我們一般在市面上看到的TFTLCD，若拆開看其橫截面結(jié)構(gòu)，如下圖：Introduction-TFTLCDpanel剖面圖

TFT_LCD面板主要可以拆解成3個部份，來說明：1.LCD面板:

2.TFT面板

3.背光板模組

至於其他一些DriverIC或是鐵框等，用以固定此3部份的結(jié)構(gòu)則不另敘述。

控制流到ITOPixel區(qū)域的電荷量就可以決定了電場大小了

液晶會受到上下兩塊板子之間的電場大小所控制而變動不同的垂直角度，電場愈大液晶改變的角度也愈大

PixelGateICSourceICActive(Switch)(Scanline)(Dataline)Introduction-液晶顯像原理(TNmodenormallywhite)------PolarizerLiquidCrystalTFT面板LCD面板LightITO電極下偏光片上偏光片1.當(dāng)液晶站立起來時（和面板方向呈現(xiàn)90度）時，光線是不受液晶導(dǎo)引的。2.液晶站立的角度越垂直，越多的光不會被液晶導(dǎo)引，不同角度的液晶，其站立角度會導(dǎo)引不同數(shù)量的光線。以上面的例子來看，液晶站立角度越大，則可以穿透的光線越弱。（上、下偏光片排列的方向會決定穿透光的強弱，因此建議：只要了解液晶站立的角度會導(dǎo)光的強弱即可）不受導(dǎo)引的光線會被上偏光片所吸收掉。

(Fieldoff)(Fieldon)為何我們需要控制數(shù)百萬個pixel區(qū)內(nèi)液晶的角度呢？因為我們要利用液晶的旋光性來控制光線通過TFTLCD面板的強弱。
