Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Flüssigkristall- Anzeigevorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentan spruchs 1.The present invention relates to a liquid crystal Display device according to the preamble of the patent saying 1.
Flüssigkristall-Anzeigevorrichtungen (LCD) der vorge nannten Art sind z. B. aus der DE-AS 21 58 563 bekannt. Solche LCD sind transmissiv, reflektiv oder bei Verwen dung eines teildurchlässigen Spiegels transflektiv betreibbar. Je nach Ausrichtung der beiden Polfilter zueinander können diese LCD in Negativ- oder Positivdar stellung (hell auf dunkel oder dunkel auf hell) betrie ben werden.Liquid crystal display devices (LCD) of the pre named type are z. B. from DE-AS 21 58 563 known. Such LCDs are transmissive, reflective or when used transflective mirror operable. Depending on the orientation of the two polarizing filters to each other, these LCDs can be in negative or positive position (light on dark or dark on light) be.
Als nachteilig, insbesondere bei Betrachtung unter größerem Blickwinkel und insbesondere bei transflektivem Betrieb in Negativdarstellung erweist es sich, daß eine Hintergrundfarbigkeit (schillernde Mehrfarbigkeit) störend in Erscheinung tritt.As a disadvantage, especially when considering below larger viewing angle and especially with transflective Operation in negative, it turns out that a Background color (iridescent multicolor) is disruptive.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei LCD′s der eingangs genannten Art die Hintergrund farbigkeit und die Restlichttransmission, insbesondere bei Negativdarstellung und bei transflektivem Betrieb zu verringern.The present invention is based on the object in LCD's of the type mentioned the background color and residual light transmission, in particular with negative display and with transflective operation too reduce.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Patent anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This task is accomplished by the in the hallmark of the patent claims 1 specified features solved.
Die beschriebene Erfindung bewirkt in vorteilhafter Weise eine Verringerung der Hintergrundfarbigkeit von nematischen Drehzellen (TN-Zellen) mit einem Verdrill winkel von nicht mehr als 90 Winkelgraden. Vorteilhaft macht sich bemerkbar, daß insbesondere bei LCD in Nega tivdarstellung (hell auf dunklem Grund) die Restlicht transmission verringert wird, was zu einer Verbesserung des Kontrastes führt. Weiter hat sich gezeigt, daß die Hintergrundfarbe weitgehend temperaturunabhängig ist.The described invention has an advantageous effect Way a decrease in background color from nematic rotary cells (TN cells) with a twist angles of no more than 90 degrees. Advantageous is noticeable that especially in LCD in Nega tive display (bright on a dark background) the residual light transmission is reduced, resulting in an improvement of contrast leads. It has also been shown that the Background color is largely independent of temperature.
Anhand des in der Figur schematisch dargestellten Aus führungsbeispiels wird die Erfindung nachfolgend näher erläutert.Using the Aus shown schematically in the figure The invention is described in more detail below explained.
Die Figur zeigt eine Flüssigkristallzelle 4 vom TN-Typ (twisted nematic) mit einem Verdrillwinkel von nicht mehr als 90 Winkelgraden, die sich im Strahlengang zwischen zwei linearen Polfiltern 3 und 6 befindet. Dargestellt ist ein transmissiver Betrieb, bei dem das Licht einer Lichtquelle 1 durch die Flüssigkristall-An zeigevorrichtung hindurch zu einem Betrachter 2 gelangt bzw. nicht gelangt je nach Art der elektrischen Ansteue rung der Flüssigkristallzelle 5.The figure shows a liquid crystal cell 4 of the TN type (twisted nematic) with a twist angle of not more than 90 degrees, which is located in the beam path between two linear polarizing filters 3 and 6 . A transmissive operation is shown in which the light from a light source 1 passes through the liquid crystal display device to a viewer 2 or does not come depending on the type of electrical control of the liquid crystal cell 5 .
Bei einem bevorzugten transflektiven Betrieb befindet sich noch ein nicht dargestellter teildurchlässiger Spiegel zwischen der Lichtquelle 1 und dem ersten Pol filter 3.In a preferred transflective operation there is still a partially transparent mirror (not shown) between the light source 1 and the first pole filter 3 .
Gemäß der Erfindung ist nun zwischen dem ersten Polfil ter 3 und der Flüssigkristallzelle 5 doppelbrechendes Material 4 in Form einer Schicht oder einer Platte vorgesehen. Das Doppelbrechungsvermögen dieses Materials ist derart gewählt, daß der Anteil der Rotationsdoppel brechung, die das Licht beim Durchtritt durch die Flüs sigkristallzelle 5 erfährt, im wesentlichen aufgehoben wird.According to the invention, birefringent material 4 in the form of a layer or a plate is now provided between the first Polfil ter 3 and the liquid crystal cell 5 . The birefringence of this material is chosen such that the fraction of the rotational birefringence, which the light experiences when it passes through the liquid crystal cell 5 , is essentially eliminated.
Ein solches Material ist z. B. eine zweite Flüssigkristall zelle oder eine definiert doppelbrechende Kunstoffolie.Such a material is e.g. B. a second liquid crystal cell or a defined birefringent plastic film.
Das doppelbrechende Material 4 kann auf der Oberfläche des ersten Polfilters 3 oder auf der Oberfläche der Flüssigkristallzelle 5 angeordnet sein. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, daß dieses doppelbrechende Material 4 als die zugewandten Oberflächen des ersten Polfilters 3 und der Flüssigkristallzelle 5 verbindendes Material ausgebildet ist.The birefringent material 4 can be arranged on the surface of the first polarizing filter 3 or on the surface of the liquid crystal cell 5 . Another possibility is that this birefringent material 4 is designed as the material connecting the facing surfaces of the first polarizing filter 3 and the liquid crystal cell 5.
