The biggest advantage of LCoS displays is that they can significantly reduce panel production costs and are light, thin, short, and small, while also providing high resolution and low power. The difference between a LCoS display and a thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) is that the upper and lower sides of the TFT-LCD are made of glass as a substrate, but the LCoS panel has only glass on the top. The underlying substrate is based on the semiconductor material Shi Xi, therefore, the LCoS panel process is actually a combination of LCD and semiconductor complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process technology. The main structure of the LCoS display can be divided into a light source module, an LC〇s panel, a splitting and combining system, and the like. In general, LCoS displays can be divided into two types according to the design of optical engine 1285289: three-panel and single panel. 0, V, , 'optical engine system produces the light source. After the beam is split into red, Μ, 、, 、, 彔, the beam is then projected into the three LCoS panels, and the projected three-color image is combined by the merging system to form The y-like monolithic optical engine uses a color wheel to turn white light into sequential red, blue, and green light, and the optical three primary colors and the privately generated red, blue, and green faces. Synchronously forming a color separation image, and then by the characteristics of the human eye persistence, finally producing a colored projection surface in the human brain.

A transparent conductive layer 18 is provided over the liquid crystal layer 16. In general, the conventional LCoS panel 10 further includes an anti-reflective coating 22 disposed on the surface of the transparent substrate 14, and an alignment layer (not shown) disposed on both sides of the liquid crystal layer 16. The conventional LCoS panel 10 further includes a color filter 20 disposed between the transparent conductive layer 18 and the glass substrate 14, or between the alignment layer on the liquid crystal layer 16 and the transparent conductive layer 18. 6 1285289 However, regardless of the prior art, the color filter 20 is disposed between the glass substrate 14 and the transparent conductive layer 18, or between the transparent conductive layer 18 and the alignment layer, and the color filter 20 is on the LCoS panel. 10 operation will continue to produce ",, and" and will not be cooled by the external cooling system, which will cause the Lc〇s panel 10 to easily accumulate heat, which will affect the component life of the LCoS panel 10. Therefore, how to improve the structure of the LCoS panel The design is to improve the heat dissipation situation, and thus prolong the service life of the components of the LCoS panel, which is still a subject to be studied in the industry. [The present invention] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide an improvement of the LC〇s panel political heat problem and the saving. A cost-effective LCoS display is provided to solve the problem of the conventional LCoS display.

Meanwhile, the micro color filter disposed on the surface of the display panel is provided. The generated heat can also be easily cooled by a cooling system such as a fan to maintain a preferred temperature of the display panel. On the other hand, the micro color filter can be disposed on the surface of the transparent substrate to replace the anti-reflection layer.

The material of the color filter 40 may be a photosensitive material such as a photoresist material or a photosensitive resin. At the same time, a red, blue or green dye is additionally incorporated in the photosensitive material so that the light reflected from the LCoS display panel 30 has only a specific color. In this embodiment, the LCoS display panel 30 can be applied to a three-piece LCoS. The display, that is, the three LCoS display panels 30 are disposed in a three-chip LCos display, and the color filters 40 in each of the LC〇S display faces 30 are red filters, blue filters, and green filters, respectively.

The lower surface 56b of the glass substrate 56 1285289 is provided with an IT layer 6 as a transparent conductive layer, and an upper alignment layer 64 is provided on the surface of the layer 60. The germanium substrate 58 is a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of pixels arranged in a pixel array on the surface thereof, and each pixel further includes three sub-pixels. In FIG. 3, only one pixel 52 and sub-pixels thereof are depicted. 54a, 54b, 54c, and each of the pixels 5, 54b, 54c is provided with a MOS transistor and a metal electrode (not shown) for controlling the switching of each of the sub-pixels 54a, 54b, 54c to make the liquid crystal layer 62 The liquid crystal molecules rotate to allow light to pass. In addition, a counter-alignment layer 66 is additionally attracted to the surface of the stone-like substrate 58. The LCoS display panel 50 further includes a plurality of micro color filters, which are a micro red filter 68a, a micro blue filter 68b, and a micro green filter 68c, respectively, and corresponding to each of the pixels 52. Pixels 54a, 54b, 54c. Each of the micro red filter 68a, the micro blue filter 68b, and the micro green filter 68c are stacked from a plurality of optical films and include a low reflectivity optical film stack (〇pticalthh>film stack). For example, a squinon oxide (si〇2) film, or a high-reflectivity optical ruthenium film such as titanium oxide (Titanium oxide, Ti02) or oxidation group (tantalum oxide, Ta205) film. In the present embodiment, the optical film forming the micro color filter and the light sheet is a dichroic film. 1285289 Micro color filter is used to process light in a specific frequency range. As shown in Figure 3, the micro red filter 68a, the micro blue filter 68b and the micro green filter 68c are only allowed one. The light of the first frequency range, the second frequency range, and the third frequency range passes, and in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light systems of the first frequency range, the second frequency range, and the second frequency range are respectively Red, blue and green.

The LCoS display panel 50 of the present invention can be applied to a monolithic LCoS display, and since white light is incident on the LCoS display panel 5, it can pass through the micro-red filter 68a, the micro-blue filter 68b, and the micro-green filter. The light piece 68c directly produces a color image, so that it is not necessary to provide an optical engine such as a complicated color wheel or a beam splitting system in the lC〇s display, which can greatly reduce the process cost of the conventional technology, and further reduce the LC〇s. The display volume is designed to meet the market demand. Compared with the prior art, the present invention is to use a color filter formed by an optical film stack or a photosensitive material to be formed on a transparent substrate, which can effectively change the spring. In the case where the heat is accumulated in the LCoS panel to cause overheating, and according to the design of the present invention, since the color filter is disposed on the outermost layer of the LCoS panel, the color filter is in the panel; The heat generated during operation can be easily dissipated by a cooling system disposed near the LCoS panel. For example, the temperature of the color filter can be lowered by a fan to cool the surface of the LCoS panel and maintain the lc〇S panel. Good 12 12285289 temperature. On the other hand, the color filter is disposed on the surface of the transparent substrate of the LCoS panel, which can also replace the function of the anti-reflection layer in the conventional LCoS panel, so that the LCoS panel manufacturer can save part of the production cost. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the patentable scope of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
