Liquid crystal display
View Patent ↗A TFT array panel on which both pixel electrodes and common electrodes are formed and a color filter panel is disposed opposing the array panel, and liquid crystals are interposed therebetween. The liquid crystals are aligned parallel to the two panels and driven by parallel electric field formed between the pixel electrodes and reference electrodes. Polarization films are arranged outsides the two panels, and a quasi-A plate compensation film is arranged between the color filter panel and the polarization film. An LCD according to the present invention includes first and second panels, a common electrode formed within the first or the second panel, a pixel electrode formed within the same panel as the common electrode is formed, a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second panels, a lower polarization film arranged under the first panel in which the first polarization film is arranged between the first and the second supporting bodies, and an upper polarization film arranged over the second panel in which the second polarization film is arranged between the third and fourth supporting bodies. Yellow shift in black state is also reduced and contrast ratio of side view is improved by minimizing Rth in supporting films or by using TEG polarization film having small Rth.
1. A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
upper and lower panels facing each other;
a liquid crystal layer interposed between the upper and the lower panel; and
upper and lower polarizer assemblies disposed on outer surfaces of the panels,
wherein the liquid crystal device controls liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer using a horizontal component of electric field,
wherein the upper and lower polarizer assemblies comprise a polarization film and supporting films disposed on both upper and lower surfaces of each polarization film and the two supporting films interposed between the polarization film and panel have Rth of 0 to 50 nm, and
wherein the liquid crystal display does not comprise an additional optical compensating film in addition to the upper and lower polarization assemblies, and
wherein the upper and lower polarization assemblies do not comprise an additional optical compensating film besides the supporting films.
2. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the two supporting films interposed between the polarization film and panel have Ro of 0 nm to 5 nm.
3. The liquid crystal display device of claim 1 , wherein the polarization films of the upper and lower polarizer assemblies include Triethylgallium (TEG).
