摘要:
The invention concerns active matrix liquid crystal display devices comprising a layer of liquid crystal molecules (LC) sandwiched between two substrates (SUB1, SUB2) polarizing means (POL1, POL2) and a pixel electrode (PX) and a counterelectrode (CT) formed in each pixel between the first substrate (SUB1) and the liquid crystal layer for twisting the liquid crystal molecules (LC) through an electric field between the pixel electrode (PX) and the counterelectrode (CT) and having a component (EDR) in parallel with the first substrate (SUB1), wherein the dielectric anisotropy Δε and the effective thickness d eff of the liquid crystal layer, the width Wp of the pixel electrode (PX) in the short-side direction, the width Wc of the counterelectrode (CT) in the short-side direction, and the gap L between the pixel electrode (PX) and the counterelectrode (CT) satisfy the following relationships: Δε > 0, 2.8 µm ≦ d eff ≦ 4.5 µm, 1.2 x d eff ≦ Wp ≦ L/1.2, and 1.2 x d eff ≦ Wc ≦ L/1.2, or Δε 4.2 µm ≦ d eff ≦ 8.0 µm, 1.2 x d eff ≦ Wp ≦ L/1.2, and 1.2 x d eff ≦ Wc ≦ L/1.2. This concept leads to a wide viewing angle like that of cathode ray tubes, improved picture quality and lower power consumption.
