Description

共形发光显示组件
技术领域
本公开总体涉及共形发光显示组件。
背景技术
许多设备包括具有液晶层的各种形式的显示单元。显示单元通常是矩形的并且具有平坦的表面以容纳电子电路和其它部件。
发明内容
一种显示组件包括用于显示图像的显示单元。显示单元包括配置为提供光的背光单元。颜色转换层定位为与背光单元相邻并且配置为接收来自背光单元的光。结构层定位为与颜色转换层相邻并且配置为支撑显示单元。第一层叠体定位为与结构层相邻，并且包括第一薄膜晶体管(TFT)层、滤色层和第一液晶层。显示单元配置为可弯曲成固定形状，使得显示单元保持固定形状。
第一TFT层由沉积在第一基板上的多个薄膜晶体管构成。薄膜晶体管可以由诸如多晶硅、非晶硅、铟镓氧化锌和其它金属氧化物的高电子迁移率材料形成。第一基板可以是厚度为约0.1mm的玻璃层。第一基板可以由附接到相对薄的污染物阻挡层上的聚合物层构成，阻挡层由无机氧化物材料构成。滤色层可以包括形成在第二基板上的多个滤色器图案。第二基板可以由厚度约为0.1mm的玻璃构成。
显示单元还可以包括在第一层叠体和结构层之间的空间光调制器。空间光调制器配置为选择性地调制来自背光单元的光的亮度。空间光调制器包括夹设在第二偏振器和第三偏振器之间的第二层叠体。第二层叠体包括第二TFT层和液晶层。第二TFT层由沉积在第二基板上的另外多个薄膜晶体管构成。结构层可以包括减震材料。
颜色转换层可以包括沿第一方向布置并配置为发射在第一方向上偏振的可见光的多个量子棒。显示单元可以是非矩形的。显示单元可以包括具有设置在显示单元的前端上的防反射涂层的覆盖透镜和与覆盖透镜相邻的第一偏振器。第一层叠体可以与第一偏振器相邻，并且包括第一TFT层、滤色层和第一液晶层。第二偏振器可以与第一层叠体相邻。在另一个实施例中，结构层可以紧邻第二偏振器定位，并且配置为支撑显示单元。
各种层的这种最佳组合允许显示单元以相对低的成本提供高性能、共形和周边形状的显示器。此外，由这种最佳组合产生的图像不会受到诸如有机LED的残存效应的影响。
附图说明
图1是根据第一实施例的具有显示单元的显示组件的示意性局部截面图；
图2是根据第二实施例的具有显示单元的显示组件的示意性局部截面图；
图3是图1至图2的显示单元的示例性侧面轮廓；以及
图4是图1至图2的显示单元的示例性正视图。
具体实施方式
参考附图，其中相同的附图标记表示相同的部件，图1至图2分别示意性地示出了根据本公开的第一实施例和第二实施例的显示组件10、110。参考图1至图2，组件10、110可以是相应设备12、112的一部分。设备12、112可以是移动平台，诸如但不限于标准客车、运动型多功能车、轻型卡车、重型车辆、全地形车、小型货车、公共汽车、转运车、自行车、机器人、农具、运动相关设备、轮船、飞机、火车或其它设备。设备12、112可以是非移动平台，包括但不限于台式计算机，并且可以采取许多不同的形式并且包括多个和/或替代部件。
参考图1，组件10包括用于在前端16显示图像的显示单元14。显示单元14具有设置在前端16处的覆盖透镜18。覆盖透镜18包括防反射涂层20。在图1中还示出显示单元14的背端22。第一偏振器24定位为与覆盖透镜18相邻。组件10可以包括通过在覆盖透镜18的背面上沉积导电材料形成的触摸传感器层19；也可以添加导电材料的分立层。如下所述，显示单元14包括多个层。应当理解，层的顺序可以不同于下面列出的顺序。
参考图1，第一层叠体26可以定位为与第一偏振器24相邻，并且包括第一薄膜晶体管(TFT)层28、滤色层30和第一液晶层32。第一TFT层28可以是由沉积在第一基板36上的多个薄膜晶体管构成。薄膜晶体管可以由诸如多晶硅、非晶硅、铟镓氧化锌和其它金属氧化物的高电子迁移率材料形成。滤色层30包括形成在第二基板40上的多个滤色器图案38。在一个示例中，滤色器图案38是红色、绿色和蓝色(RGB)。在另一示例中，滤色器图案38是红色、绿色、蓝色和白色(RGBW)。
参考图1，空间光调制器(SL)可以紧邻第一层叠体26定位。空间光调制器(SL)包括第二层叠体44、第二偏振器42和第三偏振器56，其中第二层叠体44夹设在第二偏振器42和第三偏振器56之间。空间光调制器(SL)配置为(在逐个像素的基础上)选择性地调制进入其中的光的亮度。如本领域技术人员所理解的，亮度是在给定区域和方向上投射的发光强度。亮度是客观可测量的属性，单位为每平方米坎德拉。空间光调制器到显示单元的层叠体使得能够进行局部背光调光，即实现低黑态亮度。空间光调制器(SL)可以具有非常高的分辨率，并且是白光调制器。空间光调制器(SL)不包括滤色器。
参考图1，第二层叠体44包括第二TFT层46和液晶层48。第二TFT层46可以由沉积在第三基板52上的另外多个薄膜晶体管构成。薄膜晶体管可以由诸如多晶硅、非晶硅、铟镓氧化锌和其它金属氧化物的高电子迁移率材料。第二层叠体44可以包括白色滤光层54和第四基板55。本领域技术人员可获得的其它类型的偏振器可以用于第一偏振器24、第二偏振器42和第三偏振器56。
参考图1，在一个实施例中，与高于900℃的常规方法相比，第一TFT层28和第二TFT层46可以由在相对低的温度(诸如约600℃及以下)合成的低温多晶硅构成。这允许沉积在第一TFT层28和第二TFT层46上的电子电路具有更高的电子迁移率，从而能够实现更小的特征尺寸，因此实现更高的光透射。在显示单元14上也允许相对较薄的边界。
参考图1，结构层60可以定位为与第三偏振器56相邻并且并配置为支撑显示单元14。结构层60可以包括减震材料62。在一个示例中，减震材料62是具有粘弹性的聚氨酯材料。在另一个示例中，减震材料62由具有较高粘弹性的橡胶构成。可以采用吸收冲击能量的其它类型的材料。颜色转换层64可以定位为与结构层60相邻。可以使用包含量子棒、量子点、无机磷光体或其它颜色转换材料的膜。
参考图1，背光单元66定位为与颜色转换层64相邻。背光单元66可以包括位于边缘处的至少一个发光二极管(LED)源68、漫射器70和光导72。发光二极管(LED)源68配置为发射光，所述光从漫射器反射出并穿过光导72。所述光随后穿过显示单元14的各个层朝向前端16行进。
发光二极管(LED)源68可以配置为产生所有极化状态的454nm辐射。选择的确切的LED发射波长是基于与颜色转换层64的耦合效率。此光可以指向颜色转换层64。在一个示例中，颜色转换层64包括在第一个方向上对准的多个量子棒。因为这些量子棒是对准的，所以它们将吸收与偏振轴平行的极化状态，并且不会吸收垂直极化。激发的量子棒将发射具有平行于棒的轴线的偏振状态的辐射。因此，红色和绿色光在对准方向上极化，并且蓝色光在很大程度上是非偏振的。
第一基板36、第二基板40、第三基板52和第四基板55可各自由厚度为约0.1mm的玻璃层构成。对于第一基板36、第二基板40、第三基板52和第四基板55，可以使用从CorningInc.可获得的并且具有约0.1mm厚度的Willow Glass。可替代地，第一基板36、第二基板40、第三基板52和第四基板55可以由已经涂覆有SiO2或其它合适的无机氧化物材料的薄阻挡层的聚合物层构成。聚合物层可以包括但不限于聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、聚乙酸乙烯酯(PVA)和聚酰亚胺(PI)。
显示单元14可以包括多个光学透明粘合剂层。参考图1，第一光学透明粘合剂层58A定位在结构层60和第三偏振器56之间。第二光学透明粘合剂层58B定位在第三偏振器56和第二层叠体44之间。第三光学透明粘合剂层58C定位在第二层叠体44和第二偏振器42之间。第四光学透明粘合剂层58D定位在第二偏振器42和第一层叠体26之间。第五光学透明粘合剂层58E定位在第一层叠体26和第一偏振器24之间。第六光学透明粘合剂层58F定位在第一偏振器24和覆盖透镜18之间。
现在参考图2，除了以下差异之外，第二实施例类似于第一实施例。在图2中，显示单元114不包括图1的第二层叠体44。显示单元114中的背光单元166包括具有以栅格方式布置的多个发光二极管(LED)源的矩阵168和空气间隙172。在显示单元114中，结构层160定位为与第二偏振器142相邻。
显示单元114可以包括多个光学透明粘合剂层。参考图2，第一光学透明粘合剂层158A定位在结构层160和第二偏振器142之间。第二光学透明粘合剂层158B定位在第二偏振器142和第一层叠体26之间。第三光学透明粘合剂层158C定位在第一层叠体26和第一偏振器24之间。第四光学透明粘合剂层158D定位在第一偏振器24和覆盖透镜18之间。
各种层的组合允许显示单元14、114以相对低的成本提供高性能、共形和周边形状的显示器。此外，所产生的图像不会受到诸如有机LED的残存效应的影响。参考图3，示出了显示单元14、114的示例性侧面轮廓。参考图1至图3，显示单元14、114的相应宽度80、180可以配置为在约0.5mm和5mm之间。显示单元14、114是共形的，即，显示单元配置为可弯曲成固定形状，使得显示单元保持固定形状。参考图4，示出了显示单元14、114的示例性正视图。显示单元14、114可以是周边形状的，即可以被修剪成适合于手中应用的期望形状。显示单元14、114可以是非矩形的，诸如梯形。
参考图1至图2，组件10和110可以各自包括控制器100，其用于控制与第一TFT层28、第二TFT层46和空间光调制器(SL)相关联的相应多个像素。控制器100可以包括用于控制背光单元的其它功率和驱动电路。参考图1至图2，控制器100可以包括相应的计算机可读介质(也称为处理器可读介质)，包括非暂时性(例如有形)介质，其参与提供可能为由计算机(例如，由计算机的处理器)读取的数据。这种介质可以采取许多形式，包括但不限于非易失性介质和易失性介质。非易失性介质可以包括例如光盘或磁盘以及其它持久存储器。易失性介质可以包括例如可以构成主存储器的动态随机存取存储器(DRAM)。这样的指令可以由一个或多个传输介质(包括同轴电缆、铜线和光纤，包括连接到计算机处理器的系统总线的导线)传输。一些形式的计算机可读介质包括例如软盘、柔性盘、硬盘、磁带、其它磁介质、CD-ROM、DVD、其它光学介质、打孔卡、纸带、具有孔的图案其它物理介质、RAM、PROM、EPROM、FLASH-EEPROM、其它存储器芯片或存储器盒，或计算机可从其读取的其它介质。
本文所述的查找表、数据库、数据存储库或其它数据存储可以包括用于存储、访问和检索各种数据的各种机制，包括分层数据库、文件系统中的一组文件、专有格式的应用数据库、关系数据库管理系统(RDBMS)等。每个这样的数据存储可以被包括在使用诸如上述之一的计算机操作系统的计算设备内，并且可以经由网络以一种或多种方式访问。可以从计算机操作系统访问文件系统，并且文件系统可以包括以各种格式存储的文件。除了用于创建、存储、编辑和执行存储的过程的语言之外，RDBMS还可以采用结构化查询语言(SQL)，诸如上述PL/SQL语言。
详细说明和附图或图形是对本公开的支撑和描述，但是本公开的范围仅由权利要求来限定。虽然已经详细描述了用于实施所请求保护的公开的一些最佳模式和其它实施例，但是存在用于实践所附权利要求中限定的公开内容的各种替代设计和实施例。此外，附图中所示的实施例或本说明书中提到的各种实施例的特征不一定被理解为彼此独立的实施例。相反，可以将实施例的一个示例中描述的每个特征与来自其它实施例的一个或多个其它期望特征组合，从而产生未以文字或未参考附图描述的其它实施例。因此，这样的其它实施例落在所附权利要求的范围的框架内。
