Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of liquid crystal display technology, and more specifically, relates to a fast-response black-and-white reflective liquid crystal display and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] Thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs) include transmissive and reflective liquid crystal displays. Transmissive LCDs were developed first, featuring a backlight built into the back of the display and display electrodes made of transparent conductive materials such as ITO (Indium Tin Oxides). However, the backlight used in transmissive LCDs is one of their most power-consuming components, requiring batteries for power, resulting in high power consumption. Furthermore, transmissive LCDs exhibit glare when used outdoors, especially in sunlight, leading to reduced contrast and unclear image display. Reflective LCDs were thus developed to address this issue. Their light source utilizes external natural or artificial light, requiring a reflective layer to reflect the incoming light. Traditionally, display electrodes are used as the reflective layer, made of conductive materials that reflect light, typically aluminum. The surface of the display electrodes is textured to increase light reflection.

[0003] In liquid crystal displays (LCDs), traditional twisted nematic (TN) LCDs are the most widely used, and most have a single-area structure. However, currently common reflective and transmissive LCDs are mostly RTN (reflective twisted nematic) LCDs and MTN-LCDs (mixed mode TN-LCDs), requiring cross-polarizing films and compensation films on the outside of the LCD screen. This results in inherent viewing angle defects in transmissive mode, approximately 40 degrees horizontally and 30 degrees vertically. Furthermore, their contrast ratio is very low, only about 15:1 to 50:1, and their color dispersion is poor, making them difficult to apply in high-quality products. In addition, the directional friction technology used in the manufacturing process presents problems related to electrostatic discharge and dust contamination. Therefore, designing an LCD that can simply and efficiently achieve power saving and anti-glare requirements has become a pressing issue for the industry. Summary of the Invention

[0051] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0052] This application provides a fast-response monochrome reflective liquid crystal display.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the fast-response monochrome reflective liquid crystal display includes a first transparent conductive substrate, a second transparent conductive substrate, a liquid crystal layer 200, a transparent microstructure array, an alignment layer, and a primer layer 500. Specifically, the first transparent conductive substrate includes a first transparent substrate 110 and a first conductive layer 120; the second transparent conductive substrate includes a second transparent substrate 130 and a second conductive layer 420; the first transparent substrate 110 and the second transparent substrate 130 are disposed at a distance from each other, the first conductive layer 120 is disposed on the side of the first transparent substrate 110 facing the second transparent substrate 130, and the second conductive layer 420 is disposed opposite to the first conductive layer 120. The liquid crystal layer 200 is located between the first transparent conductive substrate and the second transparent conductive substrate; the liquid crystal cavity of the liquid crystal layer 200 is divided into a plurality of display areas 210, and each display area 210 is filled with cholesteric liquid crystal. A transparent microstructure array is disposed on the first conductive layer 120, comprising multiple arrayed transparent microstructure units 310. Each display area 210 contains one transparent microstructure unit 310, which is arranged in a transparent convex shape protruding towards the second conductive layer 420. The alignment layer includes a first alignment layer 410 and a second alignment layer 140 with a vertical alignment agent. The first alignment layer 410 is disposed on the convex surface of the transparent microstructure unit 310 facing the second conductive layer 420, and the second alignment layer 140 is sandwiched between the liquid crystal layer 200 and the second conductive layer 420. A primer layer 500 is disposed on the side of the first transparent substrate 110 facing away from the second transparent substrate 130, and an opaque black ink layer is disposed on the primer layer 500.

[0054] It should be noted that the display material used in this application is cholesteric liquid crystal, a chiral nematic liquid crystal with bistable properties. Under normal conditions, it is colorless and nearly transparent. Since the primer layer 500 is opaque black, a black background is presented. Under sufficient electric field force, the liquid crystal molecules tilt along the surface of the microstructure, entering a display state. That is, when electricity is applied, the liquid crystal exhibits a reflective state, and under the anchoring effect of the transparent microstructure unit 310, the reflection spectrum broadens, thus presenting white and creating contrast.

[0055] Based on this design, in this embodiment, the fast-response monochrome reflective liquid crystal display has the following advantages: First, since this fast-response monochrome reflective liquid crystal display uses cholesteric liquid crystal with its own color as the display material, it eliminates the need for components such as polarizers, and also eliminates the need for the orientation friction process of the alignment layer, making the device structure of the liquid crystal display simpler, lower in cost, and ultra-thin; Second, this fast-response monochrome reflective liquid crystal display has a viewing angle range of over 160 degrees, and the sum of the rise and fall response times in grayscale display is less than 30 milliseconds, with no color shift; Third, by using a transparent microstructure array in conjunction with a vertical orientation agent on the alignment layer, the reflection spectrum of the cholesteric liquid crystal can be effectively broadened, thereby achieving a monochrome effect. In summary, this fast-response monochrome reflective liquid crystal display, by directly using cholesteric liquid crystal as the display material, simultaneously using a transparent microstructure array composed of multiple transparent microstructure units 310 to create an uneven surface, and then utilizing the anchoring effect of the vertical orientation agent in the alignment layer, has the advantages of broadening the reflection spectrum, widening the viewing angle, low cost, low power consumption, and ultra-thinness.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 The fast-response monochrome reflective liquid crystal display also includes a bezel 220 and spacers 230. The bezel 220 has a first conductive layer 120 and a second alignment layer 140 connected to its two ends, respectively; the bezel 220 encloses a liquid crystal cavity. The spacers 230 have a first conductive layer 120 and a second alignment layer 140 connected to their two ends, respectively. Multiple spacers 230 are located within the liquid crystal cavity to divide it into multiple isolated display areas 210. Specifically, in this embodiment, the spacers 230 are preferably uniformly distributed, with a density preferably ranging from 60 to 220 per square centimeter. They are surrounded by chiral nematic liquid crystal, specifically cholesteric liquid crystal, with a thickness preferably ranging from 4µm. Furthermore, the first alignment layer 410 and the second alignment layer 140 use vertically aligned vertical alignment agents, thus eliminating friction. The thickness of the first transparent substrate 110 is preferably 0.7mm.

[0057] It should be noted that the spacer 230 is preferably made of positive or negative polypropylene ester, and the cross-sectional shape of the spacer 230 is one of square, circular or rectangular, with a diameter preferably from 10µm to 20µm, and the spacing between two adjacent spacers 230 is from 200µm to 600µm.

[0058] It should be noted that the transparent microstructure unit 310 is preferably made of one of polyacrylate, epoxy acrylate resin, or polyimide acrylate, and is manufactured using one of the following methods: transfer printing, nanoimprinting, photolithography, or inkjet printing.

Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the transparent microstructure unit 310 is circular, and its thickness is preferably 0.1µm to 1µm.

[0059] Furthermore, the first conductive layer 120 is made of indium tin oxide or nanowires, and the spacing between the first conductive layer 120 and the second conductive layer 420 is preferably 3µm to 6µm.
