DISPLAY PANEL, DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

For the purpose of providing a display panel that realizes a high light utilization efficiency, a low power consumption, a fast response and a low cost, a display panel of the present invention includes, between a transparent substrate (102) and a TFT substrate (105), (i) a soft material layer (101) that expands or contracts in response to voltage application to the soft material layer (101), (ii) a flexible pixel electrode (102) that expands or contracts together with the soft material layer (101), and (iii) an upper electrode (103).

主权项

1. A display panel comprising:
a plurality of gate bus lines; a plurality of source bus lines; and display elements each provided in a pixel area defined by given gate bus lines out of the plurality of gate bus lines and given source bus lines out of the plurality of source bus lines, the display elements each including: a transistor including a gate connected to one of the given gate bus lines, and a source connected to one of the given source bus lines; a first electrode connected to a drain of the transistor; a soft material provided in contact with the first electrode, the soft material expanding or contracting in accordance with a voltage applied to the soft material; and a second electrode provided so as to be combined with the soft material, the second electrode being provided on a side of the soft material which side is opposite to another side where the soft material is in contact with the first electrode.
