Title: Liquid crystal panel and manufacturing method thereof

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates to the field of displaying technology, and in particular to a liquid crystal panel and a manufacturing method thereof. 
     2. The Related Arts 
     A liquid crystal display (LCD) comprises an enclosure, a liquid crystal panel arranged in the enclosure, and a backlight module mounted in the enclosure. The liquid crystal panel is composed of a color filter (CF) substrate, a thin-film transistor (TFT) array substrate, and a liquid crystal layer filled between the two substrates. The CF substrate and the TFT substrate have inside surfaces that face each other and are provided with transparent electrodes formed thereon. The liquid crystal display applies an electric field to control the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules so as to change the polarization state of light and uses a polarizer to selectively achieve transmission or blocking of a light path so as to achieve the purpose of displaying. 
     Active TFT-LCD display devices have recently made a greatly progress and have gained wide applications. The TFT-LCD liquid crystal panels that are available as the main stream in the market are classified in three categories, which are respectively twisted nematic/super twisted nematic (TN/STN) type, in-plane switching (IPS) type, and vertical alignment (VA) type. Although the operations that these three types of liquid crystal display panel take to control the liquid crystal displaying are different, the essential structures of them are similar and can be represented by the structure illustrated in FIG.  1 , which comprises a CF substrate  100 , a TFT substrate  200 , a top polarizer  110 , a bottom polarizer  210 , and a liquid crystal layer  300 . 
     However, the liquid crystal panel itself does not give off light and needs a backlight module to supply light. Since an LCD has low transmittance, most of the backlighting is simply wasted and the utilization of light of the LCD is low. The transmittance of an LCD being low is a result of various factors, including polarizer, color filter, and electrode, they exhibit an effect of shielding and absorbing light. To increase light utilization of an LCD, a field sequence color display mode has been proposed, in which a liquid crystal panel contains no color filter, while coloring is achieved by alternately and cyclically displaying multiple colors of R (Red), G (Green), and B (Blue), so that theoretically, light transmittance and light utilization can be increased by three times of the original level. However, the field sequence color display mode LCD requires an extreme fast response speed of the liquid crystal panel. Heretofore, a blue phase liquid crystal display is the only one that satisfies the requirement. However, the blue phase display suffers certain technical issues, including a narrow range of manufacturing process and a high driving voltage. It is thus desired to develop a novel fast-responding liquid crystal display mode. 
     A polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) display mode is a liquid crystal display mode in which a liquid crystal medium is dispersed in a polymer layer through a polymerization induced phase separation technique and scattering of incident light is controlled to adjust transmission of light. An essential structure of a liquid crystal panel applied to the PDLC display mode is illustrated in  FIGS. 2 and 3 , which comprises an upper glass substrate  10 , a lower glass substrate  20 , a liquid crystal layer  30  interposed between the upper and lower substrates  10 ,  20 , and other structures between the upper and lower substrates  10 ,  20 , such as an indium tin oxide (ITO) pixel electrode, a data signal line, a gate line, a photo spacer. Such a structure requires no polarizer. The liquid crystal layer  30  contains not only liquid crystal molecules, but also polymerizable monomers that are sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light. As shown in  FIG. 2 , before irradiation of UV light to the liquid crystal layer  30 , the liquid crystal molecules and the polymerizable monomers are distributed disorderly. As shown in  FIG. 3 , after irradiation of UV light to the liquid crystal layer  30 , the polymerizable monomers start up a polymerization reaction and form a polymer layer  302 , while the liquid crystal molecules form liquid crystal drops  303  distributed in the polymer layer  302 . As shown in  FIGS. 4-5 , the liquid crystal panel of the PDLC display mode comprises pixel electrodes that are constituted by parallel electrodes  101 ,  201  that are arranged on opposing inside surfaces of the upper and lower substrates  10 ,  20 . Application of a voltage between the parallel electrodes  101 ,  201  establishes a vertical electric field. As shown in  FIG. 4 , before the application of the voltage, the liquid crystal molecules contained the liquid crystal drops  303  are in a random arrangement, so that the incident light is subjected to refraction, reflection, and diffraction at interfaces between the liquid crystal drops  303  and the polymer layer  302  and randomly arranged liquid crystal molecules within the liquid crystal drops  303 , whereby the incident light that is generally in a collimated form is changed to a random scattered condition, making the panel showing a dark state of being obscure and hazy. As shown in  FIG. 5 , upon application of a voltage, the liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal drops  303  are acted upon by the electric field to align in the direction of the electric field so that the incident light is allowed to maintain the original travel direction, making the panel showing a transparent condition. 
     Since the liquid crystal panel of the PDLC display mode contains no polarizer, the dark state is simply scattering of light, but the brightness is still high. Thus, liquid crystal panels of this kind have a low contrast and reduced levels of gray scaling so that no application has been made to displaying of messages of a large amount, making them just suitable for low-end applications, such as a glass door of a shower room, a screen or window covering of an office, and an external glass wall of a building for adjusting light transmission or control of switching between a transparent condition and a non-transparent condition.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     To further expound the technical solution adopted in the present invention and the advantages thereof, a detailed description is given to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the attached drawings. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 6 and 7 , the present invention provides a liquid crystal panel, which comprises: a first substrate  1 , a second substrate  2  opposite to the first substrate  1 , a liquid crystal layer  3  between the first substrate  1  and the second substrate  2 , an upper polarizer  11  arranged on a surface of the first substrate  1  that is distant from the liquid crystal layer  3 , a lower polarizer  21  arranged on a surface of the second substrate  2  that is distant from the liquid crystal layer  3 , and a comb electrode  22  arranged on a surface of the second substrate  2  that is adjacent to the liquid crystal layer  3 . 
     Specifically, the first substrate  1  and the second substrate  2  are both glass substrates. The second substrate  2  further comprises data signal lines, thin-film transistor (TFT) switch lines, TFT switch devices, a black matrix, and photo spacers formed thereon. In other words, the second substrate  2  is similar to a TFT substrate of a conventional well-known liquid crystal panel. It is noted that the first substrate  1  comprises no color filter formed thereon and thus, compared to the conventional well-known liquid crystal panel, can reduce the effect of shielding and absorbing light thereby increasing light transmittance and utilization. 
     It is particularly mentioned here that the liquid crystal layer  3  is of a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal structure, which comprises a polymer layer  32  and liquid crystal drops  31  dispersed in the polymer layer  32 . The liquid crystal drops  31  are of an ellipsoidal form having a size of 20 nm-200 nm. In other words, the size of the liquid crystal drops  31  is less than visible light wavelength. 
     The comb electrode  22  functions to generate a horizontal electric field for driving liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal drops  31 . The comb electrode  22  is composed of pixel electrodes  221  and common electrodes  223 . The pixel electrodes  221  and the common electrodes  223  are arranged to be alternate with and spaced from each other in a horizontal direction. The pixel electrodes  221  and the common electrodes  223  are both transparent indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes. 
     As shown in  FIG. 7 , the upper polarizer  11  and the lower polarizer  21  have axes that are perpendicular to each other and are both slanted with respect to the comb electrode  22 . The formula of light transmittance according to the model that two polarizers having axes orthogonal to each other interpose therebetween a liquid crystal layer:

     where T indicates light transmittance, Ψ is an included angle between a major axis of liquid crystal and the axis of a polarizer, and ┌ represents phase delay of the liquid crystal layer. To maximum the light transmittance, the value of 2Ψ must be 90 and ┌ be 180°. Phase delay ┌ is controlled by electric field and Ψ is determined by the direction of electrode, this being that the direction of the electrode determines the distribution of the electric field and thus in turn determines the arranging direction of the liquid crystal after being affected by the electric field. The included angle Ψ is 45° for a design of optimum angle so that preferably, the axes of the upper polarizer  11  and the lower polarizer  21  are respectively set to form an included angle of 45 degrees with respect to the comb electrode  22 , whereby upon application of electrical voltage, the included angle between the major axis of liquid crystal and the axis of the polarizer is 45 degrees to ensure the desired light transmittance. 
     Further, the liquid crystal layer  3  is formed through ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation or heating of a mixture of polymerizable monomers and liquid crystal molecules. The polymerizable monomers take a percentage of 10-50% in the mixture and have the characteristics of generating polymerization reaction to form a substance that is solid state of high molecular weight and has excellent transparency, which can be, but not limited to one of acrylic ester and the derivatives thereof, methacrylate ester and the derivatives thereof, styrene and the derivatives thereof, epoxy resin and fatty amine epoxy curing agents or a composition thereof. 
     When UV light is used to irradiate the mixture of the polymerizable monomers and the liquid crystal molecules, to improve UV light polymerization efficiency, a photo initiator may be introduced. The photo initiator can be benzil dimethyl ketal, benophenone, or thioanthrone, which has a content of 0.01%-1% of the content of the polymerizable monomers. 
     The liquid crystal panel according to the present invention comprises an upper polarizer  11  and a lower polarizer  21  and contains liquid crystal drops  31  having a size less than the visible light wavelength so that the liquid crystal panel has a structure that is different from a conventional liquid crystal panel applicable to the PDLC display mode and is different in respect of operation process and operation principle. Referring to  FIGS. 8 and 9 , before application of voltage, the liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal drops  31  are arranged randomly so that when backlight transmits through the lower polarizer  21  to enter the liquid crystal layer  3 , since the size of the liquid crystal drops  31  is less than the visible light wavelength, even there is difference of refractivity, light may diffract around the inhomogeneous medium having small size and no phase difference will be induced so that light cannot pass through the upper polarizer  11  of which the axis is perpendicular to that of the lower polarizer  21  and the liquid crystal panel shows a dark state. For the conventional liquid crystal panel that is used with the PDLC display mode, before the application of voltage, as shown in  FIG. 4 , due to the influence of the interfacing between the liquid crystal drops  303  and the polymer layer  302 , as well as the random arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal drops  303  and the size of the liquid crystal drops  303  being greater than the visible light wavelength, incident light is changed by reflection, refraction, and scattering into a random disordered condition, whereby the panel shows an obscure hazy condition. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 10 and 11 , upon application of electrical voltage, the comb electrode  22  generates a horizontal electric field and the liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal drops  31  is acted upon by the horizontal electric field to rotate, whereby backlighting that transmits through the lower polarizer  21  to enter the liquid crystal layer  3  would generate a phase difference so as to be allowed to pass through the upper polarizer  11  of which the axis is perpendicular to that of the lower polarizer  21 . Under this condition, the liquid crystal panel shows a bright condition for displaying. Since the axes of the upper polarizer  11  and the lower polarizer  21  are each set to form an included angle of 45 degrees with respect to the comb electrode  22 , upon the application of voltage, the liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal drops  31  is oriented according to the direction of the electric field so that the major axis of the liquid crystal drops  31  form an included angle of 45 degrees with respect to the axis of the polarizer, providing an increased light transmittance. The conventional liquid crystal panel that is used for the PDLC display mode, upon application of voltage, as shown in  FIG. 5 , makes use of a vertical electrical field to have the major axis of the liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal drops  303  to coincide with the travel direction of the light in order to eliminate some of the scattering and thereby improving transparency. Correspondingly, the liquid crystal panel changes from the original obscure hazy condition to a transparent condition. 
     Assuming the liquid crystal panel of the present invention does not include the upper and lower polarizers  11 ,  21 , regardless if a voltage is applied, the liquid crystal panel is all in the transparent condition. However, before application of voltage, the liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal drops  31  are randomly arranged so as not to generate a macroscopic phase delay effect and only upon the application of voltage, the liquid crystal molecules contained in the liquid crystal drops  31  may be arranged in a unified direction to generate a phase delay effect. Manifestly, it is because of the inclusion of the upper and lower polarizers  11 ,  21  in the liquid crystal panel of the present invention that the contrast of the liquid crystal panel can be greatly improved. Further, since the size of the liquid crystal drops  31  is extremely small, this corresponding to that the thickness of a liquid crystal cell is extremely small, the response speed of the liquid crystal panel can be sped up. 
     It is noted that the liquid crystal panel of the present invention does not include a color filter and is thus applicable to a field sequence color display mode, so that it is necessary to use a dynamic blinking backlight of red, green, and blue or other different colors to achieve color displaying. 
     Referring to  FIGS. 12-14 , the present invention also provides a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal panel, which comprises the following steps: 
     Step 1: providing a first substrate  1  and a second substrate  2  opposite to the first substrate  1 , the first substrate  1  having a surface that is distant from the second substrate  2  and comprises an upper polarizer  11  arranged thereon, the second substrate  2  having a surface that is distant from the first substrate  1  and comprises a lower polarizer  21  arranged thereon, the second substrate  2  having a surface that is adjacent to the first substrate  1  and comprises a comb electrode  22  arranged thereon. 
     The first substrate  1  and the second substrate  2  are both glass substrate. The second substrate  2  is similar to a TFT substrate and further comprises data signal lines, TFT switch lines, TFT switch devices, a black matrix, and photo spacers formed thereon. 
     The comb electrode  22  is composed of pixel electrodes  221  and common electrodes  223 . The pixel electrodes  221  and the common electrodes  223  are arranged to be alternate with and spaced from each other in a horizontal direction. The pixel electrodes  221  and the common electrodes  223  are both transparent ITO electrodes. 
     The upper polarizer  11  and the lower polarizer  21  have axes that are perpendicular to each other and are both slanted with respect to the comb electrode  22 . Preferably, the axes of the upper polarizer  11  and the lower polarizer  21  are respectively set to form an included angle of 45 degrees with respect to the comb electrode  22 . 
     Step 2: as shown in  FIG. 13 , arranging a mixture  3 ′ of liquid crystal molecules and polymerizable monomers between the first substrate  1  and the second substrate  2 . 
     In the mixture  3 ′, the polymerizable monomers take a percentage of 10-50%. In the mixture  3 ′, the liquid crystal molecules and the polymerizable monomers are distributed in a non-ordered manner. 
     The polymerizable monomers have characteristics of generating polymerization reaction to form a substance that is solid state of high molecular weight and has excellent transparency, which can be, but not limited to one of acrylic ester and the derivatives thereof, methacrylate ester and the derivatives thereof, styrene and the derivatives thereof, epoxy resin and fatty amine epoxy curing agents or a composition thereof. 
     Step 3: as shown in  FIG. 14 , subjecting the mixture  3 ′ to UV irradiation or heating with a baking oven, ultrasonic wave, or infrared heating within a temperature range of −30° C. to 120° C. so as to induce a polymerization reaction of the polymerizable monomers to form a polymer layer  32  and liquid crystal drops  31  dispersed in the polymer layer  32 . 
     When UV light is used to irradiate the mixture  3 ′, to improve UV light polymerization efficiency, a photo initiator may be introduced. The photo initiator can be benzil dimethyl ketal, benophenone, or thioanthrone, which has a content of 0.01%-1% of the content of the polymerizable monomers. 
     The liquid crystal drops  31  are of an ellipsoidal form having a size of 20 nm-200 nm. In other words, the size of the liquid crystal drops  31  is less than visible light wavelength. 
     The polymer layer  32  and the liquid crystal drops  31  dispersed in the polymer layer  32  collectively form the liquid crystal layer  3 . 
     To this point, the manufacture of the liquid crystal panel for use in a field sequence color display mode is completed. 
     The liquid crystal panel manufactured with this method is applicable to a field sequence color display mode. And, since no color filter is included, compared to a conventional liquid crystal panel, the liquid crystal panel can reduce the effect of shielding and absorbing light and thus improving light transmittance and utilization. Due to the inclusion of the upper and lower polarizers  11 ,  21 , the contrast of the liquid crystal panel can be greatly improved. Further, since the size of the liquid crystal drops  31  is extremely small, this corresponding to that the thickness of a liquid crystal cell is extremely small, the response speed of the liquid crystal panel can be sped up. 
     In summary, the present invention provides a liquid crystal panel, which includes no color filter and comprises upper and lower polarizers that are additionally included on the basis of a conventional liquid crystal panel used for a PDLC display mode so that the liquid crystal panel shows increased contrast and also increases light transmittance and utilization. Further, since liquid crystal drops dispersed in the polymer layer is small, the liquid crystal panel has fast response speed and is applicable to a field sequence color display mode. The present invention also provides a manufacturing method of a liquid crystal panel, which provides a liquid crystal panel with an increased response speed, increased contrast, and improved light transmittance and utilization. 
     Based on the description given above, those having ordinary skills of the art may easily contemplate various changes and modifications of the technical solution and technical ideas of the present invention and all these changes and modifications are considered within the protection scope of right for the present invention.
