In Fig. 2, the second mode opened the second area 13 and close the first area 11 is presented.Light source module 30 is in second mode When non-white light is provided.The liquid crystal of the switching medium layer 19 in the first area 11 is non deflected, non-white light pass through the firstth area 11 when be blocked and It can not pass through.Non-white light light enters second 23 behind the second area 13, the light conversion particles 25 in excitation second 23.When Light conversion particles 25 are excited, and non-white light can be converted to white light, and scatter to form complete cycle light.Here, last be presented Optical path be white light, and in the form of complete cycle light towards all directions issue, second mode present wide viewing angle sharing model.Due to white Light is different with the wavelength of non-white light, and exciting light conversion particles 25 need higher energy, non-white light be with 300 nanometers of wavelength extremely 500 nanometers of blue wave band is realized, merely illustrative herein, but not limited to this, the short wavelength light sources such as purple light, ultraviolet light are also reachable To this effect.
In the present embodiment, the open and close in the first area 11, the second area 13 must cooperate toggle lights module 30 generate white light, Non-white light switches narrow viewing angle, the function of wide viewing angle to realize.Light source module 30 includes first light source 31A and second light source 31B, the One light source 31A corresponds to the first area 11 and second light source 31B corresponds to the second area 13, and first light source 31A generates white light, and Second light source 31B generates non-white light.
Further, first light source 31A and second light source 31B can be light emitting diode (light-emitting Diode, LED) or Organic Light Emitting Diode (organic light-emitting diode, OLED) light source, first light source 31A Comprising red-light LED or OLED, green light LED or OLED, blue-ray LED or OLED, it is all turned on to generate white light, and second light source 31B only includes blue-ray LED or OLED, the non-white light for the blue wave band that 300 nanometers to 500 nanometers of generation wavelength.In first mode Shi Kaiqi first light source 31A, second light source 31B is closed, and opens 31B in second mode, closes first light source 31A to reach This effect.It is merely illustrative herein, but not limited to this, in change case, the first light source 31A and second light source of light source module 30 31B is all made of the configuration mode comprising red-light LED or OLED, green light LED or OLED, blue-ray LED or OLED, in first mode First light source 31A and second light source 31B are all turned on, to generate white light, only opened in second mode blue-ray LED or OLED, and the power of blue-ray LED or OLED are further enhanced to realize.
In addition, second 23 width W2BIt is exemplified as the width W more than or equal to the second area 132A, which has limited enter the The source of two 23 non-white light light, since so-called non-white light herein has biggish energy, structure design whereby can be with It avoids in second mode, non-white light light leakage and the eyes for injuring user, the skill for reaching protection user's eyes is designed with this Art effect, while also avoiding causing color difference or other optical variations because of non-white light light leakage.
Further, refering to Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, the vertical view of the different embodiments of light conversion element respectively of the invention Schematic diagram.As shown in Figure 3A, by overlooking sight, first 21 of light conversion element 20 and second 23 is staggeredly divided for vertical bar shape Cloth.And it is as shown in Figure 3B, second 23 of light conversion element 20 is in staggered lines or netted, so that first 21 is in multiple points From trellis arrangement.It is merely illustrative herein, but not limited to this, for example, first 21 and second 23 can also do other distributions Mode, for example, first 21 and second 23 for slanted bar shape staggeredly etc..
Further, light source module 30 is set to 10 lower section of switching element.Such as switching element 10, light conversion member Part 20 is combined into backlight module with 30 groups of light source module.It is, Optical devices 1 can be independently arranged with light source module 30, it can also It is generated when Optical devices 1 and 30 common combination of light source module are backlight module by control light source module 30 with combination settings Different light and control switching element 10 and accordingly open or close, control backlight module goes out light optical path in the first mould It is in specific direction when formula, and is in complete cycle light in second mode, the optical path for controlling backlight module determines the field-of-view mode that shines.
Refering to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the second embodiments of Optical devices respectively of the invention first mode schematic diagram and The schematic diagram of second mode.As shown in Figures 4 and 5, second embodiment different from the first embodiment essentially consists in Optical devices 1 It also include prismatic lens 40.Prismatic lens 40 include prism area 41, and have multiple prism microstructures 411 in prism area, and prism area 41 Corresponding to the first area 11.As shown in figure 4, the prism microstructure 411 in prism area 41 can be by the light of the generation of light source module 30 Deviation is towards specific direction, it is of particular importance that being presented white light deflection of light narrow towards the first area 11 in first mode Field-of-view mode.
The citing of light source module 30 that Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 is used is side-light type light source, here, light source module 30 includes light source first Light source 31A, second light source 31B and light guide plate 33, in this embodiment, first light source 31A are located at the side of light guide plate 33, to White light is generated, and second light source 31B is located at the other side of the light guide plate 33 relative to first light source 31B, to generate non-white light.? This is merely illustrative, rather than to limit, in change case, first light source 31A and second light source 31B are all made of comprising feux rouges The configuration mode of LED or OLED, green light LED or OLED, blue-ray LED or OLED, in first mode by first light source 31A and Two light source 31B are all turned on, and to generate white light, red-light LED and green light LED are closed in second mode, and increase blue-ray LED Luminous intensity reaches same technical effect.
In general, the light that side-light type light source module 30 generates, is entering the first area 11 or the second by light guide plate 33 Specific direction is had no before area 13, at this point, light is oriented to specific direction by prism microstructure 411.As shown in figure 4, When one mode, the white light light that first light source 31A is generated is oriented to the first area 11 via light guide plate 33 and prism structure 411, then passes through By being issued after first 21.As shown in figure 5, in second mode, the non-white light light that second light source 31B is generated, through the light guide plate Behind 33 the second areas 13 of guiding, entered in second 23 by the switching medium layer 19 of deflection, and excite the light in second 23 Conversion particles 25.When partial non-white light light enters prism structure 411, it is still directed towards the first area 11, but by switching medium Undeflected liquid crystal stops and can not pass through in layer 19.In some embodiments, prismatic lens 40 may include one or more layers, can It is configured with the design according to light source, makes to adjust light towards specific direction, to meet the demand of first mode narrow viewing angle.
As shown in figure 5, in second mode, the second light source 31B of light source module 30 is opened with 300 nanometers of generation wavelength extremely The non-white light of 500 nanometers of blue wave band, and close first light source 31A.Non-white light enters second 23 by the second area 13, swashs Luminescent conversion particle 25 and generate white light complete cycle light.In addition, non-white light will receive prism area when non-white light does not enter the second area 13 41 are directed to the first area 11, by switching medium layer 19 blocking and reflect or scatter, without entering in first 21.Cause This, also can avoid the variation that non-white light enters generation color difference or other optical properties in first 21.
