  • Patent number: 12222598
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a first liquid crystal display panel in which a first main pixel including subpixels is arranged in a matrix, and that displays a color image, and a second liquid crystal display panel that includes a second main pixel corresponding to a plurality of the first main pixel, and that displays a monochrome image. The second main pixel is divided into a plurality of regions, and has pixel electrodes disposed in the plurality of regions and a plurality of light shields. At least a portion of the plurality of light shields is formed from a switching element that connects to each of the pixel electrodes, and the plurality of light shields is arranged in a staggered manner. The light shields positioned within one set of the regions formed from adjacent regions forms one set of the light shields.

  • Patent number: 12025890
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device includes a first liquid crystal display panel, and a second liquid crystal display panel that overlaps the first liquid crystal display panel. At least one of the first liquid crystal display panel and the second liquid crystal display panel includes a light blocking pattern that is repeatedly arranged and has light blocking properties. The light blocking pattern includes a first light blocking line and a second light blocking line that extend in a predetermined direction. The first light blocking line includes a first incline inclined with respect to the predetermined direction, and a second incline inclined in a direction opposite the first incline with respect to the predetermined direction, and the second light blocking line is adjacent to the first light blocking line and is line-symmetrical, with respect to the predetermined direction, to the first light blocking line.

  • Patent number: 9140941
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device according to the present invention is directed at optimizing the viewing angle characteristics of black luminance in a diagonal direction by realizing a low tilt angle without depending on an oriented film or an orientation treatment method in an FFS mode. The liquid crystal display device of the present invention is a liquid crystal display device in the FFS mode, including: a liquid crystal layer having a negative dielectric anisotropy; a color filter substrate disposed to sandwich the liquid crystal layer; and a TFT substrate having pixels, wherein a CF side common electrode which controls a potential is present in a liquid crystal layer side of the color filter substrate; and there is electric field controlling means which forms an alternating electric field between the CF side common electrode and a TFT side common electrode.

  • Patent number: 7646458
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing an LCD device in which alignment films are formed by a method of printing non-contact alignment films on substrates. Print control patterns are provided between a sealing member and each of display regions. Each of the print control patterns is formed of a highly water-repellent region as well as any one of fine concave structures, fine convex structures and pillar-shaped bodies. The print control patterns control the spreading as liquid of alignment film materials to make the film thickness of each of the alignment film materials uniform.
