Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims the priority of Chinese patent application CN201510498384.9, entitled “Liquid Crystal Display Device in Perpendicular Alignment and Method of Driving the Same” and filed on Aug. 14, 2015, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of display, and particularly to a liquid crystal display device in vertical alignment and a method for driving the liquid crystal display device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In recent years, active Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) has been rapidly developed and widely used. There are many parameters for evaluating the performance of a TFT-LCD, such as resolution, picture contrast, color gamut, response time, and so on. The response time represents a time period a brightness switching process of the liquid crystal panel accounts, which is an important parameter reflecting a dynamic response ability of liquid crystal. In general, the shorter the response time is, the higher the highest image refresh rate of the display panel can be realized. In this manner, the smaller the smear degree is, and the clearer the dynamic image which moves at a high speed displayed therein can become.

The response time comprises a rising time and a declining time. FIG. 1 schematically shows changing of brightness (or light transmittance) of a display panel with time. As shown in FIG. 1, the rising time refers to a time period during which the brightness (or the light transmittance) of the display panel rises from 10% to 90%, and the declining time refers to a time period during which the brightness (or the light transmittance) of the display panel declines from 90% to 10%.

According to a calculation formula of the rising time, it can be seen that, the rising time is strongly dependent on an operating voltage. The higher the operating voltage is, the shorter the rising time would become. According to a calculation formula of the declining time, it can be seen that, the declining time is only dependent on design of a liquid crystal cell and the characteristics of a liquid crystal material, for example, a dielectric constant of the liquid crystal material. Therefore, during practical application, the rising time can be shortened through improving the operating voltage, while the declining time can be shortened through changing the design of the liquid crystal cell or changing the liquid crystal material therein.

Compared with the method for shortening the rising time, the method for shortening the declining time is more complicated, and has a low feasibility. On the one hand, if the declining time is shortened through changing the liquid crystal material in the display panel, other performances of the display panel would possibly be affected. For example, the temperature range in which the display panel can be used would be narrowed. On the other hand, it is difficult to shorten the declining time through improving the design of the liquid crystal cell.

The first polarizer, the second polarizer, the first vertical alignment layer, and the second vertical alignment layer are not shown in FIG. 2a. An inner side of the first substrate 101 and an inner side of the second substrate 201 are arranged facing each other, i.e., an inner surface of the first substrate 101 and an inner surface of the second substrate 201 are arranged facing each other. The negative liquid crystal layer 300 is arranged between the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 201. The first polarizer, the first vertical electrode 102, and the first vertical alignment layer are arranged on the first substrate 101. The second polarizer, the second vertical electrode 202, the insulation layer 203, the first horizontal electrode 2041, the second horizontal electrode 2042, and the second vertical alignment layer are arranged on the second substrate 201.

Specifically, the first polarizer is formed on an outer surface of the first substrate 101, and the second polarizer is formed on an outer surface of the second substrate 201. A light transmission axis of the first polarizer is perpendicular to a transmission axis of the second polarizer. The light transmission axis of the first polarizer extends along a 0° direction, and the light transmission axis of the second polarizer extends along a 90° direction. Or, the light transmission axis of the first polarizer extends along a 90° direction, and the light transmission axis of the second polarizer extends along a 0° direction.

The first vertical electrode 102 is preferably a planar electrode. The first vertical electrode 102 is formed on the inner surface of the first substrate 101, and the first vertical alignment layer covers an inner surface of the first vertical electrode 102.

The second vertical electrode 202 is preferably a planar electrode. The second vertical electrode 202 is formed on the inner surface of the second substrate 201, and the insulation layer 203 is formed on an inner surface of the second vertical electrode 202. The first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042 are arranged in a same layer on an inner surface of the insulation layer 203. The first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042 are preferably comb electrodes. Moreover, the first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042 are arranged parallel to each other and parallel to the light transmission axis of the first polarizer or the second polarizer. The second vertical alignment layer is formed on a pattern which is constituted by the first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042.

The operating principle of the liquid crystal display device in vertical alignment according to the present embodiment will be illustrated hereinafter with reference to FIGS. 2a to 5.

As shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the negative liquid crystal molecules are aligned perpendicular to a surface of the substrate when no power is supplied to the liquid crystal display device. That is, the liquid crystal display device is in a dark state.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the liquid crystal display device is converted into a bright state as shown in FIG. 3a from the dark state as shown in FIG. 2a. Specifically, the first vertical electrode 102 and the second vertical electrode 202 are supplied with power, and a vertical electric field can be formed between the first vertical electrode 102 and the second vertical electrode 202. At this time, the negative liquid crystal molecules rotate by the action of the vertical electric field, and the liquid crystal display device is in a bright state. With respect to the liquid crystal display device comprising multiple quadrants, the negative liquid crystal molecules in different quadrants have different rotation directions.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, the liquid crystal display device is converted into a dark state as shown in FIG. 4a from the bright state as shown in FIG. 3a. The power supplied to the first vertical electrode 102 and the second vertical electrode 202 is stopped, and at the same time, the first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042 are supplied with power, so that a horizontal electric field is generated between the first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042. At this time, the negative liquid crystal molecules rotate to a direction perpendicular to the horizontal electric field by the action of the horizontal electric field, and the liquid crystal display device is in a dark state. Specifically, a time period during which power is supplied to the first horizontal electrode and the second horizontal electrode ranges from 1 ms to 10 ms. The first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042 are supplied with power, so that a voltage difference therebetween ranges from 2 V to 10 V, and a horizontal electric field can be generated.

As shown in FIG. 5, according to the calculation formula of a light transmittance, i.e.,

$T=\frac{1}{2}*{\sin }^2\left(2\alpha \right)*{\sin }^2\left(\frac{\varphi }{2}\right),$

it can be seen that, when β is 0°, there is no phase difference, i.e., φ is 0°. At this time, the liquid crystal display device is in a state as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b. When β is not equal to 0° and α is 45°, the light transmittance T has a highest value. At this time, the liquid crystal display device is in a state as shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b. When α is 0° or 90°, the light transmittance T is zero. At this time, the liquid crystal display device is in a state as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b. The process that the liquid crystal display device is converted into a dark state from a bright state is the process from FIG. 3a to FIG. 4a. It should be noted that, the liquid crystal display device is in a dark state in FIG. 4a and FIG. 2a. That is, when the liquid crystal display device is converted into a state as shown in FIG. 2a from a state as shown in FIG. 4a, the brightness thereof does not change.

It can be seen that, in the liquid crystal display device in vertical alignment according to the present embodiment, the first horizontal electrode and the second horizontal electrode are added on the basis of the traditional structure. A horizontal electric field can be formed between the first horizontal electrode and the second horizontal electrode, so that the negative liquid crystal molecules can rotate along horizontal direction to a direction of the light transmission axis of the polarizer. The process that the liquid crystal display device is converted into the dark state from the bright state can be accelerated, and the declining time can be effectively shortened. According to the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display device has a high response speed, and a better display effect can be obtained when a dynamic image which moves at a high speed is displayed.

According to the present embodiment, the rotation of the liquid crystal molecules can be accelerated by the horizontal electric field, while the structure of the liquid crystal cell and the liquid crystal material do not change. Therefore, the declining time can be shortened effectively, while other good performances of the liquid crystal display device would not be affected. The method disclosed herein has a good feasibility.

The horizontal driving module is configured to stop supplying power to the first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042 when a time period during which power is supplied to the first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042 reaches a preset time period.

The method for controlling conversion of the liquid crystal display device into a dark state from a bright state mainly comprises step 1 to step 3.

In step 1, the power supplied to the first vertical electrode 102 and the second vertical electrode 202 is stopped, at the same time, the first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042 are supplied with power, and a voltage difference between the first horizontal electrode 2041 and the second horizontal electrode 2042 is enabled to reach a first preset voltage difference. Here, the first preset voltage difference preferably ranges from 2 V to 10 V.

In step 2, whether a time period during which power is supplied to the first horizontal electrode and the second horizontal electrode reaches a preset time period is determined. Here, the preset time period preferably ranges from 1 ms to 10 ms.

In step 3, if a determination result of step 2 is yes, the power supplied to the first horizontal electrode and the second horizontal electrode is stopped.

According to the present embodiment, the response speed of the liquid crystal display device can be improved, and a better display effect can be obtained when a dynamic image which moves at a high speed is displayed.
