Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device is provided that has favorable display characteristics in a display mode using a vertical electric field and a horizontal electric field. This liquid crystal display device includes a first substrate and a second substrate arranged facing each other, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate. The liquid crystal layer has liquid crystal molecules having a negative dielectric anisotropy, and the first substrate has a plate-shaped first common electrode and a pixel electrode formed in a separate layer from the first common electrode with an insulating film therebetween. The pixel electrode has a comb-shaped structure, and the second substrate has a second common electrode with a liquid crystal orientation structure that is linear in a plan view.
Abstract:
Provided are a liquid crystal display device and a liquid crystal driving method which can suitably switch between a driving operation with excellent visibility and a driving operation with an excellent response speed. The liquid crystal display device includes upper and lower substrates; liquid crystals sandwiched between the upper and lower substrates; and at least two pairs of electrodes disposed in the upper and lower substrates, the at least two pairs of electrodes including a first pair of electrodes consisting of electrodes disposed in one of the upper and lower substrates, and a second pair of electrodes consisting of electrodes disposed in the respective upper and lower substrates, the liquid crystal display device configured to drive the liquid crystals by generating a potential difference between each pair of the at least two pairs of electrodes, and to switch between a first driving operation of generating a potential difference only between the first pair of electrodes and a second driving operation of generating a potential difference between the first pair of electrodes and between the second pair of electrodes.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a liquid crystal display panel and a liquid crystal display device which have improved viewing angle characteristics due to having a multi-domain structure and the like and can sufficiently improve transmittance. The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display panel, including a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other; and a liquid crystal layer interposed between the substrates, the first substrate and/or the second substrate including a vertical alignment film on the liquid crystal layer side to align liquid crystal molecules, at a voltage lower than a threshold voltage, in the vertical direction to main surfaces of the substrates, the first substrate and/or the second substrate including a common electrode, the common electrode including a grid-shaped first common electrode, the first substrate including a pixel electrode, and the pixel electrode being branched.
