Description

具有高分子發光二極體的電子裝置Electronic device with polymer light-emitting diode

本發明是有關於一種具有發光二極體之電子裝置,特別是指一種利用高分子發光二極體作為背光源的電子裝置。The present invention relates to an electronic device having a light-emitting diode, and more particularly to an electronic device using a polymer light-emitting diode as a backlight.

如台灣專利證書號M317029號所揭露,為一種具有背光功能的鍵盤,其係在鍵盤設置多數顆發光二極體(LED),藉由發光二極體提供的光源,以供使用者可輕易地辨識鍵盤各個鍵帽所在位置。只是,由於LED本身為點光源的特性,若不加以處理,很容易帶來明亮不均的問題。為了讓LED的光源能夠均勻地分佈,傳統發光鍵盤均利用導光元件將LED的光源作適當地分散(例如前述案件是增設一導光板)。然而,設置導光元件除了會增加成本以外,光線通過導光元件時,也容易因光強度衰減等問題,導致亮度不足,或著是當導光元件製作不佳時,光線仍然無法有效均勻分佈。As disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. M317029, it is a keyboard with a backlight function, which is provided with a plurality of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the keyboard, and the light source provided by the light-emitting diodes can be easily used by the user. Identify the location of each keycap on the keyboard. However, since the LED itself is a point light source, if it is not processed, it is easy to cause a problem of uneven brightness. In order to enable the light source of the LED to be evenly distributed, the conventional illuminating keyboard uses the light guiding element to appropriately disperse the light source of the LED (for example, the above case is to add a light guide plate). However, in addition to increasing the cost of the light guiding element, when the light passes through the light guiding element, the light intensity is likely to be attenuated due to problems such as light intensity degradation, or the light is still not effectively distributed even when the light guiding element is poorly fabricated. .

除此之外,如台灣案證書號M335734號所揭露,是一種利用OLED作為鍵盤背光源的發光鍵盤,雖然OLED具有面光源的特性而可省略如上述導光元件的設置,但是,由於OLED係屬於半導體製程,製程較複雜。In addition, as disclosed in Taiwan Patent No. M335734, it is an illuminated keyboard using OLED as a keyboard backlight. Although the OLED has the characteristics of a surface light source, the arrangement of the light guiding element can be omitted, but due to the OLED system. It is a semiconductor process and the process is complicated.

除此之外,現今一般電子裝置例如筆記型電腦,其外殼均是以圖案、花紋或材質本身之質感、特性作為靜態裝飾,而若能將電子裝置外殼的裝飾設置成動態方式,不僅可使其裝飾能力更生動,也可提高電子產品的附加價值。In addition, in today's general electronic devices, such as notebook computers, the outer casing is decorated with the texture and characteristics of the pattern, the pattern or the material itself, and if the decoration of the electronic device casing is set to a dynamic manner, Its decorative ability is more vivid, and it can also increase the added value of electronic products.

因此,為解決前述問題,本發明係提供一種利用可印刷製程的高分子發光二極體(PLED)作為背光源的電子裝置及其製造方法。Therefore, in order to solve the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides an electronic device using a polymerizable light-emitting diode (PLED) of a printable process as a backlight and a method of manufacturing the same.

步驟B:將設置多數透光區的一電子裝置外殼,覆蓋至高分子發光二極體模組上,以使該等高分子發光單元分別對應於該外殼的該等透光區。Step B: covering an electronic device housing of the plurality of transparent regions to the polymer light emitting diode module, so that the polymer light emitting units respectively correspond to the light transmitting regions of the outer casing.

較佳地,於該步驟A中,是用印刷手段在該薄膜基材上形成預定顏色的多數高分子發光單元。Preferably, in the step A, a plurality of polymer light-emitting units of a predetermined color are formed on the film substrate by a printing means.

較佳地,於該步驟A中,該電極組可為印刷於該薄膜基材的導電線路或再加上該等高分子發光單元的陽極、陰極。Preferably, in the step A, the electrode group may be a conductive line printed on the film substrate or an anode or a cathode of the polymer light-emitting unit.

本發明具有高分子發光二極體的電子裝置包含一電子裝置以及一高分子發光二極體模組。該電子裝置包括一外殼及一設置於該外殼內的電子元件模組,且該外殼具有多數透光區。該高分子發光二極體模組包括一具撓性的薄膜基材以及設置於該薄膜基材的多數高分子發光單元,其中,該電子裝置的外殼覆蓋住該高分子發光二極體模組且該等高分子發光單元分別對應該等透光區。The electronic device having the polymer light emitting diode of the present invention comprises an electronic device and a polymer light emitting diode module. The electronic device includes a casing and an electronic component module disposed in the casing, and the casing has a plurality of light transmitting regions.

When the electronic device is a keyboard, the referenced outer casing is a key cap of the keyboard. When the electronic device is a notebook computer, the referenced outer casing is the notebook type. The back panel of the computer's screen.

由於該高分子發光二極體模組具有面光源的特性,故相較於以往以傳統LED作為背光源的方式,便可省去導光元件的設置而節省成本。而相較於以導體製程之OLED作為電子裝置背光源的做法,由於高分子發光二極體模組可以印刷方式製造,且其薄膜基材具有可撓性,故具有製造較簡單,成本較低,並且應用層面較廣的優勢。Since the polymer light-emitting diode module has the characteristics of a surface light source, the arrangement of the light guiding element can be omitted and the cost can be saved compared with the conventional method of using the conventional LED as a backlight. Compared with the OLED of the conductor process as the backlight of the electronic device, since the polymer light-emitting diode module can be manufactured by printing, and the film substrate has flexibility, it has simple manufacturing and low cost. And the advantages of a wider application level.

步驟51:於電子裝置外殼設置多數透光區。電子裝置1包括一外殼11以及一設置於外殼11內部的電子元件模組112,且外殼11具有多數個透光區111。Step 51: A plurality of transparent areas are disposed on the outer casing of the electronic device. The electronic device 1 includes a casing 11 and an electronic component module 112 disposed inside the casing 11, and the casing 11 has a plurality of light transmitting regions 111.

在本實施例中,若電子裝置1為鍵盤時,其進一步包括一底座13、設置在底座13上的多數鍵帽、一電路板及一支撐片14,且支撐片14具有多數個用以支撐該等鍵帽的支撐部141。在第一較佳實施例中,所謂的外殼11可為鍵盤的多數鍵帽,而所謂的電子元件模組112則為鍵盤內的電路板。這其中,在外殼11上的所謂透光區111是分別位在每一個鍵帽上並且呈數字、注音符號、文字、圖形、符號其中一者的外型輪廓。換句話說,本實施例的透光區111是將設置在鍵帽上而代表該鍵帽功能的數字、注音符號、文字、圖形或符號設置成可透光的形式而形成,但並不以此為限,透光區111也可以是將鍵帽的局部區域設置成可透光或部分透光的形式而形成。In the embodiment, if the electronic device 1 is a keyboard, the device further includes a base 13 , a plurality of key caps disposed on the base 13 , a circuit board and a support piece 14 , and the support piece 14 has a plurality of supports for supporting The support portion 141 of the key caps. In the first preferred embodiment, the so-called outer casing 11 can be a plurality of keycaps of the keyboard, and the so-called electronic component module 112 is a circuit board within the keyboard. Among them, the so-called light-transmissive area 111 on the outer casing 11 is an outer contour which is located on each of the keycaps and which is one of a number, a phonetic symbol, a character, a figure, and a symbol. In other words, the light-transmitting region 111 of the present embodiment is formed by setting a number, a phonetic symbol, a character, a figure, or a symbol disposed on the keycap to represent the function of the keycap to be permeable to light, but not For this reason, the light-transmitting region 111 may also be formed in a form in which a partial region of the key cap is disposed to be transparent or partially transparent.

步驟52:提供一高分子發光二極體模組2。Step 52: Providing a polymer light emitting diode module 2.

在本實施例中,高分子發光二極體模組2具有一薄膜基材21、設置在薄膜基材21的多數個高分子發光單元22以及電性連接該等高分子發光單元22的導電線路23。每一個高分子發光單元22大致具有依序設置在薄膜基材21上的一陽極(anode,圖未示)、一高分子發光層(light-emitting polymer layer,圖未示)、一陰極(cathode,圖未示)、介於陽極與高分子發光層之間的電洞傳輸層(hole transport layer)以及一介於高分子發光層與陰極之間的電子傳輸層(electron transport layer)。上述陽極的材質為具有透光性的銦錫氧化物(indium tin oxide,ITO),其通常是以蝕刻(etch)或印刷方式預先形成於薄膜基材21上,而高分子發光層可以是以網板印刷(screen printing)、噴墨印刷(in-jet printing)及塗佈其中一種方式設置於陽極(或電洞傳輸層)上。關於高分子發光二極體模組2的細部製程方法與結構屬於既有技術,在此不累述。In the present embodiment, the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 has a film substrate 21, a plurality of polymer light-emitting units 22 disposed on the film substrate 21, and conductive lines electrically connected to the polymer light-emitting units 22. twenty three. Each of the polymer light-emitting units 22 has an anode (not shown), a light-emitting polymer layer (not shown), and a cathode (cathode) disposed on the film substrate 21 in sequence. The figure is not shown, a hole transport layer between the anode and the polymer light-emitting layer, and an electron transport layer between the polymer light-emitting layer and the cathode. The material of the anode is translucent indium tin oxide (ITO), which is usually formed on the film substrate 21 by etching or printing, and the polymer light emitting layer may be One of the methods of screen printing, in-jet printing, and coating is provided on the anode (or the hole transport layer). The detailed process method and structure of the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 are prior art and are not described here.

步驟53:將該高分子發光二極體模組設置於該電子裝置外殼的內側。Step 53: The polymer light-emitting diode module is disposed inside the outer casing of the electronic device.

如圖1所示,為了使得鍵帽上透光區111所代表的數字、注音符號、文字、圖形或符號得以被照亮,須以高分子發光二極體模組2作為鍵盤的背光源。只是,為了支撐鍵帽與辨識按鍵的被按壓狀態,在鍵帽下方需設有支撐片14與電路板。然而,這將導致高分子發光二極體模組2的光線會被支撐片14與電路板所遮蔽或部分遮蔽,而難以到達鍵帽上透光區111。因此,電路板及支撐片14較佳可採用具透光性的材質,使得高分子發光單元22的光線能穿過支撐片14及電路板,而較充分地透射鍵帽上透光區111。另外,在其他的實施態樣中,高分子發光二極體模組2的位置也可以是設置在電路板與支撐片14之間,而該等鍵帽則是設置在電路板上方,或者,高分子發光二極體模組2的位置也可以是在鍵帽與電路板之間,而支撐片14則是位於電路板下方。當然,後者這兩種實施態樣時,高分子發光二極體模組2的薄膜基材21便需要再設置可供下方支撐片14之支撐部141穿伸通過的開孔(圖未示)。As shown in FIG. 1, in order to illuminate the numbers, phonetic symbols, characters, figures or symbols represented by the light-transmitting area 111 on the keycap, the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 is used as a backlight of the keyboard. However, in order to support the pressed state of the keycap and the identification button, the support piece 14 and the circuit board are provided under the keycap. However, this will cause the light of the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 to be shielded or partially shielded by the support sheet 14 and the circuit board, and it is difficult to reach the light-transmitting region 111 on the key cap. Therefore, the circuit board and the supporting sheet 14 are preferably made of a light transmissive material, so that the light of the polymer light emitting unit 22 can pass through the supporting sheet 14 and the circuit board, and the light transmitting area 111 on the key cap is sufficiently transmitted. In addition, in other implementations, the position of the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 may also be disposed between the circuit board and the support sheet 14, and the key caps are disposed above the circuit board, or The position of the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 may also be between the key cap and the circuit board, and the support piece 14 is located below the circuit board. Of course, in the latter embodiment, the film substrate 21 of the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 needs to be provided with an opening through which the support portion 141 of the lower support piece 14 passes (not shown). .

在本實施例中,由於高分子發光二極體模組2是用以作為鍵盤的背光源,因此,可使該等高分子發光單元22的排列位置對應欲設置之鍵盤的鍵帽位置排列,使得鍵帽上透光區111所代表的數字、注音符號、文字、圖形或符號得以被照亮,而讓使用者清楚觀察到每個按鍵的功能。In this embodiment, since the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 is used as a backlight of the keyboard, the arrangement positions of the polymer light-emitting units 22 can be arranged corresponding to the keycap positions of the keyboard to be set. The numbers, phonetic symbols, characters, figures or symbols represented by the light-transmissive area 111 on the keycap are illuminated, and the user is clearly observed the function of each key.

補充說明的是,由於本實施例的高分子發光二極體模組2是用以作為鍵盤的背光源,所以,在形成該等高分子發光單元22時,可以將不同顏色的高分子發光材料以不同網板或其他手段在薄膜基材21中不同按鍵區域上印刷不同顏色的高分子發光材料,並將設置多數透光區的一電子裝置外殼,覆蓋至高分子發光二極體模組上,使該等高分子發光單元22對應鍵盤不同功能的按鍵區域,以便在點亮該等高分子發光單元22時,讓使用者依據不同顏色輕易判別出不同的按鍵類型區域。當然,該等高分子發光單元22也可以是印刷同一種顏色的高分子發光材料。It is to be noted that, since the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 of the present embodiment is used as a backlight of a keyboard, when the polymer light-emitting units 22 are formed, polymer light-emitting materials of different colors can be used. Printing different color luminescent materials on different button regions of the film substrate 21 by using different stencils or other means, and covering an electronic device casing with a plurality of transparent regions to cover the polymer light-emitting diode module. The polymer light-emitting units 22 are arranged to correspond to key areas of different functions of the keyboard, so that when the polymer light-emitting units 22 are illuminated, the user can easily distinguish different key type areas according to different colors. Of course, the polymer light-emitting units 22 may be printed with a polymer light-emitting material of the same color.

步驟54:於該電子裝置設置一控制模組。在本實施例中,為了控制高分子發光二極體模組2整體發亮效果,可透過控制模組3經由導電線路23傳送控制訊號至高分子發光二極體模組2,以控制高分子發光二極體模組2中特定數量的多數個高分子發光單元22發光及不發光。控制模組3透過導電線路23電性連接至多數個高分子發光單元22陽極與陰極,而在控制模組3與多數個高分子發光單元22之間傳送控制訊號。Step 54: Set a control module on the electronic device. In this embodiment, in order to control the overall brightening effect of the polymer light-emitting diode module 2, the control signal can be transmitted to the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 via the conductive line 23 through the control module 3 to control the polymer light-emitting. A specific number of the plurality of polymer light-emitting units 22 in the diode module 2 emit light and do not emit light. The control module 3 is electrically connected to the anode and cathode of the plurality of polymer light-emitting units 22 through the conductive line 23, and transmits a control signal between the control module 3 and the plurality of polymer light-emitting units 22.

控制模組3包括一電源供應器31、一控制器32及一驅動組件33。在本實施例中,控制器32為一設置在鍵盤電路板的微控制器(Microcontroller Unit,MCU),驅動組件33為設置在電路板的通用輸入/輸出埠(General Purpose I/O,GPIO)。The control module 3 includes a power supply 31, a controller 32, and a drive assembly 33. In this embodiment, the controller 32 is a microcontroller (MCU) disposed on the keyboard circuit board, and the driving component 33 is a general purpose input/output (General Purpose I/O, GPIO) disposed on the circuit board. .

控制模組3控制高分子發光二極體模組2的方式可以是例如:當Shift按鍵被按下後,MCU額外傳送一訊號至控制器32,使得控制器32再透過驅動組件33點亮對應於Shift鍵帽下方的該一高分子發光單元22,藉此提示使用者Shift按鍵確實被按下了。The control module 3 can control the polymer light-emitting diode module 2 by, for example, when the Shift button is pressed, the MCU additionally transmits a signal to the controller 32, so that the controller 32 is further illuminated by the driving component 33. The polymer light-emitting unit 22 under the Shift keycap, thereby prompting the user that the Shift button is actually pressed.

此外,利用控制器32也可選擇性點亮或不點亮特定位置的高分子發光單元22,以提供變化性發亮的鍵盤。例如:當Shift按鍵被按下後,控制器32透過驅動組件33先點亮Shift鍵帽下方的高分子發光單元22後,再點亮Shift鍵周圍鍵帽下方的高分子發光單元22。In addition, the controller 32 can also selectively illuminate or not illuminate the polymer light-emitting unit 22 at a specific position to provide a variably brightened keyboard. For example, when the Shift button is pressed, the controller 32 first illuminates the polymer light emitting unit 22 under the Shift keycap through the driving unit 33, and then lights up the polymer light emitting unit 22 under the key cap around the Shift key.

如上所述,由於高分子發光單元22本身即具有高均勻性的面光源特性,因此在採用高分子發光單元22作為鍵盤的背光源時,即使不設置導光元件,也不會有均勻光線分佈不均勻或光強度衰減等問題,當然,整體光線的均勻性也不用受限於導光元件的製作品質。As described above, since the polymer light-emitting unit 22 itself has a high-uniformity of the surface light source characteristics, when the polymer light-emitting unit 22 is used as the backlight of the keyboard, even if the light guiding element is not provided, there is no uniform light distribution. Problems such as unevenness or attenuation of light intensity, of course, the uniformity of the overall light is not limited by the manufacturing quality of the light guiding element.

參閱圖5~圖7,為本發明具有高分子發光二極體的電子裝置1’的第二較佳實施例。在第二較佳實施例中,所謂電子裝置1’為筆記型電腦,其進一步包括一主機機體41及一連接在主機機體41的螢幕機體42,且螢幕機體42具有一顯示面板及一背板。在第二較佳實施例中,所指的電子裝置1’的外殼11’為螢幕機體42的背板,而所謂的電子元件模組112’為螢幕機體42的顯示面板。在此實施例中,高分子發光二極體模組2’是設置在背板面向顯示面板的內側,所謂的透光區111’在第二較佳實施例中為設置在背板的穿孔。換言之,當高分子發光二極體模組2’設置在背板內側時,高分子發光二極體模組2’的該等高分子發光單元22’分別對應該等透光區111’,使得當該等高分子發光單元22’發光時,其光線分別可藉該等透光區111’射出。Referring to Figures 5 to 7, a second preferred embodiment of an electronic device 1' having a polymer light-emitting diode according to the present invention is shown. In the second preferred embodiment, the electronic device 1' is a notebook computer, and further includes a main body 41 and a screen body 42 connected to the main body 41, and the screen body 42 has a display panel and a backboard. . In the second preferred embodiment, the outer casing 11' of the electronic device 1' is the back panel of the screen body 42, and the so-called electronic component module 112' is the display panel of the screen body 42. In this embodiment, the polymer light-emitting diode module 2' is disposed on the inner side of the back panel facing the display panel, and the so-called light-transmitting region 111' is a perforation disposed in the back panel in the second preferred embodiment. In other words, when the polymer light-emitting diode module 2' is disposed inside the backplane, the polymer light-emitting units 22' of the polymer light-emitting diode module 2' respectively correspond to the light-transmitting regions 111', so that When the polymer light-emitting units 22' emit light, the light rays can be emitted from the light-transmitting regions 111', respectively.

為了保護高分子發光二極體模組2’,屬於透光區111’的穿孔上可設置透明鏡片,以避免灰塵或水氣經由穿孔進入外殼11’內部。In order to protect the polymer light-emitting diode module 2', a transparent lens may be disposed on the perforations belonging to the light-transmitting region 111' to prevent dust or moisture from entering the inside of the casing 11' via the perforations.

除此之外,在第二較佳實施例中,控制模組3’的驅動組件33’可為一驅動積體電路(driver IC),控制器32’內同樣可載有對該等高分子發光單元22’的各種驅動順序模式。換言之,同樣透過驅動組件33’,便可控制高分子發光二極體模組2’上的該等高分子發光單元22’依照控制器32’內之驅動順序發光或不發光,使位在背板內側的該等高分子發光單元22’藉由控制模組3’的控制而顯示出不同的發光變化(例如使該等高分子發光單元22’整體以跑馬燈或波浪狀的方式發光顯示等等)而具有動態裝飾的效果。另外,在本實施例中,高分子發光二極體模組2’的多數高分子發光單元22’可以設置成圖形輪廓、文字輪廓或圖形與文字的組合,藉以增加其顯示的多樣性。In addition, in the second preferred embodiment, the driving component 33' of the control module 3' can be a driver IC, and the controller 32 can also carry the polymer. Various driving sequence modes of the light emitting unit 22'. In other words, through the driving component 33', the polymer light emitting units 22' on the polymer light emitting diode module 2' can be controlled to emit light or not in accordance with the driving sequence in the controller 32'. The polymer light-emitting units 22 ′ on the inner side of the board display different light-emitting changes by the control of the control module 3 ′ (for example, the polymer light-emitting units 22 ′ are collectively illuminated in a marquee or wave manner. And so on) with a dynamic decoration effect. Further, in the present embodiment, the plurality of polymer light-emitting units 22' of the polymer light-emitting diode module 2' can be provided in a pattern outline, a character outline, or a combination of a figure and a character, thereby increasing the diversity of display.

由於本發明第二較佳實施例的製造方法與前一較佳實施例大致相同,於此便不再重複說明。Since the manufacturing method of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as that of the previous preferred embodiment, the description thereof will not be repeated.

補充說明的是,由於高分子發光二極體模組2、2’的薄膜基材21、21’本身即具有可撓性而可隨其所設置的表面變形,因此在應用時,高分子發光二極體模組2、2’也可與外殼結構為曲面或不規則形狀的電子裝置配合,相較於通常以玻璃為基板的OLED,也具有較廣泛的應用層面。In addition, since the film substrates 21 and 21 ′ of the polymer light-emitting diode modules 2 and 2 ′ themselves have flexibility and can be deformed with the surface provided thereto, the polymer light is emitted during application.
