Abstract

Systems for displaying images are provided. The system includes a display device. The display device includes an array substrate, and a transparent electrode stack overlaying the array substrate. The transparent electrode stack includes a first electrode having a first slit, a second electrode having an outer edge disposed corresponding to the interior of the first slit, and a dielectric layer disposed between the first and second electrodes. The dielectric layer electrically isolates the first and second electrodes.

Claims

1. A system for displaying images comprising a display device, comprising:

an array substrate; and

a transparent electrode stack overlying the array substrate, and comprising a first electrode comprising a first slit, a second electrode comprising an outer edge disposed corresponding to the interior of the first slit, and a dielectric layer disposed between and electrically isolating the first electrode and the second electrode.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outer edge is disposed corresponding to a center line of the first slit.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the first electrode comprises a plurality of first sub-electrodes;

and

the first sub-electrodes are connected to each other by a first connection electrode, and spaced from each other by the first slit.

4. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second electrode is formed as an integral whole.

5. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein:

the second electrode comprises a plurality of second sub-electrodes;

the second sub-electrodes are connected to each other by a second connection electrode, and spaced from each other by a plurality of second slits; and

the outer edge is an edge of at least one of the second sub-electrodes.

6. The system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first slit is disposed corresponding to at least one of the second slits.

7. The system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first slit and the second slits are all open slits.

8. The system as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first slit and the second slits are all enclosure slits.

9. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the arrangement of the second electrode is disposed below the first electrode.

10. The system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a light shielding layer disposed between the array substrate and an opposite substrate, wherein the light shielding layer comprises an opening exposing parts of the transparent electrode stack.

11. The system as claimed in claim 6, further comprising:

an opposite substrate disposed over the array substrate, and facing the transparent electrode stack; and

a liquid crystal layer disposed between the array substrate and the opposite substrate.

12. The system as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an electronic device, comprising:

the display device; and

an input unit coupled to the display device and providing an input signal for the display device, enabling the display device to display images.

13. The system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the electronic device is selected from a group consisting of a cell phone, a digital camera, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a television, a car display, and a portable digital video disc (DVD) player.
