  • Publication number: 20180157074
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display device in vertical alignment and a method for driving the same are disclosed. In the liquid crystal display device, a first horizontal electrode and a second horizontal electrode are added on the basis of a traditional structure. A horizontal electric field can be formed between the first horizontal electrode and the second horizontal electrode, so that negative liquid crystal molecules can rotate along a horizontal direction to a direction of a light transmission axis of a polarizer. A process in which the liquid crystal display device is converted into a dark state from a bright state can be accelerated, and declining time can be effectively shortened. The liquid crystal display device has a high response speed, and a better display effect can be obtained when a dynamic image which moves at a high speed is displayed.

The method includes: a computer generated hologram (CGH) is loaded on a spatial light modulator; a large field angle is formed by changing the optical path through a microlens array or a diffractive optical element having same optical property with the microlens array disposed on a light-emitting surface of pixel structure of the spatial light modulator. Each microlens of the microlens array has one-to-one correspondence with each pixel of the pixel structure of the spatial light modulator. The cost is saved and design of the system structure is simplified while field view of the three-dimensional holographic display is expanded and large size is reappeared. The pixels in the spatial light modulator are fully utilized to avoid loss of resolution, and the display precision is provided to meet the growing demand of people.
