Full Description:
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
     This Non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 103112171 filed in Taiwan, Republic of China on Apr. 1, 2014, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Field of Invention 
     The invention relates to a display panel and a display device and, in particular, to a display panel and a display device which can reduce the color shift effect caused by the light leakage of pixel. 
     Related Art 
     With the progress of technologies, display devices have been widely applied to various kinds of fields. Especially, liquid crystal display (LCD) devices, having advantages such as compact structure, low power consumption and less radiation, gradually take the place of cathode ray tube (CRT) display devices, and are widely applied to various electronic products, such as mobile phones, portable multimedia devices, notebooks, LCD TVs and LCD screens. 
     A conventional LCD device mainly includes an LCD panel and a backlight module which are disposed opposite to each other. The LCD panel mainly includes a color filter (CF) substrate, a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate and a liquid crystal layer disposed between the two substrates. The CF substrate, the TFT substrate and the LC layer can form a plurality of pixel disposed in an array, and each of the pixels includes a plurality of LC molecules. The backlight module emits the light passing through the LCD panel, and the pixel of the LCD panel can display colors to form images accordingly. 
     Moreover, in a conventional LCD panel, the rotation of the LC molecules of the pixel is controlled to show the bright and dark gray-level variation by the electric field formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode. However, when a pixel is at the bright state and another pixel is at the dark state, the LC molecules of the dark-state pixel will be influenced by the electric field distribution of the bright-state pixel, and therefore the LC molecules of the dark-state pixel closer to the edge of the bright-state pixel will rotate accordingly. Hence, the dark-state pixel will undergo the light leakage effect, leading to the problems of color shift and less contrast of the LCD panel. 
     Therefore, it is an important subject to provide a display panel and a display device which can reduce the color shift problem caused by the light leakage of pixel to enhance the display quality. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     In view of the foregoing subject, an objective of the invention is to provide a display panel and a display device which can reduce the color shift problem caused by the light leakage of pixel to enhance the display quality. 
     To achieve the above objective, a display panel according to the invention includes a first substrate, a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate, a pixel array and a light-blocking layer.

The light-blocking layer is disposed on the second substrate along the first direction in a spacing manner and includes a first light-blocking portion and a second light-blocking portion. The first electrode layer is between the first light-blocking portion and the second light-blocking portion correspondingly. The first light-blocking portion has a first edge away from the first electrode layer along the first direction, and the electrode portions include a first electrode portion adjacent to the first light-blocking portion. When a light passes through the pixel, the pixel has a brightness distribution along the first direction, the brightness distribution, correspondingly between the first electrode portion and the first light-blocking portion, has a first brightness maximum that is corresponding to a first location on the second substrate, the minimum width from the first location to the first edge along the first direction is denoted by PTB, the width of the pixel along the first direction is denoted by Px, and PTB and Px conform to the following equation:

     Thereby, when the minimum width PTB from the first location on the second substrate to the first edge of the first light-blocking portion along the first direction and the width Px of the pixel along the first direction conform to the above equation, the color shift caused by the light leakage of the pixel can be reduced. Therefore, the display panel and device of the invention can reduce color shift caused by the light leakage of the pixel and thus enhance the display quality.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same references relate to the same elements. 
       FIG. 1A  is a schematic diagram of two adjacent pixels P 1 , P 2  of a display panel  1  according to an embodiment of the invention,  FIG. 1B  is a schematic sectional diagram of the display panel  1  taken along the line A-A in  FIG. 1A , and  FIG. 1C  is a schematic diagram of a first electrode layer  141  of the display panel  1 . 
     The display panel  1  is, for example but not limited to, a fringe field switching (FFS) LCD panel or another LCD panel of horizontal driving type. For the easier understanding,  FIG. 1A  just shows two scan lines S, three data lines D, two pixels P 1 , P 2 , two first electrode layers  141  and a light-blocking layer BM of the display panel  1 , and other elements of the display panel  1  are not shown. Moreover, a first direction X (horizontal direction), a second direction Y (vertical direction) and a third direction Z are shown in  FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C , and any two of them are perpendicular to each other. The first direction X is substantially parallel to the extending direction of the scan line S, the second direction Y is substantially parallel to the extending direction of the data line D, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. 
     The display panel  1  includes a first substrate  11 , a second substrate  12  and a liquid crystal layer  13 . The first substrate  11  and the second substrate  12  are disposed oppositely, and the liquid crystal layer  13  is disposed between the first substrate  11  and the second substrate  12 . Each of the first substrate  11  and the second substrate  12  is made by a transparent material, and can be a glass substrate, a quartz substrate or a plastic substrate for example. 
     The display panel  1  further includes a pixel array, which is disposed on the first substrate  11  and between the first substrate  11  and the second substrate  12 . The pixel array includes at least a pixel. Here for example, the pixel array includes a plurality of pixels, which are disposed between the first and second substrates  11  and  12  and in an array along the first and second directions X and Y. Besides, the display panel  1  can further include a plurality of scan lines S and a plurality of data lines D, and the scan lines S and the data lines D cross each other and are perpendicular to each other to define each pixel area of the pixel array. 
     By taking the pixel P 1  as an example, the pixel P 1  includes a first electrode layer  141 , a first insulation layer  142 , a second electrode layer  143  and a second insulation layer  144 . In this embodiment, the second insulation layer  144 , the second electrode layer  143 , the first insulation layer  142  and the first electrode layer  141  are sequentially disposed on the side of the first substrate  11  facing the second substrate  12  from bottom to top. 
     The data line D is disposed on the first substrate  11  and the second insulation layer  144  covers the data line D. The second electrode layer  143  is disposed on the second insulation layer  144 , and the first insulation layer  142  is disposed between the first electrode layer  141  and the second electrode layer  143  to separate the first electrode layer  141  from the second electrode layer  143  to avoid their short circuit. The material of the first and second insulation layers  142  and  144  may include SiOx, SiNx or other material for example, but the invention is not limited thereto. Each of the first and second electrode layers  141  and  143  is a transparent conductive layer, and the material thereof may include indium tin oxide (ITO) for example. In this embodiment, the first electrode layer  141  is a pixel electrode and electrically connected to the data line D, and the second elector delayer  143  is a common electrode. In other embodiments, however, the first electrode layer  141  can be a common electrode while the second electrode layer  143  is a pixel electrode. 
     The first electrode layer  141  includes a plurality of electrode portions  1411  and a first connection portion  1412 . Herein for example, the first electrode layer  141  includes three electrode portions  1411  and two first connection portions  1412 . The two first connection portions  1412  are disposed on the opposite sides of the electrode portions  1411  and electrically connected to the electrode portions  1411 . The electrode portions  1411  are spaced from each other and disposed along the first direction X. Herein, the electrode portions  1411  are spaced from each other and disposed parallelly along the first direction X. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1B , the display panel  1  can further include a light-blocking layer BM and a filter layer (not shown). The light-blocking layer BM is a black matrix. The light-blocking layer BM is disposed on the second substrate  12  along the first direction X in a spacing manner and disposed opposite to the data lines D. Herein, the light-blocking layer BM includes a first light-blocking portion BM 1  and a second light-blocking portion BM 2 . The light-blocking layer BM is made by opaque material, such as resin or metal (e.g. Cr, chromium oxide, or Cr—O—N compound) for example. In this embodiment, the light-blocking layer BM is disposed on the side of the second substrate  12  facing the first substrate  11  and over the data lines D along the third direction Z. Accordingly, the light-blocking layer BM covers the data lines D in a top view of the display panel  1 . 
     The filter layer is disposed on the side of the second substrate  12  and light-blocking layer BM facing the first substrate  11 , and at least a light-blocking portion exists between two adjacent filter portions. Since the light-blocking layer BM is opaque, an opaque area can be formed on the second substrate  12  so as to define a transparent area. Therefore, when the light passes through the pixels P 1 , P 2 , the pixels P 1 , P 2  will have a light-emitting area (the area of the pixels P 1 , P 2  permeable to light). Moreover, the display panel  1  can further include a protection layer (e.g. over-coating, not shown), which can cover the light-blocking layer BM and the filter layer. The protection layer can include photoresist material, resin material or inorganic material (e.g. SiOx/SiOx), protecting the light-blocking layer BM and the filter layer from being damaged during the subsequent processes. 
     When the scan lines S of the display panel  1  receive a scan signal sequentially, the TFT (not shown) corresponding to each of the scan lines S can be enabled. Then, the data signals can be transmitted to the corresponding pixel electrodes through the data lines D and the display panel  1  can display images accordingly. In this embodiment, the gray-level voltage can be transmitted to the first electrode layer  141  (pixel electrode) of each of the pixels through each of the data lines D, and an electric filed can be thus formed between the first electrode layer  141  and the second electrode layer  143  (common electrode) to drive the LC molecules of the LC layer  13  to rotate on the plane that is in the first and second directions X and Y. Therefore, the light can be modulated and the display panel  1  can display images accordingly. 
     However, when the electric field is formed between the first electrode layer  141  and the second electrode layer  143  to drive the LC molecules to rotate, in the two adjacent pixels P 1 , P 2  (the pixel P 1  is at the bright state while the pixel P 2  is at the dark state for example), the LC molecules of the dark-state pixel P 2  will be influenced by the electric field distribution of the bright-state pixel P 1 , so that the LC molecules of the dark-state pixel P 2  closer to the edge of the bright-state pixel P 1  will rotate accordingly, and therefore the dark-state pixel P 2  will undergo the light leakage effect, leading to the problems of color shift and less contrast of the LCD panel. Hence, the light-blocking range of the light-blocking layer BM needs to be defined to solve the said problems. 
       FIG. 2A  is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the pixels P 1 , P 2  of the display panel  1  in  FIG. 1B  and the corresponding brightness distribution curve L along the first direction X when the pixel P 1  is at the bright state and the pixel P 2  is at the dark state, and  FIG. 2B  is a schematic diagram showing the middle portion of each of the pixels P 1  and P 2  in  FIG. 2A  and the corresponding brightness distribution curve L. Herein,  FIG. 2B  shows the half structure of each of the pixels P 1  and P 2  and the corresponding brightness distribution curve L. Moreover, the brightness shown by the ordinate in  FIG. 2B  has been normalized (i.e. the maximum brightness is represented by the “unit  1 ”). Besides, the pixel P 1  being at the bright state indicates the pixel P 1  has the brightness of the brightest state, and that is to say the pixel P 1  is on the state of 100% gray-level brightness (i.e. the fully bright state). 
     As shown in  FIG. 2A , the first electrode layer  141  is between the first light-blocking portion BM 1  and the second light-blocking portion BM 2  correspondingly. The electrode portions  1411  include a first electrode portion  1411   a  adjacent to the first light-blocking portion BM 1  and a second electrode portion  1411   b  adjacent to the second light-blocking portion BM 2 . The first light-blocking portion BM 1  has a first edge E 1 , along the first direction X, away from the first electrode layer  141  (the first electrode portion  1411   a ), and the second light-blocking portion BM 2  has a second edge E 2 , along the first direction X, adjacent to the first electrode layer  141  (the second electrode portion  1411   b ). A pixel width Px is a width of the pixel P 1  along the first direction X. In other words, the width Px is the width from the first edge E 1  to the second edge E 2 , and can have a range as follows: 5 μm≦Px≦500 μm, for example. Otherwise, the width Px also can be the width between the middle of the first light-blocking portion BM 1  and the middle of the second light-blocking portion BM 2  along the first direction X. 
     When the light passes through the pixel P 1  to make the pixel P 1  the bright state and doesn&#39;t pass through the pixel P 2  to make the pixel P 2  the dark state, the pixel P 1  has a brightness distribution (i.e. the brightness distribution curve L) along the first direction X as shown in  FIG. 2A . Herein, the brightness distribution formed by the light passing through the pixel P 1  means the brightness distribution of the approximately middle portion of the pixel P 1  when the light passes through along the third direction Z. The brightness distribution curve L has a first maximum brightness between the first electrode portion  1411   a  and the first light-blocking portion BM 1 , and the first maximum brightness is corresponding to a first location X 1  on the second substrate  12 . Besides, the brightness distribution curve L has a second maximum brightness between the second electrode portion  1411   b  and the second light-blocking portion BM 2 , and the second maximum brightness is corresponding to a second location X 2  on the second substrate  12 . In this embodiment, the first location X 1  is located on the right side of the pixel P 1  of  FIG. 2A  and the second location X 2  is located on the left side of the pixel P 1  of  FIG. 2A . However, in other embodiments, the first location X 1  corresponding to the first maximum brightness and the second location X 2  corresponding to the second maximum brightness can interchange with each other. To be noted, the first location X 1  being between the first electrode portion  1411   a  and the first light-blocking portion BM 1  correspondingly indicates that the first location X 1  on the second substrate  12  can be within the left edge of the first electrode portion  1411   a  and the right edge (i.e. the first edge E 1 ) of the first light-blocking portion BM 1 , and that is the first location X 1  can be within the range of the first electrode portion  1411   a  or the range of the first light-blocking portion BM 1  along the first direction X. The second location X 2  being between the second electrode portion  1411   b  and the second light-blocking portion BM 2  correspondingly indicates that the second location X 2  on the second substrate  12  can be within the right edge of the second electrode portion  1411   b  and the left edge of the second light-blocking portion BM 2 , and that is the second location X 2  can be within the range of the second electrode portion  1411   b  or the range of the second light-blocking portion BM 2  along the first direction X. 
     The maximum width from the second location X 2  to the first location X 1  along the first direction X is denoted by “m”, and the width of the first light-blocking portion BM 1  (or the second light-blocking portion BM 2 ) along the first direction X is denoted by “B”. So, the minimum width PTB from the first location X 1  to the first edge E 1  along the first direction X is equal to (Px+B−m)/2, and the units of PTB, Px, B and m are all “μm”. 
     As shown in  FIG. 2B , when the pixel P 1  is at the bright state and the pixel P 2  is at the dark state, a part of the light will occur in the region of the pixel P 2  (the region C in  FIG. 2B ). So, as long as the area of the brightness distribution curve L corresponding to the pixel P 1  (P 1 W 1 +P 2 W 2 , the integral of the brightness distribution curve L represents the energy) is far greater than the area corresponding to the pixel P 2  (i.e. the area of the region C, P 2 D 1 ), the light leakage effect of the pixel P 2  can be lowered down to the least and the color shift caused by the light leakage of the pixel P 2  can be thus reduced. Specifically, it can be achieved if the ratio of the twice P 1 W 1  plus twice P 1 W 2  to the twice P 2 D 1  is great sufficiently. Herein, the level of the color shift is quantified by a defined parameter CR: CR=2(P 1 W 1 +P 1 W 2 )/2P 2 D 1 =(P 1 W 1 +P 1 W 2 )/P 2 D 1 . 
     The area of the P 1 W 1  in  FIG. 2B  is about a rectangle and denoted by “A” approximately equal to 1*(Px/2−t−B/2). The brightness distribution curve L from the location “zero” (i.e. the first location X 1 ) rightward to the infinity is equivalent to an exponential function: e −kx  (k is, for example but not limited to, 0.8). So,

     Generally, if the CR value is greater than or equal to 1000 (CR≧1000), the color shift caused by the light leakage is acceptable for the human eyes. Accordingly, the values of PTB (PTB=t+B, PTB is the minimum width from the first location X 1  to the first edge E 1  along the first direction X) and Px will conform to the following equation (showing the lower limit of PTB):

     As shown in  FIG. 2A , in the pixel P 1 , Px+B=PTB (left one)+m+PTB (right one). Theoretically the value of the left PTB is equal to the value of the right PTB, but they will be slightly different from each other due to the process factor in the practical process, so that the light leakage region uncovered by the light-blocking portion becomes larger, and therefore the CR value is decreased and thus influences the color shift. Hence, in consideration with the situation of the process factor (less than or equal to 5 μm in general), the upper limit of PTB is given to make the color shift acceptable, so that PTB and Px conform to the following equation:

       FIG. 3A  is a schematic diagram of a display panel  1   a  according to another embodiment of the invention,  FIG. 3B  is a schematic sectional diagram of the display panel  1   a  taken along the line B-B in  FIG. 3A , and  FIG. 3C  is a schematic diagram of the first electrode layer  141   a  in  FIG. 3B . Herein,  FIGS. 3A and 3B  just show a single pixel P 1   a.    
     As shown in  FIGS. 3A to 3C , the main difference between the display panels  1   a  and  1  is that the first electrode layer  141   a  of the display panel  1   a  is a common electrode while the second electrode layer  143  is a pixel electrode. As shown in  FIGS. 3B and 3C , the first electrode layer  141   a  includes three electrode portions  1411  and a second connection portion  1413 , and the second connection portion  1413  is disposed around the electrode portions  1411  and electrically connected with the electrode portions  1411 . The first insulation layer  142  covers the second electrode layer  143  and the data line D, and the first electrode layer  141   a  is disposed on the first insulation layer  142 . Herein, the first insulation layer  142  is disposed between the first electrode layer  141   a  and the second electrode layer  143  to separate the first electrode layer  141   a  from the second electrode layer  143  (and the data line D) to avoid the short circuit. 
       FIGS. 4A and 4B  are schematic diagrams showing pixels P 1   b , P 1   c  of the display panels  1   b ,  1   c  according to other embodiments of the invention, respectively. 
     As shown in  FIG. 4A , the main difference between the display panels  1   b  and  1  is that in the display panel  1   b  the second direction Y is still substantially parallel to the extending direction of the data line D but the first direction X and the second direction Y have an obtuse angle instead of being perpendicular to each other, so that the pixel P 1   b  is about a parallelogram. In other words, the scan lines S and the data lines D of the display panel  1   b  of this embodiment still cross each other but have an obtuse angle instead of being perpendicular to each other, so that the pixel P 1   b  and the first electrode layer  141   b  are substantially parallelograms. 
     As shown in  FIG. 4B , the main difference between the display panels  1   c  and  1  is that the data line D has a bending portion in the pixel P 1   c  of the display panel  1   c , so that the pixel P 1   c  is not a parallelogram but has a bending portion corresponding to the bending portion of the data line D. Moreover, the electrode portion  1411  of the first electrode layer  141   c  also has a bending portion corresponding to the pixel P 1   c.    
     Other technical features of the display panels  1   a ,  1   b ,  1   c  can be comprehended by referring to the display panel  1  and are omitted here therefore. 
       FIG. 5  is a schematic diagram of a display device  2  according to an embodiment of the invention. 
     As shown in  FIG. 5 , the display device  2  includes a display panel  3  and a backlight module  4  disposed opposite to the display panel  3 . The display panel  3  can be any of the above-mentioned display panels  1 ,  1   a ,  1   b ,  1   c  so the description thereof is omitted here. When the backlight module  4  emits the light passing through the display panel  3 , the pixels of the display panel  3  can display colors to form images accordingly. 
     Summarily, in the display panel and display device of the invention, the first electrode layer of the pixel of the display panel includes a plurality of electrode portions and is between the first light-blocking portion and the second light-blocking portion of the light-blocking layer correspondingly. The first light-blocking portion has a first edge away from the first electrode layer along the first direction, and the electrode portions include the first electrode portion adjacent to the first light-blocking portion. When the light passes through the pixel, the brightness distribution of the pixel along the first direction, correspondingly between the first electrode portion and the first light-blocking portion, has a first brightness maximum that is corresponding to the first location on the second substrate. The minimum width from the first location to the first edge along the first direction is denoted by PTB, and the width of the pixel along the first direction is denoted by Px, and PTB and Px conform to the following equation:

     Thereby, when the minimum width PTB from the first location on the second substrate to the first edge of the first light-blocking portion along the first direction and the width Px of the pixel along the first direction conform to the above equation, the color shift caused by the light leakage of the pixel can be reduced. Therefore, the display panel and device of the invention can reduce color shift caused by the light leakage of the pixel and thus enhance the display quality. 
     Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternative embodiments, will be apparent to persons skilled in the art. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claims will cover all modifications that fall within the true scope of the invention.
