Patent number: 9900588Abstract: A display panel includes sub-pixel pairs arranged laterally at a predetermined pitch, the sub-pixel pair including two sub pixels displaying images for right and left eyes respectively. A parallax-barrier shutter panel includes sub apertures switching light-transmitting and light-blocking states by driving a liquid crystal layer held between two transparent substrates with transparent electrodes extending vertically. The sub apertures are arranged laterally at a pitch obtained by dividing a reference parallax-barrier pitch by N (N being an even number equal to or greater than four), the reference parallax-barrier pitch being determined on the basis of a predetermined design observation distance and the pitch of the sub-pixel pairs. The parallax-barrier shutter panel includes common driving areas obtained by dividing a display area laterally.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2014Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Akimasa Yuuki, Tetsuya Satake, Yasunori Niwano, Toshiaki Fujino, Shuichi Kira, Kazunori Okumoto, Shingo Nagano, Yoshimitsu Ishikawa, Kazuhiro Ishiguchi

Patent number: 9869869Abstract: Each pixel of a multiple view liquid crystal display in a normally black mode includes a counter electrode provided with a slit for generating a fringe electric field. An alignment film subjected to liquid crystal alignment processing in a predetermined direction is disposed on a surface of a TFT substrate provided with the counter electrode. An angle formed by an extending direction of a slit at an end of a pixel region (a first region) and a direction of the liquid crystal alignment processing is greater than an angle formed by the extending direction of the slit in a central part of the pixel region (a second region) and the direction of the liquid crystal alignment processing. The first region has a higher transmittance than that in the second region when low luminance display is carried out.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2014Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Mitsubishi Electronic CorporationInventors: Shingo Nagano, Yoshimitsu Ishikawa, Tetsuya Satake

Patent number: 9507216Abstract: Only a first pixel electrode exists just under a first light shielding part of a black matrix, a gate insulating film and an interlayer insulating film exist on the upper layer of the first pixel electrode, and this area is an end area. Just under an opening of the black matrix, a second pixel electrode exists on the uppermost layer of a TFT substrate. The second pixel electrode is formed on the gate insulating film and the interlayer insulating film except a contact part. An area where the second pixel electrode exists on the uppermost layer of the TFT substrate is a main area. By a combination structure of the first pixel electrode and the second pixel electrode, the transmittance of the liquid crystal layer in the end area is made relatively higher than the transmittance in the main area.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yoshimitsu Ishikawa, Shingo Nagano

Patent number: 9412312Abstract: A one-pixel structure of a display panel included in an auto-stereoscopic image display device adopts an in-plane switching mode. Transparent counter electrodes that are not provided in a liquid crystal panel of a normal in-plane switching mode are formed correspondingly to pixel peripheral regions on a second transparent substrate side and, in 3-dimensional image display, a vertical electric field is forcibly generated between the transparent counter electrodes and the comb-shaped electrodes, which causes the liquid crystal molecules to rise to show black display in the pixel peripheral regions. In 2-dimensional image display, meanwhile, the transparent counter electrodes are set to be floating, and the display panel is caused to have a structure substantially equivalent to a structure in which the transparent counter electrodes are not provided, to thereby make the display in pixel peripheral regions identical to the display (brightness) in a pixel main region.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2016Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Toshiaki Fujino, Yasunori Niwano, Syuichi Kira, Shingo Nagano, Akimasa Yuuki
