Abstract
A high contrast ratio reflective STN LCD structure including an glass substrate panel, a liquid crystal layer and a lower glass substrate panel. The upper glass substrate panel includes only one optical deflector. The phase compensating film disposed under the optical deflector has a quarter of wavelength. The liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer have torsion angle within 180° to 210°. The retardation value of the liquid crystal molecules is within 580 nm to 650 nm.

A high contrast ratio reflective STN LCD structure comprising an upper glass substrate panel, a liquid crystal layer and a lower glass substrate panel, wherein:
- the upper glass substrate panel includes:
- an optical deflector laid on an uppermost side of the upper glass panel, the optical deflector having a horizontal penetration axis and a horizontal absorption axis normal to the penetration axis;
- a phase compensating film disposed under the optical deflector and having a quarter of wavelength and a slow axis;
- an upper glass panel laid under the phase compensating film;
- an upper electrode laid under the upper glass panel;
- and
- an upper alignment layer laid under the upper electrode;
- the liquid crystal layer is disposed under the upper alignment layer, a top portion of the liquid crystal layer being aligned by the upper alignment layer, the liquid crystal layer including numerous spacers connected with a bottom of the upper alignment layer, the liquid crystal layer being composed of numerous liquid crystal molecules;
- and
- the lower glass substrate panel is disposed under the liquid crystal layer, including:
- a lower alignment layer laid under the liquid crystal layer, a bottom of the liquid crystal layer being aligned by the lower alignment layer;
- a color-filter laid under the lower alignment layer and having numerous pixels, each pixel being composed of a red block, a green block and a blue block;
- a reflector laid under the color-filter;
- a lower electrode laid under the reflector;
- and
- a lower glass panel laid under the lower electrode, the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer having torsion angle within 180° to 210°, the retardation value of the liquid crystal molecules being within 580 nm to 650 nm.
