Solution Overview

Problem

Low Temperature Poly Silicon (LTPS) display panels suffer from large view angle color washout due to light interference between adjacent pixels, degrading display quality when viewed from angles.

Innovation Solution

A matrix electrode is positioned on the color film substrate close to the liquid crystal layer and coupled to the common electrode signal, eliminating voltage differences and maintaining the liquid crystal layer in an opaque state, thus preventing light interference between pixels.

AI summary

The present invention provides a display panel and a manufacture method thereof. By locating the matrix electrode corresponding to the black matrix on one side of the color film substrate, which is close to the liquid crystal layer, and because the matrix electrode is coupled to the common electrode signal, no voltage difference exists between the matrix electrode and the common electrode, and no matter in condition of being electrified or not electrified, the liquid crystal layer between the matrix electrode and the common electrode of the array substrate is not orientated and constantly appears in an opaque state so that no interference generates to light between adjacent pixels of the panel to eliminate the large view angle color washout of the panel and to improve the display quality of the LTPS display panel.
