Summary of the invention
(problem that invention institute desire solves)
Fig. 7 is from the cut-open view of the VII-VII line cut-out of Fig. 5.As shown in Figure 7, in existing liquid crystal indicator 10A, the side end of pixel electrode 40 that covers the zone of suitable 1 pixel forms to overlook to observe with sweep trace 32 and signal wire 33 equitant modes.Its purpose is in order to prevent the light leak from this seam portion, promptly prevent to make from the light backlight of liquid crystal indicator 10A the light leak that liquid crystal layer produced by the part of LCD alignment disorder by apply voltage in the pixel electrode end, and make sweep trace 32, signal wire 33 and pixel electrode 40 overlaid persons, usually, sweep trace 32 and signal wire 33 are same widths, its width L
1Be about 8 μ m, the width L overlapping with pixel electrode 40
2Be about 2 μ m respectively.
Yet when forming pixel electrode on sweep trace and signal wire, between sweep trace 32, signal wire 33 and pixel electrode 40, as shown in Figure 7, formation has predetermined electrostatic capacitance Csd (, Cgd).If (, Cgd) is more than predetermined value, when liquid crystal indicator 10A drives, at display frame meeting generation crosstalk (cross talk) this electrostatic capacitance Csd.Crosstalking is the background frame that shows in white especially when carrying out black display, can take place at the periphery of this black display.This generation mechanism of crosstalking is considered to because of shown below that reason caused.That is, Fig. 8 shows to produce the picture of crosstalking to liquid crystal indicator 10A shown in Figure 7 at for example Fig. 5.When white background shown in Figure 8 shows the picture of black, will be made as an X in the white background area, about black picture, when promptly being made as a some Y in the zone of signal line side, the voltage waveform of each point X, Y is as shown in Figure 9.
As shown in Figure 9, when the gate electrode of TFT was applied signal, drive TFT also began to write to pixel electrode.And the current potential of the pixel electrode of this moment is kept the scheduled period (with reference to Fig. 9 A) by auxiliary capacitive electrode.Moreover during this write, the white that is written in pixel electrode showed that the current potential of usefulness cooperates the amplitude of counter electrode current potential Vcom, during keeping in change (with reference to Fig. 9 B) up and down.Under this state, when observation is applied to the voltage waveform of the signal wire of an X, Y and pixel electrode, for a signal wire of X part, be during the next one writes, often to apply the voltage that white shows before the arrival, and the current potential of the pixel electrode of this X part is to change (with reference to Fig. 9 C, Fig. 9 D) up and down with same-amplitude before the arrival during the next one writes.
On the other hand, when the signal wire of some Y part being applied the voltage that black display uses on the way, the current potential of the pixel electrode of some Y part signal wire is applied black display with voltage during, amplitude can change (with reference to and 9E).As a result, the virtual value that is applied to the voltage of liquid crystal can be in an X, Y difference, and produces difference delta V, and this difference is to be shown as luminance difference and to cause and produce the reason (with reference to Fig. 9 F) of crosstalking.
That is, in the liquid crystal indicator 10A shown in the prior art, have because of electrostatic capacitance Csd and produce the problem of crosstalking in electrostatic capacitance Cgd that produces between sweep trace 32 and the pixel electrode 40 and generation between signal wire 33 and plain electrode 40.For addressing this problem, if increase by the drain electrode D of auxiliary capacitive electrode 36 and TFT34 the capacitor that constitutes of overlapping part electric capacity, promptly keep the auxiliary capacitor of electric capacity as the signal of active-matrix action usefulness, though then can ignore this electrostatic capacitance Cgd, Csd, but in order to increase this auxiliary capacitor, the area of auxiliary capacitive electrode 36 is increased, because this auxiliary capacitive electrode 36 is to be made of the conductive materials that hides optical activity, therefore more can produce the problem that each aperture ratio of pixels reduces.
Moreover, in the liquid crystal indicator 10A of prior art, as shown in Figure 7, when making array base palte 11 and filter substrate 12 superimposed, between the common electrode 23 of the signal wire 33 of array base palte 11 and filter substrate 12, also be formed with electrostatic capacitance Csc.This electrostatic capacitance Csc forms between sweep trace 32 and common electrode 23 too, and when this electrostatic capacitance was made as Cgc, the equivalent electrical circuit of 1 pixel of liquid crystal indicator 10A as shown in figure 10.
As shown in figure 10, electrostatic capacitance Csc and Cgc can be to causing harmful effect to utmost point electrode potential Vcom, in detail, because of this electrostatic capacitance Csc and Cgc consume electric power, therefore also have the problem that the consumption electric power of liquid crystal indicator 10A increases.
And, use has the character that weak current flows when the TFT of liquid crystal indicator has irradiates light, when producing this weak current, produce flicker owing to causing to hinder to conducting (ON)/shutoff (OFF) control of TFT, therefore in existing liquid crystal indicator, to prevent that in order reaching light from leaking the purpose to TFT, will to deceive matrix configuration on filter substrate to overlook the overlapping mode of observation and TFT, to prevent that outer rayed is to TFT.Thus, though can suppress outer rayed to a certain degree to TFT, but since in that black matrix is set on the filter substrate can and TFT between form relatively broader gap, therefore can't prevent from oblique outer light, and can be radiated at the black matrix that is constituted by crome metal etc. from light backlight, its a part of light can reflect and be radiated at TFT, thereby has and can produce light and leak problem to TFT.
The inventor etc. are point in view of the above problems, study a kind of light leak and flicker that prevents from the peripheral part of sweep trace and signal wire, and can suppress to be created in found that of liquid crystal indicator of the electrostatic capacitance between signal wire and sweep trace and the pixel electrode well: by on signal wire and sweep trace, forming than this signal wire and the wideer resin black matrix of sweep trace, pixel electrode and signal wire and sweep trace are overlapping can not to produce light leak yet even do not make, and because of signal wire and sweep trace do not need to carry out shading between each pixel, and signal wire and sweep trace can be become in a narrow margin, therefore can suppress to be created in the electric capacity of the electrostatic capacitance between signal wire and sweep trace and the common electrode, grind thus and create the present invention.

(effect of invention)
The present invention can bring into play following excellent results by possessing above-mentioned formation.Promptly, invention according to the liquid crystal indicator of each side of the present invention, pixel electrode be arranged on not can with signal wire and sweep trace position overlapped, but with the overlapping mode of this pixel electrode in the interelectrode bottom of pixel adjacent, be formed with the screening optical activity member of resin black matrix, insulativity, therefore between pixel electrode, can not produce light leak.Promptly, in existing liquid crystal indicator, in order to make peripheral part can not produce light leak at signal wire etc., by making signal wire and pixel electrode overlapping, and make light can not be radiated at the liquid crystal of the orientation disorder that the pixel electrode end produced, but, therefore need not form pixel electrode and replace signal wire and sweep trace to overlook the overlapping mode of observation and signal wire and sweep trace because the screening optical activity member of the present invention by resin black matrix, insulativity carries out shading well.Thus, can suppress to be created in electrostatic capacitance Csd between pixel electrode and the signal wire especially well, promptly become the electrostatic capacitance of the generation reason of crosstalking, therefore even do not increase formation keeps the auxiliary capacitor of electric capacity as signal the area of auxiliary capacitance electrode, the demonstration that also can suppress to crosstalk etc. is bad.In addition, owing to can suppress this electrostatic capacitance, so because of the electric power that this electrostatic capacitance consumed also can be suppressed, and a kind of liquid crystal indicator that consumes electric power of cutting down can be provided.Moreover, this electrostatic capacitance Csd applies various signals to signal wire, therefore have the capacity ratio that is created between signal wire and the pixel electrode and be created in the bigger tendency of electric capacity between sweep trace and the pixel electrode, get final product on the signal wire so resin black matrix is arranged at least.This is to make this electric capacity can not become excessive former owing to sweep trace only is supplied to the ON/OFF signal TFT.Yet, if resin black matrix also is set on sweep trace, can not cause demonstration bad yet, and can cut down the electrostatic capacitance between sweep trace and pixel electrode and sweep trace and common electrode yet at this, therefore can realize consuming electric power liquid crystal indicator still less.
In above-mentioned first aspect,, be preferably 4 μ m owing to do not need in the past therefore can to make than 3 to 5 thin about 8 μ m μ m in order to guarantee to hide signal wire and the sweep trace about the required about 8 μ m of optical activity.Thus, the electrostatic capacitance that produces between the signal wire of narrowed width and sweep trace and pixel electrode also will inevitably diminish, and can realize the liquid crystal indicator of more high efficiency power consumption.And, replace signal wire and sweep trace this moment and be 6 to 10 μ m in order to the width of the resin black matrix of keeping the screening optical activity between pixel electrode, be preferably the 8 μ m that equate with existing signal wire and sweep trace, hide optical activity and compare lower in the past problem and do not have.
Moreover, in above-mentioned first aspect, resin black matrix is embedded in the interlayer film, therefore can make the thickness of interlayer film identical with existing person, therefore do not have the problem of the thickening of liquid crystal indicator own, and resin black matrix is to be insulated by organic or inorganic around to dispose under the membrane-enclosed state, therefore can not be subjected to the harmful effect from the electric charge of each distribution.
Moreover, in above-mentioned each side, by being arranged on resin black matrix between pixel electrode, hiding the optical activity member, though can suppress light leak etc. on the distribution, but if this resin black matrix, screening optical activity member also were set on TFT, then could positively stop light to leak to TFT.Promptly, compare with the situation that black matrix is set on filter substrate as prior art, the distance of black matrix and TFT is extremely narrow, therefore can take place hardly to reflex to resin black matrix and be radiated at the situation of TFT, and can suppress to produce flicker well from the intrusion of oblique outer light and from light backlight.In addition, be arranged on resin black matrix on the TFT, hide that the optical activity member can use and above-mentioned resin black matrix, hide optical activity member same material person, therefore, if the resin black matrix, the screening optical activity member that are arranged between pixel electrode are formed in same step, then can not increase manufacturing step, therefore comparatively desirable.
Moreover, in above-mentioned first aspect, be not limited to the penetrating type liquid crystal indicator, if form reflectance coating on the light shielding part of auxiliary capacitance electrode in for example being provided with 1 pixel region and TFT etc., then become the semi penetration type liquid crystal indicator, if, then become reflection-type liquid-crystal display device at the whole reflectance coating that forms of pixel region, by possessing any above-mentioned formation, all can provide a kind of liquid crystal indicator that suppresses to show bad high-level efficiency power consumption.

Particularly, the shading member 48 of insulativity is to mix with propylene carbon coated particle at general resin material.Because the tool insulativity, thus be good with the high resistance person, particularly with 10
13Ω cm is above to be good.And specific inductive capacity is good with the junior, and DIELECTRIC CONSTANT is more preferred from below the 10F/m below 14F/m, and is comparatively desirable to lower unwanted electric capacity.
In addition, this shading member 48 requires that with the black matrix 50 of filter substrate 11 sides the screening optical activity is arranged, but is constituted with different materials.Shading member 48 is having the high optical activity person of screening for good as far as possible, but not necessarily will have and the equal screening optical activity of the black matrix 50 of filter substrate 12 sides.Usually the black matrix 50 of filter substrate 12 sides be arranged on than be close to be formed on whole of substrate common electrode 23 more near transparency carrier 21 sides, so main as long as only consider the screening optical activity.Therefore, general black matrix 50 forms by make the mode of film forming such as crome metal with sputtering method.Although and be about 500, extremely thin, the screening optical activity is very high, prevents the colour mixture that is caused because of the adjacency look thus.On the other hand, shading member 48 as mentioned above, is not only wished to have the screening optical activity, and is had high resistance and low-k between signal wire 33 and pixel electrode 40.Therefore it is more important than black matrix 50 also can be properties of materials, but the screening optical activity is than black matrix 50 difference persons.
This shading member 48 makes similarly to Example 1 and utilizes spin-coating method film forming person to be patterned as predetermined shape.Particularly, in the existing panel of Figure 12 B shown in the reference diagram, the overlapping part of signal wire and pixel electrode not only, the top that also comprises signal wire 33 all is provided with shading member 48.Therefore, part at signal wire and the pixel electrode overlapping in order to have shading now, the electric capacity that must produce is significantly reduced, and existing by signal wire and pixel electrode is overlapping prevents that near the light leak the edge at pixel electrode from also can prevent by shading member 48.
This shading member 48 is to be made of resin, thus form easily thicker, so by making it become the roughly thickness about 1.0 to 1.5 μ m, and can cover effectively since the oblique light of injecting backlight.And, in order to cover the thicker shading member 48 of formation and to make having an even surface of array base palte 12 sides, be on the interlayer film 39 of the roughly thickness about 2.0 to 3.0 μ m in film forming, pixel electrode 40 can be formed, thereby the lifting of aperture opening ratio can be sought.Particularly,, can cover since the oblique light of injecting backlight in array base palte 12 sides effectively, therefore not too need to consider in array base palte 12 sides from light leak backlight by shading member 48 is formed on array base palte 12 sides than heavy back.Therefore, the black matrix 50 of filter substrate 11 sides also need not be considered the light leak from array base palte 12 sides backlight, therefore can make black matrix 50 careful, more can seek the lifting of aperture opening ratio.
Moreover, cover shading member 48 tops with interlayer film 39 again, but also can interlayer film 39 be set, and on shading member 48, form pixel electrode 40 in this part.Yet, DIELECTRIC CONSTANT by the interlayer film 39 that organic insulating film constituted is about 4F/m, than this, the permittivity ratio interlayer film 39 of above-mentioned shading member 48 is higher, therefore in order to reduce unwanted electric capacity as far as possible, preferably cover the structure on the top of shading member 48 in advance with interlayer film 39.
And in embodiment 2, also be provided with shading member 49 on the top of TFT34.This shading member 49 with shading member 48 same materials, same steps as setting.So, by shading member 49 is set on TFT, and can prevent from the oblique outer light of injecting (the figure shown in the direction of arrow) with shading member 49, and can prevent from light backlight that also this light is reflected by the black matrix 50 by light filter substrate 12 sides that constituted with crome metal etc. by shading member 49.Therefore, described light can not be radiated at TFT 34, and can prevent that light from leaking to TFT.And, owing to be the outer light that prevents from oblique in the past, therefore must form the black matrix 50 of light filter substrate 12 sides to a certain degree, but need not carry out above-mentioned steps by 49 of shading members in the mode that covers TFT 34 slightly widely.Therefore, also can the width identical form the black matrix 50 of light filter substrate 12 sides, black matrix 50 also can be set on TFT 34, thereby can improve the aperture opening ratio of liquid crystal indicator 10 with TFT 34.
Moreover shading member 48 covers signal wire 33 with similar trapezoidal shape, but is not limited to this shape.Cross the edge of pixel electrode 40 and be provided with shading member 48 from the edge of signal wire 33 and also can, cross the edge of pixel electrode 40 and shading member 48 is set from a method, edge of signal wire 33, the edge that crosses pixel electrode 40 in addition from the opposing party edge of signal wire 33 sets shading member 48, promptly is respectively arranged with shading member 48 in the both sides of signal wire 33 and also can.
Liquid crystal indicator 10 of the present invention made semi penetration type but not during penetrating type, with the trickle concavo-convex surface that is formed on the interlayer film 39 in the zone that is formed at except the peristome of pixel region, and between this jog and pixel electrode 40, will give film forming by the reflectance coating that light reflecting material constituted and get final product.And when desire became reflection-type with this liquid crystal indicator, the All Ranges between interlayer film 39 and pixel electrode 40 gave film forming with reflectance coating and gets final product.
