The present invention relates to a display technology field, and more particularly to a pixel electrode and a liquid crystal display panel.
In recent years, the Thin Film Transistor-LCD (TFT-LCD) has been rapidly developed and applied widely. For the TFT-LCD in the mainstream market, three types, which respectively are Twisted Nematic (TN), Super Twisted Nematic (STN), In-Plane Switching (IPS) and Vertical Alignment (VA) can be illustrated. The VA liquid crystal display possesses extremely high contrast than the liquid crystal displays of other types, which can reach up to 4000-8000 in general. It has very wide application in large scale display, such as television or etc.
The reason why the VA liquid crystal display possesses extremely high contrast is that the liquid crystal molecules are vertically aligned to the substrate surface, and no phase difference exists, and light leakage is very small, and the dark state brightness is extremely small at the dark state without applying electricity. The lower the brightness at the dark state can be, the higher the contrast is according to the contrast calculation formula. For vertically aligning the liquid crystal molecules of the VA liquid crystal display to the substrate surface, it is demanded to implement vertical alignment treatment to the liquid crystal molecules. The most common way is to coat vertical alignment solution on specific areas of surfaces of the upper, lower substrates, and the alignment solution generally comprises a large amount of chemical solution NMP (N-methylpyrrolidone) and Polyimide (PI), and then to bake the substrates for a long period at high temperature (generally above 200 degrees) for curing the solvent in the alignment solution. Thus, PI alignment layers are formed on the surfaces of the substrates. As shown in
For earning better wide view angle property for the VA liquid crystal display panel to improve the color shift issue, the multi-domain VA (MVA) technology is commonly utilized, which is to divide a sub pixel into many districts and drive the liquid crystals in respective districts to lie down toward different directions as applying voltage. Thus, the watch results from respective directions can be equal. There are many methods for realizing the MVA technology. Please refer to
According to the transmittance formula of the VA liquid crystal display panel:
wherein T is the penetration rate, and Δφ is the included angle between the long axis of the liquid crystal and the polarizer, of which the efficiency is the maximum as the angle is 45°; Γ is the phase difference, i.e. the modulation result to the polarized light with the liquid crystal molecules driven by the electrical field.
The calculation formula of Γ is:
Γ=cos(a)*2π*Δn*d/λ (2)
wherein a is the included angle between the long axis of the liquid crystal and the normal line of the substrate, and the volume is determined according to the electrical fielding affecting the liquid crystal molecules, and d is the cell gap, and Δn is the refractivity difference of the long, short axes of the liquid crystal.
According to the penetration rate formula, in the four areas of the sub pixel, the pixel electrode 520 comprises a pattern of pixel electrode branches 512 respectively extending in directions of 45°, 135°, −45° and −135° relative to the horizontal direction with spaced slits (the direction of the upper, lower polarizers respectively are 0°, 90°). The long axes of the liquid crystal molecules will respectively fell down toward the directions of 45°, 135°, −45° and −135° relative to the horizontal direction. In the penetration rate formula sin2 2ΔΦ=1, the maximization of the penetration rate can be achieved.
However, the liquid crystal molecules 400 in the area corresponding to the (cross) keel 511 of the pixel electrode 520 as shown in
