Abstract

The present invention relates to an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display, and more preciesly, an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display including an upper polarizing plate, a lower polarizing plate and a liquid crystal cell, designed to have wide viewing angle because the optical properties of the compensation film are determined by changes of the polarization state of liquid crystal alignment on a Poincare Sphere, and the contrast in the inclined visual direction is improved due to the configuration of a slow axis of a first and second compensation films, absorption axis of the polarizer, and the liquid crystal alignment.; The present invention can implement mass production of thin liquid crystal displays with high yield (reducing defect ratio due to foreign substances or impurities) since it is possible to ensure a wide viewing angle with only one sheet of compensation film for the upper polarizing plate and the lower polarizing plate.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal display capable of securing a wide viewing angle by improving contrast in oblique viewing directions. Background technique

[0002] Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are widely used as general image displays. Although it has various excellent characteristics, a narrow viewing angle is pointed out as a drawback.

[0003] The modes of liquid crystal displays can be classified according to the initial alignment of liquid crystal cells, the structure of electrodes, and the properties of liquid crystals, and the most commonly used modes of liquid crystal displays are twisted nematic (TN) mode, vertical alignment (VA) mode, and in-plane switching ( IPS) mode.

[0004] In addition, according to whether it transmits light when no voltage is received, it is divided into normally black mode and normally white mode. According to the area and initial arrangement of the liquid crystal, the VA...

example 1

[0087] According to the actual measured data of each optical film of the present invention, liquid crystal cell and backlight module with figure 1 The stacked structure shown was applied to TECH WIZ LCD 1D (Sanayi System Co., Ltd., Korea). described in detail below figure 1 Structure.

[0088] Starting from the backlight module 40 side, a lower polarizing plate 20, an in-plane switching mode liquid crystal cell 30 (when no voltage is applied, the liquid crystal cell has a 0 ° liquid crystal alignment) and the upper polarizing plate 10, wherein the lower polarizing plate 20 is formed by laminating the second compensation film 24, the polarizing plate 21 and the protective film 23 from the liquid crystal cell 30 side, and the lower polarizing plate 20 is formed by laminating the second compensation film 24 from the liquid crystal cell 30 side. A compensation film 14 , polarizing plate 11 and protective film 13 form the upper polarizing plate 10 .

[0089] As for the liquid cr...
