Liquid crystal display panel development method
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal panel development method for a panel including first and second substrates and first and second electrodes with a display voltage applied to liquid crystal interposed therebetween. The method involves applying a voltage signal between the electrodes with an AC voltage component of amplitude Vac and a DC voltage component Vdc, changing Vac and Vdc to measure the range of optimal DC component variation ΔVdc, and determining a structure or material of the liquid crystal panel such that the range of optimal DC component variation ΔVdc becomes less than a given value. ΔVdc=|Vdcb —Vdcw|, where Vdcb is the Vdc value at the minimum range of transmittance variation when Vdc is changed with Vac being fixed for displaying black, and Vdcw is the Vdc value at the minimum range of transmittance variation when Vdc is changed with Vac being fixed for displaying white.
1. A liquid crystal panel development method, said liquid crystal panel comprising: first and second substrate, said first substrate including a first electrode, said first or second substrate including a second electrode, said first and second electrode being for a display voltage to be applied therebetween; and liquid crystal interposed between said first and second substrates; said method comprising the steps of:
applying a voltage signal between said first electrode and said second electrode, said voltage signal being composed of an AC voltage component and a DC voltage component Vdc, said AC voltage component having an amplitude Vac;
changing said amplitude Vac and said DC voltage component Vdc to measure the range of optimal DC component variation ΔVdc; and
determining a structure or material of said liquid crystal panel such that said range of optimal DC component variation ΔVdc becomes less than a given value;
wherein said range of optimal DC component variation ΔVdc is defined as ΔVdc=|Vdcb−Vdcw|,
wherein Vdcb is a value of said DC voltage component Vdc at which a range of transmittance variation is the minimum when said DC voltage component Vdc is changed with said amplitude Vac being fixed at a value for displaying black,
wherein Vdcw is a value of said DC voltage component Vdc at which a range of transmittance variation is the minimum when said DC voltage component Vdc is changed with said amplitude Vac being fixed at a value for displaying white.
2. The liquid crystal panel development method of claim 1 , wherein said given value is equal to or less than 0.5 V.
