具有對稱擴散膜的顯示裝置 Display device with symmetric diffusion film

本發明是有關於一種具有一對稱擴散膜的顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種具有一觸控面板和一對稱擴散膜的顯示裝置,使光線具有均勻的亮度分佈。 The present invention relates to a display device having a symmetric diffusion film, and more particularly to a display device having a touch panel and a symmetric diffusion film to provide a uniform brightness distribution of light.

觸控面板已被廣泛地應用在電子產品上,例如手持式電子產品(手機、個人數位助理...等等)或是平板電腦等許多相關產品,以做為輸入裝置方便使用者與之進行互動。觸控面板是一具有觸控感測器的電子顯示面板,當觸碰發生時可偵測在觸碰感知區域內或顯示區域內的觸碰位置。一般可透過手指、手或一物件如觸控筆來進行面板觸控。 Touch panels have been widely used in electronic products, such as handheld electronic products (mobile phones, personal digital assistants, etc.) or many related products such as tablets, as an input device for users to carry out with them. interactive. The touch panel is an electronic display panel with a touch sensor that can detect a touch position in the touch sensing area or in the display area when a touch occurs. Panel touch is generally possible by finger, hand or an object such as a stylus.

觸控感測技術中四種最常見的技術包括電阻式(resistive)觸控、紅外線(infrared)觸控、電容式(capacitive)觸控與表面聲波式(SAW,surface acoustic wave)觸控。每一種技術都存在有它獨特的優點也有缺點。電阻式和電容式觸控感測技術由於其良好可靠度而有最廣泛的應用。電容式觸控感測技術具有僅需 微小的觸碰力道且能支持多點觸控的優點,而使用電阻式觸控感測技術的電阻式觸控面板則無法得知同時多點觸碰發生時的該些位置。然而,由於製造過程中需要多道光學微影步驟,電容式觸控感測顯示面板的成本高,再者電容式觸控感測器偵測和決定多點觸碰位置的技術也很複雜。 The four most common technologies in touch sensing technology include resistive touch, infrared touch, capacitive touch and surface acoustic wave (SAW) touch. Each technology has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Resistive and capacitive touch sensing technologies have the widest range of applications due to their good reliability. Capacitive touch sensing technology has only needed The small touch force can support the advantages of multi-touch, and the resistive touch panel using the resistive touch sensing technology cannot know the positions when multiple touches occur at the same time. However, due to the need for multiple optical lithography steps in the manufacturing process, the cost of the capacitive touch sensing display panel is high, and the technique of detecting and determining the multi-touch position by the capacitive touch sensor is also complicated.

對觸控面板而言,依據將觸控感測器整合至顯示面板的位置區分,可分為三種:內嵌式觸控(In-Cell touch)、表面式(On-Cell touch)和外掛式(Out-Cell touch)。一內嵌式觸控顯示裝置是將觸控感測器物理式地整合至顯示單元(display cell)(如LCD顯示單元)裡,而觸控感測器可以是光學感測元件(light-sensing elements)(光學感測)、微動開關(micro-switches)(電壓感測)和電容電極(capacitive electrodes)(電荷感測)。一表面式觸控顯示裝置是將觸控感測器加在一彩色濾光片基板的上表層,例如,一X-Y陣列之導體(如ITO或金屬)設置在彩色濾光片基板的頂表面或底表面。一外掛式觸控顯示裝置是在沒有觸控功能的顯示面板(如LCD)外部再直接層疊一觸控感測器。 For the touch panel, it can be divided into three types according to the position where the touch sensor is integrated into the display panel: In-Cell touch, On-Cell touch, and plug-in (Out-Cell touch). An in-cell touch display device physically integrates the touch sensor into a display cell (such as an LCD display unit), and the touch sensor can be an optical sensing component (light-sensing) Elements) (optical sensing), micro-switches (voltage sensing) and capacitive electrodes (charge sensing). A surface touch display device is provided with a touch sensor applied to an upper surface of a color filter substrate. For example, an XY array conductor (such as ITO or metal) is disposed on the top surface of the color filter substrate or Bottom surface. An external touch display device directly stacks a touch sensor outside a display panel (such as an LCD) without a touch function.

以內嵌式和表面式整合方式之觸控為例,其觸控感測器之一或多層感測電極可設置在一彩色濾光片基板上。第1圖係繪示一傳統觸控面板,其具有一觸控感測器整合至一顯示面板之示意圖。如第1圖所示,一顯示面板包括一薄膜電晶體(TFT)玻璃基板11、一彩色濾光片(CF)玻璃基板13、設置於TFT玻璃基板11和CF玻璃基板13之間的一液晶層15、和位於TFT玻璃 基板11下方之一背光模組17以朝前方發出光線。一黑色矩陣層(black matrix layer)133(如線寬大約6μm)可更形成於CF玻璃基板13之內側。第1圖所示之觸控面板包括位於CF玻璃基板13上的觸控感測器,觸控感測器例如是感測電極19(如金屬電極,線寬小於6μm)且對應黑色矩陣層133。由於CF玻璃基板13厚度(如約0.2mm)的視差效應(parallax effect)和感測電極19阻擋光線的影響,從離軸(off-axis)之側視角度觀看觸控面板時會出現亮度分佈缺陷(luminance distribution mura)。 For example, in the touch-integrated and surface-integrated touch, one or more of the touch sensors may be disposed on a color filter substrate. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a conventional touch panel having a touch sensor integrated into a display panel. As shown in FIG. 1 , a display panel includes a thin film transistor (TFT) glass substrate 11 , a color filter (CF) glass substrate 13 , and a liquid crystal disposed between the TFT glass substrate 11 and the CF glass substrate 13 . Layer 15, and located in the TFT glass A backlight module 17 below the substrate 11 emits light toward the front. A black matrix layer 133 (e.g., a line width of about 6 μm) may be formed on the inner side of the CF glass substrate 13. The touch panel shown in FIG. 1 includes a touch sensor on the CF glass substrate 13. The touch sensor is, for example, a sensing electrode 19 (such as a metal electrode having a line width of less than 6 μm) and corresponding to the black matrix layer 133. . Due to the parallax effect of the thickness of the CF glass substrate 13 (e.g., about 0.2 mm) and the effect of the sensing electrode 19 blocking light, a luminance distribution occurs when the touch panel is viewed from a side view angle off-axis. Luminance distribution mura.

第2圖係為第1圖之傳統觸控面板(具有顯示面板和觸控感測器)和一般顯示面板的亮度分佈模擬結果。對不具觸控感測器的顯示面板來說,亮度分佈是呈現一平滑曲線(smooth curve),且亮度隨視角(Theta;對垂直軸之角度)增加而下降。雖然如第1圖所示之傳統觸控面板在亮度分佈上也和一般顯示面板有類似趨勢,但由於感測電極19和黑色矩陣層133的干擾,使其亮度分佈呈現一不平滑曲線(uneven curve);因此當從離軸角度觀看如第1圖所示之觸控面板時會看到亮度分佈缺陷。 2 is a simulation result of luminance distribution of a conventional touch panel (having a display panel and a touch sensor) of FIG. 1 and a general display panel. For a display panel without a touch sensor, the brightness distribution exhibits a smooth curve, and the brightness decreases as the viewing angle (Theta; the angle to the vertical axis) increases. Although the conventional touch panel as shown in FIG. 1 has a similar trend in luminance distribution as the general display panel, the luminance distribution of the sensing electrode 19 and the black matrix layer 133 exhibits an uneven curve (uneven). Curve); therefore, when viewing the touch panel as shown in Fig. 1 from an off-axis angle, a luminance distribution defect is seen.

本發明係有關於一種具有對稱擴散膜(symmetric diffusion film,SDF)的顯示裝置。實施例之具有觸控感測器的一顯示裝置係利用對稱擴散膜解決亮度分佈缺陷(luminance distribution mura)的問題,進而大幅改善呈現在顯示裝置上的影像 品質。 The present invention relates to a display device having a symmetric diffusion film (SDF). A display device with a touch sensor of the embodiment solves the problem of luminance distribution mura by using a symmetric diffusion film, thereby greatly improving the image presented on the display device. quality.

第4圖係為一傳統觸控面板和第一實施例之一顯示裝置的亮度分佈模擬結果。在模擬實驗中,是結合觸控面板與對稱擴散膜作為實施例之一顯示裝置。傳統觸控面板和第一實施例之顯示裝置(具有對稱擴散膜和觸控面板)都採用相同的背光模組。兩者的亮度分佈曲線顯示類似的趨勢-亮度隨視角(Theta;對垂直軸之角度)增加而下降。然而,傳統觸控面板的亮度分佈曲線是不平滑的,實施例之顯示裝置則呈現平滑的亮度分佈曲線,如第4圖所示。當觀看者觀看傳統觸控面板,在離軸角度會看到亮度分佈缺陷。根據第一實施例,具有觸控面板和對稱擴散膜的顯示裝置,觀看時則沒有出現亮度分佈缺陷。因此,根據第一實施例所提出之顯示裝置,其顯示品質大幅提升。 Fig. 4 is a simulation result of luminance distribution of a conventional touch panel and a display device of the first embodiment. In the simulation experiment, a touch panel and a symmetric diffusion film are combined as one display device of the embodiment. The conventional touch panel and the display device of the first embodiment (having a symmetric diffusion film and a touch panel) all use the same backlight module. The brightness distribution curves of the two show a similar trend - the brightness decreases as the viewing angle (Theta; the angle to the vertical axis) increases. However, the brightness distribution curve of the conventional touch panel is not smooth, and the display device of the embodiment exhibits a smooth brightness distribution curve as shown in FIG. When a viewer views a conventional touch panel, a brightness distribution defect is seen at an off-axis angle. According to the first embodiment, the display device having the touch panel and the symmetric diffusion film does not exhibit a luminance distribution defect when viewed. Therefore, according to the display device proposed in the first embodiment, the display quality is greatly improved.

The symmetric diffusion film 50 in FIG. 5 includes three different substances, including a first substance 501, a second substance 502, and a third substance 503, respectively having a first refractive index n1, a second refractive index n2, and a third refractive index n3. . Third refractive index n3 and first refraction The rate n1 and the second index of refraction n2 are not the same. The second substance 502 and the third substance 503 may be dispersed in the first substance 501 in a particle form, the difference between the third refractive index n3 and the second refractive index n2, or the third refractive index n3 and the first refractive index n1 The difference is no more than 0.1.

In one embodiment, at least 50% of the light scattered by the symmetric diffusion film 50 is in the range of ±2 degrees ± 10 degrees (the full width at half maximum HWHM of the symmetric diffusion film).

第二實施例之顯示裝置61或61’包括一觸控面板(touchscreen)611、一準直光背光模組612設置在觸控面板611下方以提供光線至觸控面板611、一上偏光板614、一下偏光板615、和一對稱擴散膜(SDF)617設置在上偏光板614之一側。觸控面板611設置在上偏光板614和下偏光板615之間。且上偏光板614和下偏光板615係相互正交以提供一正交偏振效果。顯示裝置61或61’結構上的差異是在於對稱擴散膜(SDF)617的位置。第6A圖中,對稱擴散617係設置在上偏光板614的上方(即前方)。第6B圖中,對稱擴散膜617係設置在上偏光板614的後方,並位於上偏光板614和觸控面板611之間。第6A圖中,準直光自背光模組612發出後通過下偏光板615、觸控面板611、上偏光板614、和被對稱擴散膜617散射。第6B圖中,準直光自背光模組612發出後通過下偏光板615、觸控面板611、被對稱擴散膜617散射、 和通過上偏光板614。 The display device 61 or 61 ′ of the second embodiment includes a touch screen 611 , and a collimated light backlight module 612 is disposed under the touch panel 611 to provide light to the touch panel 611 and an upper polarizing plate 614 . A lower polarizing plate 615, and a symmetric diffusion film (SDF) 617 are disposed on one side of the upper polarizing plate 614. The touch panel 611 is disposed between the upper polarizing plate 614 and the lower polarizing plate 615. And the upper polarizing plate 614 and the lower polarizing plate 615 are orthogonal to each other to provide an orthogonal polarization effect. The difference in structure of the display device 61 or 61' is in the position of the symmetric diffusion film (SDF) 617. In Fig. 6A, the symmetric diffusion 617 is disposed above (i.e., in front of) the upper polarizer 614. In FIG. 6B, the symmetric diffusion film 617 is disposed behind the upper polarizing plate 614 and between the upper polarizing plate 614 and the touch panel 611. In FIG. 6A, the collimated light is emitted from the backlight module 612 and then scattered by the lower polarizing plate 615, the touch panel 611, the upper polarizing plate 614, and the symmetric diffusion film 617. In FIG. 6B, the collimated light is emitted from the backlight module 612 and then scattered by the lower polarizing plate 615, the touch panel 611, and the symmetric diffusion film 617. And passing through the upper polarizing plate 614.

對稱擴散膜617的結構、材料、各材料之折射率和比例等內容,請參照第一實施例,在此不再贅述。 For the structure and material of the symmetric diffusion film 617, the refractive index and ratio of each material, etc., please refer to the first embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

第7圖係顯示自本揭露第二實施例之一顯示裝置的背光模組發出之一準直光,其正常化光強度(normalized light intensity)對視角之關係圖。設置於觸控面板611下方之準直光背光模組612係提供一準直光朝向觸控面板611。一實施例中,準直光之半高寬值(HWHM)範圍大約5度到20度之間。 Figure 7 is a diagram showing the relationship between the normalized light intensity and the viewing angle of a collimated light emitted from the backlight module of the display device of the second embodiment of the present disclosure. The collimated light backlight module 612 disposed under the touch panel 611 provides a collimated light toward the touch panel 611. In one embodiment, the half-height width (HWHM) of the collimated light ranges between about 5 and 20 degrees.

在第二實施例中,自背光模組612發出之準直光通過下偏光板615、觸控面板611、上偏光板614,並被對稱擴散膜(設置在上偏光板614之一側)617所散射。 In the second embodiment, the collimated light emitted from the backlight module 612 passes through the lower polarizing plate 615, the touch panel 611, the upper polarizing plate 614, and is symmetrically diffused (on one side of the upper polarizing plate 614) 617. Scattered.

第8圖係顯示一傳統背光模組和第二實施例之背光模組,其光線之正常化光強度(normalized light intensity)對視角之關係圖。如第8圖所示,第二實施例之背光模組所發出的準直光,其離軸(例如大於20度之視角)之亮度降低;而垂直軸之亮度提高,約是傳統背光模組之垂直軸亮度的1.5倍。 Fig. 8 is a view showing a relationship between a normalized light intensity and a viewing angle of a conventional backlight module and a backlight module of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 8, the collimated light emitted by the backlight module of the second embodiment is reduced in brightness from an off-axis (for example, a viewing angle greater than 20 degrees); and the brightness of the vertical axis is increased, which is about a conventional backlight module. The vertical axis brightness is 1.5 times.

再者,在實際應用中,對稱擴散膜617的半高寬值(HWHM)可能會受所選用的背光模組所發出之準直光的半高寬值所影響。一實施例中,當準直光的半高寬值為20度,對稱擴散膜617的半高寬值係小於13.5度。注意的是,這裡提到的數值僅為例示之用,並非用以限制本揭露之半高寬值。 Furthermore, in practical applications, the full width at half maximum (HWHM) of the symmetric diffusion film 617 may be affected by the full width at half maximum of the collimated light emitted by the backlight module selected. In one embodiment, when the half-height width of the collimated light is 20 degrees, the full width at half maximum of the symmetric diffusion film 617 is less than 13.5 degrees. It is noted that the numerical values mentioned herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the half-height values of the present disclosure.

第9圖係為一傳統觸控面板和第二實施例之一顯示 裝置的亮度分佈模擬結果。在模擬實驗中,第二實施例之顯示裝置具有觸控感測器、對稱擴散膜與準直光背光模組。兩者的亮度分佈曲線顯示類似的趨勢-亮度隨視角(Theta;對垂直軸之角度)增加而下降。然而根據模擬結果,傳統觸控面板的亮度分佈曲線是不平滑的,第二實施例之顯示裝置則呈現平滑的亮度分佈曲線。再者,第二實施例之顯示裝置的背光模組,其光線在垂直軸之亮度(約600nits)係高於傳統背光模組光線在垂直軸之亮度(約500nits),如第9圖所示。 Figure 9 is a display of a conventional touch panel and a second embodiment The brightness distribution of the device is simulated. In the simulation experiment, the display device of the second embodiment has a touch sensor, a symmetric diffusion film, and a collimated light backlight module. The brightness distribution curves of the two show a similar trend - the brightness decreases as the viewing angle (Theta; the angle to the vertical axis) increases. However, according to the simulation result, the brightness distribution curve of the conventional touch panel is not smooth, and the display device of the second embodiment exhibits a smooth brightness distribution curve. Furthermore, in the backlight module of the display device of the second embodiment, the brightness of the light on the vertical axis (about 600 nits) is higher than the brightness of the vertical backlight of the conventional backlight module (about 500 nits), as shown in FIG. .

再者,以下係對不同的顯示面板,包括一傳統觸控面板、一第一實施例之觸控面板和一第二實施例之觸控面板,做亮度比例的進一步研究和比較,其結果分別如第10A~10C圖所示。 Furthermore, the following is a further study and comparison of brightness ratios for different display panels, including a conventional touch panel, a touch panel of a first embodiment, and a touch panel of a second embodiment. As shown in Figures 10A~10C.

第10A圖顯示一傳統觸控面板(沒有對稱擴散膜和準直光背光模組)的等亮度圖(iso-luminance contours)。傳統觸控面板,其0度視角(垂直軸)的亮度值約532nit。第10B圖顯示一第一實施例之觸控面板(有對稱擴散膜和一般背光模組)的等亮度圖。第一實施例之觸控面板,其0度視角(垂直軸)的亮度值約357nit。第10C圖顯示一第二實施例之觸控面板(有對稱擴散膜和準直光背光模組)的等亮度圖。第二實施例之觸控面板,其0度視角(垂直軸)的亮度值約557nit。在傳統觸控面板的等亮度圖(第10A圖)中,一些離散的島狀區域代表在離軸角度觀看面板時,會看到亮度分佈缺陷。而從第一實施例和第二實施例之觸控面板的 等亮度圖(第10B&10C圖)之結果顯示,亮度分佈缺陷的情況有極大的改善,特別是在0°-180°方位角(azimuth angle)上。因此,結果證明,本揭露實施例(如第一和第二實施例)所提供之觸控面板確實解決了離軸角度觀看傳統面板會看到亮度分佈缺陷的問題。再者,第二實施例之觸控面板在0度視角(垂直軸)的亮度值也因使用了準直光背光模組而明顯提高。 Figure 10A shows iso-luminance contours of a conventional touch panel (without a symmetric diffusion film and a collimated light backlight module). In the conventional touch panel, the brightness value of the 0 degree angle of view (vertical axis) is about 532 nit. FIG. 10B shows an equal-luminance diagram of the touch panel (the symmetric diffusion film and the general backlight module) of the first embodiment. In the touch panel of the first embodiment, the brightness value of the 0 degree angle of view (vertical axis) is about 357 nit. FIG. 10C shows an isometric view of a touch panel (a symmetric diffusion film and a collimated light backlight module) of a second embodiment. In the touch panel of the second embodiment, the brightness value of the 0 degree angle of view (vertical axis) is about 557 nit. In the iso-luminance map (Fig. 10A) of a conventional touch panel, some discrete island-like regions represent a luminance distribution defect when viewing the panel at an off-axis angle. And the touch panel of the first embodiment and the second embodiment The results of the iso-luminance map (Fig. 10B & 10C) show that the luminance distribution defect is greatly improved, especially at an azimuth angle of 0°-180°. Therefore, the results prove that the touch panel provided by the disclosed embodiments (such as the first and second embodiments) does solve the problem that the conventional panel can see the brightness distribution defect when viewed from the off-axis angle. Moreover, the brightness value of the touch panel of the second embodiment at a viewing angle of 0 degrees (vertical axis) is also significantly improved by using a collimated light backlight module.

一實施例中,一電容式感測電路(capacitance sensing circuit)可藉由偵測一感測元件電容之變化而得知在電容式感測器的輸入。當使用者手指放在接近一感測元件處,該感測元件的電容以及電極與接地之間的電容可能因此產生改變,而一處理單元(processing unit)或其它電路可偵測到電容變化的數值大小,並將其轉換為一電壓位準或數位碼。 In one embodiment, a capacitive sensing circuit can know the input of the capacitive sensor by detecting a change in the capacitance of a sensing element. When the user's finger is placed close to a sensing element, the capacitance of the sensing element and the capacitance between the electrode and the ground may be changed, and a processing unit or other circuit may detect a change in capacitance.

雖然第11A圖繪示黑色矩陣層(BM)和感測電極層(SE)(即第一電極91和第二電極92)係位於CF玻璃基板803的不同側,但本揭露並不僅限於此。在另一實施例中,感測電極層(SE)和黑色矩陣層(BM)可能位於CF玻璃基板803的同一側。 Although FIG. 11A illustrates that the black matrix layer (BM) and the sensing electrode layer (SE) (ie, the first electrode 91 and the second electrode 92) are located on different sides of the CF glass substrate 803, the disclosure is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the sensing electrode layer (SE) and the black matrix layer (BM) may be located on the same side of the CF glass substrate 803.

再者,雖然第11A圖繪示感測電極層(SE)位於黑色矩陣層(BM)之上,但本揭露並不僅限於此。在另一實施例中,感測電極層(SE)可能位於黑色矩陣層(BM)下方。在不脫本揭露保護範圍的情形下,可對實施例進行修飾與變化,例如元件的組合和/或功能可以適當變化和調整。 Furthermore, although FIG. 11A illustrates that the sensing electrode layer (SE) is located above the black matrix layer (BM), the disclosure is not limited thereto.
