Description

一种平面切换模式液晶显示面板及其制备工艺和显示器 技术领域
本发明涉及一种液晶面板,特别是涉及一种平面切换模式液晶显示面板及其制备工艺,以及应用该液晶显示面板的显示器。
背景技术
液晶显示器包含液晶面板和背光模组,所述液晶面板具有上基板和下基板,在所述上下基板的相对内侧分别配置有透明电极,基板之间配置有一层液晶分子。液晶显示器是通过透明电极产生的电场,对液晶分子的取向进行控制,从而改变光的偏振状态,并藉由偏光板实现光路的穿透与阻挡,实现显示的目的。
评价液晶显示器的主要技术参数有:①对比度、②亮度、③信号响应时间、④可视角度。其中,对比度、亮度和可视角度的参数主要是取决于液晶面板。可视角度一直是液晶面板研究的重点和难点,这是由于当背光源通过偏极片、液晶和配向膜之后,输出的光线便具有了方向性。也就是说,大多数光都是从屏幕中垂直射出来的,所以从某一个斜角度观看液晶面板时,便不能看到原本的颜色,甚至只能看到全白或全黑。为了解决这个问题,研发人员研发了平面切换模式(In-Plane –Switching, IPS)的液晶显示平板。
在IPS模式的液晶显示面板中,液晶层中的液晶分子是正性液晶,透明电极配置于下基板,不加电时,液晶分子的长轴平行基板排列,无光学延迟,可以得到比较黑的暗态;加电时液晶分子水平旋转使入射偏振光通过,是常黑(Normally black)。IPS模式具有对比度高,高速响应的特点,常用于电视机等应用。但是,在IPS模式的液晶面板制备过程中,需要对基板进行摩擦,来对液晶分子进行初始配向。而这种摩擦配向会带来污染性问题,造成良率的下降,还会有静电等问题,对晶体管造成击伤。
因此,本发明提供一种新的IPS模式液晶显示面板的制备方法,既可以克服IPS模式制备过程中摩擦配向所带来的污染及静电问题,又工序简单,使所制得的液晶面板和液晶显示器具有高对比度、高响应速度和宽可视角度等特点。

有益效果
本发明利用双频液晶分子和双频反应性单体的双频特性,结合共面透明电极排布,在配向阶段使用高频交流电场驱动,使双频液晶分子和双频反应性单体在基板对应液晶层的一侧表面上受配向膜的作用而产生预倾角,然后通过UV光照射使维持预倾角的双频反应性单体反应固化在所述表面,完成配向过程;而在驱动本发明的液晶显示面板时,使用低频交流电场驱动,就可以驱动所述双频液晶分子和所述双频反应性单体。本发明的液晶显示面板及包含该面板的液晶显示器既具有IPS模式液晶显示器的高对比度、高响应速度和宽可视角度等特点,又克服了IPS模式中由于摩擦配向所带来的污染及静电问题,同时工序简单,节约了制备工序。

请参见附图2,附图2是附图1中所述第二基板30的俯视图,所述透明电极501共面平行设置,分别横跨所述第二基板30。
本实施例还提供上述IPS模式液晶显示面板的制备工艺流程,包括以下步骤:
提供第一基板10和第二基板30,所述第一基板10为CF基板,所述第二基板30为TFT阵列基板,上述第一、第二基板10、30的制备方法采用本领域常规方法,此处不再详述;
在所述第一基板10上形成第一配向膜20,在所述第二基板20上形成第二配向膜40,形成所述第一、第二配向膜20、40的形成方法采用本领域常规方法,此处不再详述;
在所述第二基板30的第二配向膜40上形成一共面透明电极层50,所述共面透明电极层50包含至少两个共面平行放置的透明电极501,所述透明电极501之间具有狭缝502。在本实施例中,所述共面透明电极层50包含三个共面平行放置的透明电极501,分别横跨所述第二基板30。所述透明电极501为ITO电极,形成透明电极的方法采用本领域常规方法,此处不再详述;
将由双频液晶分子601和双频反应性单体602所构成的液晶组合物填充入所述第一基板10与第二基板30之间,构成一液晶层60,所述液晶层60接触所述第一配向膜20、所述共面透明电极层50和所述狭缝502中第二配向膜40的表面;
在相邻的所述透明电极501之间施加频率≥1000Hz的高频交流电场,同时进行UV照射,完成液晶配向;以及
分别在所述第一、第二基板10和30对应所述液晶层60的另一侧表面上贴附第一、第二偏光片70和80后,形成液晶显示面板。
请继续参见附图2,在所述第二基板30的相邻透明电极501上施加频率范围在1000Hz~10000Hz之间的高频交流电场时,所述双频液晶分子601与双频反应性单体 602的长轴方向表现为垂直于电场排列的特性。请参见附图3,附图3所示的是本实施例中的配向过程,通过UV光照射,使双频反应性单体602发生聚合反应固化在所述第一配向膜20和共面透明电极层50对应液晶层60的一侧表面。由于在UV光照射过程中,始终处于加电状态,因此,双频反应性单体602受电场的作用以及配向膜的锚定力而移动到所述第一配向膜20和共面透明电极层50表面时会有一定的方向性,这个方向性就是通常所说的预倾角,而后通过UV光照射以固化所述双频反应性单体602的预倾角。至此,完成了配向过程。
在正式驱动液晶面板工作阶段,在所述第二基板30的相邻透明电极501之间加上频率≤250Hz的低频交流电场,由于双频特性,此时双频液晶分子601与双频反应性单体602的长轴方向表现为平行于电场排列的特性,而此时双频液晶分子601与双频反应性单体602偏转角度的大小由电场大小决定。而双频液晶分子601与双频反应性单体602的偏转角度的大小决定了光通过的效率,通过不同的偏转角度可以产生不同的灰阶,从而实现显像的目的。
本发明利用上述双频液晶分子和双频反应性单体双频特性,结合共面透明电极排布,在配向阶段使用高频交流电场驱动,使双频液晶分子和双频反应性单体在基板对应液晶层的一侧表面上受配向膜的作用而产生预倾角,然后通过UV光照射使维持预倾角的双频反应性单体反应固化在所述第一配向膜表面和所述共面透明电极层表面,完成配向过程;而在驱动本发明的液晶显示面板时,使用低频交流电场驱动,就可以驱动所述双频液晶分子和所述双频反应性单体。本发明的液晶显示面板及包含该面板的液晶显示器既具有IPS模式液晶显示器的高对比度、高响应速度和宽可视角度等特点,又克服了IPS模式中由于摩擦配向所带来的污染及静电问题,同时工序简单,节约了制备工序。
