The liquid crystal display panel comprises: a first polarizer and a second polarizer disposed oppositely to each other; the absorption axis of the first polarizer is disposed at a first angle based on the zero degree horizontal direction of the vertical aligned liquid crystal cells, and the absorption axis of the second polarizer is disposed at a second angle, the optical biaxial compensation film is disposed at a third angle; the first angle and the second angle are different from each other and are one of 90 degrees or zero degrees; in the vertically aligned liquid crystal cells, the third angle and angles of the first and second polarizers on the sides opposite to the optical biaxial compensation films are the same.
The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: {1} different from the prior art, the liquid crystal display panel and the liquid crystal display proposed in the present application compensate for the light leakage in the side view by using an optical biaxial compensation film on one side to keep the contrast of side view of the liquid crystal panel; further, the vertical aligned liquid crystal cell uses a single side of the zero phase retardation film, which can effectively reduce the optical biaxial compensation film due to the light leakage in dark state, thereby the contrast of liquid crystal panels is enhanced, while water vapor is effectively able to isolate and the polarizing plate is supported by the core layer of the polarizer. The zero phase compensation film on the shaft angle is not required, so you can reduce the precision requirements of slow axis of compensation film material for the polarizer and the precision requirements of the bonding of the polarizer. The over whole cost of the polarizer is reduced.

First, for the existing color filter integrated liquid crystal display panel, the following improvements is made by the present application are as follows. Referring to
Further, in this embodiment, the polarizer on the side opposite to the optical biaxial compensation film 223 is the second polarizer 232, and then the zero phrase retardation film 233 is disposed between the vertically aligned liquid crystal cell 210 and the second polarizer 232.
In this embodiment, the optical biaxial compensation film 223 is disposed between the first polarizer 222 and the vertically aligned liquid crystal cell 210. Since the vertical aligned liquid crystal cell 210 is one transistor structure integrated a chip with the a color filter. In conjunction with
Further, the absorption axis of the first polarizer 222 is disposed at a first angle, the absorption axis of the second polarizer 232 is disposed at a second angle; the optical biaxial compensation film 223 is disposed at a third angle. The first angle and the second angle are different and the same as one of 90 degrees or 0 degree. Compared with the vertical alignment liquid crystal cell 210, the third angle corresponds to the angle of the polarizer on the side opposite to the optical biaxial compensation film 223. In this embodiment, the polarizer on the side opposite to the optical biaxial compensation film is the second polarizer 232. Therefore, the third angle and the second angle are the same.
In particular, continued reference to
Further, the retardation value Ro of the internal phase of the optical biaxial compensation film in this embodiment is 144 to 408 nm. Next, the basis for selecting the range of the internal phase difference Ro between the optical biaxial compensation films will be described.
In general, compensation principle of the compensation film is generally to correct the phase difference of the liquid crystal at different angles, so that the birefringence properties of the liquid crystal obtain symmetry compensation. The optical biaxial compensation film has an in plane retardation Ro and an out-of-plane retardation Rth in the thickness direction.
In the actual polarizer production process, the slow axis of the compensation film material will fluctuate and will not be stable at 0 degree or 90 degree. The general specification is ±0.5 degree. The variation of the slow axis of the compensation film will cause the incident light changes in polarization, thus the brightness of the emitted light is affected, resulting in dark state light leakage and affecting the contrast.
When the slow axis of the compensation film deviates from 1 degree, LCD master simulates the influence of the different compensation values Ro and Rth to the light leakage in the dark state and the contrast through the use of the liquid crystal display simulation software.
In the influence factors of the contrast of the polarizing plate resulting from the variation of the slow axis of the compensation film, only the in-plane phase difference Ro affects the contrast, and Rth does not affect the contrast. Therefore, the most direct way to enhance the contrast of the frontal view is to change the commonly used optical biaxial compensation film into a single axis compensation film having only the thickness direction surface position compensation value Rth for solving the problem of a decrease in contrast due to a slow-axis variation. But there is no in-plane phase difference. The non-orthogonal state caused by the dark state light leakage cannot be compensated when looking into the side of the polarizer.
Further, it can be seen from
In the present application, the zero retardation film, values of the compensating film compensation Ro and Rth are both 0 and mainly functions to isolate the water vapor and to support the polarizer. The currently used zero retardation film has a cycloolefin polymer (Cyclo-olefin polymer, COP) membrane and TAO membrane. It should be noticed that in the present application, there is no requirement on the axial angle of the zero-phase retardation film, which can reduce the precision requirement of the slow axis of the polarizer compensation film material and the precision requirement when bonding with the polarizer, and reduce the overall cost of the polarizing plate.
Different from the prior art, a liquid crystal display panel proposed by the present disclosure compensates the light leakage of the side view by adopting a optical biaxial compensation film on one side so as to maintain the contrast of the side view of the liquid crystal panel. Further, the vertical alignment liquid crystal cell uses the zero phase difference film in one side, so that the present invention can effectively reduce due to the variation of the optical biaxial compensation film variation caused by the light leakage of the dark state and then enhance the contrast of the liquid crystal panel, while the water vapor is able to be effectively isolated, the core polarizer supports the polarizing plate. The angle of the zero phase film to the axis is not required, so the present disclosure can reduce the precision requirement of the slow axis of the polarizer compensation film material and the precision requirement when bonding with the polarizer, and reduce the overall cost of the polarizing plate.
Next, for the conventional LCD panel, the present application made the following improvements: Please refer to
In this embodiment, the optical biaxial compensation film 333 is disposed between the second polarizer 332 and the vertical alignment liquid crystal cell 310. Due to the vertical alignment of the liquid crystal cell 310 is a conventional liquid crystal structure. It can be seen from the specific structure of the vertically aligned liquid crystal cell 110b in
Further, the absorption axis of the first polarizer 322 is disposed at a first angle; the absorption axis of the second polarizer 332 is disposed at a second angle; the biaxial optical compensation film 333 is disposed at a third angle. The first angle and the second angle are the same as one of 90° or 0°. The third angle is the same as angle of the polarizer on the side opposite to the biaxial optical compensation film 333 with respect to the vertical alignment of the vertically aligned liquid crystal cell 210. In this embodiment, the polarizer on the side opposite to the biaxial optical compensation film 333 is the second polarizer 332. Therefore, the third angle is same as the second angle.
Specifically, Please refer to
Further, in this embodiment, the polarizer on the side opposite to the optical biaxial compensation film 333 is the first polarizer 322, and then the zero phase retardation film 323 is disposed between the vertical aligned liquid crystal cell 310 and the first polarization layer 322.
The embodiment adjusts two polarizers in the conventional liquid crystal cell structure correspondingly. Compared with the first embodiment of the present application, the difference is the position between the zero phase retardation film and the optical biaxial compensation film relative to the vertical aligned liquid crystal cell 310, but other structures have not changed.
Different from the prior art, a liquid crystal display panel proposed by the present application compensates the light leakage of the side view by adopting a biaxial optical axis compensation film on one side so as to maintain the contrast of the side view of the liquid crystal panel. Further, the zero phase difference film is used in one side of the vertical alignment liquid crystal cell, so that the dark state light leakage can be effectively reduced due to compensation film optical axis variation. Thereby, the contrast of the liquid crystal panel is enhanced while water vapor can be effectively isolated and the polarizer is supported by the core layer of the polarizer. The zero phase retardation film does not restrict the axis angle, so the slow axis of compensation film of the polarizer material requirements and the precision requirements of the polarizer can be reduced. The overall cost of the polarizer can be reduced.
Further, with the development of new materials, the zero phrase retardation film can be directly removed by using a water resistant, high-temperature resistant and wet polarizing material when a polarizer or a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer have reliable water resistance and supporting function. This zero phase retardation film has the phase difference of the film itself will not affect the deviation of the panel contrast, and can improve the stability of the panel contrast. At the same time, the thickness of the polarizer is reduced, the stress is weakened, and the warpage problem of the large size liquid crystal panel is improved.
For this reason, for the existing color filter integrated liquid crystal display panel, the improvements made by the present application are as follows. Referring to
In the present embodiment of a liquid crystal display panel, the difference from the first embodiment is the polarizer 432 on the side opposite to the biaxial optical compensation film 423 is available for high temperature and humidity. The material is a polyvinyl alcohol film with High temperature and humidity characteristics. The temperature and humidity resistant material property of the high temperature and humidity resistant polarizer 432 can achieve high temperature and humidity resistance by adjusting the formulation, draw ratio and tensile rate of the polyvinyl alcohol iodine solution. In this way, the monolithic polarizer has the characteristics of high temperature and humidity resistance. Specifically, the step of determining the polarizer with high temperature and humidity steps: for high temperature resistance characteristics, the specification of 40*40 mm is taken as a polarizing sample, with a roller attached to a clean glass, and placed at 80° C.*5 kgf/cm2 environment. After 15 minutes, to determine if 80° C., 500 hours of high temperature resistance requirement meets the specification. For high moisture resistance characteristics, the specification of 40*40 mm polarizer sample is taken, with a roller attached to the clean glass. The polarizing sample is placed in 80° C.*5 kgf/cm2 environment after 15 minutes to determine the 60° C., 90% RH (humidity). 500 hours of humidity resistance meets the specifications, which determine the specifications for the change of the polarizing single body penetration rate ≤5%.
Further, in the present embodiment, the zero phrase retardation film 233 in the first embodiment is directly removed. This is because the high temperature and wet resistant polarizer 432 is used to improve the material property of the polarizer on the one side with respect to the vertically aligned liquid crystal cell 410. The biaxial optical compensation film 423 is provided on the other side. Therefore, the material properties of a polarizer 422 are not limited. Other structures have not changed.

The difference of the second embodiment is that in a liquid crystal display panel, the polarizer on the side opposite to the biaxial optical compensation film 533 in the embodiment is a high temperature and wet resistant polarizer 522. The material is also a polyvinyl alcohol film with high temperature and humidity characteristics. The temperature and humidity resistant material properties of the high temperature and humidity resistant polarizer 522 can achieve high temperature and humidity resistance by adjusting the formulation, draw ratio and draw rate of the polyvinyl alcohol iodine solution. In this way, the monolithic polarizer has the characteristics of high temperature and humidity resistance. Specifically, the step of determining that the polarizer has high temperature and humidity resistance is as described above, and details are not described herein again.
Further, in the present embodiment, the zero phrase retardation film 323 in the second embodiment is directly removed. This is because the high temperature and wet resistant polarizer 522 is used to enhance the material properties of the polarizer on the one side with respect to the vertical aligned liquid crystal cell 510 and the optical biaxial compensation film 533 is provided on the other side. Therefore, the material properties of the second polarizer 532 are not limited. Other structures have not changed.
Further, the structure in the present application is verified below.

Further, the parallel transmittance of the polarizer is obtained by the actual measurement. The vertical transmittance and the contrast of the polarizer are as follows:
It can be clearly seen that the contrast ratio of the polarizer with the zero retardation film is obviously improved while the other parameters are not changed much. The increase of the contrast ratio of the polarizer to the liquid crystal panel will weaken the light leakage of the dark state, thereby increasing the contrast of the liquid crystal panel.

The backlight module 700 provides a display light source to the liquid crystal display panel 600. The liquid crystal display panel 600 is any liquid crystal display panel in the embodiments of the present application.
It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application only improve two kinds of different structures of vertically aligned liquid crystal cells. It can be understood that any other type of liquid crystal cell structure can be used as long as the related structures in this application are used within the scope of the present application.
To sum up, in view of the current demand for high-contrast liquid crystal panels, the present invention develops a new polarizer architecture that takes into account both frontal contrast and side-view contrast without sacrificing side-view contrast and side-view taste panel production, yield under the premise of improving the compensation structure of the polarizer, and with the structure of the LCD cell to improve the contrast of the LCD panel, while eliminating material precision requirements of slow axis of the monolayer polarizer compensation film and the polarizer paste reducing the overall cost of the polarizer; and for the new polarizer architecture features, through the use of high durability polarized light to reduce the use of a layer of compensation film, thereby the thickness of the polarizer is reduce and the stress is reduced and the warpage problem of large-size liquid crystal panels is improved.
