Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the arbitrary switching of both a yellow mode and a blue mode by sandwiching two layers of liquid crystal layers with two sheets of polarizing plates and specifying the twist angles of the liquid crystal molecules in the respective liquid crystal layers to specific angles. CONSTITUTION:A TN type liquid crystal display element and an STN type liquid crystal element are coupled integrally between polarizing plates 11 and 11 via a substrate 12. The direction of the major axis of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer 6 of the TN type is twisted by about 90 deg. between an oriented film 5 and an oriented film 15. The direction of the major axis of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid layer 16 of the STN type is twisted by 90-270 deg. between an oriented film 25 and an oriented film 35. The color of the cell is changed to orange-yellowish green or red purple-blue if the element is constituted in such a manner and respective parameters are adequately set. The colors are alternated with each other if the transmission axis of one of two sheets of the polarizing plates 1, 11 is turned 90 deg..

It is called a twisted nematic (TN) type, and has a structure in which the liquid crystal molecules are twisted approximately 90 degrees between a pair of upper and lower substrates, and utilizes the rotation of the plane of polarization by the liquid crystal and the disappearance of this effect by voltage. . This display mode was sufficient for low time-division driving such as watches and calculators, but when it is driven in high time divisions to increase the display capacity, it has the disadvantage that the contrast decreases and the viewing angle becomes narrower. was there. This is because with high time division driving, the ratio of voltages applied to selected points and non-selected points approaches 1, and in order to obtain a display element with high contrast and a wide viewing angle, the relative transmittance of the element must be increased 5 times. The voltage V changes by 50% and the voltage V changes by 4°.

In the case of twisted nematic type, this γ value is about 1.1 layers. In order to reduce this γ value, a method has been proposed in which the twist angle of the liquid crystal molecules is increased and the polarization axis is shifted from the orientation direction, and this method is called SBE mode or STN mode. According to such a system, the γ value can be reduced to 1.1 or less, and high time-division driving of about 1/400 duty is possible.

Since it is not possible to switch between these two modes without changing the transmission axis direction of one of the polarizing plates by about 90 degrees, it is actually possible to display in only one of these two modes.

If the electrode pattern of the TN type portion is made to match the electrode pattern of the STN type portion, this switching becomes possible for each pixel. If this is not necessary, it is also possible to make the electrode pattern of the TN type part rough and switch some of the pixels of the STN type part at once. If the electrode pattern of the TN type part is rough or a solid electrode, the configuration shown in Fig. 3 may be used, but if the electrode pattern of the TN type part is STN.
When the pattern is as thin as the mold part, it is necessary to adopt the configuration shown in FIG.

Example A liquid crystal display element having the same structure as shown in FIG. 1 was manufactured. In this case, the liquid crystal composition used was a mixture of nematic liquid crystal and chiral nematic liquid crystal (manufactured by Merck & Co., Ltd., 5811). The twist angle ω of the liquid crystal layer (16) in the STN type part was 200', the cell thickness was about 7 μm, and the substrate was glass with an ITO electrode pattern.

In a liquid crystal display element having such a configuration, when the STN portion is driven in a yellow mode state, a dark blue display appears on a bright yellow background. On the other hand, when half of the screen was switched to blue mode by driving the TN section, the switched section was displayed in white on a dark blue background. When the TN portion was activated in the yellow mode, a dark blue display on a bright yellow background was obtained. In this case, since it was the TN type part that was being driven, the response was as fast as approximately 100 m5. Furthermore, in such a liquid crystal display element, the background color can be changed, making it ideal for highlighting. In addition, since the response of the TN type part was fast, it was possible to operate quickly even if the display capacity was temporarily reduced.
