Example two
Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart illustrating steps of a method for controlling a display panel according to a first embodiment of the present invention is applied to an electric field control of a display panel, including:
step 201, when the arrangement direction of the negative liquid crystal and the dichroic dye is perpendicular to the plane of the first substrate, applying a first voltage to the retaining wall structure to move the light absorption heating element to be in contact with the retaining wall structure, thereby realizing the display state of the display panel.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the electric field is needed to switch and control the bright state and the dark state of the display panel, a first voltage can be applied to the retaining wall structure first, so that a horizontal electric field is formed in the liquid crystal layer, namely, the direction of the electric field is parallel to the plane of the first substrate; under the action of the electric field, the light absorption heating body moves to the side of the retaining wall structure and contacts with the retaining wall structure, and the light absorption heating body does not control the display panel at the moment.
In practical use, because the outer side of the display panel is provided with the shell, the shell can surround the periphery of the display panel, so that the light absorption heating body adsorbed beside the retaining wall structure cannot be illuminated, and then cannot generate heat, and the arrangement of negative liquid crystal and dichroic dye in the liquid crystal layer cannot be influenced, therefore, the step can be realized, and the display panel is automatically controlled by natural light to be switched to a mode controlled by an electric field.
When the light absorption heating body moves to be in contact with the retaining wall structure, the negative liquid crystal is vertical to the plane where the first substrate is located, and at the moment, the display panel is in a transparent state.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the light absorption heating body moves to the side of the retaining wall structure, the first voltage applied to the retaining wall structure is cut off.
Step 202, electrifying the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate to make the arrangement direction of the negative liquid crystal and the dichroic dye parallel to the plane of the first substrate, thereby realizing the dark state of the display panel.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are electrified, a vertical electric field is formed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, namely, the direction of the electric field is vertical to the plane where the first substrate is located, the negative liquid crystal deflects under the action of the vertical electric field, the long axis of the negative liquid crystal is vertical to the electric field and is parallel to the plane where the first substrate is located, and at the moment, the display panel is in a dark state, namely, the light transmittance is low.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes:
powering off the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, and applying a second voltage to the retaining wall structure to uniformly distribute the light absorption heating bodies in the liquid crystal layer;
the second voltage is opposite to the first voltage, and the second voltage is smaller than a preset voltage.
In the embodiment of the invention, if the display panel needs to be switched from the electric control mode to the natural light control mode, the electrification between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate is cut off, then a second voltage opposite to the first voltage is applied to the retaining wall structure, and when the second voltage is small, the light absorbing and heating body can be moved into the liquid crystal layer, so that the bright state and the dark state of the display panel can be controlled by the natural light.
The control method of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps: when the arrangement direction of the negative liquid crystal and the dichroic dye is vertical to the plane of the first substrate, applying a first voltage to the retaining wall structure to enable the light absorption heating element to move to be in contact with the retaining wall structure, so that the display state of the display panel is realized; and electrifying the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate to enable the arrangement directions of the negative liquid crystal and the dichroic dye to be parallel to the plane of the first substrate, thereby realizing the dark state of the display panel. The control method of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize the free switching of the display panel between the natural light control and the electric field control, and can realize the switching between the dark state and the bright state according to the requirement under the electric field control, thereby realizing the intellectualization of the switching of the display panel.
