Abstract:
This liquid crystal display device (100) includes: a vertical alignment liquid crystal layer (30); first and second substrates (10, 20); first and second electrodes (11, 21) arranged on the first and second substrates to face the liquid crystal layer; and two photo-alignment films (12, 22). Each pixel region includes first and second liquid crystal domains, of which the reference alignment directions defined by the two photo-alignment films are a first direction and a second direction different from the first direction, respectively. The first electrode has a slit cut region (11R1), through which a slit (11s) has been cut to run substantially parallel to the reference alignment direction, in a part of a region allocated to each of the first and second liquid crystal domains. The width (W) of the slit is set so that when the highest grayscale voltage is applied to the first electrode, an effective applied voltage decreases by at least 0.5 V and the alignment direction of liquid crystal molecules (30a) shifts with respect to the reference alignment direction by less than 45 degrees.

Abstract:
An image display device includes a display element having a unit of display comprising sub pixels displaying images for first and second view points, and an optical unit that distributes light emitted from respective sub pixels into different first directions. When a region surrounded a black matrix in the sub pixel is defined as an aperture, the sub pixels form a base unit that is an adjoining pixel pair including two sub pixels arranged with a data line therebetween. When virtual lines evenly dividing a width of the sub pixel in the first direction into K+1 pieces are presumed, K number of storage capacitor lines are arranged across at least one virtual line in the aperture. In the adjoining pixel pair, the K number of storage capacitor lines of one sub pixel are nonparallel to the K number of storage capacitor lines of the other sub pixel.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal panel and the array substrate thereof are disclosed. Each pixel cells of the liquid crystal panel includes one pixel electrode having a plurality of strip-like gaps and a plurality of strip-like first electrode patterns interleaved with each other. For all of the pixel cells, a sum of the dimension of the first electrode patterns of the pixel cell is gradually decreased along a direction from a central area toward two lateral areas of the liquid crystal panel. In this way, the brightness of the liquid crystal panel is uniform and the “two pale lateral areas” issue may be eased or eliminated.
Abstract:
The present application provides a display substrate and a display device. The display substrate includes a display region and a non-display region, a surface layer of the display region being rubbed to form an alignment layer, the non-display region being provided with a test electrode, the test electrode including multiple strip-shaped first sub-electrodes, the extending direction of the first sub-electrodes being the same with the direction of the rubbing for forming the alignment layer. By dividing the test electrode into multiple strip-shaped first sub-electrodes and the extending direction of the first sub-electrodes (i.e., the length direction) being the same as the rubbing direction of the rubbing to form an alignment layer, the display substrate can make the alignment of the alignment layer formed by the rubbing consistent and uniform, thereby avoiding the occurrence of Rubbing Mura when the alignment layer is formed by the rubbing.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a touch panel, a method for producing the same and a display apparatus. The touch panel includes: a first substrate, a second substrate opposed to the first substrate, a display medium layer between the first substrate and the second substrate, a black matrix arranged on one of the first substrate and the second substrate, a plurality of driving electrode units and a plurality of inductive electrode units arranged alternatively on the other one of the first substrate and the second substrate, and each of the plurality of driving electrode units or the plurality of inductive electrode units includes a plurality of transparent electrodes and projections of boundaries of the transparent electrodes onto the substrate having the black matrix are covered by the black matrix or coincide with the range of the black matrix. They may efficiently reduce adverse effects of the change in the coupling capacitor among the rhombic ITO touch electrodes on the display quality of the LCD screen.
Abstract:
In a liquid crystal display device, an upper electrode and a drain electrode are reliably connected to each other electrically, with preventing or suppressing an occurrence of an aperture ratio loss, or sufficiently reducing a parasitic capacitance between the scanning line and the lower electrode. An interlayer resin film is formed on a drain electrode, with a hole being formed on the interlayer resin film, and on the drain electrode exposed to a bottom portion of the hole, an island-shaped electrode is formed separately from a lower electrode. Moreover, on the island-shaped electrode, an inter-electrode insulating film is formed, a contact hole is formed in the inter-electrode insulating film, and an upper electrode is formed on the island-shaped electrode exposed to a bottom portion of the contact hole.

Abstract:
A phase shifter and a method of making a phase shifter are disclosed herein. The phase shifter may include a housing, a dielectric, an electrode, and a liquid crystal layer. The housing includes first, second, third, and fourth conductive walls, each conductive wall being opposite one of the other walls. The dielectric is situated within the housing and defines a compartment within the housing. The electrode is aligned with the compartment. The liquid crystal layer fills the space of the compartment. A bias line is coupled to the electrode. The phase shifter may be integrated with as substrate integrated waveguide.
