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.

摘要翻译： 当高于用于图像显示的显示电压的转变电压被施加到液晶时，液晶可以转变到弯曲取向。 因此，通过在图像显示周期之前仅对依赖于转换电压的过渡时间施加转换电压以使液晶中的弯曲转变，可以获得具有高速响应的OCB模式LCD 。 像素区域之间的间隔d被设定为小于例如5μm的过渡距离，使得弯曲过渡在像素间区域上扩展，从而在整个显示区域上实现弯曲转变。 在有源矩阵型LCD中，由于向公共电极施加过渡电压，在公共电极与设置在像素电极之间的数据线或栅极线之间产生电场，从而在整个表面上获得弯曲过渡 的显示屏幕。 此外，由取向膜设定的预倾角被确定为1.2°以上，使得产生大量用于引起弯曲转变的过渡源，从而确保高速弯曲转变。 此外，为了加速弯曲取向的响应时间，预倾角被设定为3°以下。

摘要： 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.

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.

摘要： On a first substrate, a TFT which is a switching element is provided for each pixel, and above an insulating film covering this TFT, a reflective layer which is insulated from the TFT and which reflects light entering a second substrate and transmitting through a second electrode made of ITO is formed. Further, a first electrode having a work function similar to that of the second electrode and made of a transparent conductive material such as ITO is formed closer to a liquid crystal layer than the reflective layer, and this first electrode is connected with the TFT. With this configuration, the liquid crystal layer can be symmetrically AC driven by the first and second electrodes. A reliable connection between the first electrode and the TFT is provided through a connection metal layer made of a refractory metal.

摘要： A liquid crystal display is disclosed in which a TFT is formed by forming on a substrate (10), a gate electrode (11), a gate insulation film (13), an a-Si layer (14), an etching stopper (15), an (N+a-Si) layer (16), a source electrode (17), and a drain electrode (18) in this sequence. Covering this TFT, an inter-layer insulation film (20) is formed, on which a pixel electrode (22) is then formed. In a common electrode (31), there is formed an orientation control window (32) where no electrodes are situated. With this arrangement, it is possible to prevent the orientation of liquid crystal molecules from being disturbed due to the influence of electric fields generated by the gate electrode (11), the drain electrode (18), or their respective associated lines. As a result, the orientation of liquid crystal molecules is effectively controlled through electric fields generated in the sloped direction around the edges of the pixel electrode (22) and orientation control window (32), thereby obtaining preferable pixel dividing and a wider range of visibility.

摘要： A reflective layer for reflecting light incident from a second substrate side and transmitting through a second electrode made of ITO or the like is formed above a first substrate, a switching element provided for each pixel, and an insulating film covering the switching element, the reflective layer being insulated from the switching element. A first electrode having a work function similar to the second electrode and made of a transparent conductive material such as ITO is formed more proximate to a liquid crystal layer than is the reflective layer and is connected to the switching element. The thickness of the first electrode is set to 100 Å or less or in a range approximately from 750 Å to 1250 Å. Alternatively, the switching element maybe connected to the reflective electrode, the first electrode and the reflective electrode which are formed with an insulating film therebetween may be capacitively coupled, and the first electrode may be driven by the reflective electrode via the capacitor.

摘要： In an ECB LCD, in which a liquid crystal layer enclosed between a pair of substrates is driven based on R, G, B signals so that transmittance of R, G, B light components at the liquid crystal layer is controlled for color display, the voltage levels of the liquid crystal driving signals for R, G, B light are set such that the optimum transmittance, i.e., the maximum transmittance, can be achieved with respect to the R, G, B light components. With this arrangement, wavelength dependency, if any, of the liquid crystal with respect to the light coming into the light crystal layer can be modified so that color display is achieved with superior color reproducibility.

摘要： A liquid crystal display device is configured by sealing a liquid crystal layer between a first substrate including a first electrode and a second substrate including a second electrode. Each pixel region includes an alignment controller for dividing liquid crystal alignment within one pixel into multiple sections having different alignment directions. The alignment controller at least includes a region in which an electrode absent portion and a protrusion including a slant surface protruding toward the liquid crystal layer are formed at the same location in an overlapping manner on at least one of the first substrate or the second substrate side. Using both the liquid crystal alignment control effected by an adjustable electric field generated at the electrode absent portion and the alignment control effected by the slant surface of the protrusion, alignment division of the liquid crystal can be reliably performed within a small area.
