Liquid crystal display with high transmittance and excellent image quality

High transmittance and excellent image quality are two crucial requirements for thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCDs). This work presents a novel pixel structure utilizing a vertical alignment liquid crystal (VA-LC) to improve both transmittance and image quality. The new pixel structure, called TCL-pixel, features a unique transparent conducting layer (TCL) that constructs an electric field shielding layer and a large transparent storage capacitor, resulting in good stability and a large aperture ratio. The 55" 8 K product incorporating the TCL-pixel achieves high transmittance (3.87 %) and a high contrast ratio (5100:1), attributed to the large aperture ratio. Additionally, it exhibits negligible vertical cross talk (0.7 %), low color cross talk (3 ‰), low horizontal cross talk (JND 2.3), and enhanced variable refresh rate performance, confirming its good stability. Furthermore, the TCL-pixel demonstrates an improved viewing angle (CESI 0.03：65°) due to the multi-domain alignment produced by the transparent conducting layer.
