Furthermore, referring to
Furthermore, the display panel 100 comprises a plurality of pixel areas. One pixel area refers to one unit capable of congruously controlling the brightness. Each pixel area comprises a plurality of pixels. Therefore, the reflected light in the pixel area is provided by at least one reflective unit. In other words, by using the reflective unit to control the reflected light of various pixel areas, for example, as the pixels i the pixel area corresponded with the reflective unit is off, the driving unit 12 can drive the reflective sheet to rotate to reflect the light in the pixel area to the adjacent pixel area which the pixel is on. Thereby, it does not raise the output coefficient of the light energy but the power consumption of the display panel is also reduced. Moreover, the dynamic contrast of the pixel area is raised to promote the display effect.
Furthermore, the display panel 100 further comprises common electrode lines (not shown) and a plurality of data lines (not shown) and data lines which are intersect with one another, a thin film transistor. The gate means the whole of the gate electrodes and the gate layouts (also called gate line, gate signal line, scan line, scan signal line) or a portion of these. The gate electrode means the part of conductive film which sandwiches the gate isolation film and overlaps with the semiconductor forming the channel area. Besides, a part of the gate electrode sometimes sandwiches the stacking gate isolation film and LDD (Lightly Doped Drain) area or source area (or drain area) inbetween. The gate layout means the wire arrangement employed for connecting the gate electrodes of respective transistors, the wire arrangement employed for connecting the gate electrodes of respective pixels, or the wire arrangement employed for connecting the gate electrodes or other wires.
Besides, the part (area, conductive film, wire) formed with the same material of the gate electrode and formed to be the same island connected with the gate electrode also belongs to the gate electrode. Similarly, the part (area, conductive film, wire) formed with the same material of the gate layout and formed to be the same island connected with the gate layout also belongs to the gate layout. Strictly speaking, sometimes, these parts (area, conductive film, wire) do not overlap with the channel area, or do not have function of connecting other gate electrodes. However, according to the manufacture condition, there are the parts (area, conductive film, wire) formed with the same material of the gate electrode or the gate layout and formed to be the same island connected with the gate electrode or the gate layout. Therefore, such parts (area, conductive film, wire) also belong to the gate electrode or the gate layout.
The gate of the thin film transistor is coupled to the gate line, and the source is coupled to the data line. The input end of the driving unit 12 is coupled to the drain of the thin film transistor, and the output end is coupled to the common electrode line. By providing the driving signal to the driving unit 11 through the thin film transistor, the display contents of the respective pixel areas can be independently controlled.
Furthermore, the color filter 7 is employed to achieve the colorization of the image after the light emitted from the backlight module passes through the color filter 7. The color filter 7 comprises a RGB color film layer (i.e. red color film, green color film and blue color film) (not shown).
Preferably, the reflective sheet 10 is a reflective sheet having high reflectivity, and employed to raise the face brightness of the display panel 100 in a certain light source output. The reflective sheet 10 is a white reflective sheet or a silver reflective sheet, of which a reflective layer is coated on a surface thereof. The material of the reflective layer can utilize the reflective material of which the reflectivity is above 50% to promote the reflective result.
Furthermore, as being the light sources, the Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp or LED (light emitting diode) can be illustrated. AS being the LEDs, the white LED can be uses. Alternatively, the combination of LEDs of various colors can be illustrated (such as white, red, blue, green, bluish green, amaranth, yellow). By using the OLEDs, the wavelength peak is sharp and thus the purity of the color can be raised. Under condition of utilizing the side light type, the light guide plate is arranged to achieve the uniform area light source.
Furthermore, the light guide plate 2 utilizes Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)/Polycarbonate (PC) to convert the line light source into the area light source.
