Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without inventive step based on the embodiments of the present invention, are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
Example one
The embodiment of the application provides a display module assembly, through cover optical waveguide and Diffraction Optical Element (DOE) on display module, like the diffraction grating, can guarantee better light energy utilization when guaranteeing user's normal use.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1, the display module includes: display module 110, photoelectric conversion module 120, optical waveguide 130, and diffraction grating 140.
The display module 110 is used for displaying an image, and may display an interactive interface of an electronic device, for example, the display module 110 may be an OLED display module, and may include a substrate, a hole transport layer, an organic light emitting layer, or an electron transport layer, and the like, and it should be understood that the application is not limited to the specific form of the display module 110.
The optical waveguide 130 is located above the display plane of the display module 110, and is capable of limiting light to be transmitted therein, and transmitting the light diffracted by the diffraction grating 140 to the at least one photoelectric conversion module 120. The operation of optical waveguide 130 is based on the principle of total reflection: the light propagating in the optical waveguide is constrained to propagate in the optical waveguide as long as the total reflection condition is satisfied. According to snell's law, n1sin θ 1 ═ n2sin θ 2, where n1 is the refractive index of the optical waveguide material, n2 is the refractive index of the use environment, n2 is the refractive index of air in the normal environment, and is generally 1, θ 1 and θ 2 are the propagation angles (included angles with the normal direction) of light rays in the optical waveguide, respectively, and when the angle θ 2 at which light rays exit the optical waveguide is 90 °, θ 1 ═ arcsin (1/n1) is the critical angle, that is, incident light rays larger than this angle all satisfy the total reflection condition.
The photoelectric conversion module 120 is used for receiving the light transmitted by the optical waveguide 130. It should be understood that the photoelectric conversion module 120 can be located at any position around the display module 110, and can be set according to specific design requirements or actual needs as long as the display module 110 is not shielded, for example: the display module 110 is generally rectangular, and the photoelectric conversion module 120 is located at any one side of four sides of the rectangle, or located at the periphery of the rectangle. In other embodiments of the present application, a plurality of photoelectric conversion modules may be provided, and each of the photoelectric conversion modules may be located at a plurality of positions around the display module 110.
The diffraction grating 140 has wavelength selectivity and angle selectivity. Wavelength selectivity means that diffraction grating 140 only acts on incident light rays within the characteristic wavelength range [ λ 1, λ 2], i.e., changes the propagation direction of the light rays by diffraction, while incident light rays outside the characteristic wavelength range are substantially unaffected by the presence of the grating. The angular selectivity means that the diffraction grating 140 shows, through the diffraction effect on the incident light, that only the incident light with the incident angle range within the characteristic angle range [ phi 1, phi 2] will be efficiently guided to the predetermined emergent direction, and the incident light outside the characteristic angle range is not substantially affected by the existence of the grating. The customization of wavelength selectivity, angle selectivity and the emergent direction of incident light guided by the grating is realized by selecting different preparation parameters during the preparation of the diffraction grating so as to generate different grating structures, the theoretical basis behind the customization is a Kegine formula and a strict coupled wave analysis theory, the customization belongs to the prior known technology, and the embodiment of the customization is not detailed.
The diffraction grating 140 is a reflection grating, is located between the optical waveguide 130 and the display module 110, and diffracts the light beam meeting the preset condition into the optical waveguide 130 at an incident angle greater than a first threshold value, where the first threshold value is an angle value of a critical incident angle when the light beam generates total reflection in the optical waveguide 130. The predetermined condition is related to an inherent property of the diffraction grating 140, and includes at least one of a wavelength or an incident angle, and when a light having a wavelength or an incident angle outside a predetermined range is incident on the diffraction grating 140, the diffraction grating 140 cannot cause the light to be totally reflected in the optical waveguide 130.
The wavelength of the light emitted by the display module 110 is in the range of [ λ 3, λ 4], which in many cases is in the visible range, typically between 350 nm and 780 nm, and the incident angle of the emitted light into the diffraction grating also has a certain angular range [ φ 3, φ 4 ]. In order not to affect the display of the display module, it is necessary to make [ λ 3, λ 4] outside the characteristic wavelength range [ λ 1, λ 2] or [ φ 3, φ 4] outside the characteristic angle range [ φ 1, φ 2 ].
Alternatively, when the display module is used for wireless optical charging, the photoelectric conversion module 120 includes a photosensitive unit and a circuit unit. The light sensing unit senses light transmitted by the optical waveguide and converts an optical signal into an electrical signal, and the circuit unit supplies electric energy in the electrical signal to the energy storage module connected with the display module or directly supplies electric energy to other modules connected with the display module.
Alternatively, when the display module is used for wireless optical communication, the photoelectric conversion module 120 includes a light sensing unit and a circuit unit. The light sensing unit senses light transmitted by the optical waveguide, converts an optical signal into an electrical signal, and the circuit unit processes information carried by the electrical signal, wherein the processing includes but is not limited to amplification, shaping, sampling, filtering, encoding or modulation.
Alternatively, the optical waveguide 130 is made of a material having good optical transparency, such as glass or optical plastic.
Optionally, the optical waveguide 130 covers the entire display plane of the display module 110.
According to the embodiment of the application, the photoelectric conversion function is integrated on the display module, the area of light absorption is large, and the area outside an extra screen can not be increased. Under the condition of not influencing the screen ratio, the large-area light energy absorption is realized, and the wireless light energy conversion with higher power can be provided. Because the diffraction grating is thin, the influence on the light emission of the display module is small, the transparency is good, and more light can be absorbed and converted through design. Meanwhile, due to the fact that the diffraction grating is additionally arranged, incident light can be guided, reflection of the light is greatly reduced, the screen can be watched under the strong light irradiation environment, and user experience is improved.
Alternatively, for the diffraction grating 140, the corresponding preset conditions are that the incident angle of the incident light is in a first range, and the wavelength of the incident light is in a second range. For example, the first range is [30 °, 60 ° ], and the second range is [550nm, 570nm ].
Optionally, the diffraction grating 140 is a Volume Holographic Grating (VHG) or a Surface Relief Grating (SRG).
For VHG, the periodic spatial intensity distribution of the interfering light causes a corresponding periodic distribution of the refractive index on the grating-making material, i.e. VHG, by letting two coherent laser beams (reference beam K1 and object beam K2) interfere on a specific grating-making material (thin film made of silver salt material, dichromated gelatin, photopolymer or holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal, etc., with a thickness d typically in the range of a few micrometers to a few tens of micrometers). During preparation, the characteristic angle range, the diffraction emergence angle range and the characteristic wavelength range of the prepared grating are customized by selecting parameters such as material selection, film thickness d, a reference light wave vector K1 (including light wave wavelength and incidence angle), an object light wave vector K2 (the light wave wavelength corresponding to K2 is required to be the same as the reference light wave vector K1, and the incidence angle is set according to requirements), exposure intensity and time. After the preparation is completed, the diffracted emergent light K2 ' (including direction and wavelength) is jointly determined by K1 ' and Kv, namely K2 ' is equal to K1 ' -Kv, only when the wavelength and the incident angle of the incident light K1 ' fall within the characteristic wavelength range (a neighborhood range of the wavelength of the light wave adopted in the preparation) and the characteristic angle range (a neighborhood range of the incident angle determined by the grating vector Kv equal to K1-K2) of the grating, otherwise, the incident light can be regarded as not influenced by the existence of the grating and directly passes through the grating in a transparent mode. The VHG can be attached to the optical waveguide after preparation, or a grating preparation film is attached to the optical waveguide first and then prepared by coherent light interference. The characteristic angle range and the characteristic wavelength range of the prepared grating are related to the parameters of the basic refractive index n, the refractive index modulation degree delta n, the film thickness d, the exposure intensity, the time and the like of the film.
The SRG has similar characteristics with respect to a characteristic wavelength range and a characteristic angle range as VHG, and is typically fabricated directly on an optical waveguide substrate by a photolithographic or imprint process. By selecting the substrate material and controlling parameters such as line spacing, groove depth, groove profile, groove filling rate, groove inclination angle and the like during processing, the customization of the characteristic wavelength range and the characteristic angle range of the grating is realized.
As shown in fig. 2, a schematic diagram of the propagation path of light in the optical waveguide is given. When the incident angle and the wavelength of the first light ray incident from the outside satisfy the preset conditions, the first light ray will be guided to the predetermined exit direction under the diffraction action of the diffraction grating 140 (prepared as a reflection grating), and the incident angle of the exit direction on the waveguide surface is not less than the critical angle of total reflection of the light ray in the waveguide, so as to ensure that the light ray can propagate in the waveguide in a total reflection manner until exiting from the side surface to the photoelectric conversion module. Since the second light does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the diffraction grating 140 cannot diffract the second light into the optical waveguide 130 for transmission. Since the optical waveguide is thin, typically about 1mm thick, light emitted from each pixel in the display module 110 can pass through the waveguide and vertically enter the diffraction grating, and the incident angle is designed to be outside the range of the incident angle under the preset condition, so that the light emitted from each pixel can pass through the diffraction grating 140 transparently. Therefore, by covering the diffraction grating and the optical waveguide on the display plane of the display module 110, the incident light within a specific angle and a specific wavelength range from the outside can be guided to the photoelectric conversion module for charging or wireless communication, and the effect of normal watching of the screen display by human eyes is not affected.
Example two
The second embodiment of the present application provides a display module, which includes a display module 210, an optical waveguide 230, a diffraction grating 240, and photoelectric conversion modules 2201 and 2202. Referring to fig. 3, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is two points: the first is the position of the diffraction grating, the optical waveguide and the display module, and the optical waveguide 230 is located between the diffraction grating 240 and the display module 210 in the second embodiment; the other is the number of the photoelectric conversion modules, and the display module in the second embodiment includes two photoelectric conversion modules 2201 and 2202, which are respectively located at two sides of the display module 210.
As shown in fig. 4, a schematic view of a propagation path of light in the display module according to the second embodiment is shown. The diffraction grating 240 is made into a transmission grating, the incident angle and the wavelength of the externally incident third light satisfy preset conditions, and under the diffraction action of the diffraction grating 240, the third light is guided to a predetermined exit direction, which makes the incident angle of the third light on the surface of the optical waveguide 230 not less than the critical angle of total reflection of the light in the optical waveguide 230, that is, the angle of the first threshold value, so as to ensure that the third light can propagate in the optical waveguide in a total reflection manner until exiting from the side surface to the photoelectric conversion module 2201 or 2202. Since the optical waveguide is thin, typically about 1mm thick, light emitted from each pixel point in the display module 210 can be considered to pass through the waveguide and be vertically incident on the diffraction grating, and the incident angle is designed to be outside the range of the incident angle of the preset condition, so that the light can pass through the diffraction grating 240. Therefore, by covering the diffraction grating and the optical waveguide on the display plane of the display module 210, the incident light at a specific external angle and in a specific wavelength range can be guided to the photoelectric conversion module 2201 or 2201 for charging or wireless communication, and the effect of normally watching the screen display by human eyes is not affected.
It should be understood that the light acquired by the display module in the embodiments of the present invention from the outside may be ambient light, such as sunlight, light, and the like, or may be light emitted by a special wireless optical charging device or a wireless optical communication device. The wavelength ranges and incident angles of light from different light sources may have a certain difference, and in order to enable the display module to absorb light incident from the outside, the wavelength and angle of light incident from the outside of the display module need to fall within the wavelength and angle ranges in which the diffraction grating in the display module can perform diffraction. The characteristic wavelength range and the characteristic angle range of the diffraction grating are a part of the wavelength range and the incident angle range of the ambient light source through customization of the diffraction grating, but are not overlapped with the light-emitting wavelength range and the incident angle range of the display module, so that normal display of a screen cannot be influenced, and meanwhile, the utilization rate of ambient light can be improved. Obviously, on the premise that the light-emitting range of the display module has no overlapping region as much as possible, the wider the characteristic wavelength range and the characteristic angle range of the diffraction grating, the greater the utilization rate of the display module to ambient light.
As shown in fig. 5, for a diffraction grating for ambient light absorption, a wider characteristic wavelength range can be designed, and accordingly, a characteristic angle range tends to be narrower, so that absorption of ambient light in a wider wavelength band can be achieved, for example, the diffraction grating is designed as a transmissive type bulk grating.
Fig. 6 provides another diffraction grating for wireless optical charging or wireless optical communication, with a narrow wavelength range but a wide angular range, such as a reflective bulk grating. Because the light emitted by the light emitter generally has a narrow line width, such as a monochromatic laser, and has a certain emission angle range. In this case, the operating wavelength range of the photoelectric conversion module is usually narrower to maintain high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
The wavelength range and angular range of a single diffraction grating may be relatively small for light sources available to the display module, e.g., the spectrum of sunlight is broad and the range of possible angles of incidence is relatively large. In this case, two or more diffraction gratings may be used, each having a different characteristic wavelength range or characteristic angle range, so that a larger wavelength range or a larger range of incident angles of incident light can be used.
EXAMPLE III
As shown in fig. 7, the display module includes a display module 310, a photoelectric conversion module 320, an optical waveguide 330, and diffraction gratings 3401 and 3402. The diffraction gratings 3401 and 3402 are laid under the optical waveguide 330 in a tiled and non-overlapping manner, close to the surface of the optical waveguide 330 of the display module 310, and the characteristic wavelength ranges or characteristic angle ranges of the diffraction gratings 3401 and 3402 are not the same.

And the characteristic wavelength ranges or characteristic angle ranges of the diffraction gratings 5401 and 5402 are different.

Diffraction gratings 7401 and 7402 are sequentially stacked on a lower surface of the optical waveguide 730, the diffraction gratings 7401 and 7402 are located between the display module 710 and the optical waveguide 730, and diffraction gratings 7403 and 7404 are sequentially stacked on an upper surface of the optical waveguide 730, on a surface of the optical waveguide 730 remote from the display module 710.

Example eight
Fig. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a display module according to an eighth embodiment of the present application, and fig. 14 is a schematic propagation path diagram of light in the display module shown in fig. 13.
The diffraction grating 8401 and the diffraction grating 8402 are stacked to guide external light of different wavelength ranges to the photoelectric conversion modules at different positions. The characteristic wavelength range and the characteristic angle range of the diffraction grating 8401 are adapted to visible light, the visible light in the ambient light can be guided into the optical waveguide 830, and the incident direction of the visible light when the visible light is guided into the optical waveguide 830 enables the visible light to be transmitted toward the position of the photoelectric conversion module 8201 in the optical waveguide 830 and finally received by the photoelectric conversion module 8201. The characteristic wavelength range and the characteristic angle range of the diffraction grating 8402 are adapted to the infrared laser light, the infrared laser light generated by the infrared laser generator can be guided into the optical waveguide 830, and the infrared laser light is transmitted toward the position of the photoelectric conversion module 8202 in the optical waveguide 830 in the incident direction when being guided into the optical waveguide 830, and is finally received by the photoelectric conversion module 8202.
The photoelectric conversion module may typically be specifically optimized for a narrower wavelength band, thereby achieving higher efficiency. For example, the efficiency of a general solar cell is usually only ten percent or twenty percent, because a broad spectrum from ultraviolet light, visible light to infrared light is considered, but the efficiency of a laser cell dedicated to a specific waveband can be fifty or sixty percent, the incident light intensity is beneficial to efficiency improvement, but more importantly, efficiency optimization is easily achieved for a single waveband, because the absorption efficiency of an absorption material of a photosensitive unit in a photoelectric conversion module is the highest for light of the specific waveband. Based on this principle, this application embodiment eight is through adopting the multilayer diffraction grating to lead the external light in different wavelength ranges respectively to a plurality of different positions to improve the pertinence of photoelectric conversion module receipt light, finally improve the light utilization ratio. The external light rays with different wavelength ranges can be in the same incident direction or can be incident into the diffraction optical waveguide from different directions, and can be guided to different preset directions through diffraction gratings with different structures.
It should be understood that, since the characteristic wavelength ranges or the characteristic incident angle ranges of the plurality of diffraction gratings may be different, and the operating wavelength range of each of the at least one photoelectric conversion module is different, the characteristic wavelength ranges of the plurality of diffraction gratings in the display module may correspond to the operating wavelength ranges of the plurality of photoelectric conversion modules one to one. Alternatively, the characteristic wavelength ranges of the plurality of diffraction gratings may correspond to the operating wavelength range of one photoelectric conversion module. In the embodiment of the present application, there is no specific limitation as long as the operating wavelength range of the photoelectric conversion module covers the characteristic wavelength range of the corresponding diffraction grating.
As shown in fig. 13 and 14, the diffraction grating 8401 and the diffraction grating 8402 have different structures, and light rays satisfying the characteristic wavelength range and the characteristic incident angle range of the diffraction grating 8401 and the diffraction grating 8402 may be incident on the optical waveguide 830 and propagate in different directions after being diffracted by the diffraction grating 8401 or the diffraction grating 8402, for example, visible light propagates in the left-right direction, and infrared light propagates in the front-back direction. Photoelectric conversion modules corresponding to the working wavelength range are placed at corresponding positions around the display module, for example, the photoelectric conversion modules 8201 corresponding to the visible light band are placed on the left side and the right side of the display module, and the photoelectric conversion modules 8202 corresponding to the infrared light band are placed on the front side and the rear side of the display module, so that photoelectric conversion with higher efficiency can be realized.
It should be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the photoelectric conversion module corresponding to a specific wavelength band may also have response in other wavelength bands, and may also implement photoelectric conversion, but the efficiency may be relatively low.
