Description
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an optical module, and more particularly, to a display device.
Background
Due to the development of electronic products such as televisions, computers, notebook computers, mobile devices, smart phones, and the like, the improvement of the use experience of the display device has become a trend in the market. The conventional display device uses a multi-domain Vertical Alignment (VA) liquid crystal layer to improve the color washout problem of a display screen displayed by the display device at a large viewing angle. In addition, In order to improve the problem of poor Gamma (Gamma) value of the display screen at a large viewing angle, the display device may use an In-Plane-Switching (IPS) liquid crystal layer, or the display device may dispose a micro-structure film on the IPS liquid crystal layer.
However, the cost of providing the microstructure film is high, so that the overall cost of the display device is increased, and the contrast of the display screen of the display device is poor. Furthermore, although the higher the number of domains (domains) of the liquid crystal layer is, the color shift problem of the display screen can be reduced, the lower the light energy utilization rate of the display device is, and the brightness of the display screen is not good. On the contrary, in a display device having a small number of liquid crystal layer regions, such as a dual-domain liquid crystal layer, the light shape of the surface light source provided by the backlight module of the display device is not symmetrical due to the matching manner of the film layers, and the light leakage at a large viewing angle, i.e., a vertical viewing angle and a horizontal viewing angle, is also caused at the lowest gray scale level.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a display device, which can effectively reduce the problem of asymmetric light shape of a surface light source and the problem of light leakage of a large viewing angle when a display picture presented by the display device is at the lowest gray scale.
The display device of an embodiment of the invention includes a liquid crystal module and a backlight module. The liquid crystal module comprises a double-domain liquid crystal layer, a lower polaroid and an upper polaroid. The liquid crystal molecules of the two-domain liquid crystal layer are aligned in a horizontal alignment direction when no voltage is applied. The lower polarizer has a penetrating axis along a first direction, wherein an included angle between the first direction and the horizontal arrangement direction falls within a range of 45 +/-5 degrees. The upper polarizer has a penetrating axis along a second direction. The lower polarizer, the two-domain liquid crystal layer and the upper polarizer are arranged in sequence in an arrangement direction. The backlight module is used for providing a surface light source. The backlight module comprises a light-emitting module, a first prism sheet, a second prism sheet, a reflective polarization membrane and a light-spreading membrane. The light emitting module comprises an optical plate and a light source. The optical plate is provided with a light emergent surface and a light incident surface. The light source is arranged on one side of the light incident surface of the optical plate. The reflective polarizing film has a transmission axis along a third direction, wherein an included angle between the third direction and the first direction is within a range of 0 +/-5 degrees. The light diffusion film is provided with a plurality of first microstructures extending along a first extending direction. The light emitting module, the first prism sheet, the second prism sheet, the reflective polarization membrane, the light spreading membrane and the liquid crystal module are sequentially arranged in the arrangement direction. The light emitted by the light-emitting module is emitted through the light-emitting surface of the optical plate and then sequentially passes through the first prism sheet, the second prism sheet, the reflective polarization membrane, the light-spreading film and the liquid crystal module to form image light.
In view of the above, in the display device according to an embodiment of the invention, the light spreading film is disposed on the reflective polarization film, and the films in the display device are collocated, so that the light shape of the surface light source provided by the backlight module of the display device is better, and the display effect of the display device is better.

Fig. 1 is a perspective exploded view of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1, a display device 10 according to an embodiment of the invention includes a liquid crystal module 100 and a backlight module 200. The liquid crystal module 100 includes a two-domain (two domains) liquid crystal layer 110, a lower polarizer 120, and an upper polarizer 130. The lower polarizer 120, the two-domain liquid crystal layer 110 and the upper polarizer 130 are sequentially arranged in an arrangement direction A. The backlight module 200 includes a light-emitting module 210, a first prism sheet 220, a second prism sheet 230, a reflective polarization film 240, and a light-spreading film 250. The light-exiting module 210, the first prism sheet 220, the second prism sheet 230, the reflective polarizing film 240, the light-diffusing film 250 and the liquid crystal module 100 are sequentially arranged in the arrangement direction a.
In detail, the liquid crystal molecules of the dual domain liquid crystal layer 110 of the present embodiment are aligned along a horizontal alignment direction H when no voltage is applied. The lower polarizer 120 has a penetrating axis along a first direction D1, wherein an angle between the first direction D1 and the horizontal arrangement direction H is within a range of 45 ± 5 degrees. The upper polarizer 130 has a penetrating axis along a second direction D2, wherein an included angle between the second direction D2 of the upper polarizer 130 and the first direction D1 of the lower polarizer 120 is within a range of 90 + -5 degrees. In one embodiment, the second direction D2 and the first direction D1 are preferably perpendicular to each other.
In the present embodiment, the backlight module 200 is used to provide a surface light source. Specifically, the backlight module 200 obtains the optical module 210 including an optical plate 212 and a light source 214. The optical plate 212 has a light emitting surface 212S1 and a light incident surface 212S 2. The light source 214 is disposed at one side of the incident surface 212S2 of the optical plate 212. The Light source 214 is, for example, a Light-emitting diode (LED) Light source, a sub-millimeter Light-emitting diode (mini LED) Light source, or other suitable Light sources. The light emitted from the light exit module 210 passes through the light exit surface 212S1 of the optical plate 212, and then passes through the first prism sheet 220, the second prism sheet 230, the reflective polarization film 240, the light spreading film 250 and the liquid crystal module 100 in sequence to form an image light. Fig. 1 illustrates that the light exit surface 212S1 of the optical plate 212 is adjacent to the light entrance surface 212S 2. That is, the optical plate 212 of fig. 1 can be a light guide plate, but the invention is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the optical plate can be a diffusion plate, and the light emitting surface is opposite to the light incident surface. That is, the light source is disposed below the optical plate. In the display device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, when the optical plate 212 is a light guide plate, the overall volume of the display device 10 is small; when the optical plate is a diffusion plate, the light source is arranged below the optical plate, and the light-emitting light shape of the backlight module can be adjusted through the position of the light source, so that the light-emitting light shape of the backlight module is uniform.
In one embodiment, the backlight module 200 further includes a quantum dot (quantum dots) layer 260 disposed on the optical plate 212, and the light source 214 includes a blue light source. The quantum dot layer 260 is disposed between the optical plate 212 and the first prism sheet 220. In another embodiment, the quantum dot layer 260 can be directly disposed on the light exit surface 212S1 of the optical plate 212. In the display device 10 according to the embodiment of the invention, the backlight module 200 includes the quantum dot layer 260, so that the color rendering of the surface light source provided by the backlight module 200 is better.
In the present embodiment, the reflective polarizing film 240 has a penetrating axis along a third direction D3, wherein an included angle between the third direction D3 and the first direction D1 is within a range of 0 ± 5 degrees. In one embodiment, the third direction D3 and the first direction D1 are preferably parallel to each other.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a light-diffusing film of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the light diffusing film 250 has a plurality of first microstructures 252 extending along a first extending direction E1.

Furthermore, the first microstructure 252 has a plurality of first turning regions 252F. The first inflection region 252F is a region where a height difference L' along the arrangement direction a between the first microstructure 252 at each local extreme value with respect to the surface 252S of the optical plate 212 and its adjacent local extreme value falls within a range of 0 to 10%, where the height is a distance between the surface 252S of the first microstructure 252 and the upper surface 254S of the substrate 254. The extending direction of the first turning region 252F is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first microstructures 252. Incidentally, in the first transition region 252F1 of fig. 2, the first transition region 252F1 includes local extrema LM2, LM3, and LM 4. The first turning region of local extremum LM2 is a region in which the height difference between local extremum LM1 and LM3 adjacent thereto falls within the range of 0 to 10%.

Therefore, for convenience of illustration, the first inflection region 252F1 of fig. 2 includes the three first inflection regions of the local extrema LM2, LM3 and LM 4.
In the embodiment, the ratio of the projected area of the first turning region 252F on the light diffusing film 250 relative to the upper surface 254S of the optical plate 212 to the projected area of the first microstructure 252 on the upper surface 254S of the light diffusing film 250 is greater than or equal to 30% and less than or equal to 60%.

Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3, in the present embodiment, the first microstructures 252 of the light diffusing film 250 further satisfy the following condition: L/P is less than or equal to 4% and less than or equal to 25%, where L is the average height difference of the first microstructures 252 and P is the average pitch of the first microstructures 252. Fig. 3 illustrates that different L/P yields different luminance gain ratios. In a preferred embodiment, L/P is 4%.

Furthermore, the second microstructure 132 has a plurality of second turning regions 132F. The second turning region 132F is a region where a height difference L' in the arrangement direction a between the second microstructure 132 at each local extreme value with respect to the surface 132S of the optical plate 212 and its adjacent local extreme value falls within a range of 0 to 10%, where the height is a distance between the surface 132S of the second microstructure 132 and the upper surface 134S of the substrate 134. The extending direction of the second turning region 132F is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the second microstructures 132.
In the embodiment, the ratio of the projection area of the second turning region 132F on the upper polarizer 130 relative to the upper surface 134S of the optical plate 212 to the projection area of the second microstructure 132 on the upper surface 134S of the upper polarizer 130 is greater than or equal to 85% and less than or equal to 93%.

Referring to fig. 5A and 5B, in fig. 5A, curves C1, C3, and C5 are graphs of gamma values at viewing angles of 30, 45, and 60 degrees with respect to gray scale in the vertical viewing angle direction, respectively; in fig. 5B, curves C2, C4, C6 are graphs of gamma values at viewing angles of 30, 45, 60 degrees with respect to gray scale in the vertical viewing angle direction, respectively. Wherein the average gamma value of the curve C1 is about 1.2, and the average gamma value of the curve C2 is about 1.3; the average gamma value of curve C3 is about 0.5, and the average gamma value of curve C4 is about 0.8; the average gamma value of curve C5 is about-0.1 and the average gamma value of curve C6 is about 0.5.
