Description

液晶显示器 技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及一种液晶显示器。 背景技术
对于边缘场切换(Fringe Field Switching, FFS )模式的液晶显示器, 当 分别从左右两侧观看液晶显示器的屏幕时, 所观看到的图像存在色偏移。 这 是因为在制备液晶显示器过程中对取向膜进行摩擦( Rubbing )工艺进行取向 时, 一般会沿着与栅电极外围电路接触点 (Gate-Pad )相反的方向进行摩擦 (比如, 从左到右) , 从而在形成的液晶盒中加入液晶后, 液晶在 Gate-Pad 的反方向 (右)上存在预倾角 ( Pre-tilt angle ) 。 因此, 如图 1所示, 从液晶 屏幕右侧观看时, 液晶相位差相对较大, 观看效果会存在偏黄( Yellowish ) 的情况; 而从液晶屏幕左侧观看时, 液晶相位差相对较小, 观看效果会存在 偏蓝(Bluish ) 的情况。
目前, 常用偏光片加色偏补偿薄膜的方式来改善从左右两侧观看液晶屏 幕时的色偏现象。 具体为, 偏光片加 c-plate来补偿上下左右及对角线方向的 色偏以及低灰阶的亮度值。 但是, 该技术方案不仅会增加成本, 而且还会增 加偏光片的厚度。 同时, 虽然该方案可以全方位对色偏进行补偿, 但存在光 学设计过程非常复杂, 不利于规模化应用的问题。 发明内容
本发明的实施例要解决的技术问题涉及如何消除边缘场切换模式下液晶 显示的色偏问题, 并控制生产成本, 简化设计。
本发明的一个实施例提供了一种液晶显示器, 所述液晶显示器包括: 彩 膜基板、 阵列基板以及位于彩膜基板与阵列基板之间的液晶层。 在所述彩膜 基板与液晶层之间设置有上表面取向层, 在所述阵列基板与液晶层之间设置 有下表面取向层。 所述上表面取向层沿彩膜基板至液晶层的方向依次包括: 第一上表面取向层、 色偏补偿薄膜层以及第二上表面取向层。 所述色偏补偿 薄膜层的取向方向与所述液晶层的预取向方向相反。
例如, 所述色偏;^卜偿薄膜层的材料选择为反应单体材料。
例如, 所述第一上表面取向层的摩擦方向设置为与所述下表面取向层的 摩擦方向相同。
例如, 所述色偏补偿薄膜层的摩擦方向设置为与所述下表面取向层的摩 擦方向相同。
例如, 所述第二上表面取向层的摩擦方向设置为与所述下表面取向层的 摩擦方向相反。 附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例的技术方案, 下面将对实施例的附图作 简单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅涉及本发明的一些实施例, 而非对本发明的限制。
图 1为现有技术中液晶显示器存在色偏问题的示意图, 其中从右侧观看 液晶时的相位差大于从左侧观看液晶时的相位差;
图 2A-2B为具体实施方式所提供的液晶显示器结构示意图。 具体实施方式
下面结合附图和实施例, 对本发明作进一步详细描述。
为消除在边缘场切换模式的液晶显示器左右两侧观看时存着色偏的问 题, 并控制生产成本, 简化设计, 本发明的实施例中通过使用色偏补偿薄膜 的方法来减小相位差。
对于色偏补偿薄膜的材料选择反应单体材料 ( Reactive Mezogen, RM )。 该 RM材料又称为反应型液晶。 反应型液晶具有液晶核( Core ), 末端带有一 个或多个可反应官能团 (Reactive Groups ), 通常为压克力基团 ( Acrylate Group ), 可经光聚合成高分子网络。 由于所使用的聚合起始剂多为 UV感光 型 (波长为 254 ~ 365nm ), 故也反应型液晶也被称为 UV反应型液晶。 目前 UV反应型液晶的供应商与产品有 Merck的 RM 系列、 Wacker的 SLM系列、 BASF 的 Paliocolor 系列等。 关于 RM 材料的示例例如又请见 Reactive Mesogen Mixtures for Integrated Optical Films, Lee et al, 2003 IMID. RM材料与通常的液晶一样是存在相位差,其在被紫外线照射后硬化,硬 化后会变成有着一定相位差的光学层。 因此, 在液晶显示器中按照一定方式 加装 RM材料的色偏补偿薄膜后, 液晶的相位差能够被减小, 进而改善从左 右两侧观看边缘场切换模式下的液晶显示器的屏幕时产生的色偏问题。
详细而言, 本发明的实施例所提供的边缘场切换模式下的液晶显示器
100, 该液晶显示器 100例如边缘场开关(FFS )型液晶显示器。 如图 2A所示, 该液晶显示器 100包括: 彩膜基板 10、 阵列基板 20以及位于彩膜基板与阵列基 板之间的液晶层 30。 在所述彩膜基板 10与液晶层 30之间设置有上表面取向层 40, 在所述阵列基板 20与液晶层 30之间设置有下表面取向层 50。
在另一个实施例之中, 液晶显示器 100例如是高级多维电场 (ADS)型液晶 显示器, 也包括: 彩膜基板 10、 阵列基板 20以及位于彩膜基板与阵列基板之 间的液晶层 30。 在所述彩膜基板 10与液晶层 30之间设置有上表面取向层 40, 在所述阵列基板 20与液晶层 30之间设置有下表面取向层 50。
上下表面取向层例如为聚酰亚胺(PI )层, 并通过摩擦工艺在其表面上 形成一定取向的细微的凹槽, 用于对液晶进行预取向。 图 2B示出了上表面取 向层 40、 液晶层 30以及下表面取向层 50的放大示意图。
所述上表面取向层 40沿彩膜基板 10至液晶层 30的方向依次包括: 第一上 表面取向层 41、 色偏补偿薄膜层 42以及第二上表面取向层 43。
所述色偏补偿薄膜层 42由经过硬化的 RM材料制备。该 RM材料具备通 常的液晶的性质, 在硬化后存在一定的相位差。
所述第一上表面取向层 41的摩擦方向设置为与所述下表面取向层 50的 摩擦方向相同。 第一上表面取向层 41的摩擦方向用于对 RM材料进行定向。
所述色偏补偿薄膜层 42的摩擦方向设置为与所述下表面取向层 50的摩 擦方向相同。
所述第二上表面取向层 42的摩擦方向设置为与所述下表面取向层 50的摩 擦方向相反。
这样, 应用上述结构的液晶显示器, 对于右侧产生的相位差略等于对于 左侧产生的相位差, 亦即消除了现有技术中液晶显示器中对于左右两侧产生 的相位差不同, 从而导致产生色偏的问题。
所述第一上表面取向层的成形工艺过程的一个示例如下。 首先, 在彩膜 基板 10的内表面上形成第一上表面取向层 41 , 对该彩膜基板 10上的第一上表 面取向层 41进行取向处理, 沿与阵列基板 20上的下表面取向层 50相同的摩擦 方向相同的方向来进行摩擦。 此时, 如图 2B所示, 叚设下表面取向层 50的摩 擦方向向左, 则水平第一上表面取向层 41的摩擦方向也同样向左。 然后, 在 第一上表面取向层 41上形成色偏补偿薄膜层 42, 即涂覆 RM材料, 然后将色偏 补偿薄膜层 42按第一上表面取向层 41的取向特性进行取向处理, 即 RM色偏补 偿薄膜层 42的摩擦方向也与阵列基板 20上的下表面取向层 50的摩擦方向相 同, 之后将 RM色偏补偿薄膜层通过 UV照射被硬化后。 在色偏补偿薄膜层 42 上形成第二上表面取向层 43 , 对第二上表面取向层 43进行取向处理, 沿与阵 列基板上的下表面取向层 50摩擦方向相反的方向来进行摩擦, 即向右进行摩 擦工艺, 从而在边缘场切换模式的液晶显示器的形成初期取向逆平行摩擦 ( anti-parallel rubbing )结构。 在该结构中, RM材料的排列方向与液晶的预排 列方向相反。 在另一个实施例之中, RM材料的排列方向与液晶的预排列方向 相反且相互对称。
此处,如果 RM材料的色偏补偿薄膜层 42按照与阵列基板 20上的下表面取 向层 50相反的方向进行摩擦时, 则会导致液晶显示器整体上产生更大的相位 差, 因此其摩擦方向必须与阵列基板 20上的下表面取向层 50的摩擦方向相同。
此时, RM材料的色偏补偿薄膜层 42的取向方向与液晶相反, 所以会存在 相互补偿相位的效果; 如果 RM材料的色偏补偿薄膜层 42的取向方向与液晶相 反且相互对称, 则相位补偿效果更好。 这样的话, 从左右两侧观看时液晶显 示器的屏幕时, 液晶显示器所产生的相位差会变小, 随之可以改善观看效果 偏淡黄或偏淡蓝的情况。
在另一个示例中, 第一上表面取向层 41也可以是由 UV偏光材料 (UV polarizer)形成, 那么也将不再需要用于第一上表面取向层 41的摩擦工艺。
综上, 本发明的实施例与现有技术相比, 存在如下几点特征:
( 1 )通过将由 RM材料制备的色偏补偿薄膜层的取向方向设置与液晶的 预排列方向相反或进一步相互对称, 从而能够实现色偏补偿薄膜层与液晶层 相互补偿相位的效果。 这样的话, 液晶显示器的屏幕在左右两侧所产生的相 位差会变小, 随之可以改善观看效果偏淡黄或偏淡蓝的情况, 进而有效解决 从左右两侧观看边缘场切换模式下的液晶屏幕时所产生的色偏问题。 ( 2 )由于该技术方案成本增加因素较少, 光学设计简单, 可以轻松应用 于实际中。 现有技术中在偏光片上增加色偏补偿薄膜的方式, 存在偏光片厚 度增加的问题; 但是, 在本发明的实施例中其厚度没有变化; 因此, 可对电 视机、 显示器等应用边缘场切换模式的超薄型产品的设计提供有力的帮助。
以上所述仅是本发明的优选实施方式, 应当指出, 对于本技术领域的普 通技术人员来说, 在不脱离本发明技术原理的前提下, 还可以做出若干改进 和变形, 这些改进和变形也应视为本发明的保护范围。
