Description

Wide-viewing-angle composite polarizer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of polaroids, in particular to a wide-viewing-angle composite polaroid. The method can be applied to display devices to reduce brightness variation of different viewing angles.
Background
Polarizers are basic optical devices that can be used to convert natural light into polarized light, and can also be used to selectively transmit polarized light of different polarization states. Polarizers are widely used in a variety of display devices including liquid crystal displays, organic light emitting displays, and the like. In liquid crystal display, a polarizer and a liquid crystal layer constitute an optical switch for realizing a display function. In an active light emitting display device such as an organic light emitting display, a polarizer is used to reduce reflection of ambient light. In 3D displays, polarizers are used to generate polarized light. The performance of the polarizer directly affects the display effect of the display device. The conventional polarizer mainly includes a metal polarizer, an iodine polarizer, a dye polarizer and a polyethylene polarizer. For any type of polarizer, the realization of its polarizing effect relies on the alignment of molecules/clusters having optical anisotropy. Taking an iodine-based polarizer commonly used in a display device as an example, the polarizing effect is achieved by iodine ions aligned on a polyvinyl alcohol film. When light passes through the polarizer, linearly polarized light with the polarization direction along the arrangement direction of the iodine ions is absorbed, and emergent light is linearly polarized light. In the polarizer, the polarization direction of the absorbed polarized light is referred to as the absorption axis direction, the polarization direction of the emitted light is referred to as the transmission axis direction, and the absorption axis is orthogonal to the transmission axis direction.
Since the function of the polarizer is derived from an anisotropic structure, the monolithic polarizer has different transmittances at different viewing angles. When the incident angle reaches 45 °, the transmittance difference of the conventional polarizer at different azimuthal angles is about 20%. And when the incident angle is increased to 75 degrees, the transmittance difference of different azimuth angles is as high as 60 percent. In the organic light emitting display device, the viewing angle characteristics of the polarizer are visually embodied. In the organic light emitting display device, only one circular polarizer is used to reduce reflection, so the viewing angle characteristics of the polarizer greatly affect the display brightness at different viewing angles. Even though the light emitting uniformity of the light emitting components in the organic light emitting display device is better than that of the backlight source in the liquid crystal display device, the organic light emitting display device still has inferior display luminance uniformity to the liquid crystal display device at different viewing angles. The problem that the transmittance of the polarizer is not uniform under different viewing angles greatly affects the display effect of the display device. At present, the research on the viewing angle of the polarizer mainly focuses on optimizing the contrast of two orthogonal polarizers at different viewing angles. The light leakage of the two orthogonal polarizers at an oblique viewing angle can be reduced by adding the compensation film in the structure of the polarizers, so that the contrast at the oblique viewing angle is increased. For example, the contrast at oblique viewing angles is increased by adding a compensation film structure (chinese patent CN202010253314.8 entitled "a polarizer for a wide viewing angle liquid crystal display"). In essence, the problem of non-uniform transmittance of the conventional polarizer at different viewing angles is caused by the structural characteristics of the polarizer. The polarizing layer which plays a role in polarizing can be regarded as a two-dimensional plane consisting of a plurality of one-dimensional structures, and observation under different visual angles is carried out in a three-dimensional space, and the structures of the polarizing layer show obvious difference under different visual angles. When the polar angles are the same, the projections of the absorption axis composed of iodide ions and the transmission axis of the polarizing layer at different azimuth angles are completely different. The structural characteristics of a polarizing layer in the polarizer cannot be changed by adding additional structures such as a compensation film in the polarizer, and the structure of the polarizing layer of the conventional polarizer is still two-dimensional, so that the problem of uneven transmittance still exists under different viewing angles. Up to now, the transmittance of the polarizer at different viewing angles is still not uniform. In order to solve the problem of uneven transmittance of the polarizer at different viewing angles, the projections of the transmission axes in the polarizing layer at different viewing angles need to be consistent, which means that the polarizing layer needs to include a three-dimensional structure with symmetry in a three-dimensional space. However, the anisotropic two-dimensional structure of the polarizing layer is the basis for realizing the polarizing effect, and the polarizing effect of the polarizing layer is greatly influenced by changing the structure of the polarizing layer. The design of a polarizer with a symmetrical three-dimensional structure and an ideal polarization effect faces many problems, on one hand, the structural limitation of the polarizer is broken, the two-dimensional structure is converted into the three-dimensional structure, and on the other hand, the symmetry in a three-dimensional space is realized while the two-dimensional anisotropic structure in the polarizer is kept. A wide viewing angle polarizer with uniform transmittance at different viewing angles has great application prospects and is also a great challenge.

In the wide viewing angle composite polarizer provided in the present embodiment. The incident light I is converted into linearly polarized light P1 having a polarization direction along the 0 ° direction after passing through the first polarizing layer 10; when linearly polarized light P1 passes through the liquid crystal optical rotation layer 30, the polarization direction is rotated by 90 degrees, the liquid crystal optical rotation layer cannot realize ideal polarization rotation, and emergent light P2 passing through the liquid crystal optical rotation layer 30 is approximate to linearly polarized light with the polarization direction along the 90-degree direction; the P2 becomes linearly polarized light P3 with a polarization direction along 90 ° after passing through the second polarizing layer 20.

The light transmission axes of the first and second polarizing layers are orthogonal, so that the transmittances of the two polarizing layers at different viewing angles can be mutually compensated, and uniform transmittance can be obtained at different viewing angles.
