Background technology
Along with the development of display technique, the 2D/3D switchable stereo display device becomes a new research direction in stereo display field.With respect to the 3 d display device that only has single three-dimensional display function, the 2D/3D switchable stereo display device can make the user freely select to adopt two dimensional mode or 3-D display pattern to watch, therefore, this kind display device has bigger practical value.
Figure 1 shows that the brief configuration synoptic diagram of existing 2D/3D switchable stereo display device, this device mainly comprises display panel 11 and 2D/3D switching device shifter 12.Wherein, the emergent light of the display panel in the comparatively common 2D/3D switchable stereo display device is a linearly polarized light, display panel 11 can be that emergent light is LCD (the Liquid crystal display of linearly polarized light as described, LCD), or emergent light is the display of non-property linearly polarized light and the optical combination device such as combination that place this display display plane polarizer before, for example described display panel 11 is cathode-ray tube (CrystalRay Tube, CRT) display and combination that places the display plane polarizer before of CRT monitor.The optical devices of described 2D/3D switching device shifter 12 for having 2D mode of operation and 3D mode of operation, after the emergent light of display panel 11 is incident to 2D/3D switching device shifter 12, if this 2D/3D switching device shifter 12 is in the 2D mode of operation, then direct transmitted light, make the beholder see two dimensional image, and when 2D/3D switching device shifter 12 is in the 3D mode of operation, 2D/3D switching device shifter 12 changes the optical characteristics of incident light, and provide left-eye image and the eye image with parallax respectively to beholder's left eye and right eye, so the beholder can see stereo-picture.
Existing a kind of 2D/3D switching device shifter mainly comprises polarized light conversion device and lens subassembly two large divisions, for example disclosed device among the CN101114055.Polarized light conversion device mainly is provided with the substrate of alignment film by two surfaces and the twisted liquid crystal that is full of therebetween constitutes, and the twisted liquid crystal box of main flow has thin film transistor (TFT) (Thin Film Transistor, TFT) matrix structure at present.Because the 2D/3D switchable stereo display device has been technique known in detail, therefore the principle of work of this kind device is described in detail no longer herein.Obviously, when the 2D/3D switchable stereo display device was worked, the TFT matrix structure in the polarized light conversion device can be interfered mutually with the two-dimentional pixel plane architecture of display panel and be produced Moire fringe; Perhaps, the two-dimensional grid structure of some lens arras in the lens subassembly also can be interfered the generation Moire fringe mutually with the two-dimentional pixel plane architecture of display panel.Moire fringe can influence the display quality of the picture necktie of grid (as have) of the fine and smooth rule that three-dimensional display shows, make for example to occur black and white or rainbow striped or the like disturbing factor on the picture, thereby fuzzy original picture makes the beholder do not feel like oneself.
For solving the influence of Moire fringe to 3 d display device, a kind of method that diffusion sheet is set between display panel and 2D/3D switching device shifter is provided in the prior art, because the diffusion sheet that is provided with can spread the emergent ray of the two-dimentional pixel plane of display panel, thereby can alleviate the Moire fringe that to interfere generation mutually between the structure of the two-dimentional pixel plane architecture of display panel and polarized light conversion device in the 2D/3D switching device shifter or lens subassembly.When the 2D/3D switchable stereo display device is in the 3-D display pattern, because the 2D/3D switching device shifter is in the some distance of the sub-pixel of the new pixel that is become on the imaging surface on the two-dimentional pixel plane that is greater than former display panel, therefore under the 3-D display pattern, the space image effect that the method that above-mentioned interpolation diffusion sheet is eliminated Moire fringe can obviously not influence this stereoscopic device and become.But, when the 2D/3D switchable stereo display device is in two dimensional mode, the light that each sub-pixel on the two-dimentional pixel plane of display panel sends is spread by the diffusion sheet on its exit direction, therefore, the light that the parton pixel is sent can not fully, clearly be transmitted through people's eyes by the 2D/3D switching device shifter, it is fuzzy to cause this 2D/3D switchable stereo display device to show.In addition, if the pixel on the two-dimentional pixel plane of display panel is apart from more little, the light that each pixel is sent can enter eyes after the diffusion sheet scattering light is just few more, therefore along with the raising of the resolution of display panel, be used to alleviate Moire fringe and the diffusion sheet that is provided with is just serious more to the influence of the two-dimentional display effect of this kind 3 d display device.
As seen, above-mentioned interpolation scattered power fixing diffusion sheet is to be cost with the two-dimentional display resolution of sacrificing this device with the scheme that alleviates the Moire fringe that may generate in the 2D/3D switchable stereo display device.Therefore, the dynamic diffusion sheet that needs a kind of scattering degree to regulate as required eliminating the Moire fringe in the 2D/3D switchable stereo display device, and does not influence the display effect of this device.

P), so incident light is in the surface scattering of these liquid crystal droplets, this moment, the PDLC box had a minimum transmitance (minimum transmitance is zero or some values of non-zero, is 20% as transmitance).
Fig. 3 B is the PDLC box structural representation that has applied extra electric field.Shown in Fig. 3 B, apply voltage on the transparency electrode to the substrate 34 of this PDLC box and substrate 36, then the liquid crystal molecule in the liquid crystal droplet is subjected to electric field torque rotation optical axis.If the impressed voltage value is V, then: as 0<V<V

G1And when the making alive V of institute reached the threshold voltage of the liquid crystal among this PDLC, the extraordinary axes of liquid crystal molecule and pointing vector all will be along directions of an electric field in each liquid crystal droplet, and this moment, visible light passed through the effective refractive index n of liquid crystal droplet
G3=n
o, promptly the effective refractive index of the liquid crystal droplet in the PDLC box is identical with the refractive index of polymkeric substance, and incident light can not have scattering ground directly by this PDLC box, and this moment, this PDLC box had a maximum transmission, was clear state.
Therefore, the PDLC material can change with the variation that is applied to the electric field on the PDLC material visible scattering of light degree, the scattered power that is the PDLC box is the function of the impressed voltage value on two lateral electrodes of current PDLC box, therefore, the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of 2D/3D switchable stereo display device, as shown in Figure 4, this 2D/3D switchable stereo display device comprises: display panel 11, PDLC box 41, voltage control unit 42 and 2D/3D switching device shifter 12.
