Description

液晶显示装置
技术领域
[0001] 本申请涉及液晶显示装置, 尤其涉及一种改善液晶显示装置不同视角的 γ特性 的技术。
背景技术
[0002] 液晶显示装置是具有高分辨率、 形状薄、 重量轻以及消费电力低等优点的平面 显示装置, 近年来, 伴随着显示性能的提高、 生产能力的提高以及对其它显示 装置的价格竞争力的提高, 市场规模迅速扩大。
[0003] 现有技术一般的扭转向列方式 (ΤΝ方式)的液晶显示装置可以使具有正的介电率 各向异性的液晶分子的长轴对于基板表面近似平行取向, 而且, 进行取向处理 , 使液晶分子的长轴沿液晶层的厚度方向在上下基板间近似 90度扭转。 在液晶 层上施加电压的话, 液晶分子平行电场地恢复, 解除扭曲取向 (扭转取向)。 ΤΝ 方式的液晶显示装置通过利用伴随液晶分子根据电压的取向变化的旋光性的变 化, 控制透光量。
[0004] ΤΝ方式的液晶显示装置的生产余量广阔生产率十分出色。 一方面, 有显示性 能特别是视角特性的问题。 具体说, ΤΝ方式的液晶显示装置的显示面从斜方向 观察的话, 显示的对比度显著降低, 从斜方向观察在正面观察可以明显观察到 从黑到白的多个灰度等级的图像的话, 有灰度等级间的亮度差变得显著不明显 的问题。 此外, 显示的灰度等级特性反转, 也会出现从正面观察更暗的部分从 斜方向观察更亮的现象 (所谓的灰度等级反转现象)。
[0005] 近年来, 作为改善这些 ΤΝ方式的液晶显示装置视角特性的液晶显示装置, 幵 发出共面切换方式 (IPS方式)、 多域垂直对准方式 (MVA方式)、 轴对称取向方式( ASM方式)等。 这些广视角方式的液晶显示装置中都解决了关于视角特性的上述 具体问题。 亦即, 不产生在从斜方向观察显示面的场合显示对比度显著降低、 显示灰度等级反转等问题。
[0006] 这里, 所谓 γ特性是表示亮度的灰度等级依赖性, γ特性在正面方向和斜方向不 同, 因为灰度等级显示状态根据观察方向而不同, 所以在表示照片等图像的场 合, 或者在显示电视播放等的场合, 特别会出现问题。 γ特性的视角依赖性的问 题在 MVA方式和 ASM方式下比 IPS方式更显著。 一方面, IPS方式和 MVA方式或
ASM方式相比, 很难以高的生产率生产正面观察吋对比度高的面板。 从这点出 发, 特别期望改善 MVA方式和或 ASM方式的液晶显示装置中的 γ特性的视角依 赖性。
