摘要:
A liquid crystal display device includes, in sequence, a first substrate, a liquid crystal layer, and a second substrate. The first substrate, the liquid crystal layer, and the second substrate are disposed in a subpixel having a transmissive portion for performing transmissive display and a reflective portion for performing reflective display. The first substrate includes a first electrode and a second electrode. The second substrate includes a third electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode are disposed in the transmissive portion and at least the first electrode and the third electrode are disposed in the reflective portion. Alignment of the liquid crystal layer is controlled by an electric field occurring between the first electrode and the second electrode in the transmissive portion and by an electric field occurring between the first electrode and the third electrode in the reflective portion.

A heads-up display system includes a liquid crystal display unit that can change optical characteristics in accordance with a video signal. The light modulated by the liquid crystal display unit is projected on a surface of a transparent plate that can reflect the light so as to realize a projection display. The light projected on the transparent plate is polarized light having a transmission axis extending in a direction parallel to a line defining the center with respect to incident light and reflective light of the transparent plate.

The invention is directed to a higher contrast in a display device having a lighting device as a front light. A lighting portion is attached to a reflective liquid crystal display portion. A first transparent substrate and a second transparent substrate made of a glass substrate etc. are attached to each other with a sealing layer coated on those peripheral portions therebetween. The back surface of the first transparent substrate is attached to the reflective liquid crystal display portion, and an organic EL element is formed on the front surface of the first transparent substrate. The organic EL element is sealed in a space surrounded by the first transparent substrate, the second transparent substrate, and the sealing layer. The organic EL element is formed in a region corresponding to a pixel region of the reflective liquid crystal display portion. A desiccant layer is formed on the front surface of the second transparent substrate.

The invention is directed to the higher contrast in a liquid crystal display device (LCD) having a lighting portion as a front light. A lighting portion is formed by interposing an organic EL layer between a transparent substrate and a transparent substrate. A light shield layer is formed covering a cathode layer of the organic EL element layer. The lighting portion is disposed above the reflective LCD. The reflective LCD has a polarizing plate, a light scattering layer, an opposing substrate, a common electrode, a liquid crystal layer, and a TFT substrate. When the refractive indexes of seven layers of an anode layer, the transparent substrate, a resin layer, the polarizing plate, the light scattering layer, the opposing substrate, and the common electrode are defined as n(1), n(2), n(3), n(4), n(5), n(6), and n(7) respectively, the relation of 1.33>n(k)/n(k+1)>0.75(k=1-6) holds.
摘要:
An orientation controller which divides a pixel into a plurality of different priority alignment regions and an additional orientation controller are provided in a pixel. The additional orientation controller is provided at least at an end of a pixel of a long-side alignment region formed along the long side of the pixel among the divided alignment regions, for example, around a center position of the long side of the pixel. The additional orientation controller can be realized, for example, by forming a cutout pattern in a side of a first electrode (pixel electrode) forming a part of the pixel. Because the alignment direction is also controlled by the additional orientation controller, the alignment of liquid crystal in this region is stabilized.
摘要:
When a transition voltage, which is higher than a display voltage for image display, is applied to liquid crystal, the liquid crystal can transition to a bend alignment. Therefore, by applying a transition voltage to liquid crystal prior to image display period only for a transition time which depends on a transition voltage so as to cause a bend transition in the liquid crystal, an OCB mode LCD with a high speed response can be obtained. An interval d between pixel regions is set to be less than, for example, a transition distance of 5 μm, so that a bend transition expands over inter-pixel regions to thereby achieve a bend transition all over the display region. In an active matrix type LCD, a electrical field is caused to be generated between a common electrode and data lines or gate lines disposed between pixel electrodes due to application of a transition voltage to the common electrode, thereby obtaining a bent transition over the entire surface of the display screen. Further, a pretilt angle set by an alignment film is determined to be 1.2° or more, such that a great number of transition sources for causing a bend transition are generated to thereby secure a high speed bend transition. Also, the pretilt angle is set to be 3° or less for accelerating a response time in a bend alignment.

When using a LCD panel in a normally-black mode which controls, by using an electric field, the tilt direction of vertically-aligned liquid crystal molecules sandwiched between first and second substrates, the value of a voltage to be supplied to the liquid crystal layer for a black display is set in a range which is larger than 0 V, and, preferably, greater than an optical characteristics changing voltage Vth for the liquid crystal, and enables contrast of 50 or over. With this arrangement, it is possible to increase a response time of the liquid crystal when switching a vertically-aligned LCD from the OFF to ON states.
摘要:
In a liquid crystal display of TFT active matrix type, the direction of orientation vectors of liquid crystal molecules are controlled for providing a wide viewing angle and preventing occurrence of disclination from making a rough display screen. With an orientation control electrode disposed on the periphery of a display electrode, an orientation control window, an electrode nonexistent portion, is formed in a common electrode and the potential difference between the orientation control electrode and the common electrode is set smaller than that between the display electrode and the common electrode. Alternatively, an orientation control window is likewise formed in the display electrode and the potential difference between the orientation control electrode, and the common electrode is set larger than that between the display electrode and the common electrode.
