Liquid crystal display panel
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display panel is provided and includes a pair of substrates arranged face to face so as to sandwich a liquid crystal layer, a lower electrode formed on a lower substrate, an upper electrode formed on the lower substrate through an insulating layer, in which plural slits are formed in each sub-pixel, wherein each of the plural slits is formed as an aperture in which both ends thereof in the longitudinal direction are closed, and an alignment film formed so as to cover a surface of the upper electrode and the insulating layer. The plural slits have different widths at both ends of slits in a longitudinal direction, and a rubbing direction of the alignment film is a direction crossing longitudinal edges of each of the slits.
1. A liquid crystal display panel comprising:
a pair of substrates arranged face to face so as to sandwich a liquid crystal layer;
a lower electrode formed on a lower substrate;
an upper electrode formed on the lower substrate through an insulating layer, in which plural slits are formed in each sub-pixel, wherein each of the plural slits is formed as an aperture in which both ends thereof in the longitudinal direction are closed; and
an alignment film formed so as to cover a surface of the upper electrode and the insulating layer,
wherein the plural slits have different widths at both ends of the slits in a longitudinal direction, and each of the longitudinal edges of each of the slits has two parts which extend in directions different from each other, and
wherein a rubbing direction of the alignment film is a direction crossing each of the two parts of the longitudinal edges of each of the slits.
2. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein each of the plural slits is made to be symmetrical with respect to a central axis in a long edge direction.
3. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein edges of the slit along the longitudinal direction are formed to be asymmetrical with respect to an axis corresponding to the longitudinal direction of the slit.
4. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the slit has a folding portion at which edges of the slit along the longitudinal direction of the slit are folded in a direction in which the edges are apart from each other.
5. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein plural pairs of slits are included, in which slits in each pair have different shapes respectively.
6. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 5 ,
wherein the slits in each pair having the same shape are arranged to be inverted with respect to each other at a central axis in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the slits.
7. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 6 ,
wherein the slits in each pair are formed so that edges of adjacent slits along the longitudinal direction are parallel to each other.
8. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 5 ,
wherein the slits in each pair having different shapes are arranged to be inverted with respect to each other at a central axis in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the slits.
9. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 8 ,
wherein the slits in each pair are formed so that edges of adjacent slits along the longitudinal direction are parallel to each other.
10. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 5 ,
wherein the slits in each pair are formed so that edges of adjacent slits along the longitudinal direction are parallel to each other.
11. The liquid crystal display panel according to claim 1 ,
wherein the rubbing direction of the alignment film is different from a direction in which each of the slits extend.
