Abstract

A display panel including a first polarizer, a second polarizer, a first substrate, a second substrate, a liquid crystal layer, and a pixel array is provided. The pixel array disposed on the first substrate includes a pixel area wherein a pixel electrode is disposed. The pixel electrode includes a first main electrode, a second main electrode, which substantially perpendicularly intersecting for defining a first domain, a second domain, a third domain, and a fourth domain of the pixel area, and a plurality of branch electrodes separately connected to the first or the second main electrode. When a maximum voltage is applied to the display panel, the liquid crystal layer has an average Azimuthal Angle represented as y1, satisfying B1<y1<A1, A1=0.0000025x 3 −0.0013716x 2 +0.1847682x+41.6722409, and B1=−0.00001x 3 +0.003335x 2 −0.387814x+52.96697; wherein x represents the pixel per inch of the display panel.

Claims (18)

1. A display panel, comprising:

a second polarizer;

a first substrate disposed between the first polarizer and the second polarizer;

a second substrate disposed between the first substrate and the second polarizer;

a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; and

a pixel array disposed on the first substrate and comprises at least one pixel area, wherein a pixel electrode is disposed in the pixel area, and the pixel electrode comprises:

a first main electrode;

a second main electrode, wherein the first main electrode and the second main electrode are substantially perpendicularly intersecting for defining a first domain, a second domain, a third domain, and a fourth domain of the pixel area; and

a plurality of branch electrodes separately connected to the first main electrode or the second main electrode;

wherein when a light passes through the display panel, the first main electrode corresponds to a first dark line extending toward a first direction, a first branch electrode of the branch electrodes in the first domain corresponds to a second dark line extending toward a second direction, and the first direction and the second direction form at least a dark line angle, wherein the dark line angle satisfies E2<y2<C2, wherein C2=−0.0000088x 3 +0.00313x 2 −0.185729x +50.561052, E2=−0.0000091x 3 +0.0030973x 2 −0.2390017x+47.5311601, and y2 represents the dark line angle, x represents the pixel per inch (ppi) of the display panel, and x is 60-200.
