Abstract
Structures, devices, systems and methods of using multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal displays with high transmittance, high contrast ratio and wide view angle in which at least one of the electrode substrates has circular or ring-shaped openings, such as holes or slits. Circular or ring-shaped patterns for openings and electrodes have not been used in the construction of a liquid crystal display. The new multi-domain vertical alignment (MDVA) liquid crystal display is particularly suitable for liquid crystal display television and computer monitor applications.
Claims11
A multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal display with high transmittance, high contrast ratio and wide view angle comprising:
- a first substrate including a common electrode formed as a one-piece layer of indium tin oxide without openings separated by a space from a second substrate including a plurality of pixel electrodes having a ring-shaped opening and a circular center opening wherein portions of the pixel electrodes separated by the ring-shaped opening are connected by a common radial connector;
- a liquid crystal material filling the space between the first substrate and the second substrate;
- and
- the common electrode and plurality of pixel electrodes controlled by a storage electrode.
