Abstract

An MVA LCD including an active device array substrate, an opposite substrate and a liquid crystal layer is provided. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the active device array substrate and the opposite substrate, the active device array substrate has pixel units, and the liquid crystal layer above each pixel unit is divided into several domain sets. Each domain set includes at least four domains having the same size, and at least the size of one of the domains in a domain set is different from the size of one of the domains in another domain set.

Claims (30)

1. A multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display panel (MVA LCD), comprising:

an active device array substrate, having a plurality of pixel units;

an opposite substrate; and

a liquid crystal layer, disposed between the active device array substrate and the opposite substrate, the liquid crystal layer above each pixel unit divides a plurality of domain sets, wherein each domain set comprises at least four domains having the same or similar size, and at least a size of one of the domains in a domain set is different from a size of one of the domains in another domain set,

wherein a same pixel unit has two domain sets which respectively have six domains, and the two domains are arranged in a row and are symmetrical in shape.

2. The MVA LCD as claimed in claim 1 , wherein four domains having the same or similar size are arranged in two pairs in a form of <<.

3. The MVA LCD as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of first bumps, disposed on the active device array substrate; and

a plurality of second bumps, disposed on the opposite substrate, and the first bumps and the second bumps jointly divide the domains.

4. The MVA LCD as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the pixel units further comprises:

an active device, disposed on a substrate;

a pixel electrode, electrically connected to the active device; and

a plurality of first humps, disposed on the pixel electrode to divide the domains.

5. The MVA LCD as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the opposite substrate comprises:

a substrate material;

a common electrode layer, disposed on the substrate material; and

a plurality of second bumps, disposed on the common electrode layer to divide the domains.

6. The MVA LCD as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of first slits, disposed on a pixel electrode of each pixel unit; and

a plurality of second slits, disposed between a common electrode layer of the opposite substrate, and the first slits and the second slits jointly divide the domains.

7. The MVA LCD as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the pixel units further comprises:

an active device, disposed on a substrate;

a pixel electrode, electrically connected to the active device; and

a plurality of first slits, disposed on the pixel electrode to divide the domains.

8. The MVA LCD as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the opposite substrate comprises:

a substrate material;

a common electrode layer, disposed on the substrate material; and

a plurality of second slits, disposed on the common electrode layer to divide the domains.

9. The MVA LCD as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the domains of each domain set comprises all types of domains.

10. The MVA LCD as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the areas of the domains set in the same pixel unit are different.
