Problems solved by technology

However, in the method described in the above-mentioned known documents, due to the wavelength dispersion characteristics of the liquid crystal material and the inner surface retardation layer material, there is a problem of so-called coloring in reflective black display, making it difficult to achieve high contrast.
[0008] In addition, in Non-Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 2, and Non-Patent Document 3, since the internal retardation layer is also formed in the transmissive display area, in terms of optical design, a retardation plate is required on the outside of the substrate, so there is a transmissive display. The narrowing of the field of view and other problems

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0041] Hereinafter, a liquid crystal display device according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The liquid crystal display device of the present embodiment adopts the method called FFS (Fringe Field Switching, fringe field switching) among the lateral electric field methods that perform image display by applying an electric field (lateral electric field) in the direction of the substrate surface to the liquid crystal and controlling the alignment. ) mode of the liquid crystal display device.

[0042] In addition, the liquid crystal display device of this embodiment is a color liquid crystal display device provided with a color filter on a substrate, and three sub-pixels for emitting light of each color of R (red), G (green), and B (blue) constitute a 1 pixels. Therefore, a display area constituting the smallest unit constituting a display is referred to as a "sub-pixel area", and a display area composed of a set o...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0078] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 5 (a) is a plan view of an arbitrary sub-pixel region of the liquid crystal display device 200; Figure 5 (b) is a diagram showing the arrangement of optical axes in (a) . Figure 6 is along Figure 5 Partial sectional view of line D-D' in (a).

[0079] The liquid crystal display device 200 of this embodiment has substantially the same basic configuration as that of the liquid crystal display device 100 of the first embodiment, and is different from the liquid crystal display device 100 in that both the pixel electrodes 9 and the common electrodes 19 are formed in a substantially comb-like shape in plan view. Strip-shaped electrodes (branch electrodes) extending in a rod shape constituting the comb-tooth portion of these combs are arranged at points on the same layer so as to mesh with each other. Also, in Figure 5 , Figure 6 ,and Figure 7 in, right and ...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0108] Second, refer to Figure 8A third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The liquid crystal display device 300 of the present embodiment has the same basic configuration as that of the liquid crystal display device of the first embodiment, and the only difference is that a resin layer 23 and a phase region are laminated on the color filter 22 in a region corresponding to the reflective display region R. The point of poor layer 21. Therefore, the plan view, optical axis arrangement, and the like in one sub-pixel region are completely the same as those in the first embodiment, so they are omitted. and, in Figure 8 in, right and from Figure 1 to Figure 4 The same constituent elements of the liquid crystal display device 100 shown in FIG.

[0109] Figure 8 It is a partial cross-sectional configuration diagram of the liquid crystal display device 300 of the present embodiment. The cross-sectional structure shown in the figure corresponds to the ima...

Abstract

The invention provides a transverse electric field mode liquid crystal display device, which can provide high-contrast display without being colored upon reflective display, and can also provide high-contrast display with a wide-viewing angle upon transmissive display. The liquid crystal display device is a transflective liquid crystal display device, in which a pixel electrode 9 and a common electrode 19 are provided on a side of a TFT array substrate 10 facing a liquid crystal layer 50, the liquid crystal layer 50 is driven by means of an electric field generated between the pixel electrode 9 and the common electrode 19, and a reflective display area R for reflective display and a transmissive display area T for transmissive display are formed in a sub-pixel area. The thickness of the liquid crystal layer 50 in the reflective display area R is smaller than the thickness of the liquid crystal layer 50 in the transmissive display area T. A retardation layer 21 is selectively formed in an area, corresponding to the reflective display region R, on a side of the liquid crystal layer 50 of the counter substrate 20.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device and electronic equipment. Background technique [0002] As a kind of mode of liquid crystal display device, the mode (hereinafter referred to as lateral electric field mode.) of the orientation control of liquid crystal molecule is known by applying the electric field of substrate surface direction in liquid crystal layer; It is called an IPS (In-Plane Switching, in-plane switching) method, an FFS (Fringe-Field Switching, fringe field switching) method, and the like because of the configuration.
