Abstract
A U-shaped unit and a liquid crystal element with U-shaped coplanar electrode units provided by the invention are capable of increasing a horizontal electric field intensity in a power supply state, so that when the invention is applied to be used as a liquid crystal driving element, a required horizontal electric field intensity can be achieved with a lower driving voltage to reduce a required driving power when the liquid crystal element is used as a display screen, thereby achieving an effect of power saving.
Claims11
A U-shaped unit, which is molded on a baseplate, and the U-shaped unit includes:
- a base portion located on a first side plate surface of the baseplate, and extending a predetermined width along a virtual first axis parallel to the plane of the first side plate surface;
- and
- two side portions, each side portion of the two side portions has a first end and a second end, the first end of each said side portion of the two side portions is respectively fixed to one of the two ends of the base portion in the first axis direction, and the second end of each side portion of the two side portions respectively extends outwardly away from the base portion and is spaced apart and not directly connected to an adjacent U-shaped section, and each side portion of the two side portions respectively extends along a second axis direction separated from the first axis direction by a predetermined angle and not on the same plane as the first axis, and the two side portions jointly form a U-shaped section with the base, and the ratio of the individual width of each side portions in the direction of the first axis to the individual height in the direction of the second axis is between 1:20 and 1:2.
