Abstract
A liquid crystal display device is disclosed, which can control a viewing angle in vertical and horizontal directions without forming a specific liquid crystal display panel, the liquid crystal display device comprising a display screen including a plurality of color pixels and liquid crystal molecules; and a viewing-angle control pixel controlling the liquid crystal molecules, an alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules being inclined to a vertical or horizontal direction in the display screen, wherein the viewing-angle control pixel is formed independently of RGB pixels, to thereby control the viewing angle in the horizontal and vertical directions.
Claims23
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a display screen including a plurality of color pixels and viewing angle control pixels, each of the color pixels and the viewing angle control pixels including liquid crystal molecules,
- an alignment direction of the liquid crystal molecules being inclined to a vertical or horizontal direction with respect to the display screen.
The device of claim l, wherein the liquid crystal molecules in the viewing angle control pixels are aligned to form a predetermined shape in the presence of a viewing angle control signal.
A liquid crystal display device, comprising:
- a plurality of color pixels, each color pixel including:
- liquid crystal molecules therein;
- at least one common electrode;
- and
- a pixel electrode;
- a plurality of viewing angle control pixels, each viewing angle control pixel including:
- liquid crystal molecules therein;
- at least one common electrode;
- and
- a pixel electrode;
- wherein the common electrode in the viewing angle control pixels extends in a direction different from the at least one common electrode in the color pixels such that an alignment of the liquid crystal molecules in the viewing angle control pixels is controllable in a vertical or horizontal direction.
