Description
본 발명은 액정표시소자에 관한 것으로, 보다 구체적으로 휘도 및 색온도가 개선된 멀티도메인 액정표시소자에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly, to a multi-domain liquid crystal display device with improved luminance and color temperature.
표시화면의 두께가 수 센치미터(cm)에 불과한 초박형의 평판(Flat panel)디스플레이 장치, 그 중에서도 액정 표시소자(Liquid Crystal Display :LCD)는 동작 전압이 낮아 소비 전력이 적고 휴대용으로 쓰일 수 있어 주로 노트 북 컴퓨터, 모니터, 우주선, 항공기 등에 이르기까지 응용분야가 넓고 다양하다.Ultra-thin flat panel display devices with a thickness of only a few centimeters (cm), especially liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have low power consumption and can be used as portable devices. Applications range from notebook computers, monitors, spacecraft, and aircraft.
상기 액정표시소자는 소정간격을 두고 서로 대향되어 있는 상판 및 하판과, 상기 양 기판사이에 개입되어 있는 액정으로 구성되어 있는데, 상기 하판에는 박막트랜지스터와 화소전극이 형성되어 있고, 상기 상판에는 적색, 녹색, 청색의 컬러필터와 빛의 누설을 방지하기 위한 블랙매트릭스가 형성되어 있다. 또한, 상기 하판의 아래에는 백라이트가 형성되어 있어 소자내로 빛을 유입시킨다.The liquid crystal display device includes a top plate and a bottom plate which face each other at a predetermined interval, and a liquid crystal interposed between the two substrates. The bottom plate includes a thin film transistor and a pixel electrode, and the top plate includes red, Green and blue color filters and black matrices are formed to prevent light leakage. In addition, a backlight is formed under the lower plate to allow light to flow into the device.
이와 같은 액정표시소자로서 근래에 주로 사용되고 있는 액정표시소자는 트위스트네마틱(Twisted Nematic : TN) 액정표시소자로서, 상기 TN 액정표시소자는 시야각에 따라서 각 계조표시(gray level)에서의 광투과도가 달라지는 특성이 있다. 이러한 시야각 특성은 액정분자의 광학적 이방성에 기인한 것으로, 특히 좌우 방향에서는 광투과도가 대칭적으로 분포하지만 상하 방향에서는 비대칭적으로 분포하여 계조반전(gray inversion)이 발생하게 된다. 따라서, 상기 시야각에 따라 광투과도가 달라지는 것을 보상할 필요가 있다.The liquid crystal display device which is mainly used as such a liquid crystal display device in recent years is a twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal display device, and the TN liquid crystal display device has a light transmittance at gray level according to the viewing angle. There are different characteristics. This viewing angle characteristic is due to the optical anisotropy of the liquid crystal molecules. In particular, light transmittance is symmetrically distributed in the left and right directions, but asymmetrically is distributed in the vertical direction, thereby causing gray inversion. Therefore, it is necessary to compensate that the light transmittance is changed according to the viewing angle.
이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 각 화소영역을 분할하여 각각의 도메인의 주시야각 방향을 달리하여, 시야각의 보상효과를 나타내는 멀티도메인 액정표시소자가 제안되었다.In order to solve such a problem, a multi-domain liquid crystal display device having a compensation effect of a viewing angle has been proposed by dividing each pixel region and changing a viewing angle of each domain.
도 1은 멀티도메인 TN 액정표시소자의 하나의 화소의 평면도이고, 도 2는 그 단면도로서, 실선은 상판의 배향방향을 점선은 하판의 배향방향을 나타낸다. 도면에서 알 수 있듯이, 하나의 화소에서 도메인 분할을 통해(Ⅰ도메인 및 Ⅱ 도메인), 각각의 도메인에서 주시야각 방향을 서로 다르게 하여 시야각 특성이 보상된다. 즉, 각각의 도메인(Ⅰ도메인 및 Ⅱ 도메인)의 액정분자는 전압인가에 따라 서로 반대방향으로 일어섬에 따라 상하방향의 광투과도가 서로 보상되어 결국 시야각 특성이 향상되는 것이다.FIG. 1 is a plan view of one pixel of a multi-domain TN liquid crystal display device, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of which the solid line indicates the alignment direction of the upper plate and the dotted line indicates the alignment direction of the lower plate. As can be seen from the figure, through the domain division in one pixel (I domain and II domain), the viewing angle characteristic is compensated by changing the field of view angle in each domain differently. That is, the liquid crystal molecules of each domain (I domain and II domain) rise in opposite directions depending on the application of voltage, so that light transmittances in the up and down directions are compensated for each other, thereby improving viewing angle characteristics.
그러나, 상기 멀티도메인 액정표시소자는 도메인간의 경계면에서 빛샘이 발생하게 되어 이의 차단을 위해 도메인간의 경계면에 블랙매트릭스가 형성됨으로써, 개구율이 감소되고 결국 휘도가 저하되는 문제점이 있다.However, the multi-domain liquid crystal display device has a problem in that light leakage occurs at the interface between domains, and a black matrix is formed at the interface between domains to block the domain, thereby reducing the aperture ratio and eventually decreasing the luminance.
한편, 예를 들어, NW(Normally White)모드 액정표시소자인 경우에 있어서는 전압 무인가 상태에서 화이트가 구현되므로, 화이트 특성을 개선하기 위해서는 전압인가 특성보다는 액정표시소자에 사용되는 부품 및 재료특성을 변경해야된다. 이때 상기 화이트 특성은 색온도(Color Temperature)로 정량화 할 수 있다. 일반적으로 액정 표시소자에서 요구하는 화이트 밸랜스 즉, 표준 백색광은 색온도로 약 6500K 이다.On the other hand, for example, in the case of a NW (Normally White) mode liquid crystal display device, since white is implemented in a voltage-free state, in order to improve white characteristics, components and material properties used in the liquid crystal display device are changed rather than voltage application characteristics. Should be. In this case, the white characteristic may be quantified by color temperature. Generally, the white balance, or standard white light, required by the liquid crystal display device is about 6500K in color temperature.
상기 색온도는 흑체를 가열하였을 때, 색과 온도의 관계를 나타낸 것으로, 온도가 높으면 청색으로 변하고, 온도가 낮아지면 붉은색으로 변한다. 따라서, 액정표시소자의 컬러필터층을 투과하여 조합된 화이트 밸랜스의 색온도가 6500K을 기준으로 높을수록 청색편이 백색이 되고, 낮을수록 적색편이 백색이 된다.The color temperature indicates a relationship between color and temperature when the black body is heated. The color temperature turns blue when the temperature is high, and turns red when the temperature is low. Therefore, as the color temperature of the white balance combined through the color filter layer of the liquid crystal display element is 6500K, the blue piece becomes white and the red piece becomes white.
한편, TV에서 요구되는 색온도는 모니터나 노트북에 비해 높아 6500K 이상이다. 따라서, 종래에는 청색편이 백색의 화이트 밸랜스를 유지하기 위해서 백라이트 광의 스펙트럼을 적절히 조절하거나, 또는 적색, 녹색, 청색의 컬러필터층의 두께를 차등하여 형성하는 방법등을 이용하였다. 그러나, 컬러필터층의 두께를 차등하는 방법은 화소의 셀갭이 불균일하게 되고 또한 광투과도가 감소하게 되어 액정표시소자의 휘도가 감소하게 되는 단점이 있다.On the other hand, the color temperature required for TVs is higher than 6500K compared to monitors and laptops. Therefore, conventionally, in order to maintain the white balance of the blue piece, a method of appropriately adjusting the spectrum of the backlight light or forming the red, green, and blue color filter layers with different thicknesses or the like has been used. However, the method of differentiating the thickness of the color filter layer has a disadvantage in that the cell gap of the pixel is uneven and the light transmittance is reduced, thereby reducing the luminance of the liquid crystal display device.
본 발명은 상기 문제를 해결하기 위해 안출된 것으로, 본 발명의 목적은 광시야각과 더불어 고휘도의 특성을 갖는 멀티도메인 액정표시소자를 제공하는 것이다.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a multi-domain liquid crystal display device having a wide viewing angle and high brightness.
본 발명의 다른 목적은 색온도가 개선된 멀티도메인 액정표시소자를 제공하는 것이다.Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-domain liquid crystal display device having an improved color temperature.

2 : 하판2: lower plate
3 : 컬러필터3: color filter

상기 목적을 달성하기 위해, 본 발명은 적색, 녹색 및 청색의 컬러필터와 각각의 컬러필터 사이에 블랙매트릭스가 형성되어 있는 제 1기판; 상기 적색, 녹색 및 청색의 컬러필터와 각각 마주보며 대응되어 형성된 화소전극과 상기 화소전극과 접촉되어 있는 박막트랜지스터가 형성된 제 2기판; 및 상기 제1기판과 제 2기판사이에 형성된 액정층을 포함하고, 상기 적색과 녹색의 화소의 도메인의 수보다 청색의 화소의 도메인의 수가 적은 것을 특징으로 하는 멀티도메인 액정표시소자를 제공한다.In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a first substrate having a black matrix formed between the red, green and blue color filters and each color filter; A second substrate having a pixel electrode formed to face each of the red, green and blue color filters and a thin film transistor in contact with the pixel electrode; And a liquid crystal layer formed between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein the number of domains of the blue pixels is smaller than the number of domains of the red and green pixels.
여기서 도메인은 액정분자배열이 동일한 영역을 의미한다. 따라서, 본 발명의 멀티도메인 액정표시소자는 청색의 화소에 포함된 액정분자배열이 서로 다른 영역의 개수가 적색 또는 녹색의 화소에 포함된 액정분자배열이 서로 다른 영역의 개수보다 적음을 의미한다.Here, the domain refers to a region where the liquid crystal molecules are identical. Accordingly, the multi-domain liquid crystal display device of the present invention means that the number of regions in which the liquid crystal molecule arrays included in the blue pixels differ from each other is smaller than the number of the region in which the liquid crystal molecule arrays included in the red or green pixels differ.
이와 같이 청색의 화소의 도메인의 수를 적색과 녹색의 화소의 도메인의 수보다 적게 형성하여 청색의 화소의 도메인 경계부근에 형성되는 블랙매트릭스 또한 감소됨으로써 청색의 휘도가 상승되게 된다. 따라서, 전체적인 휘도가 상승되며, 청색의 휘도가 증가함에 따라 색온도도 증가하게 되는 것이다.In this way, the number of domains of the blue pixels is less than the number of domains of the red and green pixels, and the black matrix formed near the domain boundary of the blue pixels is also reduced, thereby increasing the luminance of blue. Therefore, the overall luminance is increased, and as the luminance of blue is increased, the color temperature is also increased.
일반적으로 어느 하나의 화소의 도메인의 수가 적으면 그 화소는 나머지 화소에 비하여 절대적인 화질은 떨어진다. 그러나, 사람은 청색에 대한 공간 해상(spatial resolution)이 적색이나 녹색보다 낮기 때문에 청색의 화소의 도메인의 수를 적색과 녹색의 화소의 도메인의 수보다 적게 하더라도 비록 절대적인 화질은 떨어지나, 주관적으로 느끼는 화질에는 영향을 주지 않는다.In general, when the number of domains of any one pixel is small, the absolute image quality of the pixel is lower than that of the other pixels. However, since the spatial resolution of blue is lower than that of red or green, even if the number of domains of blue pixels is smaller than the number of domains of red and green pixels, the absolute image quality is lowered, but subjective image quality is felt. Does not affect.
따라서, 본 발명자는 휘도와 색온도를 증가시키기 위해서 청색의 휘도를 증가시키는 것을 고안하였고, 그 해결방안으로 청색의 도메인의 수를 적색과 녹색에 비하여 감소시킨 것이다.Therefore, the present inventors devised to increase the luminance of blue to increase the luminance and color temperature, and the solution is to reduce the number of domains of blue compared to red and green.
이하, 도면을 참조로 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
도 3a는 본 발명에 따른 액정표시소자의 화소부의 단면도이고, 도 3b는 그 평면도로서, 본 발명은 적색, 녹색 및 청색의 컬러필터(3)와 각각의 컬러필터 사이에 블랙매트릭스(5)가 형성되어 있는 제 1기판(1); 상기 적색, 녹색, 청색의 컬러필터(3)와 각각 마주보며 대응되어 형성된 화소전극(4)과 상기 화소전극(4)과 접촉되어 있는 박막트랜지스터(6)가 형성된 제 2기판(2); 및 상기 제1기판(1)과 제 2기판(2)사이에 형성된 액정층(미도시)을 포함하고,FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view of a pixel portion of a liquid crystal display device according to the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a plan view thereof. The present invention provides a black matrix 5 between a red, green and blue color filter 3 and each color filter. A first substrate 1 formed; A second substrate (2) having a pixel electrode (4) formed to face each of the red, green, and blue color filters (3) and a thin film transistor (6) in contact with the pixel electrode (4); And a liquid crystal layer (not shown) formed between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2,
상기 적색과 녹색의 화소의 도메인의 수보다 청색의 화소의 도메인의 수가 적은 것을 특징으로 하는 멀티도메인 액정표시소자를 제공한다.Provided is a multi-domain liquid crystal display device characterized in that the number of domains of blue pixels is smaller than the number of domains of red and green pixels.
도 3b는 본 발명에 따른 멀티도메인 액정표시소자의 한 예로, 적색과 녹색의 화소의 도메인의 수는 2이고, 청색의 화소의 도메인의 수는 1인 멀티도메인 액정표시소자를 나타낸 것으로, 청색의 화소는 1개의 도메인으로 형성됨으로써 도메인 경계에 블랙매트릭스(5a)가 필요 없어 휘도가 상승된다.3B illustrates an example of a multi-domain liquid crystal display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, wherein the number of domains of red and green pixels is 2 and the number of domains of blue pixels is 1. Since the pixel is formed of one domain, the black matrix 5a is not required at the domain boundary, so that the luminance is increased.
상기 박막트랜지스터는 상기 제 2기판(2) 위에 소정형상으로 패터닝된 게이트 전극, 상기 게이트 전극을 포함하는 기판 전면에 형성된 게이트 절연막, 상기 게이트 절면막 위에 소정형상으로 패터닝된 반도체층 및 오믹콘택트층, 및 상기 오믹콘택트층 위에 형성된 소스 전극 및 드레인 전극을 포함하여 구성되며, 그 전면에 보호막이 형성되어 있다. 상기 보호막에는 컨택홀이 형성되어 상기 드레인 전극과 상기 화소전극이 연결된다.The thin film transistor may include a gate electrode patterned in a predetermined shape on the second substrate 2, a gate insulating film formed on the entire surface of the substrate including the gate electrode, a semiconductor layer and an ohmic contact layer patterned in a predetermined shape on the gate cutoff film; And a source electrode and a drain electrode formed on the ohmic contact layer, and a protective film is formed on an entire surface thereof. A contact hole is formed in the passivation layer to connect the drain electrode and the pixel electrode.
상기 도메인 경계부근에는 빛샘 방지를 위해 블랙매트릭스(5a)가 형성되는데, 이는 상기 제1기판(1)의 컬러필터 사이의 블랙매트릭스 형성시에 제1기판(1)상에 형성될 수도 있고, 상기 제2기판(2)상의 게이트 전극 형성시에 제2기판(2)상에 형성될 수도 있다.The black matrix 5a is formed near the domain boundary to prevent light leakage, which may be formed on the first substrate 1 when the black matrix between the color filters of the first substrate 1 is formed. It may be formed on the second substrate 2 at the time of forming the gate electrode on the second substrate 2.
상기 제 1기판(1) 및 제 2기판(2) 중 적어도 어느 하나의 기판 전면에는 화소분할을 위한 배향막이 형성되어 멀티도메인이 구현될 수 있다.An alignment layer for dividing pixels may be formed on an entire surface of at least one of the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 to implement a multi-domain.
상기 배향막 형성방법으로는 기판 전체에 폴리이미드등을 도포하고 도메인의 수에 따라 서로 방향이 상이하게 러빙하여 프리틸트 방향이 상이한 멀티도메인을 형성할 수도 있고(러빙법), 또는 PVCN(polyvinyl cinnamate)계 물질이나 PSCN(polysiloxane cinnamate)계 물질과 같은 광반응성 고분자물질을 도포하고 자외선 조사를 조절하여 프리틸트 방향이 상이한 멀티도메인을 형성할 수도 있다(광배향법). 상기 러빙방법은 러빙공정시 먼지나 정전기가 발생하여 수율이 저하되기 때문에 상기 광배향방법이 보다 바람직하다.In the alignment film forming method, polyimide or the like is applied to the entire substrate and rubbed in different directions depending on the number of domains to form multidomains having different pretilt directions (rubbing method), or PVCN (polyvinyl cinnamate) A photoreactive polymer material such as a polysiloxane cinnamate (PSC) -based material or a PSCN-based material may be applied and UV irradiation may be adjusted to form a multidomain having a different pretilt direction (photoalignment method). The rubbing method is more preferable because the optical alignment method is generated because dust or static electricity is generated during the rubbing process, the yield is reduced.
그 외에, 컬러필터와 블랙매트릭스, 박막트랜지스터등의 재질이나 형성공정등은 본 명세서에 상세히 설명하지는 않았으나, 이는 당업자라면 용이하게 실시할 수 있는 범위내이다.In addition, materials and forming processes such as color filters, black matrices, thin film transistors, and the like have not been described in detail herein, but they are within a range that can be easily performed by those skilled in the art.
상기 구조에 의한 본 발명의 멀티도메인 액정표시소자는 시야각이 향상됨과 아울러, 청색의 화소영역에 형성되는 블랙매트릭스가 상대적으로 적어 개구율이 향상되고 휘도가 상승된다.In the multi-domain liquid crystal display device of the present invention having the above structure, the viewing angle is improved, and the black matrix formed in the blue pixel region is relatively small, so that the aperture ratio is improved and the luminance is increased.
또한, 청색의 화소영역에서 휘도가 증가함으로써 색온도가 증가된다.In addition, the color temperature is increased by increasing the luminance in the blue pixel region.
