[Prior Art] In recent years, thin and light liquid crystal display devices have been used in personal computer displays and PDA (personal digital assistant) displays. However, the conventional twisted nematic (TN) type and super twisted nematic (STN) type liquid crystal display devices have very narrow viewing angles. Various technical studies have been initiated to solve this problem. A typical technique for improving the viewing angle of a TN or STN type liquid crystal display device is to add a light compensation plate thereto. Another way is to use a transverse electric field mode, in which a horizontal electric field relative to the substrate plane is applied to the entire liquid crystal layer. In recent years, a liquid crystal display device in a 'transverse electric field mode' has become the focus of much attention, and has been mass-produced. Another technique is to use DAP (Vertical Alignment Phase Deformation) mode, in which a nematic liquid crystal material with negative dielectric anisotropy is used as the liquid crystal material, and a vertical alignment film is used as the alignment film. This is an ECB (electrically controlled birefringence) mode, in which the transmittance is controlled using the birefringence of liquid crystal molecules. Although the transverse electric field mode is an effective way to change the μ angle, compared with a typical TN device, the manufacturing tolerance of the process is very low, so the device cannot be manufactured stably. This is because the brightness or contrast of the display is obviously affected by the gap between the substrates, or it may be significantly affected by the shift of the transmission axis (polarization axis) of the polarizing plate with respect to the azimuth axis 86289 200410026 of the liquid crystal molecules. influences. It needs to be further researched and developed technically, and α can control these factors in order to stably manufacture the device. ^ In order to be able to take advantage of the DAP mode, it is necessary to use Gu; for Shi Cui Shi-俣 style / night, to praise the purpose of uniform display without showing uneven results, you must control the orientation. In order to control the orientation ', an alignment process must be performed by rubbing the surface of the alignment film. However, when rubbing the vertical alignment film, rubbing streaks appear in the very horse image, so it is not suitable for mass production. -In view of this, the inventor of the present invention, along with others, proposed another method in the technology to control the tens of thousands without friction treatment. In this method, one of a group of electrodes ㈣, through The interstitial crystal layer is provided as a two-layer electrode 'including a lower electrode, an upper electrode including an opening, and a dielectric layer between the two', so that the azimuth direction is generated by the inclined electric field of the upper electrode opening edge portion Control (see, for example, Japanese Open Patent Publication No. 2002-55343). In this way, each complete image element can be stable and stable with sufficient orientation and continuity, thereby improving the viewing angle and achieving high-quality display. However, in recent years, in addition to the improvement of viewing angle and display quality, it is further required to increase the aperture ratio 'to produce a brighter display. However, in the case where the position control is still performed using a tilted electric field, no special method has yet appeared in this technology to further improve the aperture ratio. [Summary of the Invention] The present invention is designed to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. The object of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal display device with wide viewing angle characteristics, high display quality and aperture ratio, and capable of producing a bright display.

The image element regions are aligned into a matrix pattern, which includes a plurality of columns: extending in a second direction different from the first direction, and a plurality of rows extending in a 罘 -universal direction; in the liquid crystal display device of the present invention The polarity of the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer of the first image element region in each of the image element regions is different from the polarity of the private voltage applied to the liquid crystal two of the second image element region in the plurality of image element regions. Each image element area belongs to the same column as the second image element area in each frame, and belongs to the following image frame:: 仃. Therefore, the image elements ^ adjacent to each other in the column direction (second direction) are driven to the opposite polarity voltage during the writing of all the image elements (that is, a frame). Therefore, the head & Yu is not driven by the opposite polarity voltage in the column direction, and the image elements can be produced between the image elements that are connected to each other in the column direction. 86289 -13-200410026 Slope electric field with potential slope. Therefore, even when the alignment distance between the electrodes of the image elements in the row direction: Picion field is short, it is still possible to achieve a stable radial tilt orientation with a high aperture ratio. Generally, the shape and length of the image element area are defined by the first direction (the direction in which the unit paste is aligned), and the turning direction is defined by the second direction. When the field image component area has this shape, It is possible to effectively improve the aperture ^] If the image element area has a generally rectangular shape, the long side extends in the first direction and the short side extends in the second direction. β. Reversing the polarity of the applied voltage of the image element of the parent n column (where n is an integer of 1 or more) can suppress flicker, that is, for every n image elements in the row direction (in other words, , So that the liquid crystal layer in the image element area of the same row in each 11 columns: the polarity of M plus pressure is reversed) 'At the same time, the image elements adjacent to each other in the column direction are driven by the voltage of the opposite polarity in each frame. Disagree 疋 § The image elements adjacent to each other in the row direction have opposite polarities, that is, the voltage polarity applied to the liquid crystal layer in the first image and the second image region of the plurality of image element regions is different from that applied to the third image. The voltage polarity of the image element area, the third image element area in each frame belongs to the same row as the first image element area, and belongs to a column adjacent to the column to which the first image element area belongs. α + 产生 is generated between the image elements adjacent to each other in the row direction-a gradient electric field with a steep potential gradient, thereby reducing the distance between the electrodes adjacent to the image element in the row direction, thereby further improving the aperture ratio. 〇 ^ Well, the shape of each of the multiple unit solid parts has a rotationally symmetric shape. When the single solid body has a rotationally symmetric shape, the orientation of the liquid crystal 86289 200410026 formed, that is, the radial tilt orientation of the axial domain will also be Has a rotationally symmetric orientation to improve viewing angle characteristics. When a plurality of monocoques have a generally circular or sugar-circular shape, the azimuthal continuity of the liquid crystal molecules in the radial oblique azimuth will increase ', thereby improving azimuth stability. In contrast, when each of the plurality of unit solid parts has a generally rectangular shape, 'the area ratio (effective aperture ratio) of the single solid parts in the image element area will increase', thereby improving the displayed optical characteristics ( (I.e., transmission) in response to the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer. Furthermore, when each of the plurality of unit solid portions has a-general angle with a generally curved corner portion ', azimuth stability and optical characteristics can be improved. In addition, when the solid part of a plurality of cells has an acute angle, the total length of the electrode side that generates an oblique electric field increases, whereby the oblique electric field can respond to more liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, the response speed has been improved. Preferably, another substrate (that is, relative to a substrate having a unit solid portion) includes an adjustment azimuth structure for adjusting the azimuth in a region corresponding to at least one of the plurality of liquid crystal domains. When the voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules in at least one of the liquid crystal domains are oriented in a radially inclined direction. Then, at least when there is an applied voltage, the adjustment azimuth force from the electrode of the unit solid part and from the azimuth adjustment structure acts on the liquid crystal of the liquid crystal domain to thereby stabilize the radial tilt orientation of the liquid crystal domain and suppress the The stress applied to the liquid crystal layer causes a problem that the display quality is deteriorated (for example, the occurrence of a phenomenon after an image). 86289 -15-200410026 When the azimuth adjustment structure is provided to each of a plurality of liquid crystal domains, the radial tilt orientation of all liquid crystal domains can be stabilized. When the azimuth-adjusting structure is provided to an area adjacent to the center of the liquid crystal domain composed of the azimuth-adjusting structure and t takes a radial tilt orientation, t can be corrected: the position of the central axis of the tilt-azimuth orientation, thereby effectively improving the radial tilt correspondence Resistance. ^ Adjust the azimuth direction adjusted by the azimuth structure, and align the direction of the radial frequency oblique azimuth formed by the inclined electric field generated around the solid part of each unit. The continuity and azimuth of the azimuth will increase, thereby improving (Shows the second quality and response characteristics. / 、 You need to adjust the orientation when force is applied in the presence of applied voltage to obtain a stable orientation effect. In addition, you can also obtain further benefits. If you perform alignment even when there is no application A force for adjusting the orientation can still be applied when voltage is applied, and the orientation can be stabilized regardless of the level of the applied voltage. However, it should be noted that, because the liquid crystal display device of the present invention uses a vertically aligned liquid crystal layer, the liquid crystal molecules When there is an applied voltage, it is substantially aligned perpendicular to the substrate. Therefore, when an azimuth-adjusting structure is used that adjusts the orientation even when there is no applied voltage, the display quality may be deteriorated. However, even if the azimuth-adjusting structure is used, Adjusting the azimuth force is quite weak and still provides the desired effect, which will be described later, so even if it is large relative to the image element A small structure is still sufficient to stabilize the orientation. With this type of small structure, there is no situation in which the display quality is deteriorated by the application of voltage, and it actually becomes insignificant. In some cases, it will depend on the liquid crystal display used. Device (such as' stress level applied from the outside) or electrode structure (from a unit entity with 86289 -16-200410026 part of the electrode to adjust the azimuth force, the force-adjusting daughter pa μ Wada & the whole mouth ## structure: In such cases, it may provide-photoresist layer to suppress the display quality deterioration caused by the 10,000-bit structure for 1 week. Various = structures are used to adjust the azimuth structure because adjustment Orientation knot ', and she needs to adjust the azimuth force weaker than the electrodes of the solid part of the soap. In addition-the adjustment orientation structure provided on the substrate may be, for example, the protrusion from the second: plate protruding to the liquid crystal layer' Or may include a horizontal tens of thousands of surfaces located on the soil plate side closer to the liquid crystal layer. In addition, the azimuth adjustment structure may be an opening provided by an electrode. These structures may be manufactured by a known method in the art. Very often, the substrate including the electrodes of the solid part of the unit, including a plurality of non-gold electrodes overlapping the white electrode region (that is, the conductive film of the electrode is not formed in the open region). The liquid crystal display device of the present invention can A kind of alignment is used, so that the liquid crystal domain with radial tilt orientation will also be formed in the open area. The liquid crystal domain formed in the open area and the liquid crystal domain formed in the solid part of the cell are both tilts generated by the edge portion of the open area. The electrical field structure (that is, 'along the periphery of the solid part of the unit), so these liquid crystal domains are also adjacent to each other, and the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules is essentially continuous between adjacent liquid crystal domains. Therefore, the formation in the open area The boundary between the liquid crystal domain and the liquid crystal domain formed in the unit solid part does not form any misaligned lines, so the display quality is not deteriorated by the misaligned lines, and the orientation stability of the liquid crystal molecules is also high. When the liquid crystal molecules adopt a radial oblique orientation, not only in the area corresponding to the physical unit of the electrode unit, but also in the area corresponding to the open area, a stable orientation with a high degree of continuity of the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules is achieved, thereby achieving an average of 86289- 17- 200410026

In particular, in order to achieve the desired response characteristics (4x, B; not e1 also said, high-speed response), controlling the tilt of the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules must be responded to many liquid crystal molecules, and this requires The open area scoop ... face% (total length of the relevant edge portion) is too large to do it. It is a good response when the open area is formed when the liquid crystal domain of the ancient corpse, ^, and 1 inch ten thousand bits is fixed. It can suppress the mouthwash (non-uniform display) even if the total area of the open area is increased. Happening). When the plurality of openings such as the soil and soil have substantially the same shape, and have the same size on f, and constitute at least one unit lattice with rotationally symmetrical alignment, for each unit lattice, an extremely high Symmetry to align several liquid crystal domains, which can improve the viewing angle dependence of display quality. When the shape of each of at least some of the plurality of open regions (usually those constituting the unit crystal talent) is rotationally symmetrical, the stability of the radial tilt orientation of the liquid crystal domain formed in the open regions can be increased. For example, the shape of each open area (as viewed from the normal direction of the substrate) is preferably circular or polygonal (eg, square). Please note that depending on the shape (aspect ratio) of the image element, a shape that is not rotationally symmetric (such as an ellipse) can also be used. In order to stabilize the radial oblique orientation of the liquid crystal domain formed in the open region, it is preferable that the liquid crystal domain formed in the open region has a general circular shape. In other words, the shape of the open region can be designed such that the liquid crystal domain formed in the open region has a general circular shape. As mentioned above, when the liquid crystal domain is formed in the open area and the unit solid part, the orientation adjustment structure can be provided on another substrate to correspond to the 86289 -18-200410026 liquid crystal domain to be formed to stabilize all the liquid crystal domains. Emissions can only be formed in the unit's realm, Qiu Yaoba,, .... Ren Yan, also, just at Leopard ¥ Only with the mouth of the H-knife Ye Jing domain to provide orientation adjustment έ 士 诘 to achieve a practically sufficient degree of stability (stress resistance). From the viewpoint of productivity, the best adjustment of Fang Qishe, the applied azimuth force conforms to the shape; constructs the radial oblique azimuth. The flow ΓΓ used in this type of azimuth adjustment structure forms a radial shape. The process of adjusting the azimuth force of the tilt bearing is simple. Although the azimuth-adjusting structure is better provided for the mother-early solid part, in fact, a sufficient degree of azimuth stability is still visible in some cases (for example, the number of unit solid parts and related settings), The azimuth adjustment structure is provided only for certain unit solid parts to obtain this. This is because the radial tilt orientation formed in the liquid crystal layer of the liquid crystal display device of the present invention is essentially continuous. Furthermore, in order to improve the resistance to stress, in each of the open regions, there is provided a protruding portion having one side surface and applying the azimuth adjustment force to the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer in the same direction as the tilt electric field azimuth adjustment direction. It is preferable that Shao has the same cross-sectional shape on the substrate plane as the shape of the open area, and has the same rotational symmetry as the shape of the open area. However, it should be noted that since the liquid crystal molecules whose orientation is adjusted by the azimuth force on the side surface of the protrusions are less responsive to the applied voltage (the delay of these liquid crystal molecules is less likely to be changed by the applied voltage), the display contrast may decrease. Therefore, it is preferable that the size, height, and number of the determined protrusions do not deteriorate the display quality. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention is, for example, an active matrix type device including a TFT-like conversion element for each image element region. These include the electrodes described above 86289 -19-200410026, which are image element electrodes connected to the conversion element, and the other electrode is a counter electrode at least opposite to the plurality of image element electrodes. [Embodiment] Specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. Specific Example 1 First, the electrode structure and function of the liquid crystal display device of the present invention will be described. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention has desired display characteristics, and is therefore suitable for use as an active matrix liquid crystal display device. The present preferred embodiment will now be described with reference to an active matrix liquid crystal display device using a thin film transistor (TFT). The present invention is not limited to this device, and an active matrix liquid crystal display device with a MIM structure may be used instead. Even when a specific embodiment of the present invention is described with respect to a transmissive liquid crystal display device: The present invention is not limited to the device, and a reflective liquid crystal display device or even a transflective liquid crystal display device described later can be replaced instead. use. Note that in this specification, the area of the liquid crystal display device corresponding to the "image element" (which is the smallest display unit) will be referred to as the "image element region". In a color liquid crystal display device, the "R, qb" picture element "corresponds to one" pixel ". In an active matrix type liquid crystal display device, the image element region is defined by an image element electrode and an opposite electrode located opposite to the image element electrode. In a passive matrix liquid crystal display device, the image element area is defined as one of the row electrodes aligned in a stripe pattern, and one of the row electrodes aligned in a stripe pattern, and the row electrode Vertical area. In the alignment with the black matrix, 'strictly speaking, the image element area is a part of each area to which a voltage is applied according to the expected display state, which will be 86289 -20-200410026 corresponding to the opening of the black matrix. hole. A specific embodiment according to the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 18 and 1B! The liquid crystal element area 100 of the crystal display π device 100? 2 and? Structure of 3 of them. In the following description, the color filter and the black matrix will be omitted for simplicity. Furthermore, in the following drawings, each element having substantially the same function as the corresponding element in the liquid crystal display device will be represented by the same element symbol, and will not be described further below. FIG. 1A is a plan view viewed from the normal direction of the substrate, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line 1B_1B of FIG. 1A. The state shown in FIG. 1B is a state when no voltage is applied to the entire liquid crystal layer. "M liquid crystal display device! 〇OO includes an active moment-open substrate (hereinafter referred to as" D-FT substrate ") 100a, a reverse substrate (hereinafter referred to as" color filter substrate ") io〇b, And a liquid crystal layer 30 between the TFT substrate 100a and the counter substrate 100A. The liquid crystal molecules 30a of the liquid crystal layer 30 have negative dielectric anisotropy and are aligned perpendicular to the surface of the vertical alignment film (not shown). As shown in FIG. 1B, the entire liquid crystal is not transmitted through the vertical alignment film. When a voltage is applied to the layer 30, a vertical alignment layer is formed on one of the surfaces of both the TFT substrate 100a and the counter substrate 10a close to the liquid crystal layer 30. This state is described as the liquid crystal layer 30 being vertically aligned. However, please note that depending on the type of the vertical alignment film and the type of liquid crystal material used, the liquid crystal molecules 30a in the vertically aligned liquid crystal layer 30 may be aligned with the surface of the vertical alignment film (the substrate's 〇 surface) between the normals appear slightly inclined. In general, the vertical alignment is a state in which the axis of a liquid crystal molecule (also referred to as an "axis direction") forms an angle of about 85 ° or more with the surface of the vertical alignment film. 86289 200410026 The TFT substrate 100a of the liquid crystal display device 100 includes a transparent substrate (for example, a glass substrate) 11 and an image element electrode 14 on the surface of the transparent substrate. The anti-substrate 100b includes a transparent substrate (for example , Broken glass substrate) 2i and a counter electrode 22 are located on the surface of the transparent substrate 21. The orientation of the liquid crystal layer 30 will be based on the voltage applied between the image element electrode 14 and the counter electrode 22 for each image element The area is changed, so the alignment is opposite to each other through the liquid crystal layer 30. By using the phenomenon that the polarization or the amount of light passing through the liquid crystal layer 30 changes with the orientation of the liquid crystal layer 30, a display can be produced. The TFT substrate 100a includes A plurality of open areas 5 that do not overlap the image element electrode 4 made of a conductive film (eg, an ITO film) (the open area 15 has no image element electrode 4). The open area 15 is aligned so as to The individual centers form a square lattice, and a portion i4a of the image element electrode 14 is substantially surrounded by four open regions 15, and the individual centers of the open regions are located at four lattice points forming a unit lattice. . The image from the open region 15 surrounding the element electrode part 14a 14, and will be called "unit portion entity." Each solid portion of the picture element electrode 14 (the portion where the conductive film is present) includes a plurality of unit solid portions 14a. In other words, the image element electrode 14 includes a plurality of unit solid portions 14a as the secondary image element electrodes. The plurality of unit solid portions 14a are basically composed of a single continuous conductive film. The plurality of image element regions are aligned in a matrix pattern. Therefore, the image element regions are regularly aligned in a column direction and a row direction perpendicular to the column direction. The column direction and the row direction will generally be referred to as a picture element (picture element area). The column direction and the row direction are perpendicular to each other. Furthermore, in the examples of == Shi 86289 -22-200410026, each image element area (image element) has the shape of a sugar round rectangle containing-a long side and a short side. Therefore, the image element regions have different pitches when they are aligned in the column and row directions (referred to as "image Tt element pitch"). In a picture element area, many unit solid parts f14a & of the picture element electrode 14 are arranged in a row in any periodic alignment direction. In the illustrated example, the unit solid portion 14a is aligned in a row direction D! As shown in FIG. 1A, in which two image element regions p1, μ, and η which are viewed from each other in a column direction D2 are displayed. -In the illustrative example, the 'unit solid portion 14a has a generally circular shape. Each of the female open regions 15 has a substantially star shape, and at the center of the four side edges has a quarter-arc side edge (edge) including a quadruple rotation axis. Each bay area 15 is usually connected to at least some open open areas 15. The open regions 15 have substantially the same shape and substantially the same size. The unit solid portions T in the unit lattice of the unit lattice formed by the open region 15 have a substantially circular shape. The unit solid portion 14a has the same shape and the same size on the surface. In the image element area, the field solid element 14a of this field is connected together to form a solid part image element electrode 14) which is used as an early-conductive film.

The image elements are written in the data to all the image elements (that is, a frame ) During the month, the drive to the opposite polarity voltage is shown in Figure 2. Referring to FIG. 2, while a polar voltage is applied to the image element regions P1 and P3 (the image element region, “” indicates) the liquid layer 30, a voltage of a different (opposite) polarity is applied to the 71 element region of the image. The liquid crystal layer 30 of P2 (indicated by the "-" sign of the image element region). In other words, in each frame, the voltage polarity applied to the liquid crystal layer of one image element region is different from that applied to the other-image The voltage polarity of the liquid crystal layer 30 in the element region, wherein the other image element region is in a direction (column direction D2) perpendicular to the alignment direction (垂直 direction D1) of the unit solid portion 14a and the first image element region. She even. 3A and 3B will be used to explain the above-mentioned mechanism for forming a liquid domain by an inclined electric field. Each of the liquid crystal layers 30 shown in FIGS. 1A and 3B shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B is not intended. FIG. 3A schematically illustrates a state where the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a has just started to change (initial ON state) according to the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer. FIG. 3B schematically illustrates a state where the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a changes first and then becomes stable according to the applied voltage. The curves in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B: EQ stands for equipotential as shown in FIG. 1B, when the image element electrode 14 and the counter electrode 22 have the same potential (that is, no voltage is applied to the entire liquid crystal layer 30). State), the liquid crystal molecules 30a in each image element region will be aligned perpendicular to the surfaces of the substrates 11 and 21. § When a voltage is applied throughout the liquid crystal layer 30, a potential gradient as shown in the middle bit line EQ (vertical to the power line) in FIG. 3A is generated. The equal bit line Eq is parallel to the unit solid part in the liquid crystal layer 30 (which is located between the solid part 86289 -24-200410026 14a and the counter electrode 22 of the image element electrode 14) and the counter part The surface of the electrode u and JL will drop in the area corresponding to the open area of the image element electrode 14. At the edge portion of the open area 15 (the surrounding portion of the open area 5 and its interior, including its boundary) ) In the liquid crystal layer 30 above, a tilted electric field indicated by the tilted portion of the equal bit line EQ is generated. It should be noted that in the specific embodiment of the present invention, two images which are viewed from each other in the column direction The element 'M counter-electrode voltage' is driven by the isoline falling sharply in the open area 15 between the image elements, whereby the isoline EQ does not continue through these images and will have a knife moment acting on it. Women ’s and women ’s anisotropic liquid crystal molecules 3 ”bis: the axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules 30a is guided parallel to the equivalent position, and is perpendicular to the power line). Therefore, in FIG. 3A, the liquid crystal molecules above the right edge are tilted (rotated) clockwise, while the liquid crystal molecules 3 and 3ra3A6 ^-S ^ above the left edge EG are tilted counterclockwise. (Rotation), as shown in ^. An edge such as m will be oriented parallel to the corresponding part of the bit line. Wan's "knife will now refer to the change in the azimuth of day and time in more detail with reference to Figs. 4A to 4D. A moment acts on the liquid crystal molecule 30a to be parallel to the equipotential line EQ. As shown in Fig. 4, the isoline in the direction of the car is drawn from the direction of the molecule. Hourly direction: After the second electric field, the occurrence of the moment that causes the crystal molecules 30a to tilt in the counterclockwise direction makes the 7th rate of the temple day equal. Therefore, 86289 -25-200410026 'the pair is relatively close to each other As for the liquid crystal layer 30 between the plate-shaped electrodes, there will be a part of the liquid crystal; μ #,,, from the Japanese-Japanese knife 30a series to the clockwise torque effect 'and there will be a part of the vertical # Knife 30a is a double-to-counterclockwise moment of action. Therefore, the Weidian method must be converted into the desired orientation according to the voltage applied to the entire liquid crystal layer 30. No. 3A, when used in the liquid crystal display device of the present invention After the electric field represented by a part called the equipotential line inclined to the axial direction (inclined electric field) of the liquid crystal molecules 产生 is generated at the edge portion EG of the discharge region 15, the liquid crystal molecules 1 will be rotated toward a minimum It can be tilted in a direction parallel to the bit line EQ (the example shown in the figure is counterclockwise), as shown in Figure 4β :, located in the direction of the axis that has been generated by perpendicular to the liquid crystal molecules For the liquid crystal molecules in the electric field region represented by the bit, spring, and EQ, the liquid crystal molecules 30a that are compounded and located in the inclined portion of the bit line EQ are inclined in the two-phase direction, so as shown in FIG. 4C Its orientation is continuous (consistent) with the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a located in the inclined portion of the isopotential line EQ. As shown in FIG. 4D, when the electric field causes the isopotential line EQ to form a continuous concave / In the convex pattern, the liquid crystal molecules 30a located in the plane portion of the bit line EQ will be oriented to the orientation defined by the liquid crystal molecules 30a located in the inclined portion adjacent to the bit line EQW. The direction is the same. As used in this article, the phrase "EQ on the bit line" It means “located in the electric field represented by the bit lines” (^). The orientation change of the liquid crystal molecules 30a (starting from the liquid crystal molecules in the inclined portion of the bit lines) will be as described above. The method is carried out and reaches a stable state, as shown in FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram. The liquid crystal molecules 3 0 a located near the central part of the open area 丨 5 will be substantially equally affected by the open area 86289 -26-200410026: 5 " The relative orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a at the opposite edge portion is positive, so it will maintain its orientation perpendicular to the bit line EQ. Z, which is far away from the open area, is said that the molecule 30 is received near the edge portion. The influence of the other liquid crystal molecules 30a-million is inclined, thereby forming a tilt-million-position symmetrical to the center SA of the open region 15. When viewed from a direction perpendicular to the display plane of the liquid crystal display device 100 (a direction perpendicular to the substrate 11 and 21 planes), the axial direction of the liquid crystal molecules is radially toward the center of the open area 15 (not shown). In this specification, such an orientation will be referred to as a "radial tilt orientation". In addition, the area where the liquid crystal display appears with a radial tilt direction based on a single axis is referred to as a "liquid crystal domain". The liquid crystal domain in which the liquid crystal molecules 30a exhibit a radial oblique orientation is also formed in a region corresponding to the unit solid portion 14a surrounded by the open region 15 on the substrate. The liquid crystal molecules 30a located in the region corresponding to the unit solid portion 14a, and the edge portions EG of the open region 15 are affected by the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a. Therefore, the center SA (corresponding to the open) of the unit solid portion 14a is presented. The center of the unit lattice formed by region 5). The radial tilt orientation of the liquid crystal domain formed in the elementary entity Shao 14a 'and the radial tilt orientation formed in the open region 15 will be continuous with each other' and both are consistent with the liquid crystal of the EG at the edge portion of the open region 15 The orientation of molecule 30a is the same. The orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a of the liquid crystal domain formed in the open region 15 is an upwardly extending cone (toward the substrate 100b), and the liquid crystal molecules 30a of the liquid crystal domain formed in the unit solid portion 1々a The orientation is a downwardly extending cone (toward the substrate 100a). As described above, the radial tilt orientation in the liquid crystal domain formed in the open region 15 and the 86289 -27-200410026 radial tilt orientation in the liquid crystal domain formed in the unit solid portion 14a are continuous with each other. Therefore, a misalignment (azimuth defect) is not formed at the boundary therebetween, and thus it is possible to avoid a reduction in display quality due to misalignment. Note that the liquid crystal layer 30 near the center portion of the open area 15 may not be applied with a sufficient voltage, so the liquid crystal layer 30 near the center portion of the open area 15 is used for display. In other words, even if the radial tilt direction of the liquid crystal layer 30 near the center portion of the open area 1 $ is subject to a certain degree of dry k (for example, even if the central axis deviates from the center of the open area 15), the display quality is not degraded. Therefore, as long as a liquid crystal domain is formed in a region corresponding to at least the unit solid part i4a, continuous liquid crystal molecules can be obtained in each image element region, and wide viewing angle characteristics and high display quality can be realized. In order to improve the viewing angle dependence in all azimuth angles (which is the display quality of a liquid crystal display device), the probability of existence of the liquid crystal molecules 30a located in various azimuth angle directions is better in each image element area With rotational symmetry, the better system has axial symmetry. Therefore, it is preferable that the liquid crystal domains are aligned to be highly symmetrical in each image element region. In this specific embodiment, the Ua direction of the physical entity portion (the row direction is called a row-row, so it has = rotational symmetry and equivalent axial symmetry. Therefore, each corresponds to the liquid crystal domain of the unit entity portion 14a. It is also aligned to be rotationally symmetric and equivalent axisymmetric. As described above with reference to FIG. M and FIG. 3B, the image element electrode 14 of the liquid crystal display device of the present invention includes a plurality of unit solid portions i4p. A negative dielectric anisotropy in the crystal layer 3G represented by the electric field plant in the image element region and the crystal layer 3G represented by the inclined equipotential line EQ is generated in the liquid crystal layer 30 surrounded by Liquid crystal molecular technique 86289 -28-200410026 (when no voltage is applied, it is aligned vertically) will be divided into 30a with the liquid crystal located in the inclined part of the equipotential line EQ as the trigger signal The orientation changes to change its orientation. Because of &, the liquid crystal domain with a radial tilt orientation will be formed in the open area 15 and the solid part of the cell. According to the voltage applied to the entire liquid crystal layer, the liquid crystal will change. Orientation of liquid crystal molecules in the domain Displaying ... The shape of the element element 14a of the image element electrode 14 of the liquid crystal display device of the present embodiment (see the substrate normal direction) and alignment, and the liquid crystal display device 100 will be described below. The open area 15 of the substrate is 10 °. The display characteristics of the hard crystal display device will show azimuth dependence due to the orientation (optical anisotropy) of the liquid crystal molecules. In order to reduce the display characteristics, The better azimuth dependence is to place the liquid crystal molecules in all azimuth angles with a substantially equal probability. The better is to align the liquid crystal molecules in each image element region with a substantially equal probability. Located in all azimuths. Therefore, the preferred shape of the unit solid portion 14a is that the liquid crystal domain formed in each image element region can make each liquid crystal domain corresponding to the unit solid portion 14a with a substantially equal probability. The liquid crystal molecules 30a are oriented in all azimuths. More specifically, in the preferred system, the shape of the unit solid portion 14a is symmetrical with respect to the center of each unit solid portion. (Normal direction) rotation symmetry (better symmetrical to at least one double rotation axis). In addition, since only a part of the liquid crystal domain corresponding to the open area 5 is included in the image element area and The display is helpful, so it is better that the liquid crystal molecules contained in the set of liquid crystal domain parts (fragments) in the image area have a probability that is substantially equal to 86289 -29-200410026 toward all azimuths. Because of A, it is best to be open The shape and alignment of the region 15 is sufficient for the liquid crystal domain fragments to form a liquid crystal domain in a complementary manner. In particular, the shape of the open region 15 is rotationally symmetric and the open region 15 can be symmetric with respect to r. Please note that since the liquid crystal domain formed in the open area 1 $ is partially outside the image element area, it may be difficult to align the open area 15 so that the liquid crystal domain segments together form the liquid crystal domain in a complementary manner. However, there is a chance that the liquid crystal molecules of each set of liquid crystal domain fragments that face different tens of thousands of angles will turn from symmetry (preferably axisymmetric), which is enough to reduce the azimuth dependence of the display characteristics. 5A to 5C, the general star-shaped open region 15 surrounding the general circular unit solid portion 14a will now be aligned as shown in FIG. 8; when the liquid crystal molecules 3 are in the lattice, (Azimuth orientation. Each of the systems shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C is a schematic diagram of the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a when viewed from the normal direction of the substrate. The display of the liquid crystal molecules 30a viewed from the substrate normal direction is shown. In the azimuthal pattern (for example, FIG. 5c), the black speckled end of the oval-shaped liquid crystal molecule 30a indicates that the liquid crystal molecule 30a is tilted so that the end is closer to the other end than the other side with the image element electrode.丨 The substrate of the bucket shows that this representation method is also applicable to the following drawings. The single unit in the image element area shown in FIG. 1A will be described below (it is composed of four open areas 15). The cross-sectional views of the individual diagonal lines of FIGS. 5A to 5C correspond to FIGS. 1B, 3A, and 3B, respectively, and the following description will also refer to FIG. 1B, FIG. 3A, and FIG. 3B. The state when the electrodes 22 have the same potential (that is, when the voltage is not applied to the entire liquid crystal layer 30) ), The directions of the liquid crystal molecules 3〇a 86289 -30-200410026 in the K direction will be affected by the vertical alignment layer (not shown) on one side of each substrate J7D substrate 100a and closer to the liquid crystal layer 3 〇Anti-substrate 〖〇〇b is adjusted to show vertical alignment, as shown in Figure 5A. After the electric field is applied in the entire liquid crystal layer 30 so as to generate the electric field π shown by the isoline EQ of Fig. 3, Then, a moment acts on the liquid crystal molecules 30a with negative dielectric anisotropy to guide the axial direction of the liquid crystal molecules 30a parallel to the bit lines EQ. As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B described above, For the liquid crystal molecules 30a under the electric field represented by the equipotential line EQ of its molecular axis, it is not unique enough to indicate in which direction the liquid crystal molecules 30a should tilt (rotate) (Fig. 4A) '' Therefore, it is not easy to change the orientation (tilt or rotation). On the contrary, for the liquid crystal molecules 30a located at the equipotential line Eq inclined to the molecular axis, the direction of tilt (rotation) is uniquely defined. Therefore, orientation orientation is easy to occur. 30a starts to tilt from the edge portion of the open region 15 where the molecular axis of the liquid crystal molecule 30a is inclined to the position line EQ. Then, the surrounding liquid crystal molecules 30a will follow to tilt away from the far open region.丨 The orientation of the tilted liquid crystal molecules Chuan a at the edges is the same, as shown in Figure 4C. Then, the axial direction of the liquid crystal molecules 30a will show a steady state as shown in Figure 5C (radial tilted orientation As mentioned above, when the shape of the open area 15 is rotationally symmetrical, the liquid crystal molecules 30a in the image element area will start from the edge of the open area 15 toward the surface after the voltage is applied. The centers of the open areas 15 are tilted in order. Therefore, a kind of azimuth will be generated. Among them, the center of the liquid crystal near 30a will remain at the center of the open area 15 (the individual azimuth adjustment force of the liquid molecule 30a from each edge portion is reached here). The plane is aligned vertically, and the liquid crystal molecules 30a around 86289 31 200410026 will be tilted in a radiation pattern based on the liquid crystal molecules 30a near the center of the open area 15, and the degree of inclination will gradually increase as they move away from the open area. 1 5 center and gradually increase. The liquid crystal molecules 30a in the region of the generally circular unit solid portion 14a surrounded by the general star-shaped open regions 15 aligned in a square lattice pattern will also be tilted accordingly, so that the The orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 3 0 a inclined by the inclined electric field generated at the edge portion. Therefore, a formula "U" in which the liquid crystal molecules 30a in the vicinity of the center of the unit 14a (the individual orientation adjustment forces of the liquid crystal molecules 30a from each edge portion reach equilibrium here) will be maintained Aligned perpendicularly to the substrate plane, and the surrounding liquid crystal molecules 30a will be tilted in a radiation pattern based on the liquid crystal molecules 30a near the center of the unit solid portion 14a, and the degree of tilt will increase as it moves away from the unit entity The portion 14a gradually increases in the center. When Xin Shangwei, w · η i,% τ, and 亍 30a (radial tilt orientation) are aligned in a square lattice pattern, the liquid crystal molecules 30a in the individual directions have rotational symmetry. The probability of sex, because it is said to be able to achieve high-quality display without any maze in perspective. In order to reduce the viewing angle dependence of the liquid crystal domain with a radial oblique orientation, the loose liquid crystal domain is better and the symmetry A ~, the gate, and the 疋 ^ r symmetry Every; axis). The better symmetry is at least one quadruple rotation = equal to the radial tilt orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30 & or the counterclockwise bite shown in Fig. 6C will be easier than the one shown in Fig. 6A. The radial and oblique orientation of the radial oblique side of the pattern must be stable. The spiral orientation 86289 -32 200410026 is different from the general twist orientation (the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a will follow the orientation of the liquid crystal layer 30. Thickness changes in a spiral manner). In the spiral orientation, the azimuth direction of the liquid crystal molecules 30a in a minute region does not substantially change with the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30. In other words, at any thickness The orientation of the cross-section of the liquid crystal layer 3 G (in a plane parallel to the layer plane) is as shown in FIG. 6B or 6C, and there is substantially / against any twisted 'crossing' along the thickness of the liquid crystal layer%. However, if the liquid crystal domain is considered as a whole, there is a certain degree of twisting deformation. When using a material obtained by adding a nematic liquid crystal material with negative dielectric anisotropy to a palm reagent, it is applied in Voltage # 在 时 ， 此 液The molecule 30a will show the radial i and oblique orientation of the counterclockwise or clockwise spiral pattern based on the open area 15 and the unit solid portion 14a as shown in Figure 6B or figure. Presenting a counterclockwise or clockwise spiral pattern depends on the type of palmity reagent used. Therefore, the liquid crystal layer 30 in the open region 15 is controlled by the presence of an applied voltage to make it a radial pattern of a spiral pattern. The oblique orientation, ㈣, the omnidirectional radial pattern of the spiral pattern of the liquid crystal molecules 30a, which is based on other liquid crystal molecules 30a perpendicular to the plane of the substrate, can remain solid in all liquid crystal domains. Uniform display can be achieved without displaying non-uniform results. Since the direction of the spiral pattern near the liquid crystal molecules 30a perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 7 and ▲ is quite clear, it is also possible to improve the applied voltage to the entire liquid crystal layer 30 The response speed after that. Furthermore, after adding a large amount of the counteracting reagent, the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a follows the twisted orientation of the @force as the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 3086 86289. 200410026 degrees to change its spiral pattern. In the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a does not change the orientation of its spiral pattern with the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30, it is oriented perpendicular or parallel to the polarizing plate. The liquid crystal molecules 30a of the polarization axis do not cause a phase difference to the incident light, so the incident light passing through a region with such an orientation does not have any effect on the transmittance. On the contrary, in these liquid crystal molecules 3 The orientation of 〇a will change the orientation of its spiral pattern with the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30. The liquid crystal molecules 30a oriented perpendicular or parallel to the polarization axis of the polarizing plate will cause a phase difference to the incident light, and Optical rotation force is also used, so the incident light passing through the area with this orientation will affect the transmittance. Therefore, a liquid crystal display device capable of producing a high-brightness display can be obtained. In the example of tf shown in FIG. 1A, each of the unit solid portions 14 & has a general circular shape and the female open regions 15 have a general star shape. Among these unit solid portions 14a and these The open areas 15 are all arranged in a square grid. However, the shape of the unit solid part 4a and the shape and alignment of the open area U are not limited to the above examples. FIGS. 7A and 7B are plan views illustrating liquid crystal display devices having individual open regions 15 and cell solid portions 4a of different shapes, respectively, and 〇〇〇 and 〇〇〇b. The open area 15 and the cell entity portion 14 of the liquid crystal display device 100 and 100B shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B are respectively the open area and the cell entity portion of the liquid crystal display device 100 of FIG. 1A. The portions are slightly twisted. The open area 15 and the unit solid portion 14a of the liquid crystal display devices 100A and 100B have a double rotation axis (not having a quadruple rotation axis), and after regular alignment, a rectangular unit lattice is formed. In the liquid crystal display devices 108 and 100; 6, Kai 86289 -34- 200410026, the area 15 is a twisted star shape, and the unit solid part 14a is a general oval shape (distorted Round shape). The liquid crystal display devices 100A and 100B shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B still have high display quality and desired viewing angle characteristics. In addition, both the liquid crystal display device 100c ^ pl00D shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B still have a display quality of 预期 and an expected viewing angle characteristic. In the liquid crystal display devices 100C and 100D, the generally cross-shaped open area 15 is provided in a square pattern, and therefore each unit solid portion 14 & has a generally square shape. Of course, these patterns can be distorted to form a long rectangular unit lattice. As described above, by regularly aligning the unit solid portions 14a of these general rectangles (including squares and rectangles), a liquid crystal display device with high display quality and desired viewing angle characteristics can also be obtained. However, the shape of the 'open region 15 and / or the unit solid portion 14a is preferably circular or elliptical' rather than rectangular, so that the radial inclined orientation can be made more stable. Xianxin has round or oval openings and / or radial inclined orientation of the solid part of the unit will be more stable. This is because the edges of the open area 5 will be more smoothly bought (smooth), so these liquid crystals The orientation of the molecule 30a can be changed in a more continuous (smooth) manner. Considering the continuity in the azimuth direction of the liquid crystal molecules 30a as described above, a liquid crystal display device 100E as shown in FIG. 9 is also expected. The liquid crystal display device 100E of FIG. 9 is a modification of the liquid crystal display device 100D of FIG. 8B, in which each side of the open area 15 on the unit solid portion 14a is curved. In the liquid crystal display device 100 £, the 'open area 15 and the unit solid part 4a both have a quadruple rotation axis and are arranged in a square lattice pattern (having a quadruple rotation axis). In addition, the shape of the single solid part i4a of the open area 86289 -35-200410026 15 can be twisted into a shape with a double axis of rotation, and the unit solid part 14a can be set into a rectangular lattice (which With dual rotation axis), as shown in Figures 7A and 7B. The voltage applied to the liquid crystal domain formed in the open region 15 will be lower than the voltage applied to the liquid crystal domain; the voltage in the other liquid crystal domain formed in the shell body 14a will be lower. Therefore, for example, in the normal black mode display, the liquid crystal domain formed in the open area is relatively dark. Therefore, it is preferable that the area ratio of the unit solid portion 14a in the image element region is higher, and the area ratio of the open region 15 is lower. In the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, the image element electrode 14 includes a plurality of : Meta-physical part 14a, which can be based on the shape and size of the image element area], and so on. Shida aligns a plurality of unit solid parts in the image element area. 1. Stable radial tilt in the image element area The orientation need not be limited by the shape and size of the image element =. In contrast, if the image element electrode includes only one unit solid part, it may not be possible to achieve a stable radial tilt orientation according to the shape and size of the image element region. If the image element area has a circular or square shape, it is not a problem that the image element electrode includes an early solid part. For example, if the image element area is K and W, which can produce a color display, night and day are not displayed in the device, and the image element area has a large rectangular shape with a large aspect ratio. In the case of the 乂 shape, the solid part of the early part needs to have a shape with a large aspect ratio. At this time, the method can be used to realize a stable radial tilt of tens of thousands. In addition, for example, when the size of the image element area is large, the unit paste must have a large ruler. In the case of this type, only the dumping generated around the unit's body part is necessary. Premature heart /% oblique electricity may not be able to obtain a stable orientation. 86289 -36- 200410026 In addition, in the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, a plurality of unit solid portions 14a are aligned (arranged in a row) in a predetermined direction in each image element region, as shown in FIG. 1A for example. Compared with the case where the unit solid parts are aligned in more than two rows, this can increase the area ratio of the unit solid area 14a, and increase the contribution to the display relative to the total area of the image element area (effective aperture ratio). Area ratio. Next, the reason will be explained with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, the liquid crystal display device 10 ′ includes interposed bus lines (scanning lines) 41 extending parallel to each other in a column direction D2, and further includes source bus lines (signal lines) 42 extending parallel to each other in a row direction D1. Each gate bus line (scanning line) 41 is electrically connected to a gate electrode of a TFT (not shown) provided to each image element area, and the source bus bar (signal line) 42 is electrically connected to Source electrode for Ding. In addition, the drain electrode of the TFT is electrically connected to the image element electrode 14. The liquid crystal display device 1 ooe further includes a storage capacitor line 43. In the liquid crystal display device 100E, many unit solid portions 14a are aligned in a row in each image element area, and a portion of the open area 15 surrounding the unit solid area 14a overlaps the gate bus 41 or the source bus 42. And this part is located outside the image element area. Therefore, at least a part of each of the plurality of open areas is located outside the image element area. When a plurality of unit solid portions 14a are aligned in two or more rows, there will be an open area 15 surrounded by the unit solid portions 4a in each image element area, and such open areas 15 are completely located Within the image element area. For example, in the comparative example liquid crystal display device 1000, when the unit solid part 14a is aligned in two or more rows as shown in FIG. 11, there will be one by each image element area. The open area 15 surrounded by the unit solid part 14a, and the open area 15 of this type 86289 -37-200410026 is located completely within the image element area. Next, the area ratio of the open area 15 in the image element area is increased, so that the area ratio of the unit solid part ... is decreased. In contrast, when a plurality of unit solid parts are arranged in a row in each image element area as shown in FIG. 10, each of the plurality of open areas_at least one part is located outside the image element area Therefore, it is possible to reduce the image element; the area ratio of the middle open region 15 and increase the area ratio of the unit solid part ⑷, thereby improving the aperture ratio. ^ Now ', we will describe in more detail how the aperture ratio can be improved with reference to the information obtained by using a full-size liquid crystal display device. The specifications of this liquid crystal display device are as follows: The diagonal length of the display area is 15 inches, and the unit paste portion Ua has a general square diagram including a fox-shaped corner portion, as shown in FIG. 10, The width of the mud line of the gate g and the visibility of the light blocking layer on the source bus line are both 2 μπ1, and the interval between the unit solid portions 14a is 8.5 μm. The transmittance of the liquid crystal display device when the body part i4a of the unit f is aligned in one row is compared with the transmittance of the liquid crystal display device when the unit solid part 14a is arranged in two rows. The transmittance when the two rows are aligned with the unit solid part 14a. The transmittance of the Putian unit is improved when the first row is 1 row. It is increased by 6% when used for SXGA (1280 X 1024 pixels). 9% increase in υχ (} Α (16⑽X 1200 pixels) and 11% increase when used in QXGA (2084 X η% pixels). Therefore, 'by making multiple unit entities in each image element area The part 14a is arranged in a row to improve the aperture ratio effect, which is particularly obvious in high-definition liquid crystal display devices. Please note that the image element | pole 14 and the gate bus line 41 or source bus 86289 -38- 200410026 row In the structure in which the lines 42 overlap (shown in FIG. 0), it is preferable that the thickness of the insulating film (for example, an organic insulating film) formed on the bus line is as thick as possible, and the image element electrode 14 is formed on Only in this way can the influence of these busbars be reduced. See more in Figure 12, S "indicates the length of the gap between the square unit lattice formed by the open area 15 and the unit solid part i4a (hereinafter referred to as" side retention interval S ”). The side separation interval s must be equal to or greater than the predetermined length in order to produce The tilting electric field required to obtain a stable radial tilt orientation. Although the side-spacing interval s is defined by the column direction D2 and the row direction D1, in this specific embodiment, only the images adjacent to each other along the column direction D2 The element will be driven by the voltage of the opposite polarity in the frame shown in Figure 2. Therefore, compared to the case where the image elements adjacent to each other in the centering direction D2 are not driven by the voltage of the opposite polarity, this method can obtain Sufficient adjustment of the azimuth force, even if the side separation interval 8 in the column direction D2 is reduced. This is because when the image elements adjacent to each other in the column direction D2 are driven by the opposite polarity voltage, a relatively strong tilt can be generated The electric field will be described below with reference to FIG. 13A and FIG. 13B.

Apply two pressures to the two image element regions ^ isoline EQ. The generated liquid crystal layer in one region is shown in Figure 1A. When phase-to-phase and polar voltages are applied to two adjacent images, 86289 39 200410026 bit line EQ forms a liquid crystal layer in the connected element region. The electric field will cause the continuity of Shenyang's concave / central convex pattern. In contrast, as shown in Fig. 1 3β, the voltage of the opposite polarity of Apricot phase and field is applied to the liquid crystal of the two image element areas; when it is removed, it represents the voltage generated by the two image element areas. The isoline E 0 of the electric field does not correspond to iigreen ^ e, or even,, and male, but drops sharply in the open area 15. Therefore, 'the price at the edge of the open area 15, # 许 B 口 —— 1 knife will be around the early Wuguan body part 14a' to form a steep hillside potential ladder household 1 degree, so the resulting The electric power of the inclined electric field is larger than that shown in Fig. 13A. As described above, when the image elements connected to each other along the column direction O2 are driven by voltages of opposite polarities, a sufficient adjustment azimuth force can be obtained, even if the side separation interval s of the column universal D2 is reduced. Therefore, even when the distance between the two image element electrodes 14 adjacent to each other in the column direction D2 is reduced, a sufficiently stable radial tilt orientation can be formed to increase the aperture ratio. The octopus test is also performed using a liquid crystal display device with a specific specification as shown above (the diagonal length of the display area of the liquid crystal display device is 15 inches, and the monolithic shellfish 14a has a curved corner portion The shape of the general square, the width of the gate bus line and the width of the light blocking layer on the source bus line are 12 μΠ1, and the interval between the unit physical parts 14a is 8.5 μηι). To be clear, it is to compare the case where the picture elements adjacent to each other in the column direction D2 are driven by the opposite pole voltage and the case where they are not driven by the reverse polarity voltage. In the case where the image elements adjacent to each other in the column direction D2 are not driven by voltages of opposite polarities, the minimum distance between the image element electrodes 14 that achieves a stable radial tilt orientation is 8 $, which is equal to each The distance between the unit solid portions 14a in the image element area. Compared to 86289 -40-200410026: Figure I elements adjacent to each other in the column direction D2 are subject to the opposite polarity problem ^ / brother, even if the image element electrodes 14 that are field-connected to each other on the column universal D2 The distance g is reduced to 3 μm, and still obtains a stable radial tilt orientation. In the Du Dong eight-limb embodiment, although the image elements connected to each other in the row direction are not driven by voltages of opposite polarities, as shown in FIG. 14A As shown (the so-called "source line inversion driving configuration") ', but when the image elements connected to each other in the column direction D2 by 0 tb are driven by voltages of opposite polarity, the aperture ratio v can still be improved sufficiently. However,' $ 了 要When other advantageous results are obtained, such as the effect of suppressing flicker, and driving the image elements adjacent to each other in the column direction with opposite polarity voltages, it is better to have image elements every n columns (where 11 is an integer of 1 or more). (That is, every n image elements on the line universal D1), the polarity of the applied voltage is reversed. In other words, in each frame, it is preferable that the polarity of the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer in the image element area of the same row is inverted every n columns. For example, as shown in FIG. 14B, the polarity of the applied voltage is reversed once every two columns of image elements, that is, every two image elements in the row direction (the so-called "two-point inversion driving configuration"). In addition, as shown in FIG. 14C, the polarity of the applied voltage is reversed once for each image element in the column, that is, each image element in the row direction D1 (so-called "dot inversion driving configuration"). If the image elements adjacent to each other in the column direction D2 are driven by the voltage of the counter electrode, 'the image elements connected to each other in the row direction D1 are also driven by the voltage of the counter electrode' as shown in FIG. 14C, which can be shortened.

And the shape and transmission of the unit through-body part 14 a The inventor of the present invention revealed that the unitary body part, "the lion S), when the interval of the unit entity part is kept constant, if the unit entity part The closer the shape of 3 to a circle or ellipse, the higher the orientation resilience: because the closer the shape of the early solid part 14a is to a circle or an ellipse, the liquid crystal molecules in a radially inclined orientation 3 〇a, the higher the azimuth direction, the higher the buyability. It was found that 'the closer the shape of the unit solid portion 14a is to a rectangle, such as a regular or long rectangle, the higher the transmittance. This It is because when the value of "S" is kept constant, if the shape of the solid part of the unit is more connected: the rectangular%, the area ratio of the solid part will increase, so the electric field generated by the electrode is directly increased. The area of the liquid crystal layer is affected (the area is defined by the "substrate normal normal plane"), so the effective aperture ratio is increased. Therefore, the shape of the solid part 14a can be based on the expected azimuth stability and the expected transmission Rate to determine. For example, § When Shaofen 丨 4a has a generally square shape including a generally curved corner portion, as shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, it is possible to achieve 10,000-dimensional stability and relatively high transmittance. Of course, a similar effect can also be obtained when the unit solid blade 14a has a generally rectangular shape including a generally curved corner portion, and it should be noted that due to limitations in the manufacturing process, 'thereby strictly speaking the formation of a conductive film The corner part # of the unit solid part 14a cannot be arc-shaped, but it can be changed to a blunt polygonal shape (a shape formed by a plurality of corners exceeding 90 °), and the corner part May have this micro 86289 -42-200410026 twisted arc (for example, part of an ellipse) or twisted polygon, instead of the four-knife solitary or regular multipurpose (for example, part of a regular polygon) In addition, the 'corner part' can be a combination of curved and obtuse shapes. The term "general arc" used herein can mean any of these shapes. Application > Wangyi 'For similar process related reasons, the shape of the unit solid portion 14a of the general round step shown in FIG. 1A may be a polygonal shape or a twisted shape, rather than a strictly circular shape. In consideration of the response speed, the shape of the unit solid portion 14a may be the shape in the liquid crystal display device 100F shown in the figure. In the liquid crystal display device shown in FIG. 15, the shape of the cell f body portion 14a of the picture element electrode 14 is a twisted square with acute corners. It should be noted that a sharp angle with an acute angle as used herein means having an angle less than 90. Corners or rounded corners. When the unit solid portion 14a has an acute-angled corner portion, as shown in the figure, the total length of the edge portion generating the oblique electric field will increase, so the oblique electric field can act on more liquid crystal molecules 30a. Therefore, in response to the electric field, the number of liquid crystal molecules 30a that are initially tilted will increase, thereby reducing the time required to form a radial tilt direction on one image element region *. Because: The response speed of voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer 30 is improved. In addition, when the unit solid portion 14a has a shape containing an acute angle, the liquid crystal molecules 30 are compared with the case where the shape of the unit solid portion 14a is generally 阊 y +, U-shaped or generally rectangular. a Toward each specific azimuth barrier, the probability of existence with a universal joint will increase (or decrease). In other words, the liquid crystal molecule 30

Therefore, when an acute angle is used in a liquid crystal // clothing early entity 86289 -43-200410026 part 14a having a linearly polarized light incident on the polarizing plate of the liquid crystal layer 30, the liquid crystal molecules 3a may be reduced vertically or There is a probability that the horizontal direction is toward the polar axis of the polarizing plate, that is, the liquid crystal molecules 30a that do not provide a phase difference to the incident light. Therefore, it is possible to improve light transmittance and realize a brighter display. The alignment method of the liquid crystal display device of the specific embodiment 1 as described above can adopt the same alignment method of the vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device known in the art and can be produced by a known manufacturing method, but the following Except for two points, first, the image element electrode 14 includes a plurality of single solid parts 14a aligned in two rows in a direction aligned with two cycles, in which the image elements are aligned periodically, and second, the other The image elements adjacent to each other in a periodic alignment direction are driven by opposite electrode voltages. Generally, a vertical alignment film (not shown) as a vertical layer is located on one side of each of the image element electrodes 14 and the counter electrode 22 closer to the liquid crystal layer 30 so as to vertically align the Liquid crystal molecules with negative dielectric anisotropy. The liquid crystal material may be a nematic liquid crystal material having negative dielectric anisotropy. A host-guest type liquid crystal display device can be obtained by adding a dichroic dye to the nematic liquid crystal material having negative dielectric anisotropy. The host-guest LCD device does not require a polarizing plate. Embodiment 2 The structure of one of the image element regions of a liquid crystal display device 200 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 16A and 16B. Moreover, in the following drawings, each element having substantially the same function as the corresponding element in the liquid crystal display device 100 will be represented by the same element symbol, and 86289 -44-200410026 will not be made below. -Step description. Figure 16A is a plan view seen from the normal direction of the substrate, and head 16B is a straight line 16B_16B along the straight line of Figure 16B. The cross-section of Figure 16B is that the applied voltage does not exist in the entire liquid crystal layer. State. As shown in FIG. 16A and FIG. 16B, the liquid crystal display device 200 is different from the liquid crystal display device 100 in the specific embodiment 1 which is not shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 1B, in which the FT substrate 200a is in the image element. The open region ^ of the electrode 14 includes a protrusion. A vertical alignment film (not shown) is formed on the surface of the crying portion 40. The section of the crying section 40 along the n-plane of the substrate is generally a star-shaped section, that is, the shape is the same as that of the open region 15 as shown in FIG. 6a. Please note that the adjacent Cryout Shao 40 series are connected to each other, so each unit solid portion 14a can be completely surrounded by a generally circular pattern. The protruding portion 40 is generally trapezoidal in cross section along a plane perpendicular to the substrate 11, as shown in FIG. 16B. Specifically, its cross-section has a top surface 40t parallel to the substrate plane, and a side surface 40s inclined from the main acute angle Θ (< 90 °) of the substrate plane. Because the vertical alignment film (not shown) is provided to cover the relationship of the protruding portion 40, the side surface 40s of the protruding portion 40 has an orientation adjusting force, and its direction is in accordance with the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer 30a. The direction of azimuth adjustment caused by the tilted electric field is the same, so it can be used to stabilize the radial tilted azimuth. The function of the protruding portion 40 will now be described with reference to Figs. 17A to 17D, Figs. 18A and 18B. First, the relationship between the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a and the surface structure having a vertical alignment force will be explained with reference to FIGS. 11A to 17D. As shown in FIG. 17A, due to the 位 ^ + system of the tens of thousands of adjustment forces of the surface with vertical alignment force (generally vertical 86289 -45-200410026 aligned with fe), the liquid crystal molecules j〇a in the horizontal plane will Is aligned perpendicular to the surface.

同的機率作用於該液晶分子3〇 F 、 上。所以，對位於平行板對 準中的一對反電極之間的液晶層丄 曰屬利而吕，會有部分的液晶 分子3〇a係受到順時針方向的力矩作用，以及會有部分的並 它液晶分子30a係受到反時針方向的力矩作用。因此，並無 法非常順利地根據施加於整個潘曰 U/夜日日層30的電壓而轉換成為 其方位。 當經由與-傾斜表面呈垂直料的液晶分子術施加由 水平等位線EQ所表示的電場後’如圖17B所示，該液晶分 子30a便會朝只要較小的旋轉便能使其平行該電位線£〇的 万向傾斜（圖中所示的範例為順時針方向）。接著，如圖17C 所示，其它與水平面成垂直對準之相鄰的液晶分子3〇a便會 與位於該傾斜表面中的液晶分子3〇a朝相同的方向（順時針 方向）傾斜，因此其方位便會和與該傾斜表面呈垂直對準的 液晶分子3 0 a的方位連續（一致）。 如圖17D所示，對於具有凹形/凸形部且其剖面包含一連 串梯形之表面來說，位於頂面的液晶分子3〇a及位於底面的 液晶分子30a會被方位成與由位於該表面的傾斜部份中的 其它液晶分子30a所調整的方位方向一致。 在本具體實施例的液晶顯示裝置中，由該表面結構（突出 86289 -46 - 200410026 邯）所施加的方位調整力量的方向會對準傾斜電場所施加 的方位調整力量的方向，因而可穩定該放射狀傾斜方位。 圖1 8 A及圖1 8B所示的各係圖1 6B的液晶層30於施加電厚 存在時的狀態示意圖。圖1 8 A概略說明根據施加至液晶層3 〇 的電壓，液晶分子30a方位剛開始改變（初始〇N狀態）的狀態 。圖18B概略說明根據施加的電壓，液晶分子3〇a方位先改 變後又變穩定的狀態。圖1 8 A及圖1 8B中的曲線EQ代表的是 等位線。 如圖16B所示，當圖像元件電極14及反電極22具相同電位 時（也就是，並未於整個液晶層3 〇施加電壓時的狀態），每個 圖像元件區中的液晶分子30a都會被對準成垂直於該等基 板11及2 1的表面。與位於該突出部4〇的側表面4〇s中的垂直 對準膜（未顯示）接觸的液晶分子3(^便會被對準成垂直於該 侧表面40s，而位於該侧表面4〇s附近的液晶分子3〇a側會因 為與週遭的液晶分子30a互相作用（其如同彈性連續性般都 係其本質）的關係而呈現出如圖所示傾斜方位。 當在整個液晶層30中施加電壓後，便會產生圖18A中等位 線EQ所示的電位梯度。該等等位線EQ係平行於該液晶層 30(其係位於該圖像元件電極14之實體部及反電極22之間） 中的貫ta邯及反電極22的表面，並且會在對應該圖像元件 電極14之開放區15的區域中往下降，因而便會在開放區15 的邊緣邵分（開放區15的㈣冑分及其内#，包含其邊界在 内）EG上万的孩液晶層3〇的每個區域中產生由該等等位線 EQ之傾斜部分所表示的傾斜電場。 86289 -47 - 200410026 如上所述，由太居彳貝斜電場的關係，圖丨8 A中右邊邊緣部 份EG上方的液晶分子3〇a會朝順時針方向傾斜（旋轉），而左 邊邊緣部份EG上万的液晶分子3〇a則會朝反時針方向傾斜 (旋轉），如圖18A的箭頭所示，以便平行該等等位線£卩。因 此，該傾斜電場所施加的方位調整力量便會與位於每個邊 緣部分EG的侧表面40s所施加的方位調整力量相同。 如上所述，該方位的變化會從位於該等等位線£卩之傾斜 部份中的液晶分子3〇a開始，然後達到圖丨8B所示的穩定的 方位狀態。位於開放區1 5之中心部分附近（也就是，位於該 突出部40的頂面40t之中心部分附近）的液晶分子3〇a會實質 相等地受到位於該開放區1 5之對面邊緣部分]£〇處的液晶 分子3 0 a之個別方位的影響，所以會維持其方位垂直於該等 等位線EQ。遠離開放區15之中心（該突出部4〇的頂面4〇t)的 液晶分子3 0a則會因文到位於較近的邊緣部分EG處的其它 液晶分子30a的方位的影響而傾斜，從而形成一對稱於該開 放區15之中心SA(該突出部40的頂面40t)的傾斜方位。在對 應至由該等開放區1 5及該等突出部4〇包圍）的單元實體部 k 14 a的區域中，也會形成對稱於該單元實體部份1 * a之中 心SA的傾斜方位。 如上所述’在具體實施例2在液晶顯示裝置2〇〇中，會如 同在具體實施例1的液晶顯示裝置1 〇〇中一樣，對應該等開 放區15及遠等單元貫體邵份14a的區域也會形成各具放射 狀傾斜方位的液晶域。由於具有突出部4〇才能以一般圓形 的圖案完全包圍每個單元實體部份14 a，因此每個液晶域會 86289 -48 - 200410026 在對應到由突出部40包圍的一般圓形的區域中形成。此外 ，開放區15中提供的突出部侧表面1來使開放區15邊 緣邵觸附近的液晶分子30a以如同傾斜電場所施加的調 整万位力的相同万向傾斜’藉此較放射狀傾斜方位。 當然’該傾斜電場所施加的方位調整力量僅有在 壓存在時方能產生作用，其強度則係取決於該電場的強产 (該施加電壓的位準)。所以，當該電場強度很小時(即 施加電壓很低時），該傾斜電場所施加的方位調整力量:非 常弱’此時當施壓㈣液晶面板時，該放射狀傾斜方位便 可能會因為液晶材料的、、拿氟上$ ^ l a 竹的子動而瓦解。當該放射狀傾斜方位 瓦解《後便供法遂原，p余非施加—非常強的電I，足以產 生-傾斜電場來施加—非常強的方位調整力量。相反地，The same probability acts on the liquid crystal molecules 30F ,. Therefore, for the liquid crystal layer between a pair of counter electrodes aligned in a parallel plate, it is considered to be advantageous. Some of the liquid crystal molecules 30a are subject to a clockwise moment, and some of the The liquid crystal molecules 30a are subjected to a counterclockwise moment. Therefore, it cannot be converted into its orientation very smoothly according to the voltage applied to the entire Pan Yue U / night-day-layer 30. When an electric field represented by a horizontal equipotential line EQ is applied via liquid crystal molecules that are perpendicular to the -slanted surface, as shown in FIG. 17B, the liquid crystal molecules 30a will be aligned in parallel with a small rotation. Potential line is tilted universally (the example shown in the figure is clockwise). Then, as shown in FIG. 17C, other adjacent liquid crystal molecules 30a aligned perpendicular to the horizontal plane will tilt in the same direction (clockwise) as the liquid crystal molecules 30a located on the inclined surface, so The orientation will be continuous (consistent) with the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 3 0 a that are vertically aligned with the inclined surface. As shown in FIG. 17D, for a surface having a concave / convex portion and a cross-section including a series of trapezoids, the liquid crystal molecules 30a on the top surface and the liquid crystal molecules 30a on the bottom surface are oriented so as to be located on the surface. The azimuth direction adjusted by the other liquid crystal molecules 30a in the inclined portion is the same. In the liquid crystal display device of this embodiment, the direction of the azimuth adjustment force applied by the surface structure (protruding 86289 -46-200410026) is aligned with the direction of the azimuth adjustment force applied by the inclined electric field, so that the Radial tilt orientation. Each of the liquid crystal layers 30 shown in FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B is a schematic view of the state of the liquid crystal layer 30 of FIG. 16B when an applied thickness is present. FIG. 18A schematically illustrates a state where the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a has just started to change (initial ON state) according to the voltage applied to the liquid crystal layer 30. Fig. 18B schematically illustrates a state where the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules 30a changes first and then stabilizes according to the applied voltage. The curve EQ in Figure 18A and Figure 18B represents the isoline. As shown in FIG. 16B, when the image element electrode 14 and the counter electrode 22 have the same potential (that is, the state when a voltage is not applied to the entire liquid crystal layer 30), the liquid crystal molecules 30a in each image element region Will be aligned perpendicular to the surfaces of the substrates 11 and 21. The liquid crystal molecules 3a that are in contact with a vertical alignment film (not shown) located in a side surface 40s of the protruding portion 40 are aligned perpendicular to the side surface 40s and are located on the side surface 40. The 30a side of the liquid crystal molecules near s will show an inclined orientation as shown in the figure due to the interaction with the surrounding liquid crystal molecules 30a (which is its essence like elastic continuity). When in the entire liquid crystal layer 30 After the voltage is applied, the potential gradient shown in the medium bit line EQ of FIG. 18A is generated. The bit line EQ is parallel to the liquid crystal layer 30 (which is located in the solid part of the image element electrode 14 and the counter electrode 22). The surface of the counter electrode 22 and the counter electrode 22 will fall in the area corresponding to the open area 15 of the image element electrode 14, and will be divided at the edge of the open area 15 (the open area 15 ㈣ 胄 分 和 内 #, including its boundaries) In each of the regions of the EG liquid crystal layer 30, an inclined electric field represented by the inclined portion of the equal bit line EQ is generated. 86289 -47-200410026 As mentioned above, the relationship between the oblique electric field of the Taijuan scallop, right in Fig. 8A The liquid crystal molecules 30a above the edge portion EG will tilt (rotate) clockwise, while the liquid crystal molecules 30a on the left edge portion EG will tilt (rotate) counterclockwise, as shown in Figure 18A. The arrows indicate so as to parallel the equipotential lines. Therefore, the azimuth adjustment force applied by the inclined electric field is the same as the azimuth adjustment force applied by the side surface 40s located at each edge portion EG. As described above, The change of the orientation will start from the liquid crystal molecules 30a located in the inclined portion of the equipotential line, and then reach the stable orientation state shown in FIG. 8B. It is located near the center portion of the open area 15 ( That is, the liquid crystal molecules 3a located near the center portion of the top surface 40t of the protruding portion 40 are substantially equally affected by the individual liquid crystal molecules 30a located at the opposite edge portion of the open area 15]. The effect of orientation will maintain its orientation perpendicular to the equal bit line EQ. The liquid crystal molecules 3 0a far from the center of the open area 15 (the top surface 40t of the protrusion 40) will be closer to each other due to the text. Other part at the edge of EG The orientation of the crystal molecules 30a is tilted to form a tilted orientation symmetrical to the center SA of the open area 15 (the top surface 40t of the protrusion 40). In the area of the unit solid part k 14 a surrounded by the part 40), an inclined orientation symmetrical to the center SA of the unit solid part 1 * a will also be formed. As described above, in the specific embodiment 2 in the liquid crystal display device 2000, as in the specific embodiment 1, the liquid crystal display device 100 corresponds to the open area 15 and the remote unit 14a. The liquid crystal domains with radial inclined orientations will also be formed in the regions. Since the protruding portion 40 can completely surround each unit solid portion 14 a in a generally circular pattern, each liquid crystal domain will 86289 -48-200410026 correspond to the generally circular area surrounded by the protruding portion 40. form. In addition, the protruding side surface 1 provided in the open area 15 causes the liquid crystal molecules 30a near the edges of the open area 15 to be tilted in the same universal direction as the adjustment force of the tens of thousands applied by the inclined electric field, thereby tilting more radially. . Of course, the azimuth adjustment force applied by the inclined electric field can only work when pressure is present, and its strength depends on the strong production of the electric field (the level of the applied voltage). Therefore, when the electric field strength is very small (that is, when the applied voltage is very low), the orientation adjustment force applied by the inclined electric field is very weak. At this time, when the LCD panel is pressed by pressure, the radial inclined orientation may be caused by the liquid crystal. The material of the bamboo, which took $ ^ la on bamboo, disintegrated.

200410026 當哭出邵40是由具有高透明度的介電材料所製成時，所 獲得的好處為，可改良對於對應到開放區丨5區域中形成的 液晶域的貢獻。當突出部40是由不透明的介電材料所製成 時，所獲得的好處為，可避免因突出部4〇的側表面4〇s的關 係由位於傾斜方位的液晶分子3 〇a的遲延所導致的光漏門 題。是否使用透明的介電材料或不透明的介電材料可取決 於，例如液晶顯示裝置的應用。不論是在哪種情形中，使 用感光樹脂都會具有能夠簡化為對應該等開放區丨5之突出 部40進行圖案化的步騾的優點。為獲得足夠的方位調整力 ，當孩液晶層30的厚度約為3 μηι時，該突出部4〇的高度較 佳的係介於約0.5 μπι至約2 μιη範圍之間。一般來說，該突 出邵40的鬲度較佳係介於該液晶層3〇厚度的約ι/6至約 範圍之間。 如上所述，液晶顯示裝置200包括位於圖像元件電極14 的開放區1 5中的突出部4〇，而且突出部4〇的侧表面以與 液晶層30液晶分子30a的傾斜電場所施加的調整方位力相 同的方向來施力調整方位。現在將參見圖19A至i9c說明以 與傾斜電場所施加的調整方位力㈣的方向來施力調整方 位的侧表面40s的較佳條件。 圖19A至圖19C所示的分別係液晶顯示裝置200A、200B 及200C之剖面示意圖。圖19八至圖丨9〇對應到圖18八。液晶 顯示裝置200A、200B及200C在開放區15中都具有一突出部 ，不過就作為單一結構的整個突出部4〇與其對應的開放區 15之間的位置關係方面來說，則不同於液晶顯示裝置200。 86289 -50 - 200410026 在上述的液晶顯示裝置200中，該作為單—結構的突出部 4 0係形成該開放區1 5足中’而且該突出部4 〇的底面小於令 開放區15，如圖18A所示。在圖19A所示的液晶顯示裝置 200A中，哭出邵40A的底面與開放區15對準。在圖ΐ9β所示 的液晶顯示裝置200B中，突出部40B的底面大於開放區15 ，因此會覆蓋由開放區1 5包圍的實體部份（傳導性薄膜）的— 部份。實體部份不是在任一突出部40、4〇A和4〇8的側表面 40s上形成。因此，如該等個別圖式所示，該等等位線eq 在貫體部之上貫質上係為走平的線，並且於開放區1 5中下 降。所以，如同液晶顯示裝置200的突出部4〇般，液晶顯示 裝置200A的突出部40A的側表面4〇s以及液晶顯示裝置 200B的哭出部40B的側表面4〇s都會施加方位調整力量，其 方向都會與該傾名牛電場所施力口白勺方位言周整力制方向相^ ’因而可穩定該放射狀傾斜方位。 相反地，在圖19C所示的液晶顯示裝置2〇〇c中，突出部 4〇C的底面大於該開放區15，因此會有—部份延伸至該開放 區15上方區域中的實體部形成於該突出部慨的侧表面他 之中。由於形成於該侧表面4〇3中的部分實體部的影響，在 該等等位線EQ中會出現脊狀部分。等位線叫的脊狀部份相 對於下降至開放區15内的等位線EQ的其他部份的脊狀部 份有-頻度。這表示已產生的傾斜電場的方向與使液晶分 子朝向放射狀傾斜方位的傾斜電場方向相反。所以，為 使得該側表面40s的方位調整力具有與該傾斜電場所施加 的方位調整力量相同的方向，該實體部（傳導性薄膜）最好不 86289 -51 - 200410026 要形成於側表面40s中。 接著’將參考圖20說明該突出部40沿著圖1 6A之直線 20A-20A’之剖面結構。 由於如圖1 6 A所形成的突出部4〇可以一般圓形的圖案完 全圍繞每個單元實體部份14a，如上所述，因此就會在如圖 20所示的突出部40上形成用來連接相鄰單元實體部份14a 的部份（分支邵扮從圓形部份向四個方向延伸）。因此，在沈 積傳導性薄膜為圖像元件電極1 4的實體部份的步驟中，很 有可能在突出部40上發生不連續的問題或在製造流程的後 處理中發生分層的問題。 有鑑於此，在圖21A及圖2 1B所示的液晶顯示裝置2〇〇D中 會形成彼此不相關的哭出部40D，讓每個突出部40D都被完 全包含於開放區1 5之中，以便在該基板丨丨的平坦表面中形 成欲作為實體部的傳導膜，因而可消除發生不連續或分層 的可能性。雖然该等哭出邵40D並未以一般圓形的圖案完全 包圍每個單元貫體邵份14a，但是會形成對應每個單元實體 部份14a的一般圓形液晶域，並且可如上述範例般地穩定該 單元實體部份14a的放射狀傾斜方位。 於該開放區15中形成突出部4〇所獲得的放射狀傾斜方位 %疋S後所產生的效果並不僅限於上述的開放區丨5的圖案 ，其同樣適用於具體實施例丨中所述之開放區丨5的各種圖 末中的任-種圖案’以獲得上述的效果。& 了使突出部4〇 施加足夠的力以獲得可對抗應力的穩定方位，最好突出部 4〇的圖案（從基板法線方向所看到的圖案）儘可能地覆蓋較 86289 200410026 多的液晶層30區域。因此，突出部4〇如果例如利用具有圓 形單元實體部份14a的正像圖案就會比利用具有圓形開放 區1 5的負像圖案，獲得更多穩定效果的方位。 具體實施例3 根據本％明具I男知例3的液晶顯示裝置不同於圖1 a和 圖1B所示的具體實施例i的液晶顯示裝置1〇〇，前者中的反 基板包括調整方位的結構。 圖22A至圖22E概略說明具有調整方位結構28的反基板 300b。具有實質上與上述液晶顯示裝置相同功能的每個元 件都將以相同的參考數字標示並且將不作更進一步描述。 如圖22A至圖22E所示的調整方位結構28可用來使液晶 層3〇的液晶分子30a朝向放射狀傾斜方位。應注意，如圖22a 至圖22D以及如圖22E所示的調整方位結構28，就液晶分子 3 〇a將傾斜的方向而言是不同的。 以如圖22A到圖22D所示的調整方位結構28使液晶分子 傾斜的方向，會與在對應至圖像元件電極14的單元實體部 h 1 4a(苓見，例如，圖} a和圖j B)的區域中形成的各液晶域 的放射狀傾斜方位的方位方向對準。相較之下，以如圖22£ 所示的調整方位結構28使液晶分子傾斜的方向，會與在對 應土圖像兀件電極14的開放區參見，例如，圖和圖1B) 的區域中形成的各液晶域的放射狀傾斜方位的方位方向 準。 如圖22A所tf的調整方位結構28係由反電極22的開口 22a 以及相對於開口 22&的圖像元件電極（圖22a中未顯示；择夂 86289 -53 -

200410026 該液晶顯示裝置300包括TFT基板l〇〇a，具有包括單元實 體邵份〗4 a和開放區1 5的圖像元件電極1 4，以及包括該反基 板300b，具有調整方位結構28。TFT基板l〇0a的結構不限於 此處所述的結構，而可以是上述的任何其他結構。此外， 當即使未存在有施加電壓仍會施力調整方位的結構（圖22β 至圖22D以及圖22E)將用來當作調整方位的結構28時，如圖 22B至圖22D的調整方位結構28可以用圖22A所示的結構取 代。 在液晶顯示裝置300的反基板30〇b提供的調整方位結構 28之中，相對於圖像元件電極14的單元實體部份14a的區域 中心附近提供的調整方位結構28是屬於圖22B至圖22D其 中之一的結構，而相對於圖像元件電極14的開放區〗5的區 域中心附近提供的調整方位結構28是屬於圖22E所示的結 構。 藉由這類設置，在整個液晶層30上存在有施加電壓時， 也就是說施加電壓存在於圖像元件電極丨4和反電極22之間 時，圖像元件電極14的單元實體部份14a所形成的放射狀傾 斜方位的方向會與由調整方位結構28所形成的放射狀傾斜 方位的方向一致，藉此使放射狀傾斜方位穩定。其示意圖 顯示於圖24A至圖24C中。圖24A所示的係未存在有施加電 壓的狀態，圖24B所示的係在施加電壓之後，方位剛開始改 變時的狀態（初始ON狀態）；以及圖24c所示的則係電壓施加 期間的穩定狀態。 如圖24A所示，即使未存在有施加電壓時，由該調整方位 86289 <7, 200410026 結構（如圖22 B至圖22D) 2 8所施加的方位調整力仍然會作 用於其附近的液晶分子30a之上，因而可形成一放射狀傾斜 當開始施加電壓時，便會（由TFT基板1 〇〇a的電極結構）產 生如圖24B所示之等位線EQ所代表的電場，並且會在對應 該開放區1 5的每個區域以及對應該實體部份丨4a的每個區 域中形成液晶分子30a呈現放射狀傾斜方位的液晶域，而且 該液晶層30會達到如圖24C所示之穩定狀態。在每個液晶域 中的液晶分子30a的傾斜方向，與在對應區中提供的調整方 位結構28所施加的調整方位力使液晶分子3〇a傾斜的方向 一致。 當施加應力於穩定狀態的液晶顯示裝置3〇〇時，該液晶層 3〇的放射狀傾斜方位會一度瓦解，不過當應力被移除之後 ，便可還原該放射狀傾斜方位，這係因為單元實體部份14& 和調整方位結構28的方位調整力作用於該等液晶分子3〇a 之上的緣故。所以，便可避免因為應力而發生的殘影。當 來自調整方位結構28的調整方位力過強的時候，由於放射 狀傾斜方位，即使未存在有施加電壓仍會發生延遲，因此 顯示對比度會減少。但是，纟自調整方位結構28的調整方 仏力不而要很強，因為只需要有穩定由單元實體部份⑷形 成的放射狀傾斜方位且修正其中央軸位置的效果即可。因 此’只需要有不會導致這種程度的遲延而使顯示惡化的調 整方位力就足夠了。 例如，當使用如圖22B所示的突出部22b時，每個突出部 86289 58 200410026 22b的直徑可以為約15 μηι，高度（厚度）約} μηι，而單元實 骨至邛伤1 4 a的直位可以為約3 〇卜⑽至約3 5 ，如此即可獲得 足夠的调整方位力並抑制由於實際層面的遲延所導致對比 度降低的問題。 圖25Α和圖25Β說明包括調整方位結構的另一液晶顯示 裝置400。 液晶顯示裝置400在相對於71?丁基板1〇〇a的開放區15的區 域中不具有調整方位結構。應該在相對於開放區1 5的區域 中形成的圖22E所示的調整方位結構28的形成，會增加製造Regardless of the applied voltage A material, v ^ L, it will certainly apply the 'force of ten thousand Ui] generated by the side surface of the protrusion 40 and because of the alignment of the alignment boat well known in the prior art Effect "relationship will be very strong. Therefore, even if the θθ material floats and the radial tilt orientation has disintegrated, the liquid crystal molecules 30a in the vicinity of the side surface 40s of the protrusion 40 can still maintain the same azimuth direction as the radial frequency tilt orientation. . Therefore, once the floating reference material # μ of the liquid crystal material and the force of seeing Tsukasa τ stop the heart, the radial tilted orientation can be easily restored. Therefore, the liquid crystal display device 200 of the specific embodiment 2 is In addition to the advantages of the liquid crystal display device f # fU / 7 i, / ′ 二 /, clothes and 100 of bone #paste Example 1, it also has the advantage of strong resistance to stress. Therefore, Jie EJ Miscellaneous Shicheng Shiyang 7F 200 is suitable for devices that are often subject to stress, such as PCs and PDAs that are often carried out. "86289 -49-200410026 When Cry Out Shao 40 is made of a dielectric material with high transparency, the benefit obtained is that it can improve the contribution to the liquid crystal domain formed in the region corresponding to the open region. 5 When the protruding portion 40 is made of an opaque dielectric material, the advantage obtained is that the side surface 40s of the protruding portion 40 can be prevented from being caused by the delay of the liquid crystal molecules 30a in an inclined orientation. The question of light leakage. Whether to use transparent or opaque dielectric materials can depend on, for example, the application of liquid crystal display devices. No matter in which case, the use of photosensitive resins can be simplified to correspond to such open The advantages of the patterned step 40 of the protruding portion 40 in region 5. In order to obtain sufficient orientation adjustment force, when the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30 is about 3 μm, the height of the protruding portion 40 is preferably between In the range of about 0.5 μm to about 2 μm. In general, the degree of the protrusion of the protrusion 40 is preferably between about / 6 and about 6 in the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30. As described above, the liquid crystal display Device 200 includes a bit The protruding portion 40 in the open region 15 of the image element electrode 14 and the side surface of the protruding portion 40 are forced to adjust the orientation in the same direction as the adjusting orientation force applied by the inclined electric field of the liquid crystal layer 30 liquid crystal molecules 30a. 19A to i9c will now be described with respect to the direction of the azimuth adjustment force applied by the tilted electric field to adjust the direction of the azimuth side surface 40s of the preferred conditions. FIGS. 19A to 19C are respectively a liquid crystal display device 200A Schematic cross-sections of 200, 200B, and 200C. Figures 19A to 9B correspond to Figure 18A. The liquid crystal display devices 200A, 200B, and 200C all have a protruding portion in the open area 15, but they serve as the entire protruding portion of a single structure. In terms of the positional relationship between 40 and its corresponding open area 15, it is different from the liquid crystal display device 200. 86289 -50-200410026 In the above-mentioned liquid crystal display device 200, the protruding portion 40 which is a single structure is 40 series. The open area 15 is formed in the middle of the foot, and the bottom surface of the protruding portion 40 is smaller than the open area 15, as shown in FIG. 18A. In the liquid crystal display device 200A shown in FIG. 19A, the bottom surface and the open area of Shao 40A are cried. 15 In the liquid crystal display device 200B shown in FIG. 9β, the bottom surface of the protruding portion 40B is larger than the open area 15, so it will cover a portion of the solid portion (conductive film) surrounded by the open area 15. The solid portion It is not formed on the side surface 40s of any of the protrusions 40, 40A, and 40. Therefore, as shown in the individual diagrams, the iso-bit lines eq are qualitatively walked on the body. It is a flat line and descends in the open area 15. Therefore, like the protruding portion 40 of the liquid crystal display device 200, the side surface 40s of the protruding portion 40A of the liquid crystal display device 200A and the crying portion of the liquid crystal display device 200B The side surface of 40B will apply azimuth adjustment force for 40s, and its direction will be in accordance with the azimuth direction of the forceful mouth of the well-known cattle electric field, so that the radial inclined azimuth can be stabilized. Conversely, in the liquid crystal display device 200c shown in FIG. 19C, the bottom surface of the protruding portion 40C is larger than the open area 15, so there will be a solid portion extending partially into the area above the open area 15. In the side surface of the protrusion. Due to the influence of a part of the solid portion formed in the side surface 403, a ridge portion appears in the bit line EQ. The ridge portion called the contour line has a frequency of-with respect to the ridge portion of the other portion of the contour line EQ falling into the open area 15. This means that the direction of the generated oblique electric field is opposite to the direction of the oblique electric field that orients the liquid crystal molecules toward the radial oblique orientation. Therefore, in order that the azimuth adjustment force of the side surface 40s has the same direction as the azimuth adjustment force applied by the inclined electric field, the solid part (conductive film) is preferably not formed in the side surface 40s-86289 -51-200410026. . Next, the cross-sectional structure of the protruding portion 40 along the line 20A-20A of FIG. 16A will be described with reference to FIG. Since the protruding portion 40 formed as shown in FIG. 16A can completely surround each unit solid portion 14a in a generally circular pattern, as described above, it will be formed on the protruding portion 40 shown in FIG. The part connecting the solid part 14a of the adjacent unit (the branch is extended from the circular part in four directions). Therefore, in the step where the deposited conductive film is a solid part of the image element electrode 14, it is likely that a discontinuity problem may occur on the protruding portion 40 or a problem of delamination may occur in the post-processing of the manufacturing process. In view of this, in the liquid crystal display device 2000D shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, a crying portion 40D that is not related to each other is formed, so that each protruding portion 40D is completely contained in the open area 15. In order to form a conductive film to be a solid part in the flat surface of the substrate, the possibility of discontinuity or delamination can be eliminated. Although these crying out Shao 40D does not completely surround each unit body Shao 14a in a generally circular pattern, it will form a generally circular liquid crystal domain corresponding to each unit solid part 14a, and can be like the above example The radial inclination of the solid portion 14a of the unit is stabilized. The effect obtained by forming the radial inclination azimuth% 疋 S of the protruding portion 40 in the open area 15 is not limited to the pattern of the open area 5 described above, and it is also applicable to those described in the specific embodiment 丨Any of the patterns in the various figures at the end of the open area 5 'to obtain the above-mentioned effect. & In order to apply sufficient force to the protruding portion 40 to obtain a stable orientation against stress, it is best that the pattern of the protruding portion 40 (pattern viewed from the direction of the substrate normal) covers as much as possible than 86289 200410026. Area of the liquid crystal layer 30. Therefore, if, for example, a positive image pattern having a circular unit solid portion 14a is used for the protruding portion 40, a more stable effect orientation is obtained than a negative image pattern having a circular open region 15 is used. Specific Embodiment 3 The liquid crystal display device according to the present example 3 is different from the liquid crystal display device 100 of the specific embodiment i shown in FIG. 1 a and FIG. 1B. The reverse substrate in the former includes structure. 22A to 22E schematically illustrate the counter substrate 300b having the azimuth adjusting structure 28. Each element having substantially the same function as the above-mentioned liquid crystal display device will be designated with the same reference numeral and will not be described further. The orientation adjusting structure 28 shown in Figs. 22A to 22E can be used to orient the liquid crystal molecules 30a of the liquid crystal layer 30 toward a radial inclined orientation. It should be noted that the azimuth adjusting structure 28 as shown in FIGS. 22a to 22D and 22E is different in terms of the direction in which the liquid crystal molecules 30a will tilt. The direction in which the liquid crystal molecules are tilted by the azimuth structure 28 as shown in FIGS. 22A to 22D is different from that in the unit solid portion h 1 4a (see, for example, FIG.} A and FIG. J corresponding to the image element electrode 14. The azimuth directions of the radial tilt azimuths of the respective liquid crystal domains formed in the region B) are aligned. In contrast, the direction in which the liquid crystal molecules are tilted with the azimuth structure 28 as shown in FIG. 22 £ will be seen in the open area corresponding to the soil image element electrode 14, for example, in the area of the figure and FIG. 1B). The azimuth directions of the radially inclined azimuths of the formed liquid crystal domains are accurate. The azimuth adjustment structure 28 shown in FIG. 22A is composed of an opening 22a of the counter electrode 22 and an image element electrode opposite the opening 22 (not shown in FIG. 22a; select 夂 86289 -53-200410026. See, for example, FIG. 1A ) 1 4 is composed of a unit solid part 1 4a. A vertical alignment film (not shown) is provided from one side of the counter substrate 300b closer to the liquid crystal layer 30. The azimuth-adjusting structure 28 applies the azimuth-adjusting force only when an applied voltage is present. Because the azimuth adjustment structure 28 is only used to force the azimuth adjustment to the liquid crystal molecules in each of the liquid crystal domains in the radial tilt orientation formed by the electrode structure of the TFT substrate 100a, the size of the opening 22a will be smaller than that provided by the TFT substrate 100a. The open area 15 will also be smaller than the unit solid portion 1 "(see, for example, Figure 1A) surrounded by the open area 丨 5. For example, as long as the area is less than or equal to the open area 15 or the unit solid portion 14a—half the area A sufficient effect is obtained. When the opening 22 of the provided counter electrode 22 is opposed to the central portion of the unit solid portion 14a of the image element electrode 14, the azimuthal continuity of the liquid crystal molecules will increase, and the radial shape can be corrected accordingly. The position of the central axis of the tilted azimuth. As described above, when the structure for adjusting the azimuth is applied only when a voltage is applied as the azimuth adjusting structure, substantially all of the liquid crystal molecules 30a of the liquid crystal layer 30 When there is applied voltage, vertical alignment is adopted. Therefore, when the general black mode is used, it is substantially a black display / light leakage occurs, thereby achieving expectations. Display of the ratio. However, when no voltage is applied, the force for adjusting the orientation is not applied, so no radial tilt orientation is formed. In addition, when a low voltage is applied, only a weak force for adjusting the orientation is obtained. After a considerable amount of stress is applied to the liquid crystal panel, an afterimage may be seen. As shown in each of the orientation adjustment structures 28 in FIGS. 22B to 22D, the orientation adjustment force is applied regardless of the presence of a voltage, so it can be used in any display. Obtained a fixed radial azimuth orientation at the position of 1¾ and can resist high stress. 86289 -54- 200410026 First, the azimuth adjustment structure as shown in FIG. 22B is shown in brackets-projection ⑽, which is located on the counter electrode 22, And protrudes into the liquid crystal layer 30. Although the protrusion-section is not particularly limited in material, the protrusion section can be easily provided using a dielectric material such as resin. A vertical alignment film (not made by It is provided near one side of the anti-substrate 3_ of the liquid crystal layer 30. The structure of the protruding portion of the milk can make the liquid crystal molecules 30a face a radial tilt (using a vertical alignment force). It is enough to use a resin material that can be deformed by heat: so-after heat treatment after patterning, a protrusion with a slightly convex cross section as shown in Fig. 22B can be formed very easily. And there are vertices (for example, a sphere) The part of the micro-convex section of the micro-convex section can be expected to provide the desired effect of correcting the radial position of the central position of the tilt. The 5-week full digit structure 28 shown in FIG. 22C is provided as having a facing liquid crystal Layer with a horizontal alignment force on the surface, in which the liquid crystal layer is formed on the opposite side of the counter electrode called on the side of the counter electrode on the substrate 21, the opening of the dielectric layer 23t (or Machi part) ... provided. The provided vertical alignment film 24 can cover 1 'of the opposite substrate 3_ which is relatively close to the liquid crystal layer 30 while leaving an area corresponding to the uncovered opening 仏, so the opening 仏The surface is used as a horizontally aligned surface. On the other hand, the horizontal alignment film 25 can be provided only by the opening 23a as shown in Fig. 22D. The horizontal alignment film in / 22D can be provided by, for example, one-time vertical alignment "of the entire surface of the anti-substrate 300b, and then optionally with ultraviolet light: a portion of the vertical alignment film 24 in the opening 23a In order to reduce the vertical force, the horizontal azimuth force required by the azimuth structure 28 does not need to be as high as the top tilt produced by the moon. It is the same as that used for the alignment of N-type LCD display devices. 86289 200410026 film For example, a pre-tilt angle of 45 ° or less is sufficient. As shown in FIG. 22C and FIG. 22D, the liquid crystal molecules 30a are excited to be aligned with the substrate on the horizontal female main surface of the opening 23a. The surface is level. Because of the orientation formed by the crystal molecules 30a and μ, the orientations of the nocturnal crystal molecules 30a that hang from the vertical alignment film 24 in the surroundings are continuous, thereby obtaining a radial tilted orientation as shown in the figure. The radial tilt orientation can only be achieved by selectively providing a horizontal orientation surface (eg, an electrode surface or a horizontal alignment film) on the counter electrode 22 plane and not providing a recessed portion (the part on the counter electrode 22 plane) Part is obtained by openings in the dielectric layer D). However, the radial tilt orientation can be made more stable by the surface structure of the concave portion. It is better to use, for example, a color filter layer or a protective layer of the color filter layer as the dielectric layer 23 to form a concave portion near the surface of the anti-substrate 30 讣, which is relatively close to the liquid crystal layer 30, because it does not add any Cambodian to In the process. In the structures shown in FIG. 22c and FIG. 22D, the light efficiency-dot will not decrease, because there is no region k that overburdens 22b to apply a voltage across the entire liquid crystal layer 30, as shown in the structure of FIG. 22A. In the azimuth adjustment structure 28 shown in FIG. 22E, a recessed portion is formed on the side of the opposite substrate 300b closer to the liquid crystal layer 30 using the opening 23a of the dielectric layer 23, as shown in FIG. 22D. The adjustment orientation 28 shown is the same in the structure, and the horizontal alignment film 26 is formed only at the bottom of the concave portion. If the horizontal alignment film 26 'is not formed, the surface of the counter electrode 22 may be exposed as shown in FIG. 22C. The liquid crystal display device 300 having the orientation-adjusting structure as described above is shown in Figs. 23A and 23B. Fig. 23A is a plan view, and Fig. 23B is a sectional view taken along line 23B-23B1 of Fig. 23A. 86289 -56-200410026 The liquid crystal display device 300 includes a TFT substrate 100a, an image element electrode 14 including a unit entity 4a and an open area 15, and an anti-substrate 300b including an adjustment orientation. Structure 28. The structure of the TFT substrate 100a is not limited to the structure described here, but may be any other structure described above. In addition, when a structure (FIG. 22β to FIG. 22D and FIG. 22E) that adjusts the orientation even when no voltage is applied will be used as the orientation adjustment structure 28, as shown in FIG. 22B to FIG. 22D, the orientation adjustment structure 28 It may be replaced with the structure shown in FIG. 22A. Among the adjustment structure 28 provided by the counter substrate 300b of the liquid crystal display device 300, the adjustment structure 28 provided near the center of the area of the unit solid portion 14a of the image element electrode 14 belongs to FIGS. 22B to 22D. One of the structures, and the azimuth adjustment structure 28 provided near the center of the area with respect to the open area 5 of the image element electrode 14 is a structure shown in FIG. 22E. With this type of arrangement, when an applied voltage is applied to the entire liquid crystal layer 30, that is, when the applied voltage is present between the image element electrode 4 and the counter electrode 22, the unit solid portion 14a of the image element electrode 14 The direction of the formed radial tilt azimuth will be the same as the direction of the radial tilt azimuth formed by the adjustment azimuth structure 28, thereby stabilizing the radial tilt azimuth. The schematic diagrams are shown in Figs. 24A to 24C. The system shown in FIG. 24A does not have a voltage applied state, and the system shown in FIG. 24B has a state (initial ON state) when the orientation has just started to change after the voltage is applied; and the system shown in FIG. 24c during the voltage application stable state. As shown in FIG. 24A, even when no applied voltage is present, the orientation adjustment force applied by the structure 86289 < 7, 200410026 (as shown in FIGS. 22B to 22D) 2 8 will still act on the nearby liquid crystal. Above the molecule 30a, a radial tilt can be formed. When the voltage is applied, the electric field represented by the isopotential line EQ shown in FIG. 24B will be generated (the electrode structure of the TFT substrate 100a), and it will In each region corresponding to the open region 15 and each region corresponding to the solid part 4a, a liquid crystal domain in which the liquid crystal molecules 30a exhibit a radially inclined orientation is formed, and the liquid crystal layer 30 will reach a level as shown in FIG. 24C. stable state. The tilting direction of the liquid crystal molecules 30a in each liquid crystal domain is consistent with the tilting direction of the liquid crystal molecules 30a by the adjustment azimuth force applied by the adjustment orientation structure 28 provided in the corresponding region. When stress is applied to the steady-state liquid crystal display device 300, the radial tilt orientation of the liquid crystal layer 30 will collapse once, but after the stress is removed, the radial tilt orientation can be restored. This is because the unit The reason that the azimuth adjustment force of the solid part 14 & azimuth adjustment structure 28 acts on the liquid crystal molecules 30a. Therefore, the afterimage caused by the stress can be avoided. When the azimuth adjusting force from the azimuth adjusting structure 28 is too strong, since the radial tilt azimuth causes a delay even if there is no applied voltage, the display contrast is reduced. However, the adjustment method of the self-adjusting azimuth structure 28 is not only very strong, because it only needs to have the effect of stabilizing the radial tilt azimuth formed by the solid part of the unit and correcting the position of its central axis. Therefore, it is only necessary to have an adjustment azimuth force that does not cause such a degree of delay to deteriorate the display. For example, when the protrusions 22b shown in FIG. 22B are used, the diameter of each protrusion 86289 58 200410026 22b may be about 15 μηι, and the height (thickness) is about} μηι. The upright position can be about 30 ⑽ to about 3 5. In this way, sufficient azimuth force can be obtained and the problem of lowering the contrast caused by the delay of the actual layer can be suppressed. 25A and 25B illustrate another liquid crystal display device 400 including an orientation adjustment structure. The liquid crystal display device 400 does not have an orientation adjustment structure in an area of the open area 15 with respect to the 71A substrate 100a. The formation of the azimuth-adjusting structure 28 shown in FIG. 22E, which should be formed in an area 15 to the open area, increases manufacturing

流程的困難度。因此，為了提升生產力，最好只使用圖22A 至圖22D所示的其中一種調整方位結構28。特別是，較佳使 用圖22B的調整方位結構28，因為它能夠以簡單的流程生產 出來。 即使在對應至開放區1 5的區域中沒有提供調整方位結構 如同在液晶顯TF裝置400中一般，實質上仍可獲得與液晶顯 示裝置300相同的放射狀傾斜方位，如圖26A至圖26c大致 上’、、、員示’並且其應力阻力也在可實施的程度。 具有週整方位結構的液晶顯示裝置的範例如圖27a、圖 27B和圖27C所示。圖da、圖27B和圖27C都是剖面圖，概 略就明具有調整方位結構的液晶顯示裝置500。圖27A所示 的係未存在有施加電壓的狀態；圖27B所示的係在施加電壓 之後’方位剛開始改變時的狀態（初始〇N狀態）；以及圖27c 所不的則係電壓施加期間的穩定狀態。 液晶顯示裝置500在TFT基板200a的開放區】5中包括如圖 86289 -59 -

Therefore, in order to improve productivity, it is better to use only one of the orientation adjustment structures 28 shown in FIGS. 22A to 22D. In particular, the azimuth adjusting structure 28 of Fig. 22B is preferably used because it can be produced in a simple process. Even if the orientation adjustment structure is not provided in the area corresponding to the open area 15 as in the liquid crystal display TF device 400, substantially the same radial tilt orientation as that of the liquid crystal display device 300 can be obtained, as shown in Figs. 26A to 26c. And the stress resistance is also implementable. Examples of the liquid crystal display device having the azimuth structure are shown in Figs. 27a, 27B, and 27C. Figs. Da, 27B, and 27C are cross-sectional views, and a liquid crystal display device 500 having an azimuth adjustment structure is schematically shown. The system shown in FIG. 27A does not have a voltage applied state; the system shown in FIG. 27B has a state immediately after the orientation is changed (initial ON state); and the system shown in FIG. 27c does not have a voltage application period. Steady state. The liquid crystal display device 500 includes a protruding portion 40 as shown in Figs. 86289-59-200410026 16B in the open area of the TFT substrate 200a. The liquid crystal display device 500 further includes a cryout frame 22b shown in FIG. 22B as an azimuth adjustment structure 28 provided near the center of the area of the unit solid portion 14a with respect to the image element electrode 4a. In the liquid crystal display device 500, the radial tilt orientation is stabilized by the adjustment azimuth force applied by the side surface 40s of the protrusion 40 and the adjustment azimuth force applied by the surface of the protrusion 22b. As described above, the azimuth adjustment force exerted by the surface structure of the protruding portion 40 and the protruding portion 2 2 b enables the radial tilted orientation to be stable regardless of whether a voltage is applied. Thus, the liquid crystal display is set to 5 0 0 There will be expected stress resistance. In the case where the protruding portion 22b protruding from the counter electrode 22 to the liquid crystal layer 30 as shown in FIG. 22B is used as the adjustment orientation structure 28, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30 can be defined by the protruding portion 22b. In other words, the protruding portion 22b can serve as a lining for the gap between the control units (thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30). 28A and 28B illustrate a liquid crystal display device 600 having a crying portion 22b also serving as a spacer. Fig. 28A is a plan view seen from the direction of the normal line of the substrate; Fig. 28B is a cross-sectional view taken along line 28B-28B of Fig. 28A. As shown in FIG. 28A and FIG. 28B, in the liquid crystal display device 600, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30 is determined by adjusting the position of the azimuth structure 28 relative to the image element electrode. The area is near the center of the region 14a. The provided protrusions are defined by 2 2 daggers. The advantage of this type of alignment is that there is no need to separately provide a pad to define the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30, and thus the manufacturing process can be simplified. In the illustrative example, the protruding portion 22b has a truncated conical shape including a side surface 22bl as shown in FIG. 28B, where the side surface is less than 90 from the substrate surface of the substrate 21b. Acute angle ㊀ tilted. When the side surface 22M and the substrate surface are less than 90. 86289 -60-200410026 When the angle is inclined, the side surface 22b 1 of the protruding portion 22b has an adjustment azimuth force in the same direction as the adjustment azimuth force applied by the inclined electric field of the liquid crystal molecules 3 0 a for the liquid crystal layer ^ 〇 To stabilize the radial tilt. As schematically illustrated in Figs. 29A to 29C, even with the liquid crystal display device 600 having the laughing portion 22b as a pad, a radial tilt orientation can be obtained as well as the liquid crystal display devices 300 and 400. Although the protruding portion 22b has a side surface 22b 1 inclined at an angle of less than 90 degrees from the substrate surface in the example of Fig. 28B, the protruding portion 22b may additionally have an angle of 90 ° or more from the substrate surface. Angle inclined slope 22M. For the stability of the radial tilting azimuth, it is preferable that the tilting angle of the side surface 22bl does not substantially exceed 9 0 ′. It is better to say that the tilting angle can be less than 9 q. . Even if the tilt angle exceeds 90 °. , As long as the angle is close to 90. (As long as the angle does not substantially exceed 90.), the liquid crystal molecules 30a adjacent to the side surface 22bl of the cry 22b will still be tilted in a direction substantially parallel to the substrate, so the The radial direction of the tilt is uniform, and only slightly twisted. However, if the tilt angle of the side surface 22bl of the protruding Shao 22b is substantially more than 90 as shown in the figure, the side surface 221 of the Shao 22b will have the adjustment orientation applied by the tilted electric field of the liquid crystal molecules 30a for the liquid crystal layer 30 The force is opposite to the normal azimuth force, so the radial tilt orientation may be unstable. The projection 22b also used as a gasket is not limited to a projection having a truncated cone shape, as shown in Figs. 28A and 28B. For example, the protrusion 2 may have a shape as shown in FIG. 31, so that a cross section on a plane perpendicular to the substrate surface will show a part of an ellipse (that is, a part like a sphere like an ellipse) shape). In the protruding portion 22b as shown in FIG. 31, when the inclination angle (tapered angle) of the side 86289 -61-200410026 surface 22bl and the substrate surface changes along the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 30, whether or not along the liquid crystal layer The thickness of 30 and the angle of inclination of the side surface 22b i will be less than 90 °. Therefore, the protruding portion 22b having such a shape can be suitably used as a protruding portion that stabilizes the radial inclined orientation. The protrusions 2 2 b as described above, which are in contact with the upper and lower substrates (TFT substrates and counter substrates) and are also used as a liner to define the thickness of the liquid layer j 0, may be used in the process of manufacturing a liquid crystal display device. It is formed on the upper substrate or the lower substrate. Once the upper and lower substrates are attached to each other, whether it is formed on the upper or lower substrate, the protruding handle 22b will be in contact with the two substrates and used as a lining and orientation adjustment structure. Not all of the protrusions 22b provided in the area opposite to the unit solid portion 14a are used as pads. By forming some protrusions 22b having a height lower than that of other crying out 22b as a pad, the occurrence of light leakage can be suppressed. 32, 33, and 34 illustrate other liquid crystal display devices 600A, 600B, and 600C including an orientation adjustment structure, respectively. Each of the liquid crystal display devices 600A, 600B, and 600C shown in FIG. 32, FIG. 33, and FIG. 34 includes a protrusion 22b as an azimuth adjustment structure in an area of the unit solid portion 14a with respect to the image element electrode 14 . In the liquid crystal display device 600A of FIG. 32, each of the unit body portions 14a located on the storage capacitor line ^ is slightly smaller than the other unit solid portions 14a. In the liquid crystal display device 600B of FIG. 33, each of the unit body portions 14a located on the storage capacitor green 4J is slightly larger than the other unit body portions 1 * a by a point. The plurality of unit solid portions 14a of the image element electrode 14 need not have the same size in the long-term image element region. Because the liquid crystal domains formed in the ^ 6289 -62-2U0410026 unit solid part on the opaque element! 4a make the storage capacitor line 4 any contribution to the display in the transmission type liquid crystal display device, it is not a transmission type / night crystal display device 'therefore It is not necessary to produce a radial tilted orientation of the unit paste on the opaque element, and the shape and / or size of this unit paste may be different from other unit solid parts. In the liquid crystal display device 6⑽c shown in FIG. 34, the portion 14a of each cell Λ on the storage capacitor 7 has a barrel-like shape (having a rectangular shape with a corner like a melon-shaped corner). At the same time, the other unit solid part 14a: has a general star shape. Although the above shows some examples of the unit solid portion 14a located on the storage capacitor line 43, the proportion of the area for display can be increased relative to the total area of the image element area, and by using the area on the opaque element Alignment of the stored electric passenger line 43 as much as possible by the open area 15 improves brightness. The arrangement of the calender plate and the phase plate is called a "vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device" (which includes a liquid crystal layer. When no voltage is applied, the liquid crystal molecules with negative dielectric anisotropy in the liquid crystal layer are vertical. (Alignment) can display images in various display modes. For example, in addition to the birefringence mode (in this wedge type, the birefringence of the liquid crystal layer is controlled by an electric field in order to display an image), the vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device can also be used in an optical rotation mode, or It is used in the combined display mode of optical rotation mode and birefringence mode. By providing a pair of polarizing plates on the outside of the pair of substrates (such as the TFT substrate and the counter substrate) (the side away from the liquid crystal layer 30) of any of the above-mentioned liquid crystal display devices, a birefringent mode can be obtained. Liquid crystal display device. Furthermore, if necessary, 86289 -63-200410026 can be equipped with a phase difference compensator (usually a phase plate). Furthermore, a high-brightness liquid crystal display device can be obtained by general circularly polarized light. According to the present invention, a liquid crystal domain having a radial inclined orientation can be formed stably with high continuity. Therefore, the display quality of a conventional liquid crystal display device having a wide viewing angle characteristic can be further improved. In addition, in each image element area, a plurality of unit solid parts are arranged in a row in the first pre-footing direction, so the area ratio of the body mass in the image element area can be increased, thereby improving the aperture ratio. Furthermore, the second member orientation, which is different from the first predetermined direction aligned with the elementary entity Shao Fen, is that the image elements adjacent to each other in this direction are driven by a voltage opposite to the polarity of each frame. Therefore, it is possible to 'generate a “slope electric field with a steep hill-shaft potential slope” between the image elements connected to each other in the second predetermined direction. Therefore,' even if a short internal electrode distance and a high hole ratio are used, Alignment, it is still possible to form a sufficiently stable radial tilt orientation. As mentioned above, the liquid crystal display device provided by the present invention has wide viewing angle characteristics, high display quality and high aperture ratio, and can produce bright display.
