BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a display device, and in particular, to a display device with low dispersion.

2. Description of the Related Art

A blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) has advantages of having a fast response time, and being free of an alignment layer. Also, the BPLC is optically isotropic. Therefore, the BPLC shows an ideal dark state.

Birefringence dispersion (Δn) of the conventional LC is expressed by using the Cauchy dispersion formula (Formula (1))

$\begin{array}{cc}\Delta n~\frac{3\mathrm{GS}}{2}\frac{{\lambda }^2{\lambda }^{*2}}{{\lambda }^2-{\lambda }^{*2}},& \mathrm{formula}\left(1\right)\end{array}$

wherein G is proportionality constant, S is order parameter and λ* is mean resonance wavelength.

Macroscopically, birefringence dispersion (Δn) of the BPLC is expressed by using the Kerr effect formula (Formula (2))

$\begin{array}{cc}\Delta n~\lambda KE^2,\lambda K~G\frac{{\lambda }^2{\lambda }^{*2}}{{\lambda }^2-{\lambda }^{*2}},& \mathrm{formula}\left(2\right)\end{array}$

wherein E is electric field strength, G is proportionality constant, S is order parameter and λ* is mean resonance wavelength.

Additionally, birefringence dispersion of the BPLC is affected by the local electric field strength. Further, a direction of an applied electric field approximates a direction of an effective optical axis. Therefore, the BPLC has the maximum birefringence when the electric field is vertical to a direction of incident light. For design of sub-pixels having the same structure, operation voltage-transmittance curves (V-T curves) of different sub-pixels show different dispersion degrees. FIG. 1 is an operation voltage-transmittance curve diagram corresponding to a red sub-pixel area (650±30 nm), a green sub-pixel area (550±30 nm) and a blue sub-pixel area (450±30 nm) of the conventional blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) display device, showing a dispersion effect of the conventional BPLC display. As shown in FIG. 1, V-T curves of the different sub-pixel areas of the conventional BPLC display device show bad overlapping degrees (do not match together). Thus, the conventional BPLC display has a serious dispersion problem. Also, the conventional BPLC display has a color shift problem at different viewing-angles.

Thus, a novel BPLC display device with reduced dispersion to improve the color shift problem is desired.

One exemplary embodiment of a display device 200a is a blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) display device designed by the wide viewing-angle in-plane switching (IPS) technology. A second substrate (opposite substrate) and a blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) layer are omitted in the top view of the pixel area 212 of the display device 200a (FIG. 2a) for brevity.

Embodiments of a display device of the invention may change intensity and direction distributions of electric fields produced in the different sub-pixel areas by tuning the cell gaps of the different sub-pixel areas, electrode widths (W) or electrode slits (S) of the interdigitated electrodes of the different sub-pixel areas.

As shown in FIG. 4, red, green and blue sub-pixel areas of the conventional BPLC display device have a fixed electrode slit (S=5 μm), electrode width (W=5 μm) and cell gap (d=3.9 μm). Therefore, the transmittance of the sub-pixel area having a short wavelength may shift toward a direction of a lower voltage. More specifically, the operation voltage-transmittance curves of the red sub-pixel area (400R), green sub-pixel (400G) area and blue sub-pixel area (400B) of the conventional BPLC display device may gradually shift toward a direction of a lower voltage.

That is to say, the red sub-pixel area (410R), green sub-pixel area (410G) and blue sub-pixel area (410B) of a BPLC display device according to one exemplary embodiment may have substantially the same operation voltage (Vop) (e.g. the operation voltage corresponding to the maximum transmittance).

FIG. 5 is an operation voltage-transmittance curve comparison diagram of the conventional BPLC display device and a BPLC display device according to another exemplary embodiment of the invention, showing that the different sub-pixel areas of the BPLC display according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention have different cell gaps. The operation voltage-transmittance curve comparison diagram as shown in FIG. 5 uses the display device 200a as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b to simulate and calculate the relationship between the transmittance and the operation voltage of the BPLC display device. As shown in FIG. 5, red, green and blue sub-pixel areas of the conventional BPLC display device have a fixed electrode slit (S=5 μm), electrode width (W=4 μm) and cell gap (d=3.9 μm). Therefore, the transmittance of the sub-pixel area having a short wavelength may shift toward a direction of a lower voltage. More specifically, the operation voltage-transmittance curves of the red sub-pixel area (500R), green sub-pixel (500G) area and blue sub-pixel area (500B) of the conventional BPLC display device may gradually shift toward a direction of a lower voltage. A ratio of the electrode width to the electrode slit of the first (red) sub-pixel area, the second (green) sub-pixel area and the third (blue) sub-pixel area of a BPLC display device according to another exemplary embodiment of the invention is designed to satisfy Equation (1) and Equation (3)

, wherein d1, d2 and d3 are respectively cell gaps of the first (red) sub-pixel area, the second (green) sub-pixel area and the third (blue) sub-pixel area of a BPLC display device according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention.

Also, the electrode width (W), electrode slit (S) and cell gap (d) of a blue sub-pixel area (510B) of a BPLC display device according to one exemplary embodiment are 5 μm, 4 μm and 2.8 μm, respectively.

That is to say, the red sub-pixel area (510R), green sub-pixel area (510G) and blue sub-pixel area (510B) of a BPLC display device according to another exemplary embodiment may have operation voltage (Vop) (e.g. the operation voltage corresponding to the maximum transmittance) substantially the same as each other. From FIG. 5, it is shown that when the various sub-pixel areas have the electrode widths, which are the same as the electrode slits, and the cell gap decreases by increasing the main wavelength of a light allowed transmitting through the various sub-pixel areas, the Vop has an increasing trend. Also, the maximum transmittance (Tmax) has a decreasing trend. However, the variation of Vop affected by the various cell gaps is more than the variation of Tmax. Therefore, Vop can be fine-tuned by adjusting the cell gap of the sub-pixel area. Also, Tmax is slightly affected by adjusting the cell gap of the sub-pixel area.

FIG. 6 is an operation voltage-transmittance curve comparison diagram of the conventional BPLC display device and a BPLC display device according to yet another exemplary embodiment of the invention. The different sub-pixel areas of the BPLC display according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention have different ratios of electrode width to electrode slit and different cell gaps. The operation voltage-transmittance curve comparison diagram as shown in FIG. 6 uses the display device 200a as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b to simulate and calculate the relationship between the transmittance and the operation voltage of the BPLC display device. As shown in FIG. 6, red, green and blue sub-pixel areas of the conventional BPLC display device have a fixed electrode slit (S=4 μm), electrode width (W=4 μm) and cell gap (d=3.4 μm). Therefore, the transmittance of the sub-pixel area having a short wavelength may shift toward a direction of a lower voltage. More specifically, the operation voltage-transmittance curves of the red sub-pixel area (600R), green sub-pixel (600G) area and blue sub-pixel area (600B) of the conventional BPLC display device may gradually shift toward a direction of a lower voltage. The ratio of the electrode width to the electrode slit and the cell gap (d) of the first (red) sub-pixel area, the second (green) sub-pixel area and the third (blue) sub-pixel area of a BPLC display device according to another exemplary embodiment of the invention are designed to satisfy Equations (1)-(3). Therefore, according to the design satisfying. Equations (1)-(3), the electrode width (W), electrode slit (S) and cell gap (d) of a red sub-pixel area (610R) of a BPLC display device according to one exemplary embodiment are 4 μm, 4 μm and 3.4 μm, respectively. The electrode width (W), electrode slit (S) and cell gap (d) of a green sub-pixel area (610G) of a BPLC display device according to one exemplary embodiment are 4.25 μm, 4 μm and 3.65 μm, respectively. Also, the electrode width (W), electrode slit (S) and cell gap (d) of a blue sub-pixel area (610B) of a BPLC display device according to one exemplary embodiment are 5 μm, 4 μm and 3.9 μm, respectively. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the operation voltage-transmittance curves of the red sub-pixel area (610R), green sub-pixel area (610G) and blue sub-pixel area (610B) of a BPLC display device according to another exemplary embodiment may substantially, fully overlap with each other. That is to say, the red sub-pixel area (610R), green sub-pixel area (610G) and blue sub-pixel area (610B) of a BPLC display device according to another exemplary embodiment may have substantially the same operation voltage (Vop) (e.g. the operation voltage corresponding to the maximum transmittance).

FIG. 7 a is an operation voltage (Vop)-maximum transmittance (Tmax) comparison of blue sub-pixel areas of various exemplary embodiments of a display device of the invention, showing the relationship between the operation voltage (Vop)-maximum transmittance (Tmax) and the various cell gaps, electrode widths or electrode slits of the blue sub-pixel areas of the various display devices. In FIG. 7a, data points of the blue sub-pixel areas of the various display devices with the same ratio of the electrode width to the electrode slit and the different cell gaps (d) may be surrounded by a single circle (a data point with d=3.9 is labeled as a solid circular point, a data point with d=3.4 is labeled as a hollow circular point, and a data point with d=2.4 is labeled as a hollow square point). And the ratio of the electrode width to the electrode slit (S) may be noted close to the circle. Additionally, varied values of the electrode width (W) may be 3 μm, 4 μm and 5 μm. Also, varied values of the electrode slit (S) may be 3 μm, 4 μm and 5 μm. From FIG. 7a, when the cell gap of the blue sub-pixel area is reduced, the corresponding operation voltage (Vop) has an increasing trend, but the maximum transmittance (Tmax) substantially has a decreasing trend. When the electrode slit (S) keeps the same value by increasing the electrode width (W), the corresponding operation voltage (Vop) and the maximum transmittance (Tmax) both have a decreasing trend. Also, the variation of Tmax affected by increasing the electrode widths (W) is more than the variation of Vop. Therefore, Tmax can be fine-tuned by adjusting the electrode width (W) of the sub-pixel area. Also, Vop is slightly affected by adjusting the electrode width (W) of the sub-pixel area. Additionally, when the electrode width (W) keeps the same value after decreasing the electrode slit (S), the corresponding operation voltage (Vop) and the maximum transmittance (Tmax) both have a decreasing trend. Also, the variation of Vop affected by decreasing the electrode slit (S) is more than the variation of Tmax. Therefore, Vop can be fine-tuned by adjusting the electrode slit (S) of the sub-pixel area. Also, Tmax is slightly affected by adjusting the electrode slit (S) of the sub-pixel area.

FIGS. 7 b to 7d are operation voltage (Vop)-maximum transmittance (Tmax) comparisons of BPLC display devices according to various exemplary embodiments of the invention. FIG. 7e is cross sectional view of a sub-pixel area 212 of the BPLC display device 200c as shown in FIGS. 7b to 7d. FIGS. 7b to 7d show the relationship between the operation voltage (Vop)-maximum transmittance (Tmax) after varying the electrode width or electrode slit of the various BPLC display devices while the cell gaps are respectively fixed as 3.9 μm, 3.4 μm and 2.9 μm. In FIGS. 7b to 7d, data points of the blue sub-pixel areas (diamond-shaped point), green sub-pixel areas (square point) and red sub-pixel areas (triangular-shaped point) of the various display devices with the same ratio of the electrode width to the electrode slit (S) may be surrounded by a single circle. And the ratio of the electrode width to the electrode slit (S) may be noted close to the circle. Additionally, varied values of the electrode width (W) may be 3 μm, 4 μm and 5 μm. Also, varied values of the electrode slit (S) may be 3 μm, 4 μm and 5 μm. The trend of the operation voltage (Vop)-maximum transmittance (Tmax) as shown in FIGS. 7b to 7d is substantially similar to the trend of the operation voltage (Vop)-maximum transmittance (Tmax) as shown in FIG. 7a. From FIGS. 7b to 7d, it is shown that when the cell gap of the sub-pixel area is reduced, the corresponding operation voltage (Vop) has an increasing trend. Therefore, the sub-pixel area allowing a light of a shorter main wavelength transmitting therethrough is required to be designed to have a smaller corresponding cell gap (d).

FIG. 8 is an operation voltage (Vop)-maximum transmittance (Tmax) comparison of BPLC display devices according to various exemplary embodiments of the invention, showing the relationship between the operation voltage (Vop)-maximum transmittance (Tmax) and the various cell gaps, electrode widths or electrode slits of sub-pixel areas, which allow light of various main wavelengths transmitting therethrough, of the display devices. FIG. 8 is also a figure showing the combination of FIGS. 7b to 7d. In FIG. 8, data points of the blue sub-pixel areas (diamond-shaped point), green sub-pixel areas (square point) and red sub-pixel areas (triangular-shaped point) of the various display devices with the same ratio of the electrode width to the electrode slit (S) may be surrounded by a single circle. And the ratio of the electrode width to the electrode slit (S) may be noted close to the circle. Also, data points of the blue sub-pixel areas (diamond-shaped point), green sub-pixel areas (square point) or red sub-pixel areas (triangular-shaped point) of the various display devices with different cell gaps (d) may be respectively plotted with the same shape and different frames (a data point with d=3.9 is plotted as a solid-shaped point, a data point with d=3.4 is plotted as a hollow-shaped point, and a data point with d=2.9 is plotted as a point plotted by a dotted line). Additionally, varied values of the electrode width (W) may be 3 μm, 4 μm and 5 μm. Also, varied values of the electrode slit (S) may be 3 μm, 4 μm and 5 μm. Further, varied values of the cell gap (d) may be 3.9 μm, 3.4 μm and 2.9 μm.

From the results of FIGS. 4-6, 7a-7d and 8, it is shown that when the ratio of the electrode width to the electrode slit of the different sub-pixel areas of the BPLC display device are substantially the same as each other, the corresponding maximum transmittance (Tmax) are substantially the same as each other. Additionally, when the cell gap decreases by increasing the main wavelength of a light allowed transmitting through the various sub-pixel areas, the Vop has an increasing trend. Therefore, in one embodiment, the electrode of the sub-pixel area of the BPLC display device may be designed to satisfy Equation (1) and Equation (2). In another embodiment, the electrode of the sub-pixel area of the BPLC display device may be designed to satisfy Equations (1), (2) and (3). Alternatively, the electrode of the sub-pixel area of the BPLC display device may be designed to satisfy Equations (1), (2) and (4), Equations (1), (3) and (4), or Equations (1)-(4).

$\begin{array}{cc}\Delta \left(\frac{W}{S}\right)<0.2,\mathrm{wherein}\Delta \left(\frac{W}{S}\right)& \mathrm{Equation}\left(4\right)\end{array}$

is the difference of ratios of the electrode width to the electrode slit of any two sub-pixel areas of the BPLC display device according to one exemplary embodiment of the invention. Therefore, Equation (4) means that the difference of ratios of the electrode width to the electrode slit of any two sub-pixel areas of the BPLC display device is less than 0.2. That is to say, the data points of the blue sub-pixel area (diamond-shaped point), green sub-pixel area (square point) and red sub-pixel area (triangular-shaped point) of the same display device as shown in FIGS. 7a-7d and 8 are designed as close as possible.

Alternatively, interdigitated electrodes of a blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) display device designed by the wide viewing-angle in-plane switching (IPS) technology may be designed protruding into a portion of the blue phase liquid crystal (BPLC) layer. FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view showing of a sub-pixel area 712 of another exemplary embodiment of a BPLC display device 200d of the invention. Also, a top view of the sub-pixel area 712 may be similar to the sub-pixel area 212 as shown in FIG. 2a and the sub-pixel area 312 as shown in FIG. 3a.

As shown in FIG. 9, electrode strips 720R1 and 720R2 of comb-like electrode portions of a first interdigitated electrode of a first (red) sub-pixel area 712R are alternatively arranged and parallel to each other. The electrode strips 720R1 and the electrode strips 720R2 have a first electrode width W1. Further, the electrode strip 720R1 is disposed close to the electrode strip 720R2, separated from each other by a first electrode slit S1. In one embodiment, each of the electrode strips 720R1 and 720R2 may be constructed by a protrusion 724R and a conductive electrode 726R covering the protrusion 724R as shown in FIG. 9. Alternatively, each of the electrode strips 720R1 and 720R2 may be constructed by the protrusion 724R formed by conductive materials, thereby without requiring the conductive electrode 726R. In one embodiment, a cross section of each of the electrode strips 720R1 and 720R2 may have a semi-circular shape, semi-elliptical shape, or ladder shape.

Moreover, the electrode strips 720R1 and 720R2 have a first electrode height H1. Similarly, electrode strips 720G1 and 720G2 of comb-like electrode portions of a second interdigitated electrode of a second (green) sub-pixel area 712G have a second electrode width W2. Further, the electrode strip 720G1 is disposed close to the electrode strip 720G2, separated from each other by a second electrode slit S2. Moreover, the electrode strips 720G1 and 720G2 have a second electrode height H2.

Further, the electrode strip 720B1 is disposed close to the electrode strip 720B2, separated from each other by a third electrode slit S3. Moreover, the electrode strips 720B1 and 720B2 have a third electrode height H3.

Embodiments of a display device of the invention may change intensity and direction distributions of electric fields produced in the different sub-pixel areas by further tuning the electrode heights (H) of the interdigitated electrodes of the different sub-pixel areas. A voltage-transmittance curve of the sub-pixel area allowing a light of a low main wavelength transmitting therethrough may shift toward a direction of a higher voltage. Therefore, the voltage-transmittance curves of the different sub-pixel areas can fully overlap with each other. The dispersion of the different sub-pixel areas can be reduced. Parameters of the Kerr model used in the first (red) sub-pixel area 712R, the second (green) sub-pixel area 712G and the third (blue) sub-pixel area 712B of a BPLC display device 200c according to another exemplary embodiment of the invention are shown in Table 2, wherein dn_sat is the saturated induced birefringence, K is Kerr constant and Es is the saturation electric field.
