  • Patent number: 7728929
    Abstract: A transflective liquid crystal display device includes a first and a second substrates, a liquid crystal layer, and a plurality of reflective electrodes and transparent electrodes. The liquid crystal layer is interposed between the first and the second substrates and functions in an OCB mode. The reflective electrode and the transparent electrode in one picture element are spaced apart from each other to produce a transverse electric field when a voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer.

  • Publication number: 20090103032
    Abstract: An optically compensated bend (OCB) liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is provided. The OCB LCD panel includes an active device array substrate, an opposite substrate, an OCB liquid crystal layer and a first patterned dielectric layer. The opposite substrate is disposed opposite to the active device array substrate, while the OCB liquid crystal layer is disposed between the active device array substrate and the opposite substrate. Besides, the first patterned dielectric layer is disposed on the active device array substrate. It is noted that the first patterned insulator has at least a first concave and at least a first transition surface corresponding thereto, such that an arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules of the OCB liquid crystal layer above the first transition surface is a hybrid state. In the above-mentioned OCB LCD panel, the OCB liquid crystal layer can be transited from a splay state to a bend state rapidly.

  • Publication number: 20080123006
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display (LCD) panel including a first substrate, a second substrate and a liquid crystal layer is provided. The first substrate includes a signal line, an insulating layer and a pixel electrode. The insulating layer is disposed between the signal line and the pixel electrode. The pixel electrode partly overlaps the signal line. The second substrate is parallel to the first substrate. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. When a cross-voltage is applied to the signal line and the pixel electrode, a fringe vertical field having different directions is formed on the peripheral of the partly overlapped area between the signal line and the pixel electrode, such that the liquid crystal layer produces at least one transition nucleus area according to the fringe vertical field.

  • Publication number: 20080094555
    Abstract: Two phase retardation compensation films with upper and lower slow axes being orthogonal to each other are used to clip a liquid crystal (LC) cell in a transflective liquid crystal display. In an orthogonal polarizer system, the axial difference between the slow axes of the retardation films and the LC molecules director in the LC cell is used to obtain the most suitable phase difference. The ON and OFF of the LC voltage are used to achieve the display function at the darkest state and the brightest state, so as to achieve a transmissive optical mode having low dispersion, wide viewing angle, and ultra-low dark state, without damaging the reflective mode.

  • Publication number: 20070058113
    Abstract: A barrier device of a three-dimensional liquid crystal display (3D LCD) device, which aims to the pixels on the color filter, the barrier panel equips plural parallax barriers. Each of the barriers is grille array, and not transparent. There is a transparent area between two parallax barriers. The parallax barriers in the adjacent arrays are formed diagonally, and the width of the transparent area is greater than that of a sub-pixel in order to reduce the number of the parallax barriers, to enhance the luminance of the 3D LCD, and to preserve the resolution of the 2D-display images.

  • Publication number: 20060221278
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a liquid crystal polymer film located under a liquid crystal layer. The liquid crystal film has a retardation substantially equal to that of the liquid crystal layer, a twist angle substantially equal to that of the liquid crystal cell, and a twist aspect opposite to that of the liquid crystal layer. As a result, the liquid crystal display has a high contrast ratio.
