The present application relates to the field of display technology, in particular to a liquid crystal display and a liquid crystal display device.
With increase of the viewing angle of the thin-film transistor LCD (TFT-LCD), contrast of an image continues to decrease, and definition of the image gradually decreases, due to the fact that the birefringence of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer changes with the observation angle. The wide viewing angle compensation film can be used to compensate, which can effectively reduce light leakage of the image in a dark state, and can greatly increase within a certain viewing angle. The contrast of the image. The compensation principle of the wide viewing angle compensation film is generally to correct the phase difference generated by the liquid crystal at different viewing angles, so that the birefringence properties of the liquid crystal molecules are compensated symmetrically. However, the wide viewing angle compensation film cannot compensate the light leakage in the dark state at a horizontal viewing angle and the light leakage in the dark state at a vertical viewing angle. Since the light leakage in the dark state at the horizontal viewing angle cannot be compensated, quality of the image in the dark state at the horizontal viewing angle is impacted, and a relative position of a viewer and the LCD screen determines whether or not the horizontal viewing angle will be easier to be seen by the viewer, so the contrast and clarity of the horizontal viewing angle have the greatest affect on the viewing effect.

In an embodiment, a liquid crystal display is provided, and a display mode of the liquid crystal display is a vertical alignment (VA) display mode. Of course, the present application is not particularly limited thereto, and the present application only takes the liquid crystal display screen in vertical alignment display mode as an example. As shown in

Further, still referring to
Further, the slit angle a is set to a range from 0 degrees to 39.99 degrees to alleviate the light leakage of the liquid crystal display in the dark state at a horizontal viewing angle.
Specifically, the influence of different slit angles a of slits of a pixel electrode on a light leakage distribution in a dark state is simulated. The slit angle a of the slits of the conventional pixel electrode is 45 degrees. When the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode is 45 degrees, the corresponding light leakage distribution in the dark state is shown in
Further, compared to a side viewing angle of 60 degrees relative to a normal direction of the liquid crystal display, in different pixel electrodes, when the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode is 35 degrees, the corresponding light leakage distribution in the dark state is shown in
Further, when the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode is 55 degrees, the corresponding light leakage distribution in the dark state is shown in
The brightness corresponding to different slit angles of pixel electrodes in a dark state at different viewing angles is shown in
Further, according to the above simulation data, it can be seen that the slit angle of the slit of the pixel electrode becomes smaller, and the area with serious light leakage in the dark state viewing angle is close to the vertical viewing angle (90 degrees or 270 degrees), so the light leakage in the dark state at the horizontal viewing angle can be improved. The slit angle of the slit of the pixel electrode becomes larger, and the area with serious light leakage in the dark state is close to the horizontal viewing angle (0 degrees or 180 degrees), so the light leakage in the dark state at the vertical viewing angle can be improved.
Further, when the slit angles of the pixel electrodes are set to have different angles, the effect in the dark state at the horizontal viewing angle is simulated, and the result is shown in
Therefore, in this embodiment, the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode is set in the range of 0° to 39.99°, which effectively reduces the brightness in the dark state at the horizontal viewing angle and improves the light leakage in the dark state horizontal viewing angle.
It should be noted that the pixel electrode of this embodiment takes the two domains shown in
In an embodiment, the difference from the foregoing embodiments is that the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode ranges from 34.99 degrees to 39.99 degrees. Specifically, while setting the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode to alleviate the light leakage in the dark state at the horizontal viewing angle, the influence of the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode on the transmittance of the liquid crystal display is also necessary to be considered. Specifically, as shown in
In summary, on the premise of alleviating the light leakage of the liquid crystal display in the dark state at the horizontal viewing angle, and reducing the influence on the transmittance of the liquid crystal display, the range of the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode is preferably between 34.99 degrees and 39.99 degrees.
In an embodiment, the difference from the foregoing embodiments is that the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode is set in the range of 50.01 degrees to 90 degrees, to alleviate the light leakage of the liquid crystal display in the dark state at the vertical viewing angle. According to the simulation results of alleviating the light leakage of the liquid crystal display in the dark state at the horizontal viewing angle in the above embodiment, it can be seen that when the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode is greater than 45 degrees, the area with serious light leakage in the dark state is close to the horizontal viewing angle, which can effectively reduce the brightness in the dark state at the vertical viewing angle, thereby alleviating the light leakage in the dark state at the vertical viewing angle. Therefore, setting the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode in the range of 50.01 degrees to 90 degrees can alleviate the light leakage of the liquid crystal display in the dark state at the vertical viewing angle. Other details can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiment, which will not be repeated herein for brevity.

Specifically, while setting the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode to alleviate the light leakage in the dark state at the vertical viewing angle, the influence of the slit angle a of the pixel electrode on the transmittance of the liquid crystal display is also necessary to be considered. According to the transmittance corresponding to different slit angles a of the slits of the pixel electrode shown in
In an embodiment, the difference from the foregoing embodiments is that the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode of the green sub-pixel of the liquid crystal display screen is set to be in the slit angle range in the foregoing embodiments. Specifically, the liquid crystal display screen includes red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, and blue sub-pixels, wherein sub-pixels of different colors contribute differently to the brightness of the liquid crystal display screen, and the green sub-pixels mainly affect the brightness of the liquid crystal display screen. Therefore, the slit angle a of the slit of the pixel electrode of the green sub-pixel is set to be in the slit angle range in the above embodiment, and the slit angle ranges of the pixel electrodes of the red sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel can be appropriately widened.
In another embodiment, a display device is provided, which includes the liquid crystal display screen of one of the above embodiments.

The slit angles ranging from 50.01 degrees to 90 degrees can alleviate light leakage of the liquid crystal display in the dark state at the vertical viewing angle. The slit angles ranging from 34.99 degrees to 39.99 degrees can alleviate light leakage of the liquid crystal display in the dark state at the horizontal viewing angle without impacting the transmittance of the liquid crystal display.
