[ example two ]
As shown in fig. 7, a liquid crystal display panel according to a second embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the liquid crystal display panel according to the first embodiment (fig. 5), except that in the present embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is a full-surface structure, the second substrate 20 is further provided with a full-surface second quarter-wave plate 26, and a fast-slow axis of the second quarter-wave plate 26 is 45 ° to the second transmission axis X2 of the second polarizer 50. Because the entire first quarter-wave plate 13 is used, the second quarter-wave plate 26 needs to be attached to the second substrate 20 side to correspond to the first quarter-wave plate 13, so that the normal display of the transmissive region T is not affected. Of course, the second quarter-wave plate 26 only needs to correspond to the transmission region T, but this increases the etching process.
In this embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed between the first substrate 10 and the auxiliary electrode 14, and the second quarter-wave plate 26 is disposed between the second substrate 20 and the second polarizer 50, however, the first quarter-wave plate 13 and the second quarter-wave plate 26 may also be disposed on other layers according to actual requirements, for example, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed between the first substrate 10 and the color-resisting layer 11, and the second quarter-wave plate 26 is disposed between the second substrate 20 and the common electrode 21, which is not limited thereto.
Compared with the first embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 in the present embodiment does not need to adopt an additional etching process, and compared with the etching process adopted for the first quarter-wave plate 13, the manufacturing time required for additionally increasing the second quarter-wave plate 26 is less, and the production efficiency is increased.

[ third example ]
As shown in fig. 8, a liquid crystal display panel according to a third embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the liquid crystal display panel according to the second embodiment (fig. 7), except that in this embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed between the first substrate 10 and the first polarizer 40, and the second quarter-wave plate 26 is disposed between the second substrate 20 and the second polarizer 50, and of course, the first quarter-wave plate 13 and the second quarter-wave plate 26 may also be disposed in other layers according to actual requirements, for example, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed between the first substrate 10 and the color-resist layer 11, and the second quarter-wave plate 26 is disposed between the second substrate 20 and the common electrode 21, which is not limited thereto.
Compared with the second embodiment, in the present embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed outside the liquid crystal cell, that is, on the side of the first substrate 10 away from the liquid crystal layer 30, so that the difficulty of the manufacturing process can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the rest of the structure and the operation principle of the present embodiment are the same as those of the present embodiment, and are not described herein again.
[ example four ]
As shown in fig. 9 to 11, the lcd panel according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the lcd panel according to the first embodiment (fig. 3 and 5), except that in the present embodiment, the auxiliary electrode 14 is in a whole-surface structure, and the pixel electrodes 23 are in a block structure and are distributed in each pixel unit P. The liquid crystal layer 30 uses negative liquid crystal molecules (liquid crystal molecules having negative dielectric anisotropy). With the technical progress, the performance of the negative liquid crystal is remarkably improved, and the application is more and more extensive. In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, in an initial state (i.e., in a state where no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal display device), the negative liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 30 are perpendicular to the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, i.e., the negative liquid crystal molecules are in a standing posture in the initial state, and the auxiliary electrode 14 may form a vertical electric field with the reflective electrode 25 or a vertical electric field with the pixel electrode 23, thereby forming a VA display mode. In the initial state, the reflective region R and the transmissive region T are both in a dark state, i.e., the reflective region R has no reflective effect, and the transmissive region T has no backlight source passing through.
As shown in fig. 10, in the reflective state, the auxiliary electrode 14 and the reflective electrode 25 apply corresponding driving voltages to form a vertical electric field E1, and the negative liquid crystal molecules in the reflective region R corresponding to the crystal layer 30 are deflected to lie down and assume a reflective state. The pixel electrode 23 does not apply any voltage, and the transmissive region T is in a dark state. At this time, the liquid crystal display panel assumes a reflective state.
As shown in fig. 11, in the transmissive state, the auxiliary electrode 14 and the pixel electrode 23 are applied with corresponding driving voltages to form a vertical electric field E2, and the negative liquid crystal molecules in the transmissive region T corresponding to the crystal layer 30 are deflected to lie flat and assume a transmissive state. The reflective electrode 25 is used as a Black Matrix (BM) in a dark state without applying any voltage to the reflective region R. At this time, the liquid crystal display panel assumes a transmissive state.
Compared with the first embodiment, the VA display mode is adopted in this embodiment, so that the light leakage effect of the reflective region R can be reduced in the dark state, and the contrast ratio can be improved.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the rest of the structure and the operation principle of the present embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and are not described herein again.
[ example five ]
As shown in fig. 12, a liquid crystal display panel according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the liquid crystal display panel according to the fourth embodiment (fig. 11), except that in this embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is a full-surface structure, the second substrate 20 is further provided with a full-surface second quarter-wave plate 26, and a fast-slow axis of the second quarter-wave plate 26 is 45 ° to the second transmission axis X2 of the second polarizer 50. Because the entire first quarter-wave plate 13 is used, the second quarter-wave plate 26 needs to be attached to the second substrate 20 side to correspond to the first quarter-wave plate 13, so that the normal display of the transmissive region T is not affected. Of course, the second quarter-wave plate 26 only needs to correspond to the transmission region T, but this increases the etching process.
In this embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed between the first substrate 10 and the auxiliary electrode 14, and the second quarter-wave plate 26 is disposed between the second substrate 20 and the second polarizer 50, however, the first quarter-wave plate 13 and the second quarter-wave plate 26 may also be disposed on other layers according to actual requirements, for example, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed between the first substrate 10 and the color-resisting layer 11, and the second quarter-wave plate 26 is disposed between the second substrate 20 and the common electrode 21, which is not limited thereto.
Compared with the fourth embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 in the present embodiment does not need to adopt an additional etching process, and compared with the etching process adopted for the first quarter-wave plate 13, the manufacturing time required for additionally increasing the second quarter-wave plate 26 is less, and the production efficiency is increased.
Those skilled in the art should understand that the rest of the structure and the operation principle of the present embodiment are the same as those of the fourth embodiment, and are not described herein again.
[ sixth example ]
As shown in fig. 13, a liquid crystal display panel according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the liquid crystal display panel according to the fifth embodiment (fig. 12), except that in this embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed between the first substrate 10 and the first polarizer 40, and the second quarter-wave plate 26 is disposed between the second substrate 20 and the second polarizer 50, and of course, the first quarter-wave plate 13 and the second quarter-wave plate 26 may also be disposed in other layers according to actual requirements, for example, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed between the first substrate 10 and the color-resist layer 11, and the second quarter-wave plate 26 is disposed between the second substrate 20 and the common electrode 21, which is not limited thereto.
Compared with the fifth embodiment, in the present embodiment, the first quarter-wave plate 13 is disposed outside the liquid crystal cell, that is, on the side of the first substrate 10 away from the liquid crystal layer 30, so that the difficulty of the manufacturing process can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
Those skilled in the art should understand that the rest of the structure and the operation principle of the present embodiment are the same as those of the fifth embodiment, and are not described herein again.
