Description

两电极间距离不恒定的横向电场型液晶显示器 技术领域  Transverse electric field type liquid crystal display with non-constant distance between two electrodes
本发明涉及液晶显示器, 尤其是有关横向电场型液晶显示器的电极结 构。 背景技术  The present invention relates to liquid crystal displays, and more particularly to electrode structures for lateral electric field type liquid crystal displays. Background technique
液晶分子的一特性是在不同的排列时, 有不同的旋光向或不同的折射效 果。 液晶显示器利用这种特性, 来控制光穿透率以产生影像。 因为液晶分子 的结构以及光特性的影响, 扭转向列型液晶显示器具有良好的光穿透率, 但 是显示器的视角却非常狭小。  One characteristic of liquid crystal molecules is that they have different optical directions or different refraction effects when they are arranged differently. Liquid crystal displays take advantage of this property to control light transmittance to produce images. The twisted nematic liquid crystal display has good light transmittance due to the structure of the liquid crystal molecules and the light characteristics, but the viewing angle of the display is very narrow.
为了解决光穿透率和视角的问题, 扭转垂直配向模式被用来提高穿透率 以及增加视角。 由于液晶分子被垂直配向, 当液晶分子接受较低电压时, 于 斜视的方向观看显示器, 会有灰阶反转的问题。 从而产生斜视方向的颜色偏 移, 而使显示器无法显现正常的影像。  In order to solve the problem of light transmittance and viewing angle, the twist vertical alignment mode is used to increase the transmittance and increase the viewing angle. Since the liquid crystal molecules are vertically aligned, when the liquid crystal molecules receive a lower voltage and view the display in a squint direction, there is a problem that the gray scale is reversed. This produces a color shift in the squint direction, which prevents the display from displaying a normal image.
另一种解决该类问题的方法利用平面内开关 (In-Plane Switching , IPS)技 术, 只在同一基板上形成两电极, 使得电场几乎是平行于基板。 与扭转向列 型液晶显示器比较, 平面内开关型液晶显示器具有较佳影像质量, 改善视角 的优点。  Another way to solve this type of problem is to use In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology to form two electrodes on the same substrate so that the electric field is almost parallel to the substrate. Compared with a twisted nematic liquid crystal display, the in-plane switching liquid crystal display has the advantages of better image quality and improved viewing angle.
在传统的平面内开关型液晶显示器中, 形成在同一基板的两电极通常是 互相平行, 因此驱动该类平面内开关型液晶显示器的临界电压较高, 显示器 的对比度也较差。 如何形成较佳的电极结构, 使临界电压降低和提高显示器 的对比度, 是目前设计生产液晶显示器中, 非常迫切需求的一个目标。 发明内容  In a conventional in-plane switching liquid crystal display, the electrodes formed on the same substrate are generally parallel to each other, so that the threshold voltage for driving such an in-plane switching liquid crystal display is high, and the contrast of the display is also poor. How to form a better electrode structure, lower the threshold voltage and improve the contrast of the display is a very urgent requirement in the design and production of liquid crystal displays.
