΔVd補正量であり、ΔVd補正量の最大値である。最適対向ズレ(mV)は、グラデーションを設定する前の面内対向分布の最大値と最小値の差である。最大補正量をかけた位置でのΔVd(V)は、gが最大値となったとき(パネル面内で、gが最大となる位置)のΔVdの値である。
実施例8の液晶表示装置においては、それぞれの絵素間でのgの値を上記表2に示したように調整することで、最大補正量のときのΔVd補正量差を、赤の絵素で154.1mV、緑及び黄の絵素で157.8mV、青の絵素で163.5mVとすることができ、最大補正量のときのΔVd補正量差の絵素間での最大値と最小値との間の差は、9.4mVであった。また、最適対向ズレは324mVであり、最大補正量のときのΔVdを、赤の絵素で1.668V、緑及び黄の絵素で1.735V、青の絵素で1.750Vとすることができ、最大補正量のときのΔVdの最大値と最小値との間の差は、82mVであった。αズレ(αの最大値とαの最小値との差の、αの最小値に対する割合)は、4.19%であった。したがって、上記設計によれば、最適対向電圧の絵素間での調整が充分に行われ、焼きつきの発生が抑制された液晶表示装置を得ることができた。
図26は、実施例8の変形例の液晶表示装置において設けたCgdグラデーション102を示すグラフである。図26中、実線は、R(赤)、G(緑)及びB(青)において設けたCgd補正量(Cgdグラデーション)を示す。
図27は、実施例8の変形例の液晶表示装置において、Cgdグラデーションを設けた場合のRGB3原色それぞれの面内対向分布を示すグラフである。図27に示されるように、Cgdグラデーションが面内対向分布103を十分に低減できる程度にかけられた場合、各絵素における面内対向分布103はそれぞれほぼ一定になり、各絵素間のΔVd差はCgdグラデーションを設けなかった場合と略同一とすることができた。図27中、一点鎖線は、G(緑)の面内対向分布103を示し、点線は、B(青)の面内対向分布103を示し、破線は、R(赤)の面内対向分布103を示す。実施例8の変形例においては、図27に示されるように、ΔVdを揃えたとしてもAだけずれていた場合、画素ごとに面内対向分布103が平行移動したようになる。これに対して画素容量の差を考慮してCgd/Cpixが等しくなるようにCgdグラデーションをかけ、かつその量が最適対向ずれを実質的に完全に補償する量であれば、面内対向分布103は一定で、ΔVd差Aをもつようになる。
図28は、実施例8のもう一つの変形例の液晶表示装置において設けたCgdグラデーションを示すグラフである。図28中、実線は、R(赤)、G(緑)及びB(青)において設けたCgd補正量を示す。
図29は、実施例8のもう一つの変形例の液晶表示装置において、Cgdグラデーションを設けた場合のRGB3原色それぞれの面内対向分布を示すグラフである。図29に示されるように、Cgdグラデーションが面内対向分布を十分に低減できる程度にかけられた場合、各絵素における面内対向分布のバラツキは低減したが、残っており、面内対向分布が一定にはなっていない。各絵素間のΔVd差はCgdグラデーションを設けなかった場合と略同一であった。図29中、一点鎖線は、G(緑)の面内対向分布を示し、点線は、B(青)の面内対向分布を示し、破線は、R(赤)の面内対向分布を示す。実施例8のもう一つの変形例においても、図29に示されるように、ΔVdを揃えたとしてもAだけずれていた場合、画素ごとに面内対向分布が平行移動したようになる。例えば、x=0の位置のΔVd差Aと最大補正量の位置のΔVd差Aとは、略同一である。面内対向分布を一定にするという観点からは、上述した実施例8の変形例のように、Cgdグラデーションの量が最適対向ずれを実質的に補償する量であることが好ましい。
上記表1に示した各絵素を有する液晶表示装置において、各絵素に対して面内対向を揃えるようなΔCgd/Cpixとなるようにグラデーションを設定した場合の各絵素の情報を、下記表3に示す。実施例9では、実施例8のようにグラデーションを設定した場合であっても数十mV程度(実施例8では、82mV)の差はでてしまうので、そのΔVdの差も考慮に入れたうえでCgdグラデーションを設定したものである。なお、表3中の各項目名は、上述した表2に示した各項目名と同様である。
実施例9の液晶表示装置においては、それぞれの絵素間でのgの値を上記表3及び図30に示したように調整することで、最大補正量のときのΔVd補正量差を、赤の絵素で154.1mV、緑及び黄の絵素で157.8mV、青の絵素で147.2mVとすることができ、最大補正量のときのΔVd補正量差の絵素間での最大値と最小値との間の差は、23mVであった。また、最大補正量のときのΔVdを、赤の絵素で1.668V、緑及び黄の絵素で1.735V、青の絵素で1.733Vとすることができ、最大補正量のときのΔVdの最大値と最小値との間の差は、67.0mVであった。αズレ(αの最大値とαの最小値との差の、αの最小値に対する割合)は、3.40%であった。したがって、上記設計によれば、最適対向電圧の絵素間での調整の程度を緩めることでαのズレを改善することができ、焼きつきの発生が抑制された液晶表示装置を得ることができた。
図31は、実施例9の変形例の液晶表示装置において設けたCgdグラデーションを示すグラフである。図31では、ΔVdが大きい画素(R)には少なめにCgdグラデーションを設定している。図31中、実線は、G(緑)において設けたCgd補正量とB(青)において設けたCgd補正量とをそれぞれ示し、破線は、R(赤)において設けたCgd補正量を示す。
図32は、実施例9の変形例の液晶表示装置において、Cgdグラデーションを設けた場合のRGB3原色それぞれの面内対向分布を示すグラフである。図32中、一点鎖線は、G(緑)の面内対向分布を示し、点線は、B(青)の面内対向分布を示し、破線は、R(赤)の面内対向分布を示す。
図31及び図32に示されるように、実施例9及び実施例9の変形例ではΔVdの差も考慮に入れたうえで最大補正量のときに各絵素でαがより揃うようにCgdグラデーションが設定されている。
このように設定するCgdグラデーションをΔVdが大きい画素(R)に対してはより少なくし、その他のΔVdが小さい画素(G、B)に対してはより多くすると、面内対向分布が同一にはならないものの、面内対向分布のバラツキを低減するとともに、実施例8よりも更にΔVd差を小さくすることができる。例えば、x=0の位置のΔVd差はAのままであるが、最大補正量の位置のΔVd差Bは、Aよりも小さくなっている。
上記表1に示した各絵素を有する液晶表示装置において、グラデーション配置の調整がされていない場合の各絵素の情報を、下記表4に示す。なお、表4中の各項目名は、上述した表2及び表3に示した各項目名と同様である。
比較例1の液晶表示装置においては、それぞれの絵素間でのgの値を上記表4及び図33に示したように調整することで、最大補正量のときのΔVd補正量差を、赤の絵素で112.0mV、緑及び黄の絵素で157.8mV、青の絵素で87.2mVとなり、最大補正量のときのΔVd補正量差の絵素間での最大値と最小値との間の差は、70.6mVであった。また、最大補正量のときのΔVdを、赤の絵素で1.626V、緑及び黄の絵素で1.735V、青の絵素で1.673Vとすることができ、最大補正量のときのΔVdの最大値と最小値との間の差は、109mVであった。αズレ(αの最大値とαの最小値との差の、αの最小値に対する割合)は、6.53%であった。したがって、上記設計による液晶表示装置は、焼きつきの発生が生じるおそれがある。
図34は、比較例1の変形例の液晶表示装置において設けたCgdグラデーションを示すグラフである。図34中、一点鎖線は、G(緑)において設けたCgd補正量を示し、点線は、B(青)において設けたCgd補正量を示し、破線は、R(赤)において設けたCgd補正量を示す。
図35は、比較例1の変形例の液晶表示装置において、Cgdグラデーションを設けた場合のRGB3原色それぞれの面内対向分布を示すグラフである。図35中、一点鎖線は、G(緑)の面内対向分布を示し、点線は、B(青)の面内対向分布を示し、破線は、R(赤)の面内対向分布を示す。
図34及び図35に示されるように、比較例1及びその変形例では設定するCgdグラデーションを画素容量の差を無視して同じ形状(Cgd補正量とステップ数が同じ)とした場合必要とされる補償量に対して多すぎたり(G)、少なすぎたり(R)することがあり、面内対向分布・ΔVdともに本発明の効果を充分に奏することができる範囲内とすることができない。例えば、x=0の位置でのΔVd差Aよりも、最大補正量のときのΔVd差Cがより大きくなっている。
図54は、実施形態2の液晶表示装置の画素電極、TFT及び各種配線の配置構成を示す平面模式図である。図54に示すように、実施形態2においては、一つの絵素に対して二つの画素電極、(以下、それぞれを副画素電極ともいう。)が配置されている。また、複数個の絵素によって一つの画素が構成されており、各絵素を個別に制御することで各画素が制御され、更に液晶表示装置による表示全体が制御される。
