For example, in this embodiment, the first to ninth colors are dark gray, orange, light gray, skin color, dark green, yellow, light green, dark blue, and light blue, but the present invention is not limited to This is limited.
請參照圖1及圖2，在本實施例中，光源120發出的顯示光束L是從第一端110a耦入光纖110內傳遞。自然地，在顯示光束L強度固定的情況下，對同一條光纖110而言，距離第一端110a越遠之漏光點112所發出的顯示光束L的強度越弱，此現象不利於光纖顯示器1000的顯示效果。然而，此現象可透過調控光源120 所發出之顯示光束L的強度補償之。舉例而言，在本實施例中，多個光閥210包括朝著遠離多個光源120的方向(例如：行方向y)依序排列的第1個至第m個光閥(例如：第一個光閥210-1至第三個光閥210-3)；第m個光閥(例如：第三個光閥210-3)開啟時的多個光源120的強度大於第(m-n)個光閥(例如：第一個光閥210-1)開啟時的多個光源120的強度，m(例如：3)為大於或等於2的正整數，n(例如：1)為大於或等於1的正整數，且m大於n。簡言之，距離光源120越遠的光閥210開啟時(即距離光源120越遠的一列的多個漏光點112需發揮顯示作用時)，光源120發出的顯示光束L的強度越強。藉此，即便某一列之漏光點112離光源120較遠，在與該列之漏光點112重疊的一個光閥210開啟時，該列之漏光點112所發出之顯示光束L的強度仍可等於或接近於靠近光源120之一列的漏光點112所發出之顯示光束L的強度，而有助於光纖顯示器1000的顯示效果(例如：畫面亮度均勻性)。 Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the display light beam L emitted from the light source 120 is coupled from the first end 110 a to the optical fiber 110 and transmitted. Naturally, when the intensity of the display beam L is fixed, for the same optical fiber 110, the intensity of the display beam L emitted by the light leakage point 112 that is farther away from the first end 110a is weaker. This phenomenon is not conducive to the optical fiber display 1000. Display effect. However, this phenomenon can be controlled by adjusting the light source 120 The intensity of the emitted display beam L is compensated. For example, in this embodiment, the plurality of light valves 210 include the first to mth light valves (for example, the first Light valves 210-1 to 210-3); the intensity of the multiple light sources 120 when the mth light valve (eg, the third light valve 210-3) is opened is greater than the (mn) th light valve The intensity of the multiple light sources 120 when the valve (for example: the first light valve 210-1) is opened, m (for example: 3) is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and n (for example: 1) is greater than or equal to 1. A positive integer, and m is greater than n. In short, when the light valve 210 that is further away from the light source 120 is opened (that is, when a plurality of light leakage points 112 in a row farther from the light source 120 are required to play a display role), the intensity of the display light beam L emitted by the light source 120 is stronger. Therefore, even if the light leakage point 112 of a certain column is far away from the light source 120, when a light valve 210 overlapping the light leakage point 112 of the column is opened, the intensity of the display light beam L emitted by the light leakage point 112 of the column may still be equal to Or it is close to the intensity of the display light beam L emitted from the light leakage point 112 near one of the columns of the light source 120, which contributes to the display effect of the optical fiber display 1000 (for example, uniformity of screen brightness).
圖8為本發明另一實施例之光纖顯示器的上視示意圖。圖9為根據圖8之剖線Ⅱ-Ⅱ’所繪之光纖顯示器的剖面示意圖。光纖顯示器1000A與光纖顯示器1000類似，因此相同或相似的元件以相同或相似的標號表示。光纖顯示器1000A與光纖顯示器1000的差異在於：光纖顯示器1000A還具有觸控功能。以下主要說明此差異，兩者相同或相似處還請參照前述說明，於此便不再重述。 FIG. 8 is a schematic top view of an optical fiber display according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the optical fiber display according to the section line II-II 'of FIG. 8. FIG. The optical fiber display 1000A is similar to the optical fiber display 1000, and thus the same or similar elements are represented by the same or similar reference numerals. The difference between the optical fiber display 1000A and the optical fiber display 1000 is that the optical fiber display 1000A also has a touch function. The following mainly describes this difference. For the same or similar points, please refer to the foregoing description, and will not be repeated here.
請參照圖8及圖9，相較於與圖1的光纖顯示器1000，光纖顯示器1000A還包括能提供觸控光束L’(例如：紅外光)的多個觸控光源120’。多個觸控光源120’可分別配置於多個光纖110的多個第一端110a旁。多個觸控光源120’發出的多條觸控光束L’由多條光纖110的多個第一端110a向多個光纖110的多個第二端110b傳遞。類似地，觸控光束L’也會從多個光纖110的多個漏光點112漏出。光纖顯示器1000A還包括多個光偵測器300及處理單元400。多個光偵測器300配置於多條光纖110的多個第二端110b旁，以偵測來自多個第二端110b的多條觸控光束L’在多個光閥210各自開啟時的多個強度。處理單元400與多個光偵測器300電性連接，並根據上述多個強度判斷觸碰位置。 Referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, compared with the optical fiber display 1000 of FIG. 1, the optical fiber display 1000A further includes a plurality of touch light sources 120 ′ capable of providing a touch beam L ′ (for example, infrared light). The plurality of touch light sources 120 'may be respectively disposed beside the plurality of first ends 110a of the plurality of optical fibers 110. The plurality of touch light beams L 'emitted from the plurality of touch light sources 120' are transmitted from the plurality of first ends 110a of the plurality of optical fibers 110 to the plurality of second ends 110b of the plurality of optical fibers 110. Similarly, the touch light beam L 'also leaks from the plurality of light leakage points 112 of the plurality of optical fibers 110. The optical fiber display 1000A further includes a plurality of light detectors 300 and a processing unit 400. A plurality of light detectors 300 are disposed beside the plurality of second ends 110 b of the plurality of optical fibers 110 to detect the plurality of touch beams L ′ from the plurality of second ends 110 b when the plurality of light valves 210 are each opened. Multiple intensities. The processing unit 400 is electrically connected to a plurality of light detectors 300 and determines a touch position according to the above-mentioned multiple intensities.
舉例而言，在本實施例中，多個觸控光源120’可恆定地發出觸控光束L’。換言之，所有漏光點112在所有時間均可發出觸控光束L’。在每一光閥210開啟時，多個光偵測器300會偵測一次來自於多個光纖110之多個第二端110b的多個觸控光束L’的強度，以獲得對應該光閥210開啟時間的一個觸控光束強度組，而處理單元400會接收並記錄之。舉例而言，在本實施例中，第一個光閥210-1、第二個光閥210-2及第三個光閥210-3分別在接續的第一時間、第二時間及第三時間開啟，多個光偵測器300會分別在第一時間、第二時間及第三時間偵測到來自於多個第二端110b的多條觸控光束L’的強度，以獲得對應第一時間的第一觸控光束強度組、對應第二時間的第二觸控光束強度組以及對應第三 時間的第三觸控光束強度組。 For example, in this embodiment, the plurality of touch light sources 120 'can constantly emit a touch light beam L'. In other words, all the light leakage points 112 can emit the touch beam L 'at all times. When each light valve 210 is opened, the multiple light detectors 300 will detect the intensity of multiple touch beams L 'from multiple second ends 110b of multiple optical fibers 110 at a time to obtain a corresponding light valve. A touch beam intensity group at 210 on time, which is received and recorded by the processing unit 400. For example, in this embodiment, the first light valve 210-1, the second light valve 210-2, and the third light valve 210-3 are respectively connected at the first time, the second time, and the third time. When the time is turned on, the plurality of light detectors 300 respectively detect the intensities of the plurality of touch beams L ′ from the plurality of second ends 110b at the first time, the second time, and the third time, to obtain the corresponding first The first touch beam intensity group at a time, the second touch beam intensity group at a second time, and the third The third touch beam intensity group of time.
當物體(例如：手指)觸碰光纖顯示器1000A且位於被觸碰區域內的光閥210(例如：第三光閥210-3)開啟(例如：第三時間)時，由於物體(例如：手指)會將從漏光點112漏出的觸控光束L’反射回光纖110，因此對應之光偵測器300(例如：圖8之最右側的一個光偵測器300)所接收到的觸控光束L’強度會較強。藉由比較多個光偵測器300在多個光閥210各自開啟的多個時段內所偵測到的多個觸控光束強度組與基準觸控光束強度組的差異，處理單元400便能判斷觸碰位置(例如：位於第5列及第8行的像素區P)。在本實施例中，基準觸控光束L’強度組例如是，在光纖顯示器1000A未被觸碰的情況下(即所有漏光點112發出的觸控光束L’均未被外界物體反射回光纖110時)，多個光偵測器300所偵測到的一個觸控光束強度組。 When an object (for example: a finger) touches the fiber optic display 1000A and the light valve 210 (for example: the third light valve 210-3) located in the touched area is opened (for example: the third time), due to the object (for example: the finger ) Will reflect the touch beam L 'leaked from the light leakage point 112 back to the optical fiber 110, so the corresponding touch beam received by the corresponding photodetector 300 (for example, a photodetector 300 on the far right of FIG. 8) L 'intensity will be stronger. By comparing the difference between the plurality of touch beam intensity groups detected by the plurality of light detectors 300 during the multiple periods when the plurality of light valves 210 are each opened and the reference touch beam intensity group, the processing unit 400 can Determine the touch position (for example, the pixel area P in the 5th and 8th rows). In this embodiment, the reference touch beam L ′ intensity group is, for example, when the optical fiber display 1000A is not touched (that is, the touch beam L ′ emitted by all light leakage points 112 is not reflected back to the optical fiber 110 by an external object. Time), a touch beam intensity group detected by the plurality of light detectors 300.

The fiber-optic display 1000E of FIG. 14 is similar to the fiber-optic display 1000 of FIG. 1, and therefore the same or similar elements are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals. The difference between the fiber optic display 1000E and the fiber optic display 1000 is that the structure of the light valve 210 of the fiber optic display 1000E is different from the structure of the light valve 210 of the fiber optic display 1000. In detail, based on the consideration of simplifying the manufacturing process, the second electrode 215E of each light valve 210 of the fiber optic display 1000E may be a continuous light-transmitting conductive pattern, and the light-transmitting conductive pattern and a plurality of light leakage points in a row 112 overlap. The second electrode 215E of the light valve 210 of the optical fiber display 1000E can be completed in one process, and the second electrode 215 of the light valve 210 of the optical fiber display 1000 does not need to complete multiple sub-electrodes 215a and multiple wires 215b in two processes. The light valve 210 of the fiber-optic display 1000E can be used to replace any of the light valves 210 of the foregoing fiber-optic displays 1000, 1000A, 1000B, 1000C, and 1000D. The various types of fiber-optic displays thus formed are also within the scope of the present invention.
