Background
With the increasing demand of people for display, 3D display has become an inevitable trend of future display technologies. Naked eye 3D technologies are mainly classified into two major categories: the binocular parallax and the original light field are reproduced. The principle of reproducing binocular parallax is as follows: the left eye and the right eye of a person receive two views with parallax respectively, and images of the two views are synthesized in the brain to generate a 3D effect. Thus, when 3D stereoscopic display is required, 3D video images can be generated by mapping images having parallax to the left and right eyes of a person, respectively.
At present, the design scheme of the naked eye 3D display device is to realize the far and near viewing naked eye 3D effect by changing the size of the opening of the grating. However, the disadvantage of this scheme is that when human eyes are far away from or close to the screen, the aperture ratio of the grating must be reduced to see the 3D effect, and at this time, the brightness of the display panel will decrease, which will affect the viewing experience, and increasing the backlight brightness can improve the brightness decrease problem to a certain extent, but the backlight brightness increase will bring the problem of power consumption increase, and the scheme also has the problem of brightness fluctuation.

Detailed Description
In order to more clearly illustrate the invention, the invention is further described below with reference to preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Similar parts in the figures are denoted by the same reference numerals. It is to be understood by persons skilled in the art that the following detailed description is illustrative and not restrictive, and is not to be taken as limiting the scope of the invention.
In the naked eye 3D display device, a viewing distance at which a maximum aperture ratio of a raster, which is 50%, can be obtained when left and right eye images are not interfered is generally set as an optimum viewing distance. Taking the example of using a naked eye 3D display device to view a stereoscopic image at a distance closer than an optimal viewing distance, fig. 1a shows a schematic diagram of binocular imaging when imaging is still performed at a maximum aperture ratio of a raster in the prior art, and fig. 1b shows a schematic diagram of binocular imaging when no interference occurs between the left and right eyes at this time. As shown in fig. 1a, dot-dashed lines and solid line segments are used to distinguish sub-pixels of a display screen that provide a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and it can be seen that in the prior art, when the aperture ratio of the grating is still the maximum aperture ratio, the light entering the left eye simultaneously includes the left-eye image and the right-eye image, and the light entering the right eye also includes the left-eye image and the right-eye image; as shown in fig. 1b, in the prior art, by reducing the aperture ratio of the grating, the image entering the left eye is only the left eye image, while the image entering the right eye is only the right eye image, but it can also be seen from the figure that a part of light rays cannot enter the human eye through the opening when the aperture ratio of the grating is reduced, thereby reducing the light extraction ratio.
Therefore, in the prior art, when the viewing distance is changed, the left eye and the right eye can be ensured to normally view the stereoscopic image without interference by reducing the aperture ratio of the grating, but the problem of reduced display brightness is caused, and if the original display brightness is required to be ensured, the backlight brightness needs to be increased, so that the problem of increased power consumption is inevitably caused.
In order to solve the above problem, as shown in fig. 2, the present application provides a display device 1 including:
a display screen 10 including a plurality of sub-pixels;
a position detection unit 20 for detecting position information of human eyes;
an electro-optical modulator 30 disposed on the light incident side of the display screen 10;
an electronic grating 40 arranged on the side of the electro-optical modulator 30 far away from the display screen 10; and
and a control unit 50 for controlling the voltage applied to the electro-optical modulator 40 based on the position information detected by the position detection unit 20 so that the left-eye image and the right-eye image are respectively incident to the left eye and the right eye of the human eye when the display device 1 performs stereoscopic display.
In the embodiment, by providing the position information detection unit and the electro-optical modulator and controlling the voltage applied to the electro-optical modulator based on the position information detected by the position information detection unit, the stereoscopic image display function that the left and right eye images are not interfered can be realized under the condition that the display brightness and the power consumption of the display device are not reduced, the watching experience of a user is improved, the use cost of a product is reduced, the service life of the product is prolonged, and the stereoscopic image display device has a wide application prospect.
In order to facilitate understanding of the structure of the display device of the embodiments of the present application, a detailed description will be given below with reference to specific examples of the display device of the present invention and its imaging principle.
In a specific example, as shown with reference to fig. 2 and 3, the display device 1 of the embodiment of the present application includes a display screen 10, a position detection unit 20, an electro-optical modulator 30, an electronic grating 40, and a control unit 50.
The display screen 10 includes a driving circuit substrate 11 and a color film substrate 12, where the color film substrate 12 includes optical filters of various colors, and the optical filters define a plurality of sub-pixels in the display screen 10.
The position detecting unit 20 may be an image collector, such as an infrared camera device, for example, and collects images of positions of human eyes of a user watching the display device in real time or at regular time, and outputs the images of the positions of the human eyes to the control unit 50. The position detection unit 20 may be disposed near the back side of the display screen 10, for example, the light transmitted by the under-screen image capture region is used to capture the position image of the human eye, and the position detection unit 20 may also be disposed on the outer frame of the display screen 10 near the light-emitting side, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present application is not intended to limit the specific form of the position detection unit 20, nor the specific position of the position detection unit 20, so as to detect the position information of the human eye of the user.
In addition, the above example indicates that the position detection unit 20 collects the position image of the human eye, and sends the position image of the human eye to the control unit 50 as the position information of the human eye, optionally, the position detection unit 20 may also obtain the distance between the human eye and the display screen 10 according to the position image of the human eye when collecting the position image of the human eye, and directly output the distance to the control unit 50 as the position information of the human eye, which is not described herein again.
In particular, the display device 1 comprises an electro-optical modulator 30, the electro-optical modulator 30 being arranged at the light entrance side of the display screen 10. Optionally, the material of the electro-optic modulator is selected from: lithium niobate crystal (LiNbO)3) Gallium arsenide crystal (GaAs) and lithium tantalate crystal (LiTaO)3) At least one of (1). Of course, this is merely exemplary, and the electro-optic modulator may be made of other materials as long as the material can change the refractive index based on voltage control.
With continued reference to fig. 2 and 3, the electronic grating 40 is disposed on the side of the electro-optic modulator 30 remote from the display screen 10. Alternatively, referring to fig. 3, the electronic grating 40 is a liquid crystal grating, and includes a lower electrode substrate 41, a lower electrode 42, a liquid crystal layer 43, an upper electrode 44, a common electrode, and a common electrode substrate 46. Wherein the orthographic projections of the lower electrodes 42 and the upper electrodes 44 on the lower substrate 41 are alternately distributed, and the electric field generated between the lower electrodes 42 and the upper electrodes 44 drives the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 43 to deflect to control the light transmission and the light non-transmission of different areas so as to realize the grating effect. In the present application, the electron grating 40 may be fixed to be constant at a maximum grating aperture ratio of 50%.
In the embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 2, the display device 1 further includes a control unit 50, the control unit 50 controls the position detection unit 20 to detect the position information of the human eyes, for example, controls the position detection unit 20 to collect the position image of the human eyes and receives the position image of the human eyes as the position information of the human eyes; the voltage applied to the electro-optical modulator 30 may be controlled based on the received human eye position image so that the left eye image and the right eye image are incident to the left eye and the right eye of the human eye, respectively, when the display device 1 performs stereoscopic display. Specifically, the control unit 50 may obtain a distance of the human eye from the display screen 10 based on the position image of the human eye and control the voltage applied to the electro-optical modulator 30 based on the distance.
Of course, as shown in fig. 2, the control unit 50 may also integrate the display driving control function of the display screen 10 and the control function of controlling the voltages of the lower electrode 42 and the upper electrode 44 of the electronic grating 40, but the application is not limited thereto, and the control unit 50 may be only a control unit for controlling the voltages applied to the electro-optical modulator 30, and the description thereof is omitted here.
Referring to fig. 3, the display device 1 further includes: a first polarizer 61 arranged between the display screen 10 and the electro-optical modulator 30, a second polarizer 62 arranged on the light incident side of the electron grating 40, and a third polarizer 63 arranged on the light emergent side of the display screen 10, each polarizer being used to adjust the polarization direction of the light and also constituting the propagation medium of the light in the display device. In particular, the first polarizer 61 is disposed on the surface of the driving circuit substrate 11 away from the light exit side of the display panel 10, and is bonded to the surface of the electro-optical modulator 30 away from the electronic grating 40.
The imaging, control principle and structural advantages of the display device of the embodiment of the present application are described further below with reference to fig. 4 to 6.
Referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of stereo imaging when the human eye is at the optimal viewing distance S is shown. Wherein, the distance from the human eye to the display screen 10 is S, and the height from the opening of the electronic grating 40 to the display screen 10 is H. As can be seen from fig. 4, when light enters the display screen from the opening of the electronic grating 40 and exits to the human eye, the light is actually refracted because the refractive index of the medium between the opening of the electronic grating 40 and the display screen is different from that of air, and the medium which refracts the light entering from the opening of the electronic grating 40 at the display screen 10 becomes a refractive medium in the present application. Specifically, a refractive medium 100 is shown, the refractive medium comprising: the drive circuit substrate 11, the first polarizing plate 61, the electro-optical modulator 30, and the common electrode substrate 42 of the electronic grating 40. Therefore, the height H represents the thickness of the refractive medium 100, and is also referred to as the placement height of the electron grating 40. The equivalent height h is given after taking into account the refractive effect of the refractive medium 100.
As can also be seen from fig. 4, the sub-pixel 1 and the sub-pixel 2 respectively emit a left-eye image and a right-eye image, and light of the two sub-pixels near the edges of the sub-pixels at the optimal viewing distance S can also be incident to the left eye and the right eye, respectively, so that the electronic raster at the optimal viewing distance S may have a maximum aperture ratio, which is 50%.
Fig. 5 shows a geometrical relationship diagram obtained after considering the equivalent height, wherein the dotted line represents the right-eye image ray of another sub-pixel adjacent to the sub-pixel 1. The sub-pixel width is P, the interpupillary distance is L, the opening distance of the electronic grating is a, and the distance of the opaque portion of the electronic grating 40 is B.
The left eye e1, the sub-pixel 1, and the opening of the electronic raster 40 may form a similar triangular relationship that satisfies:
Figure BDA0003614666000000071
the left-eye e1 and right-eye e2, the sub-pixel 1, and the left-eye image light at the focus of the equivalent height may form a similar triangle relationship, which satisfies:
Figure BDA0003614666000000072
the right eye e2, sub-pixel 1 and sub-pixel 2, and the distance between the opening of the electronic grating 40 and the opaque region may constitute a similar triangular relationship that satisfies:
Figure BDA0003614666000000073
the equivalent height can be obtained by solving the expressions (1), (2) and (3) simultaneously:
Figure BDA0003614666000000074
further consider simultaneously the geometric relationship between the equivalent height H and the thickness of the refractive medium 100, i.e., the placement height H. Wherein the refractive index n of the refractive medium and the refractive index of air are n 1. It should be noted that the refractive index n represents the refractive index of the refractive medium when the human eye is located at the optimal viewing distance of the display device, with the understanding that the refractive index is generally a known parameter in the design of display device products.
Referring to fig. 6, the formula for the refractive index can be used to derive: n1 sin theta 1 n sin theta,
simultaneously:
Figure BDA0003614666000000075
where θ represents an incident angle of a light ray incident to an interface of the refractive medium and air, and θ 1 represents a refraction angle.
From the above relationship it follows:
Figure BDA0003614666000000081
at the same time, the user can select the desired position,
Figure BDA0003614666000000082
assuming that the pupil distance of the human eye is 65mm and the optimal viewing distance is 450mm, the inverse trigonometric function can be used to obtain the angle theta 1 ≈ 4.08 deg. and angle theta ≈ 2.73 deg..
Thus, the number of the first and second electrodes,
Figure BDA0003614666000000083
so x ≈ a.
Thus, it is possible to provide
Figure BDA0003614666000000084
Obtaining:
Figure BDA0003614666000000085
when the air refractive index n is substituted to 1, the thickness of the refractive medium 100, that is, the standing height H is obtained, and the relationship between the height H obtained by converting the refractive index of the refractive medium is:
H=h*n (6)
when the human eye views the stereoscopic image, when the human eye is at the optimal viewing distance S of the display device, the reduced height of the electronic raster 40 at this time satisfies expression (4), and the expression (4) is substituted into expression (6) to obtain:
Figure BDA0003614666000000086
when the human eye approaches or moves away from the display screen 10, the viewing distance of the human eye becomes SxAt this time:
obtained from expression (4):
Figure BDA0003614666000000087
thereby obtaining the refractive index n of the refraction medium 100 influencing the light path direction from the electronic grating 40 to the light-emitting side of the display screen 10x
Figure BDA0003614666000000088
It will be appreciated that when the distance of the human eye from the display screen 10 is the optimum viewing distance S, nxN, still satisfied.
That is, according to expression (8) obtained in the present application, it is only necessary to obtain the distance S from the human eye to the display screen 10xTherefore, the stereoscopic image display function that the left and right eyes do not interfere with each other when the maximum aperture ratio of the electronic raster is satisfied at the viewing distance can be uniquely obtained.
In other words, through the above study and derivation, in the embodiment of the present application, at the time of stereoscopic display, the voltage applied to the electro-optical modulator 30 is controlled based on the position information detected by the position detection unit 20 by the setting control unit 50, so thatRefractive index n of the refraction medium from the electronic grating to the light path direction of the light-emitting side of the display screen 10xSatisfying expression (8), then can make the left eye image and the right eye image of display device 1 incident left eye and right eye of people's eye respectively, and needn't reduce the aperture opening ratio of electron grating this moment to when can making the distance of people's eye to display screen no longer be best viewing distance, still can be under the condition of the screen brightness that does not reduce the display screen and do not increase backlight unit's light-emitting luminance and power consumption, realize the clear eye 3D that left and right eyes are noiseless shows, improved user and watched experience, reduced the use cost of product, prolonged the life of product.
Preferably, in order to make the control process of the control unit 50 simpler, the inventors further derive an expression of the refractive index of the electro-optical modulator 30. Specifically, at the time of stereoscopic display, the control unit 50 controls the voltage applied to the electro-optical modulator 30 based on the position information detected by the position detection unit 20 so that the refractive index n of the electro-optical modulator 303xSatisfies the following conditions:
Figure BDA0003614666000000091
wherein d is1Thickness of the driver circuit substrate 11, n1Refractive index of the driving circuit substrate 11, d2Is the thickness of the first polarizer 61, n2Is a refractive index of the first polarizing plate 61, d3Thickness of the electro-optic modulator 30, d4Is the thickness of the common electrode substrate 46, n4Is the refractive index of the common electrode substrate 46. It will be appreciated that the refractive indices and thicknesses of the other dielectric layers in the refractive medium 100 may be known.
With this arrangement, the control unit is arranged so that the refractive index of the electro-optical modulator is directly obtained according to expression (9) based on the position information of the human eye detected by the position detection unit 20.
