Description
本發明是有關於一種顯示面板,且特別是有關於一種具有配向補償機制的顯示面板。The present invention relates to a display panel, and more particularly to a display panel having an alignment compensation mechanism.
隨著顯示技術的突飛猛進,顯示器已從早期的陰極射線管(Cathode Ray Tube,CRT)顯示器逐漸地發展到近期的平面顯示器(Flat Panel Display,FPD)。然而,隨著具有弧形外觀的電器產品的普及化,平面顯示面板因為難以撓曲而不適用於應用在此類電器產品中。因此,近年來業者紛紛著手研究曲面顯示面板(curved display panel),以提供此類電器產品顯示的功能。With the rapid advancement of display technology, displays have evolved from early cathode ray tube (CRT) displays to the recent Flat Panel Display (FPD). However, with the popularization of electrical products having a curved appearance, flat display panels are not suitable for use in such electrical products because they are difficult to flex. Therefore, in recent years, operators have begun to study curved display panels to provide the functions of such electrical products.
請參考第1A圖至第1D圖,第1A圖至第1D圖係繪示習知製作曲面顯示面板的方法示意圖,其中第1A圖繪示平面顯示面板的示意圖,第1B為沿第1A圖的A-A’剖線繪示的平面顯示面板的剖視圖,第1C圖繪示曲面顯示面板的示意圖,且第1D圖為沿第1C圖的B-B’剖線繪示的曲面顯示面板的剖視圖。如第1A圖與1B圖所示,首先,提供平面顯示面板1,其包括陣列基板(主動元件陣列基板)2、對向基板(彩色濾光基板)3,以及配置於陣列基板2與對向基板3之間的液晶分子LC。對向基板3上配置有圖案化遮光層(例如黑色矩陣)BM,用以遮蔽陣列基板2上配置有不透光元件的區域(例如訊號線與開關元件)以及訊號線邊緣可能存在漏光問題的區域(以下統稱為遮蔽區NT)。如第1C圖與第1D圖所示,接著將平面顯示面板1彎曲以形成曲面顯示面板1’。Please refer to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D . FIG. 1A to FIG. 1D are schematic diagrams showing a conventional method for fabricating a curved display panel. FIG. 1A is a schematic diagram of a flat display panel, and FIG. 1B is a diagram along FIG. 1A. A-A' is a cross-sectional view of a flat display panel, and FIG. 1C is a schematic view of a curved display panel, and FIG. 1D is a cross-sectional view of the curved display panel taken along line BB' of FIG. 1C. . As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, first, a flat display panel 1 including an array substrate (active device array substrate) 2, an opposite substrate (color filter substrate) 3, and an array substrate 2 and an alignment are provided. Liquid crystal molecules LC between the substrates 3. A patterned light shielding layer (for example, a black matrix) BM is disposed on the opposite substrate 3 for shielding an area (for example, a signal line and a switching element) on the array substrate 2 where the opaque element is disposed, and a light leakage problem may occur at the edge of the signal line. Area (hereinafter collectively referred to as the mask area NT). As shown in Figs. 1C and 1D, the flat display panel 1 is then bent to form a curved display panel 1'.
然而,由於設置在對向基板3上的圖案化遮光層BM與設置在陣列基板2上的遮蔽區NT會因為曲面顯示面板1’的彎曲而產生相對位移,因此圖案化遮光層BM無法完全遮蔽被遮蔽區NT並遮蔽掉部分的穿透區,而產生漏光(如第1D圖之箭號所示)。此外,圖案化遮光層BM與陣列基板2的相對位移也會使得不同區域的次畫素的配向配置不一致,而使得在不同視角觀看時產生色差問題,影響曲面顯示面板的顯示效果。However, since the patterned light shielding layer BM disposed on the opposite substrate 3 and the shielding region NT disposed on the array substrate 2 are relatively displaced due to the curvature of the curved display panel 1', the patterned light shielding layer BM cannot be completely shielded. The masked area NT is shielded from a portion of the penetration area to cause light leakage (as indicated by the arrow of Figure 1D). In addition, the relative displacement of the patterned light-shielding layer BM and the array substrate 2 also makes the alignment configuration of the sub-pixels of different regions inconsistent, so that the chromatic aberration problem occurs when viewed from different viewing angles, which affects the display effect of the curved display panel.

各第一次畫素SP1包括第一配向區A1、第二配向區A2、第三配向區A3以及第四配向區A4,沿第一方向L1依序排列。舉例而言,本實施例的第一方向L1為圖式中的橫向,而第一配向區A1、第二配向區A2、第三配向區A3以及第四配向區A4係沿第一方向L1由左而右依序排列,但不以此為限。在變化實施例中,第一方向L1也可為圖式中的縱向。第一配向區A1對應之液晶分子LC與第三配向區A3對應之液晶分子LC具有相同配向,第二配向區A2對應之液晶分子LC與第四配向區A4對應之液晶分子LC具有相同配向,且第一配向區A1對應之液晶分子LC與第二配向區A2對應之液晶分子LC具有不同配向。舉例而言,本實施例的第一配向區A1、第二配向區A2、第三配向區A3與第四配向區A4所對應的液晶分子LC分別僅具有單一個配向方向,例如第一配向區A1與第三配向區A3所對應的液晶分子LC均沿方向D1配向,且第二配向區A2與第四配向區A4所對應的液晶分子LC均沿方向D2配向,其中方向D1不同於方向D2,例如方向D1與方向D2可彼此實質上垂直,且分別與第一方向L1具有45度夾角,但不以此為限。在本實施例中,第一配向區A1與第四配向區A4實質上具有相同面積,且第二配向區A2與第三配向區A3實質上具有相同面積。例如,第一配向區A1、第二配向區A2、第三配向區A3與第四配向區A4實質上具有相同面積,且第一配向區A1、第二配向區A2、第三配向區A3與第四配向區A4的形狀可為任何形狀,例如矩形,但不以此為限。此外,圖案化遮光層BM具有複數個第一開口H1,分別對應於第一次畫素SP1。精確而言,圖案化遮光層BM遮蔽第一次畫素SP1的第一配向區A1與第四配向區A4,且第一開口H1暴露出第一次畫素SP1之第二配向區A2與第三配向區A3。Each of the first pixels SP1 includes a first alignment area A1, a second alignment area A2, a third alignment area A3, and a fourth alignment area A4, which are sequentially arranged along the first direction L1. For example, the first direction L1 of the embodiment is a lateral direction in the drawing, and the first alignment area A1, the second alignment area A2, the third alignment area A3, and the fourth alignment area A4 are along the first direction L1. The left and right are arranged in order, but not limited to this. In a variant embodiment, the first direction L1 can also be the longitudinal direction in the drawing.

For example, the liquid crystal molecules LC corresponding to the first alignment region A1, the second alignment region A2, the third alignment region A3, and the fourth alignment region A4 of the embodiment respectively have only one alignment direction, for example, the first alignment region. The liquid crystal molecules LC corresponding to the A1 and the third alignment regions A3 are aligned in the direction D1, and the liquid crystal molecules LC corresponding to the second alignment region A2 and the fourth alignment region A4 are aligned in the direction D2, wherein the direction D1 is different from the direction D2.

值得說明的是,上述設計可以避免對向基板30上的圖案化遮光層BM與陣列基板10上的畫素陣列PA因為對位誤差、彎曲、撓折或其它因素造成相對位移時所產生的顯示品質不佳的問題。進一步說明,當顯示面板100作平面顯示面板的應用時,可能會因為對位誤差或其它因素造成圖案化遮光層BM與畫素陣列PA產生相對位移,此時上述圖案化遮光層BM的開口與的次畫素的配向區之間的配置可以提供補償效果而使得所有位置的次畫素的液晶分子LC可以提供一致的多區域配向以維持最佳的顯示效果。或者,當顯示面板100作曲面顯示面板或可撓式顯示面板的應用時,可能會因為彎曲或應力因素而造成圖案化遮光層BM與畫素陣列PA產生相對位移,此時上述圖案化遮光層BM的開口與的次畫素的配向區之間的配置可以提供補償效果而使得所有位置的次畫素的液晶分子LC可以提供一致的多區域配向而維持最佳的顯示效果。It should be noted that the above design can avoid the display generated when the patterned light shielding layer BM on the opposite substrate 30 and the pixel array PA on the array substrate 10 are relatively displaced due to alignment errors, bending, flexing or other factors. The problem of poor quality. It is further explained that when the display panel 100 is used as a flat display panel, the patterned light shielding layer BM and the pixel array PA may be relatively displaced due to alignment errors or other factors, and the opening of the patterned light shielding layer BM is The configuration between the alignment regions of the sub-pixels can provide a compensating effect such that the liquid crystal molecules LC of the sub-pixels at all positions can provide consistent multi-region alignment to maintain an optimal display effect. Alternatively, when the display panel 100 is used as a curved display panel or a flexible display panel, the patterned light shielding layer BM may be displaced relative to the pixel array PA due to bending or stress factors, and the patterned light shielding layer may be formed at this time. The configuration between the opening of the BM and the alignment region of the sub-pixels can provide a compensating effect such that the liquid crystal molecules LC of the sub-pixels of all positions can provide uniform multi-region alignment to maintain an optimal display effect.

本變化實施例之第一次畫素SP1與第一實施例之第一次畫素SP1具有相同的配向配置,亦即均具有第一配向區A1、第二配向區A2、第三配向區A3與第四配向區A4,在此不再贅述。此外,本變化實施例之第二次畫素SP2、第三次畫素SP3與第一次畫素SP1具有相同的配向配置。由於顯示面板100’為曲面顯示面板,其係以曲率中心軸C為中心向對向基板30的方向彎曲,因此對向基板30與陣列基板10在受到不同的應力會產生不同程度的形變,而使得在第一方向L1上不同區域的不同次畫素與圖案化遮光層BM的開口具有不同的相對關係。進一步說明,在本變化實施例中,由於第一次畫素SP1係位於靠近中心軸X的第一區域P1,因此第一次畫素SP1與圖案化遮光層BM的第一開口H1之間的對應關係與第一實施例實質上相同,亦即圖案化遮光層BM會遮蔽第一次畫素SP1的第一配向區A1與第四配向區A4,且第一開口H1會暴露出各第一次畫素SP1之第二配向區A2與第三配向區A3。由於第二次畫素SP2係位於第一次畫素SP1左方的第二區域P2,在顯示面板100’以曲率中心軸C為中心朝向對向基板30的方向彎曲的情況下,對向基板30的形變會小於陣列基板10的形變,因此圖案化遮光層BM會遮蔽第二次畫素SP2的第一配向區A1、一部分之第二配向區A2以及一部分之第四配向區A4,且圖案化遮蔽層BM的第二開口H2會暴露出另一部分之第二配向區A2、第三配向區A3以及另一部分之第四配向區A4,其中被圖案化遮光層BM遮蔽的第二次畫素SP2的一部分之第二配向區A2的面積與圖案化遮光層BM的第二開口H2所暴露出的另一部分之第四配向區A4的面積實質上相等。也就是說,各第二次畫素SP2被暴露出的一部分的第二配向區A2、第三配向區A3以及一部分的第四配向區A4的液晶分子LC的配向會與各第一次畫素SP1被暴露出的第二配向區A2與第三配向區A3的液晶分子LC的配向實質相等。The first pixel SP1 of the modified embodiment has the same alignment configuration as the first pixel SP1 of the first embodiment, that is, both have the first alignment area A1, the second alignment area A2, and the third alignment area A3. And the fourth alignment area A4, which will not be described here. Further, the second pixel SP2 and the third pixel SP3 of the modified embodiment have the same alignment configuration as the first pixel SP1. Since the display panel 100 ′ is a curved display panel which is curved in the direction of the opposite substrate 30 centering on the central axis C of the curvature, the opposite substrate 30 and the array substrate 10 are subjected to different stresses to be deformed to different degrees, and The different sub-pixels of the different regions in the first direction L1 have different relative relationships with the openings of the patterned light-shielding layer BM. Further, in the present variation, since the first pixel SP1 is located in the first region P1 near the central axis X, the first pixel SP1 and the first opening H1 of the patterned light shielding layer BM are The corresponding relationship is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, that is, the patterned light shielding layer BM shields the first alignment area A1 and the fourth alignment area A4 of the first pixel SP1, and the first opening H1 exposes each first The second alignment area A2 of the sub-pixel SP1 and the third alignment area A3. Since the second pixel SP2 is located in the second region P2 on the left side of the first pixel SP1, in the case where the display panel 100' is curved toward the opposite substrate 30 with the center axis of curvature C as the center, the opposite substrate The deformation of 30 may be smaller than the deformation of the array substrate 10, so the patterned light shielding layer BM shields the first alignment area A1 of the second pixel SP2, a portion of the second alignment area A2, and a portion of the fourth alignment area A4, and the pattern The second opening H2 of the shielding layer BM exposes another portion of the second alignment area A2, the third alignment area A3, and another portion of the fourth alignment area A4, wherein the second pixel masked by the patterned light shielding layer BM The area of the second alignment area A2 of a portion of the SP2 is substantially equal to the area of the fourth alignment area A4 of the other portion exposed by the second opening H2 of the patterned light shielding layer BM. That is, the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules LC of the second alignment region A2, the third alignment region A3, and a portion of the fourth alignment region A4 of each of the second pixel SP2 is exposed to each of the first pixels. The alignment of the second alignment region A2 exposed by SP1 is substantially equal to the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules LC of the third alignment region A3.
此外,由於第三次畫素SP3係位於第一次畫素SP1右方的第三區域P3,在顯示面板100’以曲率中心軸C為中心向對向基板30的方向彎曲的情況下,對向基板30的形變會小於陣列基板10的形變,因此圖案化遮光層BM會遮蔽第三次畫素SP3的第四配向區A4、一部分之第一配向區A1以及一部分之第三配向區A3,且圖案化遮蔽層BM的第三開口H3會暴露出第三次畫素SP3之另一部分之第一配向區A1、第二配向區A2以及另一部分之第三配向區A3,其中被圖案化遮光層BM遮蔽的第三次畫素SP3的一部分之第三配向區A3的面積與圖案化遮光層BM的第三開口H3所暴露出的另一部分之第一配向區A1的面積實質上相等。也就是說,各第三次畫素SP3被暴露出的一部分之第一配向區A1、第二配向區A2以及一部分之第三配向區A3的液晶分子LC的配向會與各第一次畫素SP1被暴露出的第二配向區A2與第三配向區A3的液晶分子LC的配向實質相等。Further, since the third pixel SP3 is located in the third region P3 on the right side of the first pixel SP1, in the case where the display panel 100' is curved in the direction of the opposite substrate 30 around the central axis of curvature C, The deformation to the substrate 30 may be smaller than the deformation of the array substrate 10, so the patterned light shielding layer BM shields the fourth alignment area A4 of the third pixel SP3, a portion of the first alignment area A1, and a portion of the third alignment area A3, And the third opening H3 of the patterned shielding layer BM exposes the first alignment area A1 of the other portion of the third pixel SP3, the second alignment area A2, and the third alignment area A3 of the other part, wherein the patterned shading is performed. The area of the third alignment area A3 of a portion of the third pixel SP3 masked by the layer BM is substantially equal to the area of the first alignment area A1 of the other portion exposed by the third opening H3 of the patterned light shielding layer BM. That is, the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules LC of the first alignment region A1, the second alignment region A2, and a portion of the third alignment region A3 of each of the exposed third-order pixels SP3 is associated with each first pixel. The alignment of the second alignment region A2 exposed by SP1 is substantially equal to the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules LC of the third alignment region A3.

In addition, the display panel of the present invention is a multi-zone alignment display panel, that is, each pixel has a plurality of alignment regions, wherein the number, shape, and configuration of the alignment regions are changed according to requirements, and are not limited to the above embodiments. In addition, the multi-zone alignment effect can be achieved using any suitable multi-region alignment technique, such as multi-region vertical alignment technology, planar electric field switching technology, edge electric field switching technology, polymer stable alignment technology, or any other that can generate sub-pixels. The technology of a different alignment zone is achieved. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
