Description

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The disclosure relates to a display technical field, and more particularly to a display panel and a method of manufacturing the display panel.

BACKGROUND

As a result of the rotation of the liquid crystal molecules, each sub-pixel on the liquid crystal display (LCD) screen transferred from the previous frame color brightness to the next frame color has a time course, that is, a well-known response time.

The response time is an important parameter to measure the level of liquid crystal display performance. The shorter the response time, the less the silhouette drag phenomenon when the user sees a dynamic picture, and the user may have a better visual experience.

Now as regarding to the definition of response time, “black→+white→+black” (bright→dark→bright) full response time is taken as a standard basically. The response time includes a rise time and a fall time. The rise time refers to a time of the panel transferred from dark state to bright state, and it mainly determined by the rotation speed under the liquid crystal is subjected to the electric field. The fall time refers to a time of the panel transferred from bright state to dark state, and it mainly determined by the speed of the liquid crystal transferred back to the original orientation location under the liquid crystal is subjected to the anchoring force of a liquid crystal orientation. When the liquid crystal has a high viscosity or is in a low temperature environment, the fall time of the liquid crystal may become slow, it becomes a main reason for the slower response time, and the slower response time may cause the image lag.
