具体实施方式
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。
除非另外定义,本公开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。本公开中使用的“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,而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。
水平电场型液晶显示器可以分为IPS(In-Plane Switching,面内开关)、FFS(Fringe Field Switching,边缘场开关)、ADS等类型。例如,图1a为一种ADS模式液晶显示装置的剖视示意图。如图1a所示,该ADS模式液晶显示装置包括对置基板10、阵列基板20以及液晶层30。阵列基板20上设置有狭缝状电极23和板状电极24,所形成的电场线如图中的弯曲的箭头所示。对置基板10上的取向膜12对液晶层30中的液晶分子的取向方向(如上方的箭头所示)从左到右,阵列基板20上的取向膜22对液晶分子的取向方向(如下方的箭头所示)从右到左。
在图1a所示的ADS模式液晶显示装置的制作过程中,由于摩擦取向工艺的限制,液晶分子在取向膜表面会产生一定的预倾角(TBA),即取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向与液晶指向矢之间的夹角。液晶指向矢与取向工艺有关,例如,对于摩擦取向,液晶指向矢沿摩擦方向向上倾斜,对于离子束刻蚀诱导取向,液晶指向矢沿刻蚀束的相反方向向上倾斜。在图1a中,位于上方的箭头表示对置基板10上的取向膜12对液晶分子的取向方向,位于下方 的箭头表示阵列基板20上的取向膜22对液晶分子的取向方向,液晶分子相对于水平方向向左上方偏转。在如图1a所示ADS模式等水平电场型液晶显示装置中,液晶层中的液晶分子通常形成大约2°~3°的预倾角(即液晶层与水平方向之间的夹角)。
在研究中,本申请的发明人注意到,对于ADS模式等水平电场型液晶显示装置,由于液晶层30中液晶分子的预倾角无法做到0°,因此,在L0画面(即,黑画面)下,当左侧观察视角和右侧观察视角相同时,例如图1b所示,左侧观察视角和右侧观察视角都为α,由于液晶具有预倾角β(即液晶层30与水平方向之间的夹角),实际的右视角为α+β,实际的左视角为α-β,实际左右视角相差2β,造成左右视角的Δn不同。由于在左侧和右侧等视角观察时,光线路径相同但Δn不相等,因而左视和右视的光程差以及光透过率(都与Δn*d相关,Δn为双折射率,d为液晶层的厚度,也称为液晶盒厚)不相等,这会造成ADS模式等水平电场型液晶显示装置在L0画面下大视角色偏严重的问题,出现右视偏蓝、左视偏黄且漏光严重的现象。
目前,解决色偏问题常用的技术手段包括:使用补偿膜、对背光源的出射光进行控制、采用光取向技术等。但是,采用补偿膜的方式成本高且需考虑补偿膜的高低温可靠性问题;对背光源的出射光进行控制的方式成本高、需要使用高成本膜材且需准直背光;采用光取向技术的方式针对IPS和FFS模式的技术尚不成熟且材料和设备成本高。
因此,本领域技术人员希望提供一种低成本的且能够有效地解决水平电场型液晶显示装置在L0画面下的大视角色偏问题的方案。
本发明实施例提供了一种显示面板及显示装置,通过在阵列基板和对置基板上分别设置取向调整结构,使各基板上的取向膜相对于水平方向倾斜,从而使得液晶层中的液晶分子相对于图1a所示的情形更趋向于水平排列,也就是使液晶分子与水平方向的夹角更接近0°,从而可以改善水平电场型液晶显示装置的L0画面下左右大视角色偏问题。
实施例一
如图2所示,本实施例提供了一种显示面板,该显示面板包括第一基板100、第二基板200和设置于第一基板100和第二基板200之间的液晶层300。
第一基板100包括第一衬底基板110、设置于第一衬底基板110上的第 一取向膜120以及设置于第一衬底基板110与第一取向膜120之间的多个第一取向调整结构150,第一取向膜120包括分别对应所述多个第一取向调整结构150的多个第一部分121(如图2中的虚线所示)。每个第一取向调整结构150包括面向第一取向膜120的第一表面151,并且第一表面151的起伏方向、每个第一部分121的起伏方向以及第一取向膜120对液晶层300中的液晶分子的取向方向(如图2中的位于上方从左到右的箭头所示)一致。
第二基板200与第一基板100相对设置,包括第二衬底基板210、设置于第二衬底基板210上的第二取向膜220以及设置于第二衬底基板210和第二取向膜220之间的多个第二取向调整结构250,并且第二取向膜220包括分别对应所述多个第二取向调整结构250的多个第二部分221(如图2中的虚线所示)。每个第二取向调整结构250包括面向第二取向膜220的第二表面252,第二表面252的起伏方向、每个第二部分221的起伏方向以及第二取向膜220对液晶层300中的液晶分子的取向方向(如图2中位于下方从右到左的箭头所示)一致。
本实施例通过在各取向膜和其所在的衬底基板之间设置取向调整结构,使各取向膜形成与第一表面/第二表面相对应的倾斜表面,并且每个倾斜表面的起伏方向与取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向一致,因此,液晶分子与水平方向(图2中平行于第一/二衬底基板的方向)之间的夹角得以减小,甚至达到0°,这使得显示面板所表现出来的液晶层中液晶分子的预倾角(即液晶分子与水平方向的夹角)可以接近或等于0°,从而可以避免水平电场液晶显示装置在L0画面下大视角色偏问题。
在本发明实施例中,某结构的起伏方向是指从该结构的顶端在该结构所在的衬底基板上的正投影到该结构的底端在该衬底基板上的正投影的方向。某结构的顶端指该结构的与其所在的衬底基板相距最远的一端,某结构的底端指该结构的与其所在的衬底基板相距最近的一端。
例如,如图2所示,第一表面151的起伏方向是指从该第一表面151的顶端P在第一衬底基板110上的正投影到该第一表面151的底端Q在第一衬底基板110上的正投影的方向。在图2所示的情形中,第一表面151的起伏方向为从左到右。
例如,如图2所示,第二表面252的起伏方向是指从第二表面252的顶 端P′在第二衬底基板210上的正投影到该第二表面252的底端Q'在第二衬底基板210上的正投影的方向。在图2所示的情形中,第二表面252的起伏方向为从右到左。
需要说明的是,各取向膜的面向液晶层一侧通常设有例如凹槽等取向结构,本实施例中取向膜的各部分的起伏方向是针对该部分的整体而言,可以忽略取向结构的影响。
在本实施例中,为了使液晶层300中的液晶分子水平取向,分别设置于第一、二基板上的两个取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向可以同向平行或反向平行。图2中的第一取向膜120和第二取向膜220对液晶分子的取向方向仅作为示例。但本实施例不限于此。例如,第一取向膜120和第二取向膜220对液晶分子的取向方向还可以与图2所示的情形相反,即,第一取向膜120对液晶分子的取向方向可以为从右到左,第二取向膜220对液晶分子的取向方向可以为从左到右。
此外,第一基板和第二基板中的一个为阵列基板,另一个为对置基板,例如对置基板为彩膜基板;第一衬底基板和第二衬底基板可以为玻璃基板、石英基板或塑料基板等;第一取向膜和第二取向膜可以采用本领域常用的材料和取向工艺制作,此处不作赘述。
在本实施例的至少一个示例中,各取向调整结构可以采用透明材料制作,以避免影响开口率。
例如,如图2所示,第一基板100包括设置于第一衬底基板110上的多个呈矩阵排列的子像素(例如,包括红色子像素R、绿色子像素G和蓝色子像素B)以及黑矩阵130(Black Matrix,简称BM)。黑矩阵130可以包括相互交叉的多个第一延伸部和多个第二延伸部从而形成网格状,在网格的开口处可以设置子像素,如图2所示,子像素之间可以设置有黑矩阵130。在子像素和黑矩阵130上依次设置有包括多个第一取向调整结构150的第一功能层105以及覆盖第一功能层105的第一取向膜120。例如,第一功能层105的材料可以包括氮化硅、氧化硅、树脂等。第一取向调整结构150可以是利用第一功能层105的材料形成的凸起或凹陷结构。
例如,第二基板200包括依次设置于第二衬底基板210上的板状公共电极240、绝缘层234(例如为栅极绝缘层和钝化层的叠层)、设置于绝缘层 234上的狭缝状像素电极230、包括多个第二取向调整结构250的第二功能层205、设置于第二功能层205上的第二取向膜220。第二功能层205的材料可以包括氮化硅、氧化硅、树脂等。第二取向调整结构250可以是利用第二功能层205的材料形成的凸起或凹陷结构。
需要说明的是,子像素和黑矩阵中的任意一个可以设置于第一基板或第二基板上。图2仅以第一基板100上设置有1个红色子像素R、1个绿色子像素G和1个蓝色子像素B以及黑矩阵130为例进行说明。
本实施例提供的显示面板适用于水平电场型液晶显示面板,因而第一基板和第二基板中的一个包括像素电极和公共电极;包括像素电极和公共电极的基板为阵列基板,另一个基板为对置基板。像素电极和公共电极可以采用IPS模式设置于同一膜层中;像素电极和公共电极也可以采用ADS模式或FFS模式等设置于不同膜层中。在ADS模式中,像素电极和公共电极中的一个为狭缝状电极且另一个为板状电极;在FFS模式中,像素电极和公共电极都为狭缝状电极。并且,像素电极可以设置于上层且公共电极设置于下层,或者像素电极可以设置于下层且公共电极设置于上层。本实施例及附图仅以第二基板200包括狭缝状的像素电极230和板状的公共电极240为例进行说明。
在本实施例的至少一个示例中,为了将各取向调整结构的表面特征(例如第一/二表面的倾斜方向、倾斜角度和形状等)较好地传递给对应的取向膜的相应部分,从而有利于控制液晶分子与水平方向之间的夹角,可以采取以下两种方式中的一种或两种的组合。
方式一:每个第一部分121所在的面可以平行于其对应的第一取向调整结构150包括的第一表面151;和/或每个第二部分221所在的面可以平行于其对应的第二取向调整结构250包括的第二表面252。
方式二:各第一取向调整结构150包括的第一表面151可以与第一取向膜120贴合在一起;和/或各第二取向调整结构250包括的第二表面252可以与第二取向膜220贴合在一起。也就是说,第一表面151所在的膜层与第一取向膜120所在的膜层为相邻的膜层;和/或第二表面252所在的膜层与第二取向膜220所在的膜层为相邻的膜层。例如,可以利用与各取向膜相邻的绝缘层制作各取向调整结构。
需要说明的是,各取向膜的面向液晶层一侧通常设有例如凹槽等取向结构,上述取向膜的各部分所在的平面是针对该部分的整体而言,可以忽略取向结构的影响。
此外,取向膜可以形成在绝缘材料上,也可以形成在非绝缘材料上。例如,如图2所示,第二取向调整结构250也可以利用像素电极230和公共电极240之间的例如钝化层等绝缘层形成,在这种情况下,第二取向膜220可以形成在像素电极230所在的层上。
在本实施例的至少一个示例中,每个子像素都可以对应至少一个第一表面和至少一个第二表面,即对应至少一个第一取向调整结构和至少一个第二取向调整结构。由于同一个基板上的相邻的取向调整结构的交界处可能形成液晶畴(即液晶的排列相比其他区域较复杂),因此,为尽量避免影响开口率,每个子像素可以对应1~5个第一取向调整结构和1~5个第二取向调整结构。
例如,每个子像素都可以对应至少一个第一表面151和至少一个第二表面252,并且第一表面151和第二表面252可以一一对应(即第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250一一对应),在这种情况下,可以将第一取向调整结构150面向液晶层300的表面(例如第一表面151)与第二取向调整结构250面向液晶层300的表面(例如第二表面252)设置为相互平行,以尽量避免取向调整结构对液晶层的厚度造成影响,使液晶层300的各处厚度尽量保持一致,从而尽量减小在左、右侧等视角观察时的左视和右视的光程差,进而尽量避免显示面板在L0画面下的大视角色偏问题。
例如,在第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250一一对应且各自对应液晶层的表面彼此平行的情况下,还可以使第二取向调整结构250面向液晶层300的表面在第一衬底基板110上的正投影与第一取向调整结构150面向液晶层300的表面在第一衬底基板110上的正投影重合。这样可以保证第一、二取向调整结构面向液晶层的表面不但彼此平行,并且形状和尺寸相同,从而可以进一步避免取向调整结构对液晶层厚度造成影响,保证液晶层厚度的均一性,从而更有利于避免色偏。
例如,如图2所示,每个子像素可以对应一个第一表面151和一个第二表面252,并且每个第一表面151和每个第二表面252都对应一个子像素, 即子像素、第一表面151和第二表面252一一对应,从而子像素、第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250也一一对应。在这种情况下,每个第一取向调整结构150面向液晶层300的表面的边缘以及每个第二取向调整结构250面向液晶层300的表面的边缘可以都位于相邻的子像素之间,这使得相邻取向调整结构的交界对应子像素之间的黑矩阵区域,从而可以尽量避免交界处的液晶畴影响显示效果。
在本实施例的至少一个示例中,第一表面151和第二表面252中的至少一个可以为平面。图2以第一表面151和第二表面252都为平面为例进行说明。
如图2所示,每个第一取向调整结构150还包括与第一表面151的一端(例如,顶端P)相交的第三表面153。沿每个第一表面151的起伏方向,第三表面153设置于相邻的第一表面151之间,也即相邻的第一取向调整结构150之间。当相邻的第一取向调整结构150连续形成时,即相邻的第一取向调整结构150之间没有间隙时,第三表面153可以连接相邻的第一表面151。
由于第一取向膜120包括多个第一部分121,每个第一部分121对应一个第一取向调整结构150并且包括与该第一取向调整结构150的第一表面151和第三表面153相对应的表面,因此,第一取向膜120在相邻的第一表面151的交界处(即第三表面153所在的位置处)存在高度差,这会影响该交界处的液晶排列,因此,为了尽量避免液晶在该交界处产生液晶畴,可以采用以下两种方式中的一种或其组合,下面详细介绍这两种方式。
方式一:第三表面153可以垂直于第一衬底基板110。需要说明的是,垂直指的是大致垂直。尤其是当每个子像素对应多个第一表面时,通过将第三表面153设置为垂直于第一衬底基板110,可以尽量避免液晶在相邻的第一表面151的交界对应的区域内产生液晶畴。
方式二:第三表面153可以位于黑矩阵130对应的区域内。例如,沿大致平行于第一衬底基板110方向,每个第一表面151的尺寸都大于该第一表面对应的子像素的尺寸,也就是说,沿平行于第一衬底基板110的方向,每个第一表面151的边缘都位于该第一表面对应的子像素所在的区域之外(即位于相邻的子像素之间的间隙处),这样可以使位于相邻的第一表面151之 间的第三表面153对应黑矩阵130所在的区域。
类似地,每个第二取向调整结构250还包括与第二表面252的一端(例如,顶端P')相交的第四表面254。沿平行于每个第二表面252的起伏方向的方向上,第四表面254设置于相邻的第二表面252之间。第四表面254也可以采用上述方式一和方式二中的至少一个进行设置,也就是说,第四表面254可以垂直于第二衬底基板210,和/或第四表面254可以位于黑矩阵130对应的区域内。例如,沿大致平行于第一衬底基板110方向,每个第二表面252的尺寸都大于该第二表面对应的子像素的尺寸,也就是说,沿平行于第一衬底基板110的方向,每个第二表面252的边缘都位于该第二表面对应的子像素所在的区域之外(即位于相邻的子像素之间的间隙处),这样可以使位于相邻的第二表面252之间的第四表面254对应黑矩阵130所在的区域。
在本实施例的上述示例中,当第三表面153和第四表面254都位于黑矩阵130对应的区域内时,第三表面153和第四表面254一一对应,并且第一表面151和第二表面252也一一对应。
由于水平电场型液晶显示装置中液晶的预倾角通常为2°~3°,因此,在本实施例的至少一个示例中,平面状的第一表面151与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角可以小于或等于3°,并且平面状的第二表面252与第二衬底基板210之间的夹角可以小于或等于3°。
例如,第一表面151与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角优选为小于或等于2°,第二表面252与第二衬底基板210之间的夹角优选为小于或等于2°。
在显示面板中,在第一衬底基板110和第二衬底基板210之间设置的呈矩阵排列的多个子像素中,每行子像素可以按照颜色周期性排列,例如按照RGBRGB的方式排列,每列子像素的颜色可以相同,例如按照RRRRRR或GGGGGG或BBBBBB的方式排列。
在ADS模式或IPS模式的显示面板中,取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向通常沿着子像素的行方向,如图3a中的箭头所示。由于第一表面和第二表面的起伏方向分别与其对应的取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向一致,因而,在至少一个示例中,第一表面和第二表面的起伏方向可以与上述子像素的行方向一致。
在FFS模式的显示面板中,取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向通常沿着子像 素的列方向,如图3b中的箭头所示。由于第一表面和第二表面的起伏方向分别与其对应的取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向一致,因而,在至少一个示例中,第一表面和第二表面的起伏方向可以与上述子像素的列方向一致。
在显示装置的第一衬底基板和第二衬底基板之间还设置有横纵交叉的多条栅线和多条数据线,第一基板和第二基板中设置有栅线和数据线的基板为阵列基板,另一个则为对置基板。
在本实施例的至少一个示例中,为了保证开口率,在ADS或IPS显示面板中,如图3a所示,颜色周期性排列的每行子像素可以沿着数据线270的延伸方向排列;并且,沿平行于第一衬底基板的方向,每个子像素的长度方向可以沿着栅线260的延伸方向设置,每个子像素的宽度方向可以沿着数据线270的延伸方向设置。
类似地,在IPS模式显示面板中,如图3b所示,颜色周期性排列的每行子像素可以沿着栅线260的延伸方向排列;并且,沿平行于第一衬底基板的方向,每个子像素的长度方向可以沿着数据线270的延伸方向设置,每个子像素的宽度方向可以沿着栅线260的延伸方向设置。
在本实施例的至少一个示例中,沿与取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向大致垂直的方向,第一取向调整结构可以间断设置并且第二取向调整结构也可以间断设置。这样可以避免取向调整结构影响取向膜涂布(coating)的流平性,避免造成取向膜厚度不均匀,使多余的取向液向取向调整结构的间断处聚集,该间断处对应黑矩阵的遮挡区域,因此不会对显示造成影响。在此基础上,在至少一个示例中,沿与取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向平行的方向,第一取向调整结构和第二取向调整结构都可以连续形成。
例如,在ADS模式或IPS模式显示面板中,沿子像素的行方向,第一取向调整结构和第二取向调整结构都可以连续形成;并且,沿子像素的列方向,第一取向调整结构和第二取向调整结构都可以间隔设置。例如,如图4所示,第一取向调整结构150沿着取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向(如箭头所示)连续形成,且沿与该取向方向垂直的方向则间隔设置。
例如,在FFS模式显示面板中,沿上述子像素的列方向,第一取向调整结构和第二取向调整结构都可以连续形成;沿上述子像素的行方向,第一取向调整结构和第二取向调整结构都可以间隔设置。
如图4和图5所示,显示面板的第一衬底基板110和第二衬底基板210之间还设置有多个用于维持液晶层的厚度的隔垫物140。由于每个隔垫物140周围一定范围内液晶的排列比较紊乱,并且黑矩阵130的第一延伸部和第二延伸部的交叉处遮光范围较大,因此,隔垫物140可以设置于该交叉处,以尽量减小隔垫物140对子像素区域液晶排列的影响。
由于第一取向膜120和第二取向膜220比较薄,在忽略其厚度影响的情形下,如图5所示,每个隔垫物140的顶端141超出第一取向调整结构150的顶端P(也为第一表面151的顶端)的距离可以与液晶层的厚度d相等,和/或每个隔垫物140的顶端141超出第二取向调整结构250的顶端P′(也为第二表面252的顶端)的距离也可以与液晶层的厚度d相等。需要说明的是,本实施例中由于第一、二取向调整结构的作用,对应各取向调整结构的液晶层具有倾斜面,因此本发明各实施例中液晶层的厚度(即液晶盒厚,cell gap)为液晶层沿垂直于第一/二衬底基板方向上的厚度,如图5中的d所示。
如图4所示,第一取向调整结构150可以与上述多个隔垫物140并排设置于同一层上。这样,在同一次构图工艺中,通过控制不同区域的曝光量可以形成第一取向调整结构150可以与隔垫物140,以节省工艺流程。并且,在这种情况下,形成第一取向调整结构150和隔垫物140的膜层为上述的第一功能层105。
在第一取向调整结构150与隔垫物140并排设置于同一层上且忽略第一取向膜120和第二取向膜220的厚度影响的情形下,在本实施例的至少一个示例中,每个隔垫物140的高度H可以为液晶层的厚度d与第一取向调整结构150的顶端P的高度(即第三表面153的两端沿垂直于第一衬底基板110方向的距离)之和,和/或每个隔垫物140的高度H(每个隔垫物的顶端与其底端之间的高度差)可以为液晶层300的厚度d与第二取向调整结构250的顶端P′的高度(即第四表面254的两端沿垂直于第二衬底基板210方向的距离)之和。
例如,第一取向调整结构150的顶端P的高度可以为1~2μm;例如,第二取向调整结构250的顶端P′的高度可以为1~2μm。第一取向调整结构150的顶端P的高度可以与第二取向调整结构250的顶端P′的高度相同,也可以不同。
图5以第一取向调整结构150的顶端P的高度与第一表面151的段差h(即顶端P与底端Q到第一衬底基板110的距离差)相等,并且第二取向调整结构250的顶端P′的高度与第二表面252的段差h′(即顶端P′与底端Q′到第二衬底基板210的距离差)相等为例进行说明。
在至少一个示例中,第一取向调整结构150可通过灰度渐变掩膜板利用形成隔垫物140的膜层一次成型。制作过程大致包括如下所述步骤S1~S5,下面详细介绍该制作过程。
步骤S1:根据子象素大小决定隔垫物层的厚度T0,T0=h+d。
以各取向膜的预倾角为2°为例,T0=Wsub*0.035+d,Wsub表示子像素的宽度,d表示液晶盒厚。
步骤S2:进行曝光,同时制作第一取向调整结构150和隔垫物140,如图4所示,可以将隔垫物140设置于位于较宽的BM(即Gate向BM)处。
例如,每个隔垫物的高度H可以为:4.42μm>H>2.5μm或3.5μm>H>2.5μm。
在该步骤中,由于对应第一取向调整结构区域的掩膜板是灰度渐变的,所以可形成具有均一梯度的第一取向调整结构。
步骤S3:取向膜涂布(coating)。
例如,取向膜可以采用聚酰亚胺(PI)材料,其厚度例如为
Figure PCTCN2015091550-appb-000001
第一取向调整结构150的段差≥1μm。从图4所示的结构可知,由于第一取向调整结构在行与行之间是不连续的,因而PI扩散不受影响。
步骤S4:进行摩擦取向(Rubbing)工艺。Rubbing方向(即取向方向)沿第一取向调整结构的起伏方向,如图4所示。
步骤S5:进行液晶滴下(ODF,One Drop Fill)、密封(sealing)等。
以上示例以第一取向调整结构150与隔垫物140同时形成为例进行说明,在这种情况下,第一取向调整结构150所在的基板可以为对置基板(例如彩膜基板),阵列基板上的第二取向调整结构与第一取向调整结构150的形成过程类似,在形成第二取向调整结构时不形成隔垫物140即可。
在至少一个示例中,为达到较好的工艺效果并保证第一/二取向调整结构的段差均一性,可以对显示面板的参数进行优化。例如,沿平行于第一衬底基板110的方向,各子象素的短边(即宽度)可以小于或等于50μm;例如, 各取向膜的厚度可以小于或等于
Figure PCTCN2015091550-appb-000002
(埃);例如,各取向膜对液晶的预倾角可以控制在2°左右,例如,可以选用聚酰亚胺等低预倾角(优选为2°左右预倾角)的材料。
在至少一个示例中,考虑到隔垫物140的弹性形变范围小于或等于0.4μm以及液晶材料光学各项异性限制,液晶层300的厚度可以为2.25~2.5μm。
在至少一个示例中,第一表面151的段差h可以为1~2μm,第二表面252的段差h′可以为1~2μm。
在至少一个示例中,ADS模式彩膜开口率<60%。
下面结合图5所示的显示面板中各结构的尺寸关系示意图进行说明。
在图5中,第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250一一对应,第一取向调整结构150的第一表面151和第二取向调整结构250的第二表面252彼此平行且与水平方向的夹角都为2°。
示例1:液晶层的厚度d=2.5μm,第一/二取向膜对液晶的预倾角TBA=2°,子象素的宽度Wsub=50μm,第一/二取向调整结构的段差h=h′=Wsub*Tan2°=1.746μm,第一、二基板之间的最小间隙s=2.5-1.74=0.76μm>0.4μm,ADS模式彩膜开口率=56.8%,黑矩阵130的宽度(Gate向BM的宽度)Wbm=20μm,Wbm/2=10μm,根据tanα=Wbm/2/(h+s),Tanβ=h/Wbm/2,可以推算出:无畴线观看范围是(-α,α),(β,90°)以及(-90°,-β),即(-72°,+72°),(80°,90°),(-90°,-80°),看到畴的观看范围是[-80°,-72°]和[72°,80°]。这样可保证大视角效果,并且畴线宏观不可见。
由于子像素短边向开口率Dp=1-Wbm/Wsub=(1-20/50)*100%=60%,因此,考虑到透过率,子像素可以如下设置:对于ADS模式或IPS模式,如图3a所示,可以将子像素的长边沿栅线260的延伸方向设置并拉长子像素;对于FFS模式,如图3b所示,沿栅线260的延伸方向,子像素(例如R、G、B)可以按照颜色周期性排列。
此外,隔垫物140可以设置在黑矩阵较宽的位置处,如图3a和图3b所示,黑矩阵包括分别沿栅线260和数据线270延伸的第一延伸部131和第二延伸部132,隔垫物可以设置在沿栅线260延伸的第一延伸部131(即Gate向BM)对应的区域中。假设黑矩阵130的第二延伸部132(即Data向BM) =8μm,以常规正方形象素推算出ADS模式的彩膜开口率为56.8%,IPS模式与ADS模式的彩膜开口率近似,FFS模式彩膜开口率31.2%,因此该方案优选ADS模式或IPS模式。
示例2:液晶层的厚度d=2.5μm,第一/二取向膜对液晶的预倾角TBA=2°,第一/二取向调整结构的段差h=h′=1μm,子像素的宽度Wsub=28.7μm,黑矩阵130的第一延伸部131(Gate向BM)的宽度Wbm=11.5μm,黑矩阵130的第二延伸部132(Data向BM)的宽度=8μm,ADS模式彩膜开口率=54.36%,无畴线与有畴线角度范围与示例1相同。在示例2中忽略光的折射。
示例3:可以在示例1的基础上优选d=2.25μm,则α角度可进一步增加到77.3度,这样可以优化无畴线范围。
示例4:可以在示例2的基础上优选d=2.25μm,则α角度可进一步增加到78.9度,这样可以优化无畴线范围。
需要说明的是,上述示例1~示例4将视角分为有畴线和无畴线两种情况,但实际上由于畴的区域很小,宏观并无明显差异;由于子像素尺寸的限制,上述示例尤其适用于高分辨率产品;ADS模式或IPS模式主要改善的是左右视角大视角色偏,FFS模式主要改善的是上下视角大视角色偏。
此外,在示例1~示例4中,α与TBA、Wsub、Dp、d有关;β与TBA、Wsub、Dp有关。示例1~示例4仅用于示例性说明,基于提供的几何关系和参数限制,本领域技术人员可根据设计需求进行灵活调整,此处不再赘述。
通过上述参数设置,可以尽量减小液晶与水平方向之间的夹角,以使显示面板整体表现出的液晶预倾角接近或等于0°、减少液晶畴并提高工艺可实施性。
实施例二
本实施例提供的显示面板中,第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250中的至少一个可以包括一个膜层(如图2所示),也可以包括多个膜层。
本实施例提供了一种显示面板,如图6所示,在该显示面板中,第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250都包括多个膜层。
第一基板100包括设置于第一衬底基板110上的第一衬底层101、多个呈矩阵排列的子像素(例如R、G、B)、设置于子像素之间的黑矩阵130、 设置于在子像素和黑矩阵130上且具有多个第一表面151的第一功能层105以及覆盖第一功能层105的第一取向膜120。例如,第一衬底层101和第一功能层105的材料可以包括氮化硅、氧化硅、树脂等。
第二基板200包括依次设置于第二衬底基板210上的第二衬底层201、板状公共电极240、绝缘层234(例如栅极绝缘层和钝化层的叠层)、设置于绝缘层234上的狭缝状像素电极230、具有多个第二表面252的第二功能层205、设置于第二功能层205上的第二取向膜220。例如,第二衬底层201和第二功能层205的材料可以包括氮化硅、氧化硅、树脂等。
本实施例与实施例一的区别在于:在实施例一中,通过利用第一、二功能层的材料形成凸起或凹陷结构的方式来形成相应的取向调整结构;在本实施例中,通过在各衬底基板上首先形成具有倾斜表面(与对应的第一/二表面相平行)的衬底层、之后在该衬底层上按照常规工艺形成其他膜层的方式,得到相应的取向调整结构,这样可以使一个像素内的水平电场分布更均匀。
本实施例提供的显示面板中各结构的设置可参考实施例一,重复之处不做赘述。
实施例三
本实施例提供了一种显示面板,如图7a所示,该显示面板与实施例一提供的显示面板的区别在于,第一表面151和第二表面252中的至少一个可以为曲面,该曲面可以为凹曲面,也可以为凸曲面。图7a以第一表面151为凹曲面且第二表面252为凸曲面为例进行说明。
如图7a所示,第一表面151的起伏方向从其顶端B在第一衬底基板110上的正投影到其底端A在第一衬底基板110上的正投影,与第一取向膜(图7a中未示出,可参见图2和图6)对液晶分子的取向方向(如图7a中位于上方从右到左的的箭头所示)一致;第二表面252的起伏方向从其顶端A'在第二衬底基板210上的正投影到其底端B'在第二衬底基板110上的正投影,与第二取向膜(图7a中未示出,可参见图2和图6)对液晶分子的取向方向(如图7a中位于下方从左到右的箭头所示)一致。
在本实施例的至少一个示例中,第一取向调整结构150还包括与第一表面151的一端(底端A)相交的第三表面153,第一表面151和第三表面153可以形成向第一衬底基板110所在侧凹陷的凹曲面BAC;第二取向调整结构 250还包括与第二表面252的一端(顶端A')相交的第四表面254,第二表面252和第四表面254可以形成凸向液晶层300的凸曲面C'A'B'。
例如,凹曲面BAC的起伏方向(即,从凹陷程度小的部分到凹陷程度大的部分的方向)可以与第一取向膜对液晶层中的液晶分子的取向方向一致。例如,在图7a中,可以将凹曲面BAC的BA侧的凹陷程度设置为小于AC侧的凹陷程度,使凹曲面BAC总体上的起伏方向是从第一表面151到第三表面153,即与第一取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向一致。
例如,第一表面151的顶端B处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ1可以小于第三表面153的顶端C处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ2,从而第一表面151上各点到第一衬底基板110的距离的平均值大于第三表面153上各点到第一衬底基板110的距离的平均值,因此,凹曲面BAC总体上的起伏方向是从第一表面151到第三表面153。
类似地,凸曲面C'A'B'的起伏方向(即,从凸起程度大的部分到凸起程度小的部分的方向)可以与第二取向膜对液晶层中的液晶分子的取向方向一致。例如,如图7a所示,可以将凸曲面C'A'B'的C'A'侧的凸起程度设置为大于A'B'侧的凸起程度,使凸曲面C'A'B'总体上的起伏方向是从第四表面254到第二表面252,即与第二取向膜对液晶分子的取向方向一致。
例如,第四表面254的底端C′处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ3可以大于第二表面252的底端B′处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ4,使得凸曲面C'A'B'总体上的起伏方向从第四表面254到第二表面252。
当然,本发明实施例并不限于图7a所示情形。例如,第四表面254的底端C′处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ3也可以小于第二表面252的底端B′处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ4。只要第二表面的起伏方向以及凸曲面C'A'B'总体上的起伏方向与第二取向膜对液晶分子的取向一致即可。
在本实施例的至少一个示例中,各取向膜对液晶的预倾角小于或等于3°,优选为2°左右,在这种情况下,第一表面151和第三表面153形成的凹曲面BAC的两端B、C处的切线分别与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角的差值可以小于或等于2°,第二表面252和第四表面254形成的凸曲面C'A'B'的两端C'、B'处的切线分别与第二衬底基板210之间的夹角的差值可以小于或等 于2°。
例如,第一表面151上的点所在处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角可以为0~1°,例如第一表面151的顶端B处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ1为1°,底端A处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角为0°;和/或,第三表面153上的点所在处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角可以为0~3°,例如第三表面153的顶端C处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ2为3°,底端A处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角为0°。
类似地,例如,第四表面254上的点所在处的切线与第二衬底基板210之间的夹角为0~3°,和/或第二表面252上的点所在处的切线与第二衬底基板210之间的夹角为0~1°。
例如,第一表面151的顶端B处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ1可以为2°,第三表面153的顶端C处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ2可以为4°;第四表面254的底端C′处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ3可以为4°,第二表面252的底端B′处的切线与第一衬底基板110之间的夹角θ4可以为2°。
上述凸曲面C'A'B'和凹曲面BAC为不规则的弧形结构,加工工艺较复杂,为了减小加工难度,在本实施例的至少一个示例中,上述凸曲面C'A'B'和凹曲面BAC可以为圆弧面,如图7b所示。在这种情况下,凹曲面BAC的两端B、C处的切线分别与第一衬底基板110的夹角相等,并且凸曲面C'A'B'的两端C'、B'处的切线分别与第二衬底基板210的夹角相等。
例如,如7b所示,第二取向调整结构250的曲率半径可以为313μm,张角可以为9.16°,如图7b中的虚线箭头所示。第一取向调整150的曲率半径以及张角可以与第二取向调整结构250类似。
在图7a和图7b所示的情形中,通过将第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250的面向液晶层的表面(例如凹曲面BAC和凸曲面C'A'B')设置为不规则的弧形或圆弧形,使得每一组凹曲面BAC和凸曲面C'A'B'可以形成类似圆环的结构,从而每一组取向调整结构之间的液晶层由图1a所示的平面变成了曲面,即液晶排列状态呈轻微的弯曲态,在这种情况下,在L0大视角下观察,当左右视角相等时,左视和右视的光程差近似相等。并且,由于各第一取向调整结构的凹曲面和各第二取向调整结构的凸曲面的弯曲程度 较小,可以视为各凹曲面和各凸曲面具有较大的曲率半径;当曲率半径足够大时,可以视为各凹曲面和各凸曲面的曲率半径相等;这样,显示面板的整个液晶层可以近似于一个环状结构,从而从各个角度观察时的光程差都近似相等。因此,本实施例可以避免L0画面下大视角色偏问题。
在本实施例的至少一个示例中,每个凹曲面BAC上各点的高度差可以小于或等于2μm,例如底端A和顶端B/C之间的高度差为2μm,每个凸曲面C'A'B'上各点的高度差可以小于或等于2μm,例如顶端A′和底端B′/C′之间的高度差为2μm。由于凹曲面和凸曲面的曲率半径较大,且高低点的高度差较小,因而取向调整结构不影响取向膜本身的取向方向。
在本实施例中,每个子像素都可以对应至少一个第一表面151和至少一个第二表面252。下面以图7a和图7b所示的第一取向调整结构150面向液晶层300的表面(即凹曲面BAC)与第二取向调整结构250面向液晶层300的表面(即凸曲面C'A'B')为例进行说明。
例如,第一表面151和第二表面252可以一一对应(即第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250一一对应),在这种情况下,可以将第一取向调整结构150的凹曲面BAC与第二取向调整结构250的凸曲面C'A'B'设置为相互平行,以尽量避免取向调整结构对液晶层的厚度造成影响,使液晶层300的各处厚度尽量保持一致,从而尽量减小在左、右侧等视角观察时的左视和右视的光程差,进而尽量避免显示面板在L0画面下的大视角色偏问题。
例如,在第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250一一对应且各自对应液晶层的表面彼此平行的情况下,还可以使第一取向调整结构150的凹曲面BAC在第一衬底基板110上的正投影与第二取向调整结构250的凸曲面C'A'B'在第一衬底基板110上的正投影重合。这样可以保证第一、二取向调整结构面向液晶层的表面不但彼此平行,并且形状和尺寸相同,从而可以进一步避免取向调整结构对液晶层厚度造成影响,保证液晶层厚度的均一性,从而更有利于避免色偏。
例如,子像素、第一表面151和第二表面252一一对应,即子像素、第一取向调整结构150和第二取向调整结构250也一一对应。在这种情况下,每个第一取向调整结构150的凹曲面BAC的边缘以及每个第二取向调整结构250的凸曲面C'A'B'的边缘可以都位于相邻的子像素之间,这使得相邻取 向调整结构的交界对应子像素之间的黑矩阵区域,从而可以尽量避免交界处的液晶畴影响显示效果。
需要说明的是,显示面板包括的阵列基板和对置基板中的一个上的取向调整结构可以包括凹曲面,另一个上的取向调整结构可以包括凸曲面,而不限于图7a和图7b所示的情形。
本实施例提供的包括凸曲面或凹曲面的取向调整结构可以包括一个膜层(参见实施例一中的相关描述),也可以包括多个膜层(参见实施例二中的相关描述)。
此外,图7a和图7b中未示出第一、二取向膜;并且,本实施例的适用范围、第一、二取向调整结构与隔垫物的尺寸关系、子像素与第一、二取向调整结构的对应关系等可参考实施例一中的相关描述,重复之处不再赘述。
实施例四
本实施例还提供了一种显示装置,其包括上述任一实施例提供的显示面板。例如,在一些示例中,该显示装置还可以包括为显示面板提供背光的背光源。例如,该显示装置可以为:液晶面板、电子纸、手机、电脑、电视机、显示器、笔记本电脑、数码相框、导航仪等任何具有显示功能的产品或部件。
综上所述,本发明实施例提供了一种显示面板及显示装置,通过在阵列基板和对置基板上分别设置取向调整结构,使得各基板上的取向膜相对于水平方向倾斜,以减小液晶层中的液晶分子与水平方向的夹角,从而改善水平电场型液晶显示装置的L0画面下左右大视角色偏问题,并且可以突破取向膜的材料限制,使得制作近似0°TBA产品成为可能。
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。
