A liquid crystal display panel includes a first base substrate, a wire grid polarizer disposed on the first base substrate, a lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal polarizer disposed on the first base substrate, a second base substrate facing the first base substrate and a liquid crystal layer between the first base substrate and the second base substrate.

Liquid crystal display panel and liquid crystal display device having the same

A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate, a liquid crystal layer and a phase difference compensation film disposed on the first substrate, where the phase difference compensation film includes a fluorine resin.

Liquid crystal display apparatus and method of manufacturing the same

A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate with pixel electrodes, and a second substrate with a common electrode facing the first substrate. The common electrode has depression patterns corresponding to the pixel electrodes. The side wall of each depression pattern is at an angle of 30-120 degrees with respect to the first substrate. The depression patterns of the common electrode are formed through making depression patterns at color filters. In this structure, the liquid crystal display bears wide viewing angle and good picture quality.

Liquid crystal display having wide viewing angle

Saw-shaped protrusions, which are parallel to each other, are formed on the common electrode and the pixel electrode in two substrates. Protrusions in two substrates are arranged alternately and the bent portions of the saw-shaped protrusions are placed on the line transverse passing through the center of a pixel. Branches extend from the convex point of one saw-shaped protrusion toward the apex to the other saw-shaped protrusion, and another branch extend from the point where the protrusion meets the boundary of the pixel electrode toward the point where the boundary of the pixel electrode and the saw-shaped protrusion make an acute angle. A liquid crystal layer between two electrodes are divided to four regions where the directors of the liquid crystal layer have different angles when a voltage is applied to the electrodes, and then, wide viewing angle is obtained. In most regions, protrusions are formed straight and the protrusions have only obtuse angles at the bent points. Therefore, fast response time is shortened, disclination is removed and luminance increases.

Two electrodes parallel to each other are formed on one of two substrates, homeotropic alignment films are formed on the substrates and a liquid crystal material having positive dielectric anisotropy is injected between the substrates. When a voltage is applied to the two electrodes, a parabolic electric field between the electrodes drives the liquid crystal molecules. Since the generated electric field is symmetrical with respect to the boundary-plane equal distance from each of the two electrodes, the liquid crystal molecules are symmetrically aligned with respect to the boundary-plane, and the optical characteristic is compensated in both regions divided by the boundary-plane, thereby obtaining a wide viewing angle. The electric field does not exert influences on the liquid crystal molecules on the boundary-plane since the electric field on the boundary-plane is parallel to the substrates and perpendicular to the two electrodes; and thus, it is perpendicular to the liquid crystal molecules. Here, the polarization of the light is changed while passing through the liquid crystal layer and as a result, only a part of the light passes through the polarizing plate The transmittance of the light can be varied by controlling the magnitude of voltage applied to the two electrodes. The alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules is changed in both regions of a bent portion of the electrodes by forming the electrodes in the saw shape in a pixel or in by pixel, and the retardation of the light is compensated, thereby obtaining a wider viewing angle.

A black matrix and a color filter are formed on a substrate, a indium-tin-oxide (ITO) common electrode are deposited thereon and then protrusion pattern made of sensitive material such as photoresist are formed on the common electrode with 3 to 20 micron width. A vertical alignment layer is coated thereon to complete a color filter substrate. After a thin film transistor (TFT) and a passivation film are formed on the other substrate, ITO is deposited on the passivation film and patterned to form a pixel electrode which contains open areas with 3 to 20 micron width. Then, a vertical alignment layer is coated to complete a TFT substrate. Two substrates are assembled in the manner that the apertures and the protrusion patterns are arranged on shifts and liquid crystal having negative dielectric anisotropy is injected between the substrates. Each Polarizer is attached at the outer surfaces of the LCD substrates. Compensation films may be attached between the polarizer and the substrate.

A liquid crystal display includes a first substrate with pixel electrodes, and a second substrate with a common electrode facing the first substrate. The common electrode has depression patterns corresponding to the pixel electrodes. The side wall of each depression pattern is at an angle of 30-120&#xb0; with respect to the first substrate. The depression patterns of the common electrode are formed through making depression patterns at color filters.

Common electrode on substrate having non-depressed surface portion overlapping opening in pixel electrode on opposite substrate and depressed portion partially overlapping edge of the pixel electrode

In a vertically aligned mode LCD, a gate line and a storage line are formed on a substrate in parallel, and a storage electrode and a cover pattern are formed as branches of the storage line. The storage electrode is overlapped with an aperture of a common electrode formed on an upper substrate. The cover pattern is located between a pixel electrode and a data line to prevent a light leakage. Accordingly, an alignment error margin of the upper substrate and the lower substrate is increased, an aperture ratio is enhanced, and repairing the high pixel defect is possible. Further, the light leakage caused by a voltage of the data line is prevented.
