Embodiment
The invention provides a kind of high-resolution Novel three-dimensional display system, intend adopting superposing type to divide the picture grating as crucial control assembly.Its structure comprises the display panel of collimation backlight, high speed gray-scale Control Liquid Crystal Module, isosceles triangle dot structure, holographic minute picture grating and automatically controlled cylindrical lens.Mode of operation can switching fast between 2D and 3D.Under the 3D pattern, under the support of high speed gray-scale Control module, within holographic minute, look like grating the emergent light of same pixel is distinguished to diffraction to different directions with the speed higher than 120HZ, focus on respectively two of left and right by automatically controlled cylindrical lens again, human eye is watched and there is the image of parallax, and form stereoscopic vision in human brain.
Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal-PDLC) film is a kind of heterogeneous body, heterogeneous (two-phase) material, and polymkeric substance is main body, liquid crystal is disperse phase.This system is the uniform mix of polymkeric substance and liquid crystal when initial, initiated polymerization under certain critical temperature or exposure intensity, now mutual solubility is broken, and potpourri can not exist with single-phase again, liquid crystal thereby be precipitated, be dispersed in polymer network with little droplet.Usually, the size of liquid crystal droplet is in micron dimension, and liquid crystal molecule random alignment wherein, can produce strong light scattering like this.By extra electric field, in droplet, liquid crystal molecule is by reorientation, and enough strong electric field can make molecule arrange along direction of an electric field fully.If liquid crystal ordinary refraction index and polymeric matrix refractive index are complementary, film will become optical transparent body fully.Switching characteristic from opaque to transparent has formed the basis that PDLC applies in the demonstration field.
The USAF laboratory has proposed the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal grating first in 1993, this has developed the automatically controlled Bragg grating Electrically Switchable Bragg Gratings-ESBG technology based on high-diffraction efficiency H-PDLC grating by holographic technique Holographic Technique and the new technique that polymer dispersion liquid crystal material H-PDLC combines.
In general, the size of H-PDLC material is much smaller compared to traditional PD LC material, only has about 10-100nm.Nano level liquid crystal droplet does not have scattering or absorption to the light of visible light wave range and infrared band.The peculiar property of H-PDLC is based on its special effective refractive index difference, and this difference refers in the difference between the effective refractive index of the effective refractive index of polymer aggregational district striped and liquid crystal accumulation area and can change under the effect at extra electric field.This means that its diffraction efficiency can be adjustable by the switch of outside DC electric field.This character has greatly been expanded the application of H-PDLC material.When in powering state not, ESBG is in state of activation, and now the holographic box in Prague is in maximum diffraction efficiency.In order to make the holographic box in Prague in optically transparent unactivated state, be equivalent to diffraction efficiency and drop to 0, must apply an extra electric field.This electric field is produced by the transparent ITO conducting film in liquid crystal cell inwall both sides.The voltage applied is necessary for alternating voltage, to keep the balance of the DC voltage in box, typically applies frequency between 100HZ to 2000HZ.In its range of linearity, the diffraction efficiency of liquid crystal cell is along with the voltage change that is directly proportional, if will make diffraction efficiency drop to 0, need to be in enough voltage driving situations, the ordinary refractive index of liquid crystal droplet with around the effective refractive index of polymer substrate mate fully.
As described above, why conventional liquid crystal can't adapt to the requirement that 3D shows, mainly because its screen refresh rate is not high enough, cause, and refresh rate is determined by the direct electrical-optical characteristic by liquid crystal.The electrical-optical characteristic of liquid crystal refers to, when applying certain voltage (2 ~ 3V) to liquid crystal, liquid crystal molecule rearranges under electric field action, with the formed light transmission rate of the distortion angle of liquid crystal molecule, with extra electric field, changes.The principle of luminosity of liquid crystal display is under the effect of backlight, utilizes the difference of liquid crystal molecule whereabouts under electric field action to realize that the gray scale of image shows.Have the relaxation response during due to liquid crystal molecular orientation, so fluorescent lifetime always lags behind the time that applies driving voltage.After the regulation driving voltage adds, brightness changes to 90% for the rise time by 10%, and after cutting off voltage, brightness changes to 10% for fall time by 90%.
The computing formula of response time is as follows:
rise time (6.1)
Wherein
the coefficient of viscosity that means liquid crystal,
the radius of liquid crystal droplet,
the aspect ratio of liquid crystal droplet,
the elasticity coefficient of liquid crystal,
be the specific inductive capacity of random alignment liquid crystal droplet, its calculating can adopt the method for calculating the liquid crystal effective refractive index to go to calculate,
the specific inductive capacity of polymkeric substance,
the voltage be added on the Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal holographic lens,
represent the thickness of holographic lens.
The described high speed gray-scale Control liquid crystal layer of present design adopts the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal manufacture, little than in general polymer dispersed LCD of liquid crystal droplet particle diameter in the holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal material, formula rate by changing prepolymer and the polymerization phase separation liquid crystal droplet particle diameter of separating out that can make to expose after polymerization is separated diminishes, thereby make the velocity of rotation of liquid crystal optic axis under powering state more a lot of soon than pure liquid crystal, research shows, the reaction velocity of nanometer polymer dispersed LCD is easy to realize being less than 1ms.Adopt like this this material just can significantly improve the speed that liquid crystal greyscale is controlled.
Light wave is when propagating, and according to Huygens' principle, each point on wave front can be considered to an independent inferior wave source; These time wave source sends the sphere subwave again, and the wave front in the later a certain moment, be exactly the track plane of these sphere subwaves of this moment.Desirable diffraction grating can think and be comprised of one group of equally spaced endless, unlimited narrow slit, and the spacing between slit is d, is called grating constant.When the wavelength plane wave that is λ is normally incident in grating, the point on every slit has all been played the part of the role of inferior wave source; The light sent from these wave source can be propagated to all direction in spaces in the spherical wave mode.Because slit is endless, can only consider the situation on the plane vertical with slit, slit is reduced to the row's point of one on this plane.On this plane along the light field of a certain specific direction, be to be formed by the light coherence stack from every slit outgoing.When interfering, can be because the phase place at interference point of the light from every slit outgoing is all different and partly or entirely offset between them.Yet, when the optical path difference of the arrival of the light from adjacent two slit outgoing interference point is the multiple of light wavelength, the two-beam phase of line is identical, will interfere the reinforcement phenomenon.Describe with formula, work as diffraction angle
mmeet relation
the time interfere the reinforcement phenomenon, d is slit separation here, i.e. grating constant, m is an integer, value is 0, ± 1, ± 2 ...This interference hard point is called diffraction maximum.Therefore, diffraction light will be θ in angle of diffraction
min time, obtained greatly.
When plane wave, during with incidence angle θ i incident, grating equation is written as
(m=1,2,3,4.....) the PDLC material is exposed to initiated polymerization under certain critical temperature or exposure intensity, and liquid crystal forms discrete periodic channel in print, by intensive polymer passage, is separated, and obtains body grating, i.e. the Bragg grating.Body grating has following character, and when light, during with incident angle i incident grating, grating dispersion can be used equation
in Miao Shu ﹐ formula, to get Zheng Zhi ﹐ be angle of diffraction to φ.Otherwise when diffraction light and incident light grating normal the same side i be positive ﹐ for negative ﹔ C be that often to count ﹐ be an integer to the light grid.Dinging Shi ﹐ as incident angle i Gei has the luminous energy of each wavelength of corresponding level Guang Pu ﹐ to be dispersed in all spectral order for each the m Zhi ﹐ that meets grating equation.The Ji Shu ﹐ that modern times are scribed grating can make all diffraction grating have the shape and size of strict regulations.Select suitable Ru She Jiao ﹐ can make the luminous energy of the overwhelming majority (reaching 90%) of required wavelength and contiguous wave band thereof focus in predetermined spectral order.
Utilize the different angle of diffraction of volume holographic grating, in theory, we can make such image divider part, and this image divider part is comprised of two groups of different grating fringes of bearing of trend, can make the incident light of vertical direction go out with symmetrical angle of diffraction transmission to two different directions respectively.Here it is minute dividing as principle as grating, when we are identical with pixel self width by the grating fringe reduced width of these two groups of different directions is arrived, just can be controlled the display direction of all pixels on display panel, thereby make left and right two of beholder can see on same panel with two width of parallax picture independently, in synthesizing of process human brain, finally form stereoscopic vision.
The three-dimensional display structural representation, comprise that collimation backlight module 1, high speed gray-scale Control module, pixel control module, electric control holographic divide picture and cylindrical lens module as shown in Figure 1.

Optional automatically controlled cylindrical lens module comprises that glass substrate, ITO nesa coating, Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal 7, linear transparency electrode 5 and glass substrate 6 form from the bottom to top.
The pixel control module is by nesa coating, and chromatic filter 3 and glass substrate form.As shown in Figure 2, RGB tri-color elements be take shape and are arranged in order as unit as the structure of isosceles triangle, three square RGB sub-pixels of a complete pixel cell and shape, area micro-control circuit identical with single sub-pixel form, and amount to four square microstructure unit alignment and arrange a complete dot structure of formation.A kind of corresponding in the RGB three primary colours of each sub-pixel unit.
The gray-scale Control module is comprised of with glass substrate nesa coating, Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal box 2.Wherein, transparency conducting layer is comprised of ITO conducting film, pixel electrode and driving transistors.Control electrode makes liquid crystal molecule rotate corresponding angle by the liquid crystal applied voltages to sub-pixel, realizes the high speed gray-scale Control of refresh rate 480HZ.
Backlight module collimation backlight has an exit facet, and through this face, emitted light has the be less than ± angle of divergence of 5 °, therefore its beam projecting direction is basic and exit facet is perpendicular.
As shown in Figure 2, the pixel control module is by nesa coating, and chromatic filter and glass substrate form.Another kind of structure RGB tri-color elements be take shape and are arranged in order as unit as the structure of isosceles triangle, three square RGB sub-pixels of a complete pixel cell and shape, area micro-control circuit identical with single sub-pixel form, and amount to four square microstructure unit alignment and arrange a complete dot structure of formation.A kind of corresponding in the RGB three primary colours of each sub-pixel unit.
The gray-scale Control module is comprised of with glass substrate nesa coating, Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal box 2.Wherein, transparency conducting layer is comprised of ITO conducting film, pixel electrode and driving transistors.Another kind of mode control electrode makes liquid crystal molecule rotate corresponding angle by the liquid crystal applied voltages to sub-pixel, realizes the control of gray scale.Because the response speed of polymer dispersion liquid crystal material is very fast, can be less than 1ms.So liquid crystal cell unit proposed by the invention is realized the gray-scale Control function and can be surpassed 60Hz or the 120Hz in existing lcd technology.For example can reach 480HZ.
As Fig. 1 electric control holographic divides as grating module by first minute as grating, within second minute, forms as grating and sequential control circuit.
As Fig. 4,5 first minutes picture gratings and the bearing of trend symmetry that looks like grating in second minute, the light that described grating can send display panel under powering state not is respectively to left and right the both direction diffraction.Wherein, carve at a time, within first minute, the picture grating closes, within second minute, as grating, open, image through the backward left side of grating with unified Bragg diffraction angle outgoing; Through unit interval, first and second minute picture grating switch state alternative, image after grating with Bragg diffraction angle outgoing to the right.
The bias light of the collimation of being sent by the display backlight source, through high speed gray-scale Control module modulation gray scale, dispose after the colored filter modulates color and incide first minute as on grating.In order to make images of left and right eyes can obtain respectively independently image, utilize human eye 65mm spacing in the horizontal direction, alternately opened and closed as the automatically controlled of grating by two slices minutes, within two periods adjacent unit interval, divide and be able to the exit direction of image is periodically separated as module.
As shown in Figure 6, another kind of mode display panel is with the frequency of 480HZ, show respectively left-eye image and eye image, sequential control circuit is synchronously by carrying out staggered switch control as grating in two slices minute to two striped bearing of trend symmetries, be able to the image of vertical incidence with certain angle of diffraction outgoing, and enter respectively beholder's images of left and right eyes.Although eyes have of short duration interval in time at the image received, yet the reason due to persistence of vision, people's optic nerve can not be distinguished the precedence relationship of the two, giving tacit consent to the two is the light sent by same object received on synchronization, and then forms the stereo-picture to this object in human brain.By the control of sequential circuit, display has 3 kinds of display directions as shown in Figure 7, and a left side is looked, looked at straight and the right side is looked.
Another mode lambda1-wavelength is got λ=550nm(white light mean wavelength), the grating spacing value
, when making, angle is
(Bragg diffraction angle), m=1(diffraction intensity maximum value striped).Minute as the effect of grating, be under the 3D pattern, change the light path of display panel different pixels light, i.e. the equal diffraction left of the corresponding light of all left-eye image, and form directional light; The corresponding light of all eye image is diffraction to the right all, also forms directional light.Divide the picture effect by grating, left-eye image is separated with eye image.Moreover, because the corresponding angle of diffraction of all left-eye image is identical, therefore, the light of all diffraction direction homonymies is all parallel to each other, and this just provides possibility for the cylindrical lens by hereinafter described focuses on respectively two of left and right.
The employing modular design of another kind of structure cylinder lens module, for large-scale display terminal, adopt automatically controlled Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal Zoom lens, as shown in Figure 8, in the time of under the 3D pattern, polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer is opened lens effect, and in the time of under the 2D pattern, two sections loadings of liquid crystal layer are higher than the voltage of threshold value, lens effect is wiped, liquid crystal layer recovers lens, and light is not converged to effect, is equivalent to parallel plate on optical property; For Miniature Terminal, the present invention has designed prefabricated, the cylindrical lens module that can be easy for installation and removal.This module adopts optical glass or resin material manufacture, in the time of under the 2D pattern, do not need to install, in the time of under the 3D pattern, the user takes out the cylindrical lens module in protective sleeve, lens bottom side alignment display panel top draw-in groove track or Spring sheet clip are inserted, when lens are in place, stationary installation meeting automatic blocking, keep best Installation posture; If remove this module, only need the flicking insurance, the stationary installation automatic unlocking, pull out lens gently and can complete dismounting along guide rail.By through the focussing force of cylindrical lens, guaranteeing that binocular interval is from when be 65mm, it is planimetric position, eyes place that information is focused on to the position of observing about 300mm from display panel.
The switching of the display mode of another kind of mode display is by first and second minutes, as grating, load the voltage higher than threshold value simultaneously, make grating fringe disappear, directly along former incident direction, pass and reach human eye as grating in two slices minutes after backlight transmission display panel, the picture on display panel that now right and left eyes is seen is the unified parallax that do not have, and what see is the ordinary two dimensional plane picture.
