The sizes of the first liquid crystal capsules 210 and the second liquid crystal capsules 310 are, for example, about 100 nanometers to 400 nanometers. In the present embodiment, the display medium layer LC is, for example, nematic liquid crystals.

[0027] FIG. 2A is a schematic view of the refractive index of a first liquid crystal layer according to an embodiment of the invention on different direction axes when an electric field is not applied. FIG. 2B is a schematic view of the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer according to an embodiment of the invention on different direction axes after the electric field is applied. In FIG. 2B, the direction of the electric field applied to the first liquid crystal layer is parallel with the y-axis.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 2A, when the electric field is not applied, the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer on the z-axis is greater than the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer on the x-axis and the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on the y-axis. For example, the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on the x-axis is equal to the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on the y-axis.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 2B, after the electric field parallel with the y-axis is applied to the first liquid crystal layer 200, the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on the y-axis can be increased, and the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on the x-axis and the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on the z-axis can be decreased.

[0030] What is worth noting is that, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B are only used for showing changing of the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on different direction axes after the electric field is applied, and cannot be used for interpreting an actual numerical value of the refractive index.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 1, the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 is about equal to the refractive index of the first liquid crystal capsules 210. The dielectric anisotropy of the first liquid crystal capsules 210 is greater than 0. In the invention, the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on the z-axis is greater than the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on the x-axis and the refractive index of the first liquid crystal layer 200 on the y-axis. The refractive index of the first liquid crystal capsules 210 on the z-axis is greater than the refractive index of the first liquid crystal capsules 210 on the x-axis and the refractive index of the first liquid crystal capsules 210 on the y-axis. The refractive index of a film layer composed of the multiple first liquid crystal capsules 210 is measured so as to obtain the refractive index of the first liquid crystal capsules 210. In the present embodiment, the first liquid crystal molecules 212 in the first liquid crystal capsules 210 can be called C+ type liquid crystal molecules. In some embodiments, the first liquid crystal molecules 212 are long-strip liquid crystal molecules which are prone to be mutually stacked, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0032] In the present embodiment, part of the first liquid crystal molecules 212 are represented by following Chemical Formula 1:

##STR00001##

[0033] In Chemical Formula 1, R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, halogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, one CH.sub.2 in the alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms is substituted or unsubstituted by O, S or CHCH, hydrogen in the alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms is substituted or unsubstituted by fluorine, where Y.sub.1, Y.sub.2, Y.sub.3, Y.sub.4, Y.sub.5 and Y.sub.6 are each independently hydrogen or fluorine, where Z is CH.sub.2, CH.sub.2CH.sub.2, (CH.sub.2).sub.3, CH.sub.2CH.sub.2, COO, OOCCF.sub.2O, OCH.sub.2, CH.sub.2O, OCF.sub.2, CHCH or a single bond, and n is greater than or equal to 1. In some embodiments, 40 wt % of the first liquid crystal molecules 212 are represented by Chemical Formula 1.

[0034] FIG. 3A is a schematic view of the refractive index of a second liquid crystal layer according to an embodiment of the invention on different direction axes when an electric field is not applied. FIG. 3B is a schematic view of the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer according to an embodiment of the invention on different direction axes after the electric field is applied. In FIG. 3B, the direction of the electric field applied to the second liquid crystal layer is parallel with the y-axis.

[0035] Referring to FIG. 3A, when the electric field is not applied, the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on the z-axis is smaller than the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on the x-axis and the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on the y-axis. For example, the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on the x-axis is equal to the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on the y-axis.

[0036] Referring to FIG. 3B, after the electric field parallel with the y-axis is applied to the second liquid crystal layer 300, the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on the y-axis can be increased, and the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer on the x-axis and the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer on the z-axis can be decreased.

[0037] What is worth noting is that, FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B are only used for showing changing of the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on different direction axes after the electric field is applied, and cannot be used for interpreting an actual numerical value of the refractive index.

[0038] Referring to FIG. 1, the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 is about equal to the refractive index of the second liquid crystal capsules 310. The dielectric anisotropy of the second liquid crystal molecules 312 is greater than 0. In the invention, the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on the z-axis is smaller than the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on the x-axis and the refractive index of the second liquid crystal layer 300 on the y-axis. The refractive index of the second liquid crystal capsules 310 on the z-axis is smaller than the refractive index of the second liquid crystal capsules 310 on the x-axis and the refractive index of the second liquid crystal capsules 310 on the y-axis. The refractive index of a film layer composed of the multiple second liquid crystal capsules 310 is measured so as to obtain the refractive index of the second liquid crystal capsules 310. In the present embodiment, the second liquid crystal molecules 312 in the second liquid crystal capsules 310 can also be called C- type liquid crystal molecules. In some embodiments, the shape of the second liquid crystal molecules 312 may be unfavorable for mutual stacking, but the invention is not limited thereto.

[0039] In the present embodiment, part of the second liquid crystal molecules 312 are represented by Chemical Formula 2 or Chemical Formula 3 below:

##STR00002##

[0040] In Chemical Formula 2 and Chemical Formula 3, R is hydrogen, halogen or an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, one CH.sub.2 in the alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms is substituted or unsubstituted by O , S or CHCH, and hydrogen in the alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms is substituted or unsubstituted by fluorine, where Y.sub.1, Y.sub.2, Y.sub.3 and Y.sub.4, are each independently hydrogen or fluorine, where Z is CH.sub.2, CH.sub.2CH.sub.2, (CH.sub.2).sub.3, CH.sub.2CH.sub.2, COO, OOCCF.sub.2O, OCH.sub.2, CH.sub.2O, OCF2. CHCHor a single bond, and n is greater than or equal to 1. In some embodiments, 40 wt % of the second liquid crystal molecules 312 are represented by Chemical Formula 2 or Chemical Formula 3. In some embodiments, part of the second liquid crystal molecules 312 are represented by Chemical Formula 2, and part of the second liquid crystal molecules 312 are represented by Chemical Formula 3.

[0041] When the first liquid crystal molecules 212 or the second liquid crystal molecules 312 are independently used as the display medium layer of the liquid crystal panel, great brightness is achieved respectively under different viewing angles. For example, when the first liquid crystal molecules 212 serve as the display medium layer of the liquid crystal panel, brightness is high when the viewing angle is 0 degrees and 180 degrees, and when the second liquid crystal molecules 312 serve as the display medium layer of the liquid crystal panel, brightness is high when the viewing angle is 90 degrees and 270 degrees. Thus, the display medium layer LC of the present embodiment includes the first liquid crystal molecules 212 and the second liquid crystal molecules 312 at the same time, and the liquid crystal panel 10 has high brightness under the different viewing angles.

[0042] In the present embodiment, the optical axis direction of the first liquid crystal layer 200 is the same as the optical axis direction of the second liquid crystal layer 300. For example, the optical axis directions are both the same as the electric field direction. In other words, the optical axis direction of the first liquid crystal capsules 210 is the same as the optical axis direction of the second liquid crystal capsules 310. Compared with positive type liquid crystals (the dielectric anisotropy is greater than 0) and negative type liquid crystals (the dielectric anisotropy is smaller than 0) which have mixed optical axis directions perpendicular to each other, optical retardation effects of the first liquid crystal layer 200 and the second liquid crystal layer 300 in the display medium layer LC of the present embodiment are not mutually offset, so that the display medium layer LC of the present embodiment has a higher front view penetration rate.

[0043] For example, FIG. 10A is a viewing angle penetration rate simulated view of a liquid crystal display device using the liquid crystal panel 10. FIG. 10B is a viewing angle penetration rate simulated view of a liquid crystal display device with a display medium layer including positive type liquid crystals and negative type liquid crystals. It can be found that by comparing FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B, the liquid crystal display device using the liquid crystal panel 10 has a higher penetration rate.

[0044] In some embodiments, the liquid crystal display panel 10 further includes an opposed substrate (not drawn), and the display medium layer LC is disposed between the substrate 100 and the opposed substrate. For example, an electrode is arranged on the substrate 100 or on the substrate 100 and the opposed substrate, so that an electric field is generated between the substrate 100 and the opposed substrate, and the first liquid crystal molecules 212 and the second liquid crystal molecules 312 in the display medium layer LC are controlled. The electrode arrangement can be determined according to the actual requirement. For example, the present embodiment is applicable to the in-plane switching technology (IPS), the fringe-field switching technology (FFS), the fringe and in-plane field switching technology (FIS) or other display technologies.

[0045] FIG. 4A to FIG. 4D are schematic views of a phase retardation value of a liquid crystal layer measured according to the invention.

[0046] By measuring the phase retardation value of the first liquid crystal layer and the second liquid crystal layer in the display medium layer in different directions, the thickness of the first liquid crystal layer and the thickness of the second liquid crystal layer are determined.

[0047] Referring to FIG. 4A, an electrode e1 and an electrode e2 are provided, an electric field E is formed in the display medium layer, and the direction of the electric field E is parallel with the y-axis. The first liquid crystal layer or the second liquid crystal layer is disposed between the electrode e1 and the electrode e2.

[0048] The phase retardation value of the first liquid crystal layer or the second liquid crystal layer in a direction D is measured. An included angle exists between the direction D and the z-axis, and an included angle exists between the projection of the direction D on a plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis and the x-axis.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 4B to FIG. 4D, the phase retardation values of the first liquid crystal layer in a first direction D1, a second direction D2 and a third direction D3 are respectively measured, and then are divided by the thickness of the first liquid crystal layer used during measuring, so that phase retardation values per unit thickness of the first liquid crystal layer in the first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 are obtained.

[0050] The phase retardation value per unit thickness of the first liquid crystal layer in the first direction D1 is a.sub.+1, the phase retardation value per unit thickness of the first liquid crystal layer in the second direction D2 is a.sub.+2, and the phase retardation value per unit thickness of the first liquid crystal layer in the third direction D3 is a.sub.+3.

[0051] The phase retardation values of the second liquid crystal layer in the first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 are respectively measured, and then are divided by the thickness of the second liquid crystal layer used during measuring, so that phase retardation values per unit thickness of the second liquid crystal layer in the first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 are obtained.

[0052] The phase retardation value per unit thickness of the second liquid crystal layer in the first direction D1 is a.sub.1, the phase retardation value per unit thickness of the second liquid crystal layer in the second direction D2 is a.sub.2, and the phase retardation value per unit thickness of the second liquid crystal layer in the third direction D3 is a.sub.3.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 1, assuming that the thickness of the first liquid crystal layer 200 is X, and the thickness of the second liquid crystal layer 300 is Y, in order to make the phase retardation values of the display medium layer LC in the first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 all close to or equal to /2 Formula 1, Formula 2 and Formula 3 below can be obtained:

a.sub.+1X+a.sub.1Y/2 [Formula 1]

a.sub.+2X+a.sub.2Y=/2 [Formula 2]

a.sub.+3X+a.sub.3Y/2 [Formula 3]

[0054] Formula 2 is subtracted from Formula 1 so as to obtain following Formula 4:

A.sub.1X+B.sub.1Y0 [Formula 4]

[0055] where A.sub.1is a.sub.+1a.sub.+2, and B.sub.1 is a.sub.1a.sub.2 .

[0056] Formula 2 is subtracted from Formula 3 so as to obtain following Formula 5:

A .sub.2X+B.sub.2Y0 [Formula 5]

[0057] where A.sub.2 is a.sub.+3a.sub.+2, and B.sub.2is a.sub.3a.sub.2.

[0058] The square of Formula 4 and the square of Formula 5 are then added so as to obtain following Formula 6:

(A.sub.1X+B.sub.1Y).sup.2+(A.sub.2X+B.sub.2Y).sup.20 [Formula 6]

[0059] The minimum solution of Formula 6 is obtained so as to obtain following Formula 7:

Y=(RPX)/Q [Formula 7 ]

[0060] Formula 7 is brought back to Formula 6 so as to obtain following Formula 8:

X=(E.sub.1F.sub.1+E.sub.2F.sub.2)/E.sub.1.sup.2+E.sub.2.sup.2 [Formula 8]

[0061] In Formula 8, E.sub.1is A.sub.1((B.sub.1P)/Q), E.sub.2 is A.sub.2((B.sub.2P)/Q), F.sub.1 is (B.sub.1R)/Q, and F.sub.2 is (B.sub.2R)/Q.

[0062] After X and Y values are obtained by means of the above Formulae 7 and 8, when the thickness of the first liquid crystal layer is 1.1X micrometers to 0.9X micrometers (preferably 1.065X micrometers to 0.935X micrometers), and the thickness of the second liquid crystal layer is 1.1Y micrometers to 0.9Y micrometers (preferably 1.065Y micrometers to 0.935Y micrometers), the problem that the viewing angle of the liquid crystal panel is limited can be solved. When the thickness of the first liquid crystal layer is 1.065X micrometers to 0.935X micrometers, and the thickness of the second liquid crystal layer is 1.065Y micrometers to 0.935Y micrometers, the problem that the viewing angle of the liquid crystal panel is limited can be further solved.

[0063] For example, an included angle 1 between the first direction D1 and the z-axis is 30 degrees to 50 degrees, an included angle 1 between the projection of the first direction D1 on the plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis and the x-axis is 10 degrees to 10 degrees, an included angle 2 between the second direction D2 and the z-axis is 10 degrees to 10 degrees, an included angle 2 between the projection of the second direction D2 on the plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis and the x-axis is 10 degrees to 10 degrees, an included angle 3 between the third direction D3 and the z-axis is 30 degrees to 50 degrees, and an included angle 3between the projection of the third direction D3 on the plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis and the x-axis is 80 degrees to 100 degrees. The phase retardation values a.sub.+1, a.sub.+2 and a.sub.3 of a unit thickness of the first liquid crystal layer are respectively 0.1418, 0.1455 and 0.1508, and the phase retardation values a.sub.1, a.sub.2 and a.sub.3 of a unit thickness of the second liquid crystal layer are respectively 0.1265, 0.108 and 0.0891. It can be calculated that X is 1.716 and Y is 0.415 by means of the above-mentioned Formulae 1 to 8.
