Description

光学补偿膜、 光学补偿偏光板及液晶显示装置 技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及一种光学补偿膜、光学补偿偏光板及液晶显示装置。 背景技术
液晶显示器 (LCD)被广泛应用于画面显示中。 根据液晶的初始排列、 电 极结构及液晶的物理性质,液晶显示装置可分为几个模式:扭曲向歹l ( Twisted Nematic, TN ),垂直 4非列 ( Vertical Alignment, VA ) 及平面内转换 ( In-plane switching, IPS ) , 边缘场切换( Fringe field switching, FFS ) 、 高级超维场 转换技术 (ADvanced Super Dimension Switch, ADS)等。
LCD有视角各向异性和视角范围小的弱点, 即, 在离开垂直于显示板方 向观察时, 对比度明显下降。 在当前 LCD 向大尺寸发展并能同时共多人观 看的情况下, 这个弱点较为突出。 因而, 为了改善 LCD 的视角特性, 提出 了多种宽视角技术, 例如 IPS、 FFS、 ADS、 多区域垂直排列 (Multi-domain vertical alignment, MVA )等, 这些技术都能增大液晶显示器的视角。
例如, 对于不加光学补偿膜的液晶显示器来说, 当在垂直视角方向观看 时, 如图 1所示, 下偏光板的投射轴、 上偏光板的吸收轴及液晶的光轴均在 图中的 A点, 因此不会造成暗态漏光。
然而, 当在斜视方向观看时, 下偏光板的投射轴、 上偏光板的吸收轴及 液晶的光轴均发生偏转。 例如, 以极角为 60度, 方位角为 45度为例, 如图 2所示, 下偏光板的投射轴在 T点位置, 上偏光板的吸收轴及液晶的光轴均 在 A点所在的位置处, 因此由下偏光板进入的光在 T点, 经过液晶作用后到 达如箭头方向所指的 B点位置处, 导致不能被上偏光板的吸收轴完全吸收, 由此造成漏光。 这导致倾斜面对比度差, 从而严重影响了 LCD的显示质量。 发明内容
本发明的实施例提供一种光学补偿膜、光学补偿偏光板及液晶显示装置, 可在倾斜面改善对比度, 扩展液晶显示装置的视角。 本发明的一方面提供了一种光学补偿膜, 所述光学补偿膜为负双轴光学 各向异性补偿膜。
进一步地, 例如, 在可视光波长范围内, 所述光学补偿膜的面内延迟 Ro 在 12nm至 55nm之间,且折射率比 NZ为 1.2至 8.0之间,其中, R。= ( nx-ny ) xd , ΝΖ= ( ηχ-ηζ ) /(nx-ny) , 且 ηχ > ny > ηζ; ΉΧ为在所述光学补偿膜表面上 的 X轴方向上的折射率, ny在所述光学补偿膜表面上与 nx垂直方向上的折 射率, nz为在所述光学补偿膜厚度方向上的折射率, d为厚度。
本发明的另一方面提供了一种光学补偿偏光板, 包括: 第一光学补偿膜、 以及与所述第一光学补偿膜贴合设置的第一偏光膜; 在可视光波长范围内, 所述第一光学补偿膜的面内延迟 Ro在 12nm至 55nm之间, 且折射率比 NZ 为 1.2至 8.0之间, 其中, R。= ( nx-ny ) d , ΝΖ= ( ηχ-ηζ ) /(nx-ny) , 且 ηχ > ny > nz; ηχ为在所述光学补偿膜表面上的 X轴方向上的折射率, ny在所 述光学补偿膜表面上与 nx垂直方向上的折射率, nz为在所述光学补偿膜厚 度方向上的折射率, d为厚度。

为使本发明实施例的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发 明实施例的附图,对本发明实施例的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述。显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于所描 述的本发明的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获 得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
除非另作定义, 此处使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本发明所属领 域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。 本发明专利申请说明书以及权 利要求书中使用的 "第一" 、 "第二" 以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、 数量或者重要性, 而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。 同样, "一个" 、 "一" 或者 "该"等类似词语也不表示数量限制, 而是表示存在至少一个。 "包括" 或者 "包含" 等类似的词语意指出现在该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在 该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同, 并不排除其他元件或者物件。 "连 接" 或者 "相连" 等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接, 而是可 以包括电性的连接, 不管是直接的还是间接的。 "上" 、 "下" 、 "左" 、 "右" 等仅用于表示相对位置关系, 当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后, 则该 相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
本发明实施例提供了一种光学补偿膜, 所述光学补偿膜为负双轴光学各 向异性补偿膜。
负双轴光学各向异性补偿膜的折射率比大于 1 , 其在 X轴方向上的折射 率大于 Y轴方向上的折射率,Υ轴方向上的折射率大于 Z轴方向上的折射率。 X轴和 Υ轴为该补偿膜平面中直角坐标系的两个坐标轴,其中 X轴为横轴方 向, Υ轴为纵轴方向。 Ζ轴为所述光学各向异性补偿膜的厚度方向。
进一步地, 例如, 所述光学补偿膜在可视光波长范围内, 其面内延迟 Ro 在 12nm至 55nm之间,且其折射率 NZ 比为 1.2至 8.0之间,其中, R。=( nx-ny ) xd , ΝΖ= ( ηχ-ηζ ) /(nx-ny) , 且 nx > ny > nz; ηχ为在所述光学补偿膜表面上 的 X轴方向上的折射率, ny在所述光学补偿膜表面上与 nx垂直方向上的折 射率, nz为在所述光学补偿膜厚度方向上的折射率, d为厚度。
需要说明的是, 所述可视范围在本发明实施例中, 指波长为 380nm ~ 780nm范围的可视光; 当 NZ > 1且折射率为 nx > ny > nz时, 该光学补偿膜 即为负双轴光学各向异性补偿膜。
通常, 光学材料可以具有多达三种不同的折射率, 根据这些折射率之间 的关系可以被分类为各向同性或各向异性。 即, 当所有这三种折射率都相等 时, 可以认为这种材料为各向同性的; 当所有这三种折射率中至少两个不相 等时, 可以认为这种材料为各向异性的。 此外, 对于各向异性, 又可分为单 轴型或双轴型。 即, 当三个折射率中有两个相等时, 可以认为这种材料为单 轴型; 当三个折射率都不相等时, 可以认为这种材料为双轴型。
进一步地,例如,该光学补偿膜厚度方向的延迟可用 Rth表示,且 Rth=[(nx + ny) / 2 - nz] xd。 在此情况下, 上述折射率比 ΝΖ= ( ηχ-ηζ ) /(nx-ny)可由 Ro= ( nx-ny ) d和 Rth=[(nx + ny) / 2 - nz] d推导, 得到 NZ=Rth/ Ro + 0.5。
本发明实施例提供的光学补偿膜可通过双轴延伸的方法制得, 其可选用 改性聚苯乙烯(Polystyrene, PS )或改性聚碳酸酯(Polycarbonate , PC )等 来制备该光学补偿膜, 其制备方法可以为相关领域常用的技术, 在此不再赘 述。
需要说明的是, 本发明实施例提供的光学补偿膜并不限于由以上材料
PS、 PC制成,只要能满足上述 R。在 12nm至 55nm之间,且其折射率 NZ 比 为 1.2至 8.0之间的负双轴光学各向异性补偿膜均可。
在本发明实施例中, 补偿膜又称为延迟膜, 当用于液晶显示装置时, 该 光学补偿膜的作用为: 改变传输的光线相位, 从而抵消液晶分子对光线相位 的延迟, 进而使液晶显示器的视角扩大。
本发明实施例提供了一种光学补偿偏光板, 如图 3所示, 该光学补偿偏 光板 10包括第一光学补偿膜 102以及与所述第一光学补偿膜 102贴合设置的 第一偏光膜 103 ; 在可视光波长范围内, 所述第一光学补偿膜 102的面内延 迟 Ro在 12nm至 55nm之间, 且折射率比 NZ为 1.2至 8.0之间, 其中, Ro= ( nx-ny ) xd , ΝΖ= ( ηχ-ηζ ) /(nx-ny) , 且 ηχ > ny > ηζ; 各标 i己的含义^口上 所述。
优选的, 如图 3所示, 所述光学补偿偏光板 10还可以包括: 第一保护膜
101 ;所述第一保护膜 101设置于所述第一偏光膜 103的远离所述第一光学补 偿膜 102—侧。
第一偏光膜 103可用以提供偏光功能。 第一偏光膜 103例如可以用碘染 色聚乙烯醇(polyvinyl alcohol, PVA )膜制备并进行拉伸处理, 从而形成偏 振薄膜。 当然, 该第一偏光膜 103也可以是将拉伸的 PVA用碘原子染色, 从而形成偏振薄膜, 获得偏光功能。
进一步地, 第一光学补偿膜 102的慢轴与第一偏光膜 103的吸收轴方向 垂直。
"慢轴" 在这里是一个相对广泛的概念, 它包括光轴。 在一般情况下, A板、 C板的光轴和慢轴是相同的; 当光轴为膜的面内方向时称为 A板, 且 在此情况下 nx > ny=nz; 当光轴垂直于膜的面时, 称为 C板, 且在此情况下 nx=ny > nz„
将所述第一保护膜 101和所述第一光学补偿膜 102设置在所述第一偏光 膜 103的相对表面上, 从而得到所述光学补偿偏光板 10。

另外, 像素电极 202a和公共电极 202b也可以为不同层设置, 但公共电 极 202b与像素电极 202a在垂直于基板表面的正投影方向上没有交叠。
图 6为一种 FFS型液晶显示装置中的电极结构的示例。 如图 6所示, 所 述像素电极 202a和公共电极 202b 为不同层设置, 且位于上层的公共电极 202b做成包含多个电连接的条形电极, 此时像素电极 202a和公共电极 202b 在垂直于基板表面的正投影方向上存在交叠部分。此时,公共电极 202b可含 有狭缝的结构或梳状结构, 位于下层的像素电极 202a做成平板型。但, 本发 明实施例并不限于此,位于下层的像素电极 202a也可以为包含多个电连接的 条形电极。 此外, 位于上层的也可为像素电极, 并包含多个电连接的条形电 极, 位于下层的也可为公共电极, 并做成平板型或做成包含多个电连接的条 形电极的结构。 需要说明的是, 所有附图中仅绘示出与本发明有关的部分, 对于其他部分没有标识。
图 6为所示的电极结构的示例也使用 ADS型液晶显示装置。 通过同一 平面内狭缝电极边缘所产生的电场以及狭缝电极层与板状电极层间产生的电 场形成多维电场, 使液晶盒内狭缝电极间、 电极正上方所有取向液晶分子都 能够产生旋转, 从而提高了液晶工作效率并增大了透光效率。 ADS技术可以 提高 LCD产品的画面品质, 具有高分辨率、 高透过率、 低功耗、 宽视角、 高开口率、 低色差、 无挤压水波纹(push Mura )等优点,应用于本发明中, 可实现更宽的视角。
在本发明所有实施例中, 同层设置是针对至少两种图案而言的; 至少两 种图案同层设置是指: 将同一薄膜通过构图工艺形成至少两种图案。 例如, 上述同层设置的像素电极 202a和公共电极 202b是指: 由同一透明导电薄膜 通过构图工艺形成的像素电极 202a和公共电极 202b。像素电极 202a是指通 过开关单元(例如,可以是薄膜晶体管)与数据线连接的电极,公共电极 202b 是指和公共电极线连接的电极。 在本发明所有实施例中, 不同层设置也是针对至少两种图案而言的, 至 少两种图案不同层设置是指, 分别将至少两层薄膜通过构图工艺形成至少两 种图案。 对于两种图案不同层设置是指, 通过构图工艺, 由两层薄膜各形成 一种图案。 例如, 不同层设置的上层电极和下层电极是指: 由第一层透明导 电薄膜通过构图工艺形成下层电极, 由第二层透明导电薄膜通过构图工艺形 成上层电极。
在本发明所有实施例中, 上层、 下层是按照制作工艺中的先后顺序而定 义的; 下层是指在先制作完成的层, 上层是指在后制作完成的层。 需要说明 的是, 上层电极和下层电极中哪个作为公共电极、 哪个作为像素电极, 与其 连接关系有关。 若上层(下层) 电极和数据线通过开关单元和数据线相连, 则上层(下层)电极作为像素电极, 若上层(下层)电极和公共电极线连接, 则上层(下层)电极作为公共电极。 图 6中是以上层电极作为公共电极 202b, 下层电极作为像素电极 202a为例。
进一步地, 如图 7或图 8所示, 所述液晶显示装置 1还可以包括背光单 元 50, 且背光单元 50靠近第二偏光板 40设置。
需要说明的是, 上述附图 7仅以像素电极 202a和公共电极 202b不同层 设置进行示意, 但本发明实施例并不限于此, 例如, 像素电极 202a和公共电 极 202b可以同层设置。
本发明实施例的液晶显示装置 1 , 在不考虑视角问题以及光学补偿膜作 用的情况下, 当背光单元 50发出的光到达第二偏光板 40时, 例如参照图 8, 若第二偏光板的吸收轴 401为垂直方向,则通过第二偏光板 40的光偏为水平, 在不施加电压的情况下, 由于第一偏光板的吸收轴 301的方向与所述第二偏 光板的吸收轴 401的方向垂直, 即此时所述第一偏光板的吸收轴 301的方向 为水平方向,使得到达第一偏光板 301的水平偏光被第一偏光板 30吸收, 由 此呈现 "暗" 态。
在施加电压的情况下, 通过第二偏光板 40 的水平偏光在经过液晶单元 20后, 呈垂直方向到达第一偏光板 30, 由于所述第一偏光板的吸收轴 301 为水平方向, 即所述第一偏光板的透过轴为垂直方向, 由此呈现 "明" 态。
本发明实施例提供的液晶显示装置, 在倾斜面(极角为 60度, 方位角为 45度)方向上, 全方位最大透过率满足 0.36%以下的补偿。 下面以一个实施例具体对本发明的效果做详细的说明, 且已用 LCD 光 学模拟程序中进行了模拟, 确认了广视角的效果。
殳, 随波长的透过轴的透过率为 TD (λ) , 随波长的吸收轴的透过率 为 Μϋ (λ) , 则视感偏光度和视感单体透过率满足以下公式:

; S ( )为光源光语, 通常为 C光源, 为 JISZ8701:1999中所定义的补偿值。
通过计算可以得出, 在 380nm~780nm 的可视光范围内, 其偏光度为 99.99%, 单体透过率为 42.5%。 由现有技术可知, 视感偏光度越高其对比度 越高。 因此, 本发明实施例提供的具有第一光学补偿膜的液晶显示装置在方 位角为 45度时, 对比度较好, 而且其单体透过率也可达到 42.5%。
此外, 以可视光 590nm为例, 第二偏光板 40的各向同性保护膜 40的面 内延迟为 Onm且厚度延迟为 Onm, 第一偏光板 30的第一光学补偿膜 102的 面内延迟为 12nm, 且折射率比为 8为例; 在邦加球上, 极角为 60度, 方位 角为 45度倾斜方向的偏光状态变化如图 9所示, 第二偏光板 40的透过轴在 T点位置处, 当背光单元 50的光经第二偏光板 40、 液晶层 203到达第一偏 光板 30时, 到达图中的 B点位置处, 在经过所述面内延迟为 12nm, 且折射 率比为 8的第一光学补偿膜 102后,到达图中的 A点,并到达第一偏光膜 103 , 正好和所述第一偏光板的吸收轴 301, 即第一偏光膜 103的吸收轴一致, 因 此没有漏光。 进一步地, 如图 10所示, 从其全方位透过率的分布图可知, 中 间黑色部分范围变宽, 则可知该液晶显示装置可以实现更宽视角。
为了说明图 10中显示了视角变宽,下面以该液晶显示装置 1不加光学补 偿膜时, 其全方位透过率的分布进行对比说明。如图 11所示, 可以看出相对 于图 10, 中间黑色部分范围明显较窄。 根据现有技术可知, 中间黑色部分范 围越宽, 视角则越宽。
另外, 以可视光 590nm为例, 第二偏光板 40的各向同性保护膜 40的面 内延迟为 Onm, 且厚度延迟为 Onm, 第一偏光板 30的第一光学补偿膜 102 的面内延迟为 12nm, 且折射率比为 8为例, 在邦加球上, 极角为 60度, 方 位角为 45度倾斜方向的偏光状态变化也可达到类似图 9的效果,且全方位透 过率也与图 10类似。 由此可知,此时该实施例的液晶显示装置也可以实现更 宽视角, 即人眼能感觉到的变化在 0.36%以上, 最大透过率低于 0.36%时人 目艮是感觉不到, 从而可以解决人眼可识别的漏光问题, 并提高对比度, 提高 显示质量。
通过上述可知,通过在液晶显示装置上设置具有面内延迟 R。在 12nm至
55nm之间, 且折射率比 NZ为 1.2至 8.0之间的光学补偿膜, 可在倾斜面上 改善对比度, 从而能进一步的扩展了该液晶显示装置的视角。 此外, 由于在 第一偏光板, 第二偏光板都由三层膜构成, 可使该液晶显示装置实现更轻薄 化。
以上所述仅是本发明的示范性实施方式, 而非用于限制本发明的保护范 围, 本发明的保护范围由所附的权利要求确定。
