Abstract: A color filter on array mode liquid crystal display (100) includes a first substrate (110) and a second substrate (120) disposed opposite each other and spaced apart a predetermined distance, and a liquid crystal layer (130) interposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. A thin film transistor array (111), a color filter layer (112), and a plurality of pixel electrodes (114) are formed on the first substrate. A common electrode (124) is formed on the second substrate. A first polarizer (142) and a second polarizer (144) are positioned at the first substrate and the second substrate, respectively. The first polarizer is an extraordinary type polarizer. Therefore a good contrast ratio over wide viewing angles is achieved. In addition, the polarizers are made of a modified organic dye material which exists in a liquid-crystalline phase. Therefore the liquid crystal display can be applied in high temperature environments.

Abstract: A reflective type IPS LCD includes a transparent upper substrate (100) and a lower substrate (200), and liquid crystal molecules (300) interposed between the substrates. A reflection layer (250) is disposed on the lower substrate. A plurality of gate lines (170) and a plurality of data lines (180) are formed on the upper substrate, thereby defining a plurality of pixel regions arranged in a matrix. Each pixel region includes pixel electrodes (210) and common electrodes (220). The pixel electrodes and the common electrodes have a bent configuration, and are spaced apart from each other. Therefore the electric field generated by them is along two directions, and the LCD exhibits a two-domain display effect. When viewing the LCD display from any oblique angle, the color shifts generated by the two domains counteract, and thus the overall color shift of the display is small.

Abstract: An in plane switching liquid crystal display (2) includes a first substrate (27), a second substrate (37) and a liquid crystal layer (23) having a plurality of liquid crystal molecules. A number of pixel electrodes (25) and common electrodes (24) are formed on the first substrate, and each of the pixel electrodes and common electrodes include at least two bend portions (241, 242, 243). Each bend portion has a first side and a second side. An original alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules form at least two different angles with the sides of the bend portions of the common and pixel electrodes. When a voltage is applied to the pixel electrodes and the common electrodes, the liquid crystal molecules are aligned along at least three different directions. Therefore, the IPS-LCD can have uniform viewing performance at different viewing angles.

Abstract: An IPS liquid crystal display (200) of a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a first substrate (201), a second substrate (202), and liquid crystal molecules interposed therebetween. A plurality of gate lines (211) and data lines (212) are formed at the first substrate, thereby defining a plurality of pixel regions. A pixel electrode (233), a common electrode (243) and a TFT (220) are provided in each pixel region, the pixel electrode and the common electrode having a same curved shape. Because the pixel and common electrodes of have a same curved shape with smooth bends, when a voltage is applied, disclination of the liquid crystal molecules does not occur, and the contrast ratio of the IPS LCD is unimpaired. Furthermore, the electric field generated by them is a smooth continuum of multiple domains, and the IPS LCD provides equally fine visual performance at various different viewing angles.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display (2) has a first substrate (21), a second substrate (22), and liquid crystal molecules (26) interposed between the substrates. Curved first slits (211) and curved second slits (221) are defined at insides of the substrates respectively. When an electric field is applied between the substrates, the liquid crystal molecules are inclined to be oriented parallel to the substrates. In addition, the curved first slits and the curved second slits affect the orientations of the liquid crystal molecules, such that the liquid crystal molecules are directed to incline in various directions in smooth continuums. The visual effect of the continuous domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display is the sum of multiple smooth continuous domains. Thus the continuous domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display provides a more even display performance at various different viewing angles.

Therefore the electric field generated by them is a smooth continuum of multiple domains, and the visual performance at various different viewing angles is equally good. Because the pixel and common electrodes do not have sharp bends, disclination is avoided. Therefore the IPS liquid crystal display has a high contrast ratio.

Abstract: A continuous domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display (2) has a first substrate (21), a second substrate (22), and liquid crystal molecules (26) interposed between the substrates. A plurality of curved first protrusions (211) and a plurality of curved second protrusions (221) are disposed at insides of the substrates respectively. When an electric field is applied between the substrates, the liquid crystal molecules tend to be oriented parallel to the substrates. In addition, the curved protrusions affect the orientations of the liquid crystal molecules, such that the liquid crystal molecules are directed to incline in various directions in smooth continuums. The visual effect of the continuous domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display is the sum of multiple smooth continuous domains. Thus the continuous domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display provides a more even display performance at various different viewing angles.
