Referring to fig. 1a to 1g, the present disclosure provides a liquid crystal display panel 1 including: a first substrate base plate 11 and a second substrate base plate 12 which are disposed oppositely. The materials of the first substrate board 11 and the second substrate board 12 are, for example, the same, for example, both are glass, but may be different, and the disclosure is not limited thereto.
And a liquid crystal layer 14 disposed between the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12. The liquid crystal layer 14 includes a first alignment film 141 and a second alignment film 142 that are oppositely disposed, and a second liquid crystal molecule layer 140 between the first alignment film 141 and the second alignment film 142. The first alignment film 141 is configured to anchor a portion of the second liquid crystal molecules 140 'close to the first alignment film 141 in the second liquid crystal molecule layer 140, so that the portion of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' close to the first alignment film 141 generates a first pretilt angle α; the second alignment film 142 is configured to anchor a portion of the second liquid crystal molecules 140 'close to the second liquid crystal molecule layer 140, so that the portion of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' close to the second alignment film 142 generates a second pretilt angle β; the first pretilt α is in a direction opposite or substantially opposite to the second pretilt β.
Referring to fig. 1a to 1g, the portion of the second liquid crystal molecules 140 'close to the first alignment film 141 is exemplified by a layer of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' closest to the first alignment film 141; the portion of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' adjacent to the second alignment film 142 is the layer of liquid crystal molecules closest to the second alignment film 142.
As a schematic, only the second liquid crystal molecules 140 'closest to the first alignment film 141 and the second liquid crystal molecules 140' closest to the first alignment film 142 in the second liquid crystal molecule layer 140 are shown in fig. 1a to 1 g.

The third alignment film 151 is configured to anchor the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'close to the third alignment film 151 in the first liquid crystal molecule layer 150, so that the first liquid crystal molecules 150' close to the third alignment film 151 generate a third pretilt angle γ; the direction of the third pretilt γ is the same as or substantially the same as the direction of the first pretilt α or the direction of the second pretilt β.
Illustratively, the first liquid crystal molecules 150' closest to the third alignment film 151 in the first liquid crystal molecule layer 150 are one layer.
As a schematic, only the first liquid crystal molecules 150' closest to the third alignment film 151 among the first liquid crystal molecule layers 150 are drawn in fig. 1a to 1 g.
The liquid crystal molecules are classified into rod-shaped (rod-type) liquid crystal molecules in which the long axis direction is the optical axis direction and discotic (discotic) liquid crystal molecules in which the short axis direction is the optical axis direction, according to their shapes. In the three-dimensional coordinate system, a material in which at least two of refractive indices nx, ny, and nz in three directions of an X axis, a Y axis, and a Z axis are different is called a birefringent material, and liquid crystal molecules are all birefringent materials. In some embodiments, the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'in the first liquid crystal molecule layer 15 and the second liquid crystal molecules 140' in the second liquid crystal molecule layer 140 are, for example, both rod-shaped liquid crystal molecules. In other embodiments, the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'and the second liquid crystal molecules 140' may also be both positive liquid crystal molecules.
The pretilt angle may cause the liquid crystal molecules to be in a pretilt state, which means that the liquid crystal molecules near the alignment film are tilted in a specific direction with respect to a plane in which the alignment film is located. In some embodiments of the disclosure, the pretilt angle refers to an angle formed between a long axis of the rod-shaped liquid crystal molecules and a plane where the alignment film is located, and the plane where the long axis of the rod-shaped liquid crystal molecules is located intersects with the plane where the alignment film is located. The pretilt angles of the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'and the second liquid crystal molecules 140' are the states that the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'and the second liquid crystal molecules 140' are in when the liquid crystal display panel 1 is not powered on or the voltage between the pixel electrode and the common electrode is 0.
The alignment film is made of a polymer material, such as Polyimide (PI). The alignment film can make the liquid crystal molecules generate a pre-tilt angle, which is an acute angle between the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules and the plane where the alignment film anchoring the liquid crystal molecules is located.
The direction of the first pretilt α is opposite or substantially opposite to the direction of the second pretilt β, which means that the direction of the first pretilt α and the direction of the second pretilt β are opposite or substantially opposite with respect to the same substrate board, for example, with respect to the first substrate board 11, that is, the long axis direction of the second liquid crystal molecules 140 'having a pretilt equal to the first pretilt α and the long axis direction of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' having a pretilt equal to the second pretilt β are opposite or substantially opposite with respect to the first substrate board 11. Illustratively, referring to fig. 1a, with respect to the first substrate board 11, the direction of the first pretilt α is along the a-line direction, and the directions of the second pretilt β and the third pretilt γ are both along the B-line direction or substantially both along the B-line direction; an included angle a between the straight line A and the first substrate base plate 11, an included angle B between the straight line B and the first substrate base plate 11, and when the direction of the first pretilt angle alpha is opposite to the direction of the second pretilt angle beta, the included angle a and the included angle B are complementary; when the first pretilt α is in a direction substantially opposite to the second pretilt β, the sum of the included angle a and the included angle b is approximately equal to 180 °, i.e., the sum of the included angle a and the included angle b is equal to 180 ° within an allowable error range, illustratively, the sum of the included angle a and the included angle b is equal to 179.5 °, the allowable error range being obtained by presetting, illustratively, the error range is ± 1 °.
The direction of the third pretilt γ is the same as the direction of the first pretilt α or the direction of the second pretilt β, which means that the direction of the third pretilt γ is the same as or substantially the same as the direction of the first pretilt α or the direction of the second pretilt β with respect to the same substrate, for example, with respect to the first substrate 11, that is, the long axis direction of the first liquid crystal molecule 150 ' is the same as the long axis direction of the second liquid crystal molecule 140 ' having a pretilt equal to the first pretilt α or the long axis direction of the second liquid crystal molecule 140 ' having a pretilt equal to the second pretilt β with respect to the first substrate 11. Illustratively, referring to fig. 1a, with respect to the first substrate base plate 11, the third pretilt γ is directed in or substantially in the B-line direction, the first pretilt α is directed in the a-line direction, and the second pretilt β is directed in the B-line direction; the angle between the B-line direction and the first substrate 11 is B, the angle between the a-line direction and the first substrate 11 is a, and at this time, the direction of the third pretilt angle γ is the same as or substantially the same as the direction of the second pretilt angle β. When the direction of the third pretilt angle gamma is the same as the direction of the second pretilt angle beta, the magnitude of the third pretilt angle gamma is equal to the magnitude of the second pretilt angle beta; when the direction of the third pretilt γ is substantially the same as the direction of the second pretilt β, the difference between the third pretilt γ and the second pretilt β floats within an error allowance range; the error allowance range may be obtained by presetting, for example, the difference between the third pretilt angle γ and the second pretilt angle β is within an error range of ± 0.5 °.
By way of further example, referring to fig. 1B, with respect to the first substrate base plate 11, the direction of the third pretilt angle γ is along or substantially along the a-line direction, the direction of the first pretilt angle α is along the a-line direction, and the direction of the second pretilt angle β is along the B-line direction; the angle between the linear direction a and the first substrate 11 is a, the angle between the linear direction B and the first substrate 11 is B, and the third pretilt angle γ is the same or substantially the same as the first pretilt angle α. When the direction of the third pretilt angle gamma is the same as the direction of the first pretilt angle alpha, the magnitude of the third pretilt angle gamma is equal to the magnitude of the first pretilt angle alpha; when the direction of the third pretilt γ is substantially the same as the direction of the first pretilt α, the difference between the third pretilt γ and the first pretilt α floats within an error allowance range, which can be obtained by presetting, for example, the difference between the third pretilt γ and the first pretilt α floats within an error range of ± 0.5 °.
The direction and magnitude of the first pretilt α are determined by the first alignment film 141, the direction and magnitude of the second pretilt β are determined by the second alignment film 142, and the direction and magnitude of the third pretilt γ are determined by the third alignment film 151. The first alignment film 141, the second alignment film 142, and the third alignment film 151 may be formed, for example, by a Rubbing process.
Referring to fig. 2a and 2b, during the Rubbing process, an angle formed on the upper surface (i.e., the surface close to the second liquid crystal molecules 140 ') of the alignment film is inclined upward (i.e., inclined toward the second liquid crystal molecules 140 ') relative to the lower surface (i.e., the surface away from the second liquid crystal molecules 140 '). For example, referring to fig. 2a and 2b, when Rubbing is performed from left to right, the right end of the alignment direction of the alignment films (including the first alignment film 141 and the second alignment film 142) may form an angle inclined upward to the right or downward to the right. Although the directions of the first pretilt α and the second pretilt β are different, the first alignment film 141 and the second alignment film 142 may be actually manufactured through the same process. In the manufacturing process, the state of the first alignment film 141 is as shown in fig. 2a, but in the using process, as shown in fig. 1a, since the first alignment film 141 and the second alignment film 142 are oppositely disposed, so that the directions of the first pretilt angle α and the second pretilt angle β are different, the alignment direction of the first alignment film 141 and the alignment direction of the second alignment film 142 may be the same, that is, the structure of the first alignment film 141 and the structure of the second alignment film 142 may be identical.
Referring to FIG. 2c, when Rubbing is performed from right to left, the left end of the alignment direction of the third alignment film 151 forms an angle inclined to the left. Based on this, under the action of the third alignment film 151, the first liquid crystal molecules 150' close to the third alignment film 151 generate the third pretilt angle γ. Referring to fig. 1b and 2c, the alignment direction of the third alignment film 151 and the alignment direction of the first alignment film 141 may be opposite or substantially opposite.
In other embodiments, referring to fig. 1a, 2a and 2b, the alignment direction of the third alignment film 151 and the alignment direction of the second alignment film 142 may be the same, that is, the same as the alignment direction of the first alignment film 141. That is, in this structure, the alignment directions of the first alignment film 141, the second alignment film 142, and the third alignment film 151 may be the same, so that the preparation process of the alignment films (including the first alignment film 141, the second alignment film 142, and the third alignment film 151) is simple.
In the related art (refer to fig. 3a), the liquid crystal display panel 1 has a light leakage problem in the L0 state, where the L0 state indicates that no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal display panel 1, the liquid crystal display panel 1 is in a dark state, and the backlight module normally provides a light source. When the liquid crystal display panel 1 is in the L0 state, when the liquid crystal display panel 1 is subjected to a pressure (e.g., a pressure generated by pressing), the liquid crystal display panel 1 is deformed, and the deformation occursIn the method, a first substrate 11 in the array substrate and a second substrate 12 in the color filter substrate deform due to pressure to generate non-uniform stress, and the non-uniform stress changes the polarization state of light, but the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 change the polarization state of light in the same direction and in opposite directions, so as to achieve mutual cancellation. For example, referring to the poincare diagram shown in fig. 3b, along the emitting direction of the light ray, after the light ray emitted from the backlight module passes through the first polarizer 18, the polarization state of the light ray is located at a point O, and the light ray is a linearly polarized light ray at this time; after passing through the first substrate 11, the light is affected by the non-uniform stress, and the polarization state is located at the point O1Here, the light is elliptically polarized light; after passing through the liquid crystal layer 14, the light is modulated by the liquid crystal molecules, and the polarization state is at the point O2Here, the light is elliptically polarized light; after passing through the second substrate 12, the light is affected by the non-uniform stress, and the polarization state is located at the point O3Where the light is elliptically polarized, point O3There is a distance between the point O, that is, so the light incident to the second polarizing plate 19 is elliptically polarized light and not linearly polarized light, thus causing part of elliptically polarized light to exit from the second polarizing plate 19, causing a problem of light leakage of the liquid crystal display panel 1.
In contrast, when the liquid crystal display panel in the present disclosure is in the L0 state, the changes of the polarization states of the light rays due to the non-uniform stress generated by the deformation of the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12 cancel each other out, and the optical compensation layer 15 may positively compensate the changes of the polarization states of the light rays by the liquid crystal layer 14, so that the light rays emitted from the second substrate 12 are linearly polarized light rays.
Since the polarizing plates in the liquid crystal display panel 1 also affect the polarization state of light, in order to facilitate analysis of the state of light in the liquid crystal display panel 1, it is necessary to perform analysis in the case where the liquid crystal display panel 1 in the present disclosure further includes a first polarizing plate disposed on the side of the first substrate 11 away from the liquid crystal layer 14 and a second polarizing plate disposed on the side of the second substrate 12 away from the liquid crystal layer 14.
With reference to FIG. 4The illustrated poincare diagram shows that along the emergent direction of the light, the light emergent from the backlight module passes through the first polaroid, the polarization state is located at a point O, and the light is linearly polarized at the moment; after passing through the first substrate 11, the light is affected by the non-uniform stress, and the polarization state is located at the point O1Here, the light is elliptically polarized light; after passing through the liquid crystal layer 14, the light is modulated by the phase retardation of the second liquid crystal layer 140, and the polarization state is at the point O2Here, the light is elliptically polarized light; after passing through the optical compensation layer 15, the light is modulated by the phase retardation of the first liquid crystal molecular layer 150, and the polarization state is at the point O3Point O3And point O1Coincidence, wherein the light is elliptical polarized light; after the light passes through the second substrate 12, the polarization state is at the point O under the influence of the non-uniform stress, and at this time, the light is changed into linearly polarized light again, so that the light incident on the second polarizer is linearly polarized light and cannot exit from the second polarizer, thereby avoiding the light leakage phenomenon when the liquid crystal display panel 1 is stressed, and the optical compensation layer 15 can play a compensation role at different viewing angles.
Illustratively, the in-plane phase retardation of the first liquid crystal molecular layer 150 may be approximately represented as R1Where d1 is the thickness of the first liquid crystal molecule layer 150, ne is the refractive index of the first liquid crystal molecule layer 150 for extraordinary rays, and n0 is the refractive index of the first liquid crystal molecule layer 150 for ordinary rays. The phase retardation of the compensation layer of the first liquid crystal molecular layer 150 can be adjusted by adjusting relevant parameters (e.g., refractive index properties, thickness) of the first liquid crystal molecular layer 150.
Therefore, referring to fig. 4, the present disclosure positively compensates for the phase retardation of the liquid crystal layer 14 by increasing the phase retardation generated after the optical compensation layer 15, so that the polarization state of the light exiting from the optical compensation layer 15 can be from the point O2Is moved to point O3To (3).
The optical compensation layer 15 can perform a compensation function at different viewing angles, so that when the liquid crystal display panel 1 is viewed from the left side and the right side, the light leakage luminance of the liquid crystal display panel 1 in the present disclosure is smaller than the light leakage luminance of the liquid crystal display panel 1 in the related art, and when the liquid crystal display panel 1 is viewed from the left side and the right side, the display effect of the liquid crystal display panel 1 can be measured by using the color shift, so that the color shift degree of the liquid crystal display panel 1 in the present disclosure is lower than the color shift degree of the liquid crystal display panel 1 in the related art, and the display effect is better.
Note that light leakage in the L0 state may be a phenomenon that occurs when the liquid crystal display panel 1 is viewed from the front viewing angle. The color shift may be a phenomenon that occurs when the liquid crystal display panel 1 is viewed from the left or right side (side viewing angle) in the state of L0, and the color shift is also substantially caused by light leakage. Therefore, when the present disclosure can reduce the luminance of the light leakage of the liquid crystal display panel 1, the luminance corresponding to the color shift can also be reduced, thereby improving the display effect of the liquid crystal display panel 1.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1a to 1g, the orthogonal projection direction of the long axis of the first liquid crystal molecule 150 'on the plane of the first alignment film 141 and the orthogonal projection direction of the long axis of the second liquid crystal molecule 140' on the plane of the third alignment film 151 are parallel or substantially parallel.
In some embodiments, when the alignment direction of the first alignment film 141, the alignment direction of the second alignment film 142, and the direction of the third alignment film 151 are the same, the long axis direction of the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'and the long axis direction of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' are parallel, such that the orthogonal projection direction of the long axis of the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'on the plane of the first alignment film 141 and the orthogonal projection direction of the long axis of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' on the plane of the third alignment film 151 are parallel or substantially parallel.
In other embodiments, when the alignment direction of the first alignment film 141, the alignment direction of the second alignment film 142, and the alignment direction of the third alignment film 151 are opposite, the long axis direction of the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'and the long axis direction of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' are substantially parallel, such that the orthographic projection direction of the long axis of the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'on the plane of the first alignment film 141 and the orthographic projection of the long axis of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' on the plane of the third alignment film 151 are parallel or substantially parallel.
Since the degrees of the first pretilt α, the second pretilt β, and the third pretilt γ are small, for example, 1 °, even if the pretilt directions are different, the long axis direction of the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'and the long axis direction of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' are substantially parallel to each other.
The long axis direction of the first liquid crystal molecules 150 'and the long axis direction of the second liquid crystal molecules 140' are parallel or substantially parallel, so that the optical compensation layer 15 can realize the forward compensation of the liquid crystal layer 14, and the forward compensation is beneficial to reducing the thickness of the optical compensation layer 15 because the phase retardation of the liquid crystal layer 14 can be set to be larger.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1a, 1d, 1f and 1g, the alignment direction of the first alignment film 141, the alignment direction of the second alignment film 142 and the direction of the third alignment film 151 are the same.
The alignment direction of the first alignment film 141, the alignment direction of the second alignment film 142, and the alignment direction of the third alignment film 151 are the same, and the manufacturing process of the liquid crystal display panel 1 is simple.
Alternatively, the sum of the phase retardation of the optical compensation layer 15 and the phase retardation of the liquid crystal layer 14 is equal to a positive integer multiple of the first wavelength; the first wavelength is in the range 535nm + -50 nm.
By adjusting the refractive index properties of the liquid crystal molecules of the optical compensation layer 15 and/or the liquid crystal layer 14 and the thicknesses of the optical compensation layer 15 and/or the liquid crystal layer 14, the sum of the phase retardation of the optical compensation layer 15 and the phase retardation of the liquid crystal layer 14 can be made equal to a positive integer multiple of the first wavelength.
The sum of the phase retardation of the optical compensation layer 15 and the phase retardation of the liquid crystal layer 14 can control the transmittance of light of different wavelengths. The first wavelength is in the range of 535nm + -50 nm, i.e. the first wavelength has a minimum value of 485nm, a maximum value of 585nm and a median value of 535 nm. When the sum of the phase retardation of the optical compensation layer 15 and the phase retardation of the liquid crystal layer 14 is 535nm, the light leakage at the front viewing angle and the side viewing angle is significantly reduced when the liquid crystal display panel 1 is in the L0 state, and the light leakage at the side viewing angle is blue when the liquid crystal display panel 1 is viewed from the side viewing angle. Compared with the color cast of red, yellow, green and the like, the color cast of blue is more easily accepted by people. Therefore, the first wavelength range is set to 535nm + -50 nm, which further improves the display effect.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 1a, 1d, 1f and 1g, the alignment direction of the first alignment film 141, the alignment direction of the second alignment film 142 and the direction of the third alignment film 151 are the same, and the sum of the phase retardation of the optical compensation layer 15 and the phase retardation of the liquid crystal layer 14 is equal to a positive integer multiple of the first wavelength; the first wavelength is in the range 535nm + -50 nm. In this structure, the first alignment film 141, the second alignment film 142, and the third alignment film 151 are relatively simple to manufacture, and the transmittance of the liquid crystal display panel 1 for light with the first wavelength is ensured to be relatively low, so that the display effect of the liquid crystal display panel 1 is ensured, and the production cost is also reduced.
Through experimental verification, when the liquid crystal display panel 1 in the related art (refer to fig. 3a) is observed at different polarization angle positions under the condition that the azimuth angles are all 45 °, when the liquid crystal display panel 1 has a light leakage phenomenon, a curve of brightness changing with the polarization angle is S1; when the liquid crystal display panel 1 adopting the structure of fig. 1a in the present disclosure is observed at different polarization angle positions, when the liquid crystal display panel 1 has a light leakage phenomenon, the variation curve of the brightness along with the polarization angle is S2, as is apparent from fig. 5, when the liquid crystal display panel 1 has the light leakage phenomenon, the brightness of the light leakage is lower, and therefore, the light leakage phenomenon of the liquid crystal display panel 1 in the present disclosure is less obvious compared with the liquid crystal display panel 1 in the related art, that is, the quality of the liquid crystal display panel 1 in the present disclosure is better.

The first liquid crystal molecules 150 'in the optical compensation layer 15 are cured in the optical compensation layer 15, and the positions and the pretilt angles of the first liquid crystal molecules 150' are fixed and are not affected by the electric field in the liquid crystal display panel 1, so that the positions of the optical compensation layer 15 can be changed according to different design requirements, process requirements and the like, so as to improve the adaptability of the optical compensation layer 15 to different liquid crystal display panels 1.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 6a and 6b, the optical compensation layer 15 further includes a third substrate 13, and the third substrate 13 and the third alignment film 151 are located on the same side or opposite sides of the first liquid crystal molecular layer 150.
In some embodiments, the material of the third substrate base 13 is, for example, the same as the material of the first substrate base 11 and the second substrate base 12.
In other embodiments, the thickness of the third substrate base 13 is equal to or less than the thickness of the first substrate base 11 and/or the second substrate base 12.
Referring to fig. 6a, the third substrate 13 and the third alignment film 151 are respectively located at two sides of the first liquid crystal molecule layer 150, wherein the alignment direction of the third alignment film 151 is the same or substantially the same as the alignment direction of the first alignment film 141 and the second alignment film 142.

After the third substrate base plate 13 is disposed in the liquid crystal display panel 1, on one hand, when the third alignment film 151 and the third substrate base plate 13 are located on opposite sides of the first liquid crystal molecular layer 150, the third substrate base plate 13 has a planarization function, so as to facilitate subsequent manufacturing of other film layers, such as the second alignment film 142, on one side of the third substrate base plate 13 away from the first liquid crystal molecular layer 150; on the other hand, when the third alignment film 151 and the third substrate 13 are located on the same side, when the third alignment film 151 is manufactured, the third alignment film may be directly manufactured on the third substrate 13, and then the third substrate 13 and the second substrate 12 are subjected to cell alignment, and the first liquid crystal molecule 150' is injected to form the first liquid crystal molecule layer 150, so that the third alignment film 151 may be manufactured independently, and the process conditions (such as high temperature) in the process of manufacturing the third alignment film 151 may not affect other manufactured film layers on the first substrate 11 or the second substrate 12, such as a thin film transistor layer.
Alternatively, referring to fig. 6b, the third alignment film 151 and the second alignment film 142 are disposed on opposite sides of the third base substrate 13.

As other film layers are often required to be manufactured on the first substrate 11 and the second substrate 12, for example, a thin film transistor layer is also required to be manufactured on the first substrate 11, and a filter layer is also required to be manufactured on the second substrate 12, when the manufacturing process of the third alignment film 151 and the second alignment film 142 is independent from other structures in the liquid crystal display panel 1, on one hand, the manufacturing efficiency of the liquid crystal display panel 1 can be improved, and on the other hand, the influence on other structures when the third alignment film 151 and the second alignment film 142 are manufactured can be avoided.
