DISPLAY PANEL AND DISPLAY DEVICE

Abstract

A display panel and a display device are provided. The display panel comprises a first substrate and a second substrate which are disposed opposite to each other, at least two first electrodes, at least one second electrode, and liquid crystal molecules. A supporting block is disposed between the second electrode and the array substrate to increase a height of the second electrode, and when the first electrodes and the second electrode are energized, electric field lines generated by the electrodes with different polarities cover more liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, distribution of electric field is changed, deflection efficiency of the liquid crystal is increased, and transmissivity of the panel is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a physical keyboard input system, a keyboard input method and a storage medium. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of the present disclosure clearer and more specific, the present disclosure is described in further detail below with reference to the embodiments accompanying with drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present disclosure, and not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display panel 100 comprising a first substrate 101 and a second substrate 102 which are disposed opposite to each other, at least two first electrodes 104, at least one second electrode 105, and liquid crystal molecules 103.

[0025] The first substrate 101 is an array substrate and the second substrate 102 is a color filter substrate.

[0026] The first electrodes 104 are disposed on the first substrate 101.

[0027] The second electrode 105 is disposed on the first substrate 101 and between two of the first electrodes 104. A polarity of the second electrode 105 is different from those of the first electrodes 104. Thus, an electric field can be generated to deflect the liquid crystal molecule 103.

[0028] The display panel 100 further comprises a passivation layer 107, a first alignment layer 109, and a second alignment layer 108.

[0029] The passivation layer 107 is disposed on the first substrate 101.

[0030] The first alignment layer 109 is disposed on the first substrate 101, the first electrodes 104, and the second electrode 105.

[0031] The second alignment layer 108 is disposed at a side of the second substrate 102 facing the liquid crystal molecules 103.

[0032] The first electrodes 104 are positive electrodes or negative electrodes, and the second electrode 105 is a negative electrode or a positive electrode.

[0033] Materials of the first electrodes 104 comprise indium tin oxide, and/or a material of the second electrode 105 comprises indium tin oxide.

[0034] Widths of the first electrodes 104 range from 2 μm to 3 μm, and/or a width of the second electrode 105 ranges from 2 μm to 3 μm, and/or distances between the first electrodes 104 and the second electrode 105 range from 7 μm to 12 μm.

[0035] The first electrodes 104 and the second electrode 105 are pixel electrodes.

[0036] The liquid crystal molecules 103 are disposed between the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 in an array arrangement. The liquid crystal molecules 103 are polymer-stabilized vertically alignment-type (PSVA) liquid crystals.

[0037] The liquid crystal molecules 103 are elliptic and long axes thereof are perpendicular to the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102.

[0038] A supporting block 106 is disposed between the second electrode 105 and the array substrate.

[0039] A height of the supporting block 106 is greater than those of the first electrodes 104, a material of the supporting block 106 comprises a color resist, and a height of the supporting block 106 ranges from 0.5 μm to 1.5 μm.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the supporting block 106 is disposed between the second electrode 105 and the array substrate to increase a height of the second electrode 105, and when the first electrodes 104 and the second electrode 105 are energized, electric field lines generated by the electrodes with different polarities cover more liquid crystal molecules 103. Therefore, a distribution of electric field (which is a distribution of electric field in FIG. 3) is changed, a deflection efficiency of the liquid crystals is increased, and the transmissivity of the panel is improved.

[0041] In comparison with the display panel in the prior art, the transmissivity of the display panel in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be increased from 14.5% to 17.6%, and a driving voltage (7V) is increased from 21.0% to 23.1% (a driving voltage of 10V).

[0042] FIG. 4 illustrates measurement simulation graphs 110, 120, and 130 of the transmissivity of display panels using supporting blocks with different heights provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, compared with a measurement simulation graph (which is shown by dashed lines) of transmissivity of the display panel in the prior art. The display panel provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure has a normal transmissivity in the marked areas 10 shown in FIG. 2, and it can be seen that the deflections are generated in FIG. 3 corresponding to the marked areas 10 in FIG. 2.

[0043] The height of the supporting block 106 corresponding to the graph 110 is 0.6 μm and the height of the supporting block 106 corresponding to the graph 120 is 1 μm; the height of the supporting block 106 corresponding to the graph 130 is 0.6 μm and the height of the supporting block 106 corresponding to the graph 120 is 1.5 μm.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 5, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display device 200 comprising a display panel 100, an upper polarizer 202, and a lower polarizer 201. The display panel 100 is disposed between the upper polarizer 202 and the lower polarizer 201.

[0045] The display panel 100 comprises a first substrate 101 and a second substrate 102 which are disposed opposite to each other, at least two first electrodes 104, at least one second electrode 105, and liquid crystal molecules 103.

[0046] The first substrate 101 is an array substrate, and the second substrate 102 is a color filter substrate.

[0047] The first electrodes 104 are disposed on the array substrate.

[0048] The second electrode 105 is disposed on the array substrate and between two of the first electrodes 104. A polarity of the second electrode 105 is different from those of the first electrodes 104. Thus, an electric field can be generated to deflect the liquid crystal molecule 103.

[0049] The first electrodes 104 are positive electrodes or negative electrodes, and the second electrode 105 is a negative electrode or a positive electrode.

[0050] Materials of the first electrodes 104 comprise indium tin oxide, and/or, a material of the second electrode 105 comprises indium tin oxide.

[0051] Widths of the first electrodes 104 range from 2 μm to 3 μm, and/or, a width of the second electrode 105 ranges from 2 μm to 3 μm, and/or, distances between the first electrodes 104 and the second electrode 105 range from 7 μm to 12 μm.

[0052] The liquid crystal molecules 103 are disposed between the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102 in an array arrangement. The liquid crystal molecules 103 are PSVA.

[0053] The liquid crystal molecules 103 are elliptic and long axes thereof are perpendicular to the first substrate 101 and the second substrate 102.

[0054] A supporting block 106 is disposed between the second electrode 105 and the array substrate.

[0055] A height of the supporting block 106 is greater than those of the first electrodes 104, a material of the supporting block 106 comprises a color resist, and a height of the supporting block 106 ranges from 0.5 μm to 1.5 μm.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the supporting block 106 is disposed between the second electrode 105 and the array substrate to increase a height of the second electrode 105, and when the first electrodes 104 and the second electrode 105 are energized, electric field lines generated by the electrodes with different polarities cover more liquid crystal molecules 103. Therefore, a distribution of electric field (which is a distribution of electric field in FIG. 3) is changed, a deflection efficiency of the liquid crystals is increased, and the transmissivity of the panel is improved.

[0057] It can be understood that, for those skilled in the art, equivalent replacements and modifications can be made according to the technical solution and disclosure ideas thereof of the present disclosure, and all these modifications or replacements are considered within the protection scope of the attached claims of the present disclosure.
