Innovation and creation go out with regard to being based on above-mentioned cognition in the present invention.
Below, with reference to the description of drawings embodiments of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the sectional view of the cross-section structure of the reflection-type liquid-crystal display device that relates to of expression the 1st embodiment.
In Fig. 1; reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 1 has liquid crystal cell 100, solar cell 101, rubber lamella 102 and not shown driving circuit; wherein; liquid crystal cell 100 has glass substrate 103,104, sealant 106 and liquid crystal layer 107; solar cell 101 has glass substrate 400, semiconductor layer (photoelectromotive force generating unit) 405 and protective seam (light absorbing zone) 404, and rubber lamella 102 is between the glass substrate 400 of the glass substrate 104 of liquid crystal cell 100 and solar cell 101.
In addition, rubber lamella 102 uses the rubber that organosilicons (silicone) are made.(400~600nm) almost do not have light absorption, so as shown in Figure 2, whole wavelength region may of striding the viewing area have 94~95% high like this transmissivities in the viewing area owing to organic siliconresin (silicone resin).This is to consider because also can not use the vulcanizing agent that might become black when making organic siliconresin.
In addition, because there is compatibility on the surface of organic siliconresin to glass, even so do not use any bonding agent or bonding agent, also can be by on the glass substrate 400 of the glass substrate 104 of liquid crystal cell 100 and solar cell 101, rubber lamella 102 being set, and for example closely be fixed on these glass surfaces by press...withing one's finger pressure lightly, even on adhesive surface, can not move after this to the parallel direction skew yet.In addition, on this adhesive surface, for example only insert blade just easily separate rubber lamella 102 and the glass substrate 104 of liquid crystal cell 100 and the glass substrate 400 of solar cell 101 a little.That is to say, the closely fixing of the 102 pairs of glass substrates of rubber lamella that the present invention relates to can not use bonding agent or bonding agent, just can easily closely fix above-mentioned laminated body, on the other hand, thermal treatment such as can not use chemicals or heat, just can easily separate the above-mentioned laminated body of disintegrating (following will have the tight stationarity of this rubber lamella 102 and separate disintegration be called " reversible tight fixing "), so the assembly operation of reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 1 becomes easily, can reduce cost of manufacture.In addition, though this laminated body in regular locational lamination failure, also can be simply and moment disintegrate, separate, assemble again by implementing, can in manufacturing process, carry out non-defective unit regeneration disposal.Therefore, final rise have the rate of good quality rate produce become may this commercial production on extremely useful value.In addition, the assembling of this laminated body can be undertaken by manual operations, also can use automatic adhering device to carry out.
Have again because the thickness of rubber lamella 102 is 0.2~2.0mm, so light transmission do not reduce, so can possess sufficient impact resistance.This is because if the thickness of rubber layer surpasses 2mm, then light transmission reduces a little, if be thinner than 0.2mm, then impact resistance reduces.
Fig. 3 is the process flow diagram of manufacturing processing sequence of the liquid crystal cell of presentation graphs 1.
At first, on the surface of glass substrate 104, form figure and make ito transparent electrode (step S301), then, the film formed alignment films of polyimide macromolecule (step S302) of applied thickness 10~60nm.
Then, be that the mode of inboard is arranged glass substrate 103,104 with patterned ito transparent electrode, by the periphery (step S303, S304) of sealant 106 bonding glass substrates 103,104 such as coating epoxy resin.
In addition, above-mentioned when bonding, set in advance inlet, after injecting liquid crystal layer 107 by vacuum impregnation etc. from this inlet, seal this inlet with ultraviolet curable resin, thereby between glass substrate 103,104, enclose liquid crystal layer 107 (step S305), finish this operation and make liquid crystal cell 100.
Then, use Fig. 4 that the principle of liquid crystal layer 107 selection reflections is described.
Fig. 4 is the figure that is used to illustrate liquid crystal layer selection principle of reflection, and Fig. 4 (a) expression liquid crystal layer is the situation of flat state, and Fig. 4 (b) expression liquid crystal layer is in the situation of burnt taper attitude.
Wherein, liquid crystal layer 107 is the chiral nematic liquid crystal that comprise scheduled volume chirality agent 6 in nematic liquid crystal 5.In addition, in the present embodiment, liquid crystal layer 107 is not limited to use the chiral nematic liquid crystal, also can use cholesteryl liquid crystal etc.
This liquid crystal layer 107 has flat state and burnt taper attitude, this flat state is presented on " selecting reflection " state of selecting the reflected wavelength lambda reflection, this Jiao's taper attitude presents the micro-scattering state, in order shifting between this flat state and burnt taper attitude, to apply predetermined pulse voltage respectively and gets final product.Each state during making alive is not kept this state, till applying new voltage.Below such effect is called " memory effect ".
Because reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 1 is the element that possesses above-mentioned memory effect, thus power consumption can be reduced, and also the reflection that does not need to use polaroid also can obtain becoming clear shows.
In Fig. 4, when liquid crystal layer 107 is burnt taper attitude, if the graphical not shown ito transparent electrode that forms applies predetermined voltage from the glass substrate 104, complanation state then.On the contrary, when liquid crystal layer 107 is flat state, apply predetermined voltage, then become burnt taper attitude from above-mentioned ito transparent electrode.
When liquid crystal layer 107 was flat state, the relative glass substrate 103,104 of spiral fashion axle (screw axis) 5a of nematic liquid crystal 5 arranged in vertical direction that fifty-fifty 107 pairs of liquid crystal layers select the light of reflected wavelength lambda to reflect.Should select the peak wavelength λ of reflected wavelength lambda as can be known 0For
λ 0=n * p (n: the birefraction of nematic liquid crystal 5, p: the spiral fashion axial length of nematic liquid crystal 5).
On the other hand, when liquid crystal layer 107 was burnt taper attitude, the relative glass substrate of the spiral fashion axle 5a of nematic liquid crystal 5 103,104 is average arranged in the horizontal direction the light of the above-mentioned selection reflected wavelength lambda of transmission.
Fig. 5 is the figure of cross-section structure of the solar cell of key diagram 1.
At first, form figure and make not shown ito transparent electrode on two surfaces of glass substrate 400 in advance, then, on a surface of glass substrate 400, the photoelectromotive force generating unit 405 that formation order lamination p type semiconductor layer 401, i semiconductor layer 402 and n type semiconductor layer 403 form, at last, on this photoelectromotive force generating unit 405, form light absorbing zone 404 and make solar cell 101.
In addition, in the formation of glass substrate 400 the surperficial formed electrode of photoelectromotive force generating unit 405, as output electrode from 405 outputs of photoelectromotive force generating unit.
Below, the reflection loss of the reflection-type liquid-crystal display device of comparative descriptions Fig. 1 and existing reflection-type liquid-crystal display device.
As shown in Figure 6, existing reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 600 adopts opaque two sides adhesive tape 602 to replace rubber lamella 102, and glass substrate 104 and glass substrate 400 are adhesively fixed on its outer part.Cover from the light of the central portion transmission of liquid crystal cell 100 by this two sides adhesive tape 602, prevent to accept the light of solar cell 101, the outer part of glass substrate 104 and glass substrate 400 so this two sides adhesive tape 602 only is adhesively fixed.Therefore, between solar cell 101 that surrounds by two sides adhesive tape 602 and liquid crystal cell 100, form air layer 601.
The refractive index of air is 1.0, with respect to this, the refractive index of glass substrate 104 and glass substrate 400 is about 1.5, so as shown in Figure 6, light L1 from liquid crystal cell 100,4% of its light quantity is reflected as light L2 ' in interface at air layer 601 and glass substrate 104, reflects 4% of its light quantity at the interface of air layer 601 and glass substrate 400 as light L3 '.
On the other hand, the organic siliconresin that constitutes rubber lamella 102 has 1.40 such refractive indexes, refractive index near glass substrate 104,400, so as shown in Figure 1, light L1 from liquid crystal cell 100,0.12% of its light quantity is reflected as light L2 in interface at rubber lamella 102 and glass substrate 104, reflects 0.12% of its light quantity at the interface of rubber lamella 102 and glass substrate 400 as light L3.
That is to say, and compare that under the situation of sheet rubber layer 102, solar cell 101 can be accepted more from the light of liquid crystal cell 100 transmissions across the situation of air layer 601.
Then, the reflection-type liquid-crystal display device that the present invention's the 2nd embodiment relates to is described.
The reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 900 that present embodiment relates to is same structure with the reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 1 that the 1st embodiment relates to basically, that difference is to use is blue, and (peak reflectance wavelength of the reflectivity of background during as black: 430~450nm) rubber lamella 901 (with reference to Fig. 1) replaces transparent rubber lamella 102.
Below, to the subsidiary same-sign of the structure identical, and omit repeat specification with the 1st embodiment.
Fig. 7 is the figure that sees the solar cell 101 of Fig. 1 from the front.
In Fig. 7, the photoelectromotive force generating unit 405 of solar cell 101 is arranged a m * n figure regularly towards direction in length and breadth on glass substrate 400.The color of this photoelectromotive force generating unit 405 is generally indigo plant~purple.One side of this photoelectromotive force generating unit 405 is generally several mm~ten number mm, and (below be called " figure seam ") is separated by about 1mm between the photoelectromotive force generating unit 405.
Therefore, if use transparent rubber lamella 102 as the 1st embodiment, the user saw that this figure seam is obvious under the situation of liquid crystal panel of reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 1 when then liquid crystal layer 107 was burnt taper attitude, and visibility is poor.
Relative therewith, if as present embodiment, using blue rubber lamella 901, the user saw under the situation of liquid crystal panel of reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 1 when then liquid crystal layer 107 was for burnt taper attitude, because the color of photoelectromotive force generating unit 405 and rubber lamella 901 is basic identical, so the figure seam becomes not obvious, visibility improves.
Have, when the peak wavelength of the selection reflected wavelength lambda when liquid crystal layer 107 is flat state and the reflectivity of rubber lamella 901 existed complementary color to concern, the color that can make liquid crystal under flat state can further improve the visibility of display frame for white again.Particularly, make with the color of rubber lamella 901 is promptly blue to become the yellow that complementary color concerns (λ=560~600nm) are the selection reflected wavelength lambda of the liquid crystal layer 107 of flat state.
According to above result, the reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 900 that present embodiment relates to, the figure seam becomes not remarkable under flat state, and be to become showing of white under the flat state like paper (paper like) at liquid crystal panel, under burnt taper attitude, become blue showing, very the effect of printing near paper like paper.
But, because liquid crystal layer 107 is a reflective condition during for flat state, so though the light of incident light transflective liquid crystal layer 107 arrival solar cell 101 diminishes the peak wavelength λ of the selection reflected wavelength lambda of liquid crystal layer 107 when flat state 0And the wavelength region may between the peak wavelength 800 of the reflectivity of rubber lamella 901, reflectivity is low, i.e. the transmissivity height.Therefore, electromotive force efficient is the solar cell 101 of maximum in this wavelength region may as if using in reflection-type liquid-crystal display device 900, even then liquid crystal layer 107 is a flat state, also can makes and reduce the liquid crystal indicator that electromotive force efficient just can be generated electricity not significantly.
That is to say the peak wavelength λ of the selection emission wavelength lambda of solar cell 101 preferred liquid crystal layers 107 0And the wavelength between the peak wavelength of the reflectivity of rubber lamella 901 is that to make electromotive force be maximum wavelength.

The location arrangements sample of 300mm is so that liquid crystal cell 100 sides are illuminated under the 20w circline, and measuring liquid crystal layer 107 with digital test difference machine is the electromotive force of the solar cell 101 under flat state, the burnt taper attitude.In addition, the electromotive force with liquid crystal layer in the comparative example 1 107 during for flat state, burnt taper attitude is as 100% efficient of obtaining electromotive force, during rising with " zero " expression, during no change with " △ " expression, during decline with " * " expression.
The test of seam visibility
Under flat state, carry out looking the test of sample from liquid crystal cell 100 sidelong glance.Visibility was represented with " zero " when remarkable with " * " expression when the figure seam was remarkable.
Show validation test like paper
Look the sample of embodiment 2 and comparative example 2 from liquid crystal cell 100 sidelong glance, confirm the change color of the liquid crystal under flat state and the burnt taper attitude, when showing like paper with " zero " expression, non-when showing like paper with " * " expression.
[table 1]
Figure C20041004319200161
According to above result, embodiment 1 can obtain electromotive force efficient can be than the result of conventional example (comparative example 1) raising.This is that so there is the situation of rubber lamella 102, solar cell 101 can be accepted more light from liquid crystal cell 100 transmissions because there is air layer 601 (Fig. 6) in comparative example 1.
But the seam visibility of embodiment 1 and comparative example 1 all is " * ".This is because liquid crystal layer 107 during for burnt taper attitude, can clearly see seam across transparent glass substrate 104, air layer 601 and glass substrate 400.
On the other hand, the seam visibility of known embodiment 2 and comparative example 2 all is " zero ".This is because liquid crystal layer 107 during for burnt taper attitude, across blue rubber lamella 901, so that seam becomes is not obvious.
And the seemingly paper of known embodiment 2 and comparative example 2 shows all be " zero ".This is because liquid crystal layer 107 during for burnt taper attitude, and the seam visibility be " zero " as mentioned above, and makes the color of liquid crystal be the white colourity of adjusting rubber lamella 901 under flat state.
Have again, though embodiment 2 keeps and the essentially identical electromotive force of prior art, but the efficient of the electromotive force of comparative example 2 is lower than prior art, this is because not only produce reflection in air layer 601 edge surface, also produce reflection in the blue paste edge surface of glass substrate 104 surface applied, the light income from the light of liquid crystal cell 100 transmissions to solar cell 101 reduces.
The effect of invention is as follows
As above detailed description, according to reflection-type liquid-crystal display device of the present invention, a side of two transparency carriers with have between other transparency carrier of solar cell and have rubber layer with liquid crystal cell, transparent and the refractive index of this rubber layer equates substantially with a side and above-mentioned other transparency carrier of above-mentioned two transparency carriers, so, can improve optical transmission rate from the liquid crystal cell transmission, and, can improve impact resistance owing to have rubber layer, for example, this display device is used for also can obtain the long life-span under the situation of touch-screen and the liquid crystal indicator that is used to carry etc.
Since the preferred rubber layer reversibly fluid-tight engagement in whole of liquid crystal cell and solar cell, so, can improve the fluid-tight engagement between liquid crystal cell and solar cell, and, owing to peel off this rubber layer easily and can easily revise bonding bad.
Because more preferably a side and above-mentioned other transparency carrier of above-mentioned two transparency carriers are formed by glass respectively, and rubber layer is formed by silicon rubber, so, can be because of organic siliconresin self transparent and its refractive index and glass equate to play really the effect of foregoing invention substantially, and can have the effect that compatibility plays foregoing invention really to the glass on surface because of organic siliconresin.
Because further preferred liquid crystal has Memorability, so if only when the switchable liquid crystal display element, power up, then available more low-power consumption work.
Because further preferred solar cell is the noncrystalline type, and rubber layer blueness, becomes not remarkable so electrode surface is the figure seam of the solar cell of purple reflected colour, and visibility is improved.
Because further the color of preferred liquid crystal is the relation of complementary color with the color of above-mentioned rubber layer under flat state, so under flat state, can make the color of liquid crystal be white, become liquid crystal panel under flat state for white, under burnt taper attitude for blue showing like paper, can print near paper as far as possible.
Because when further preferred background was black, the peak wavelength of the reflectivity of rubber layer was 430nm~450nm, so can play the effect of foregoing invention really.
Because the selection reflection wavelength of further preferred liquid crystal is 560nm~600nm under flat state, so can play the effect of foregoing invention really.
Because further preferred solar cell is the wavelength of maximum with the wavelength between the peak wavelength of the reflectivity of the peak wavelength of the selection reflection wavelength of liquid crystal and rubber layer as making electromotive force, even so under the painted situation of rubber layer, can prevent that also the electromotive force of solar cell from descending.In addition, even liquid crystal is the reflective-mode of flat state, can prevent that also the electromotive force of solar cell from descending.
Because further preferred liquid crystal is formed by nematic liquid crystal and chirality agent, so can play the effect of foregoing invention really.
Because further the thickness of preferred rubber layer is 0.2~2.0mm, so light transmission does not reduce, has enough impact resistances.
