Patent number: 10048547Abstract: The disclosure provides a display device. The pixel electrode of the display device includes a first pixel electrode and a second pixel electrode having the same electric potential. The first interlayer is formed between the first substrate and the first pixel electrode. Adjacent two of the first strip-shaped branches of the first interlayer form a first gap to expose part of the first substrate. The common electrode layer is disposed over the second substrate. The pixel electrode is positioned between the first substrate and the display medium layer. The first pixel electrode extends to cover the first gap. A difference between a maximum distance between the first pixel electrode and the common electrode layer and a maximum distance between the second pixel electrode and the common electrode layer is 0.1 ?m to 0.4 ?m.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2016Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Innolux CorporationInventors: Yu-Sheng Ho, Hsueh-Wen Li, Mao-Shiang Lin, Ying-Jen Chen

Patent number: 10042217Abstract: A liquid-crystal display includes a first substrate including several sub-pixels. A micro-structure layer is formed on the first substrate, and the micro-structure layer corresponding to one of the sub-pixels includes a first main trunk portion, a second main trunk portion crossed the first main trunk portion, and several striped branch portions. The striped branch portions are connected with the first and second main trunk portions, wherein an angle is formed between the striped branch portions and the first main trunk portion, and the striped branch portions are alternately arranged with a pitch. A first electrode layer is conformally formed on the micro-structure layer. Specifically, the pitch in one of the sub-pixels is different from the pitch in another one of the sub-pixels, or the angle in one of the sub-pixels is different from the angle in another one of the sub-pixels.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: INNOLUX CORPORATIONInventors: Hsueh-Wen Li, Mao-Shiang Lin, Yu-Sheng Ho, Ying-Jen Chen
