Abstract

Systems for displaying images are provided. A representative system comprises a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel. A liquid crystal display panel includes a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer therebetween. A first biaxial 1/4λ compensation film is interposed between a first polarizer and the first substrate. A second biaxial 1/4λ compensation film is interposed between a second polarizer and the second substrate. The first and second biaxial 1/4λ compensation films comply with N z1 +N z2 =1, where N z =(n x −n z )/(n x −n y ), n x , n y , n z each represent refraction index of x, y, z axes of the compensation films, and N z1 and N z2 each represent biaxial factor of the first and second biaxial 1/4λ compensation films.

Claims (35)

1 . A system for displaying images comprising:

a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel comprising:

a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer therebetween;

a first biaxial 1/4λ compensation film disposed on the outer surface of the first substrate; and

a second biaxial 1/4λ compensation film disposed on the outer surface of the second substrate;

wherein the first and second biaxial 1/4λ compensation films comply with N z1 +N z2 =1, where N z =(n x −n z )/(n x −n y ), n x , n y , n z each represent refraction index of x, y, z axes of the compensation films, and N z1 and N z2 each represent biaxial factor of the first and second biaxial 1/4λ compensation films.

2 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the LCD panel comprises a vertical alignment LCD panel.

3 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a slow axis of the first biaxial 1/4λ compensation film and a slow axis of the second biaxial 1/4λ compensation film are perpendicular to each other.

4 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a first polarizer disposed outside the first substrate opposing the liquid crystal layer; and

a second polarizer disposed outside the second substrate opposing the liquid crystal layer.

5 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising a biaxial 1/2λ compensation film interposed between the first polarizer and the first 1/4λ compensation film.

6 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising:

a C-axis compensation film and an A-axis compensation film interposed between the first polarizer and the biaxial 1/4λ compensation film,

wherein the A-axis compensation film is directly disposed with the first polarizer.

7 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first polarizer and the second polarizer comprise a circular polarizer.

8 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a controller coupled to the liquid crystal display panel to control the panel to render an image in accordance with an input.

9 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising an input device coupled to the controller of the liquid crystal display device to control the display device to render an image.

10 . A system for displaying images comprising:

a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel comprising:

a first substrate, a second substrate, and a liquid crystal layer therebetween;

a first biaxial 1/4λ compensation film disposed on the outer surface of the first substrate;

a second biaxial 1/4λ compensation film disposed on the outer surface of the second substrate;

a first polarizer disposed outside the first substrate opposing the liquid crystal layer; and

a second polarizer disposed outside the second substrate opposing the liquid crystal layer;

wherein the first and second biaxial 1/4λ compensation films comply with N z1 +N z2 =1, where N z =(n x −n z )/(n x −n y ), n x , n y , n z each represent refraction index of x, y, z axes of the compensation films, and N z1 and N z2 each represent biaxial factor of the first and second biaxial 1/4λ compensation films.

11 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the LCD panel comprises a vertical alignment LCD panel.

12 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a slow axis of the first biaxial 1/4λ compensation film and a slow axis of the second biaxial 1/4λ compensation film are perpendicular to each other.

13 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising a biaxial 1/2λ compensation film interposed between the first polarizer and the first 1/4λ compensation film.

14 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the first polarizer and the second polarizer comprise a circular polarizer.

15 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising:

a C-axis compensation film and an A-axis compensation film interposed between the first polarizer and the biaxial 1/4λ compensation film,

wherein the A-axis compensation film is directly disposed with the first polarizer.

16 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising a controller coupled to the liquid crystal display panel to control the panel to render an image in accordance with an input.

17 . The system for displaying images as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising an input device coupled to the controller of the liquid crystal display device to control the display device to render an image.
