Currently, a LCD with a display type of vertical alignment has a problem of color shift in a large angle of view. In order to solve the problem of color shift, a low color shift (LCS) is designed for the display type of vertical alignment, but it will reduce the LCD transmittance. In order to solve the problem of reducing LCD transmittance, a single color LCS is further designed for LCD, i.e., the LCS is designed for one color sub-pixel of R sub-pixel, G sub-pixel and B sub-pixel in the LCD.
