Specific embodiment
The specific embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.Following embodiment For illustrating the present invention, but it is not limited to the scope of the present invention.It should be noted that in the case where there is no conflict, the application In embodiment and embodiment in feature can mutually be combined.
Fig. 1 is the principle schematic of waveguide optical grating coupling technique.In optic communication and integrated optics, fiber waveguide is a kind of More commonly used basic component.In order to which light beam is efficiently coupled into fiber waveguide or light beam is coupled out from fiber waveguide, A kind of more commonly used method is exactly to use grating coupler.When incident beam or outgoing beam meet formula:βqm–qK(q =0, ± 1, ± 2 ...) during non-colinear position relation, incident light can excite m ranks guided mode or m rank guided modes in the waveguide It is coupled out in given directions.Wherein, βmFor the propagation constant of m rank guided modes, βm=k0Nm, NmFor effective refraction of m rank guided modes Rate, K are grating vector, K=2 π/Λ, k0For the wave number of light in a vacuum, k0=2 π λ, Λ are screen periods.If incident light (or emergent light) wave vector direction and vertical direction angle are θi, then above-mentioned non-colinear position relation can be further represented as:
k0ncsinθi=k0Nm- q2 π/Λ (q=0, ± 1, ± 2 ...)
If optical waveguide substrates are transparent medium, input and output coupling is carried out from substrate one side, non-colinear position relation can table at this time It is shown as:
k0nssinθi=k0Nm- q2 π/Λ (q=0, ± 1, ± 2 ...)
Wherein, ncFor the refractive index of air, nsFor the refractive index of substrate, nfFor the refractive index of waveguide.
For the display panel based on waveguide optical grating coupling technique, multiple grating coupling structures are arranged on ducting layer, from In the light propagated in ducting layer, the given outgoing of color light in given directions, one or more grating coupling knots are selected Structure corresponds to a sub-pixel in display panel, and exit positions, diffraction grating formula can be determined according to diffraction grating formula For:
nisinθi-ndsinθd=m* λ/Λ (m=0, ± 1, ± 2 ...)
Wherein, niAnd θiRespectively incident spatial refractive index and incident angle, m are diffraction time, and Λ is screen periods, and λ is Lambda1-wavelength, θdFor the angle between light direction and panel plane normal, ndFor on grating coupling structure each layer it is equivalent Refractive index.In the design of existing AR/VR application scenarios, light direction is to carry out careful design by the optical simulation software of specialty, It is fixed to set the light direction of the sub-pixel of a certain position in display panel, by sub-pixel position and eyes design position two The relativeness of person determines that it is fixed to think eye position, thus sets the light direction θ in diffraction grating formuladIt is It is fixed.Therefore, by designing grating period A, you can realize the light of given color (wavelength X) in given light direction θd Upper outgoing.After the screen periods that each position of display panel is designed according to light direction, prior art generally use coherent light The method of interference uses laser to irradiate the sub-pixel of display panel different position respectively to form different screen periods.Example Such as:Use the red laser that red laser is sent red to be formed by exposing the corresponding regions of grating irradiation red sub-pixel R Screen periods in sub-pixels R irradiate green sub-pixels G using the green laser that green laser is sent by exposing grating Corresponding region is passed through with the blue laser for forming the screen periods in green sub-pixels G and being sent using blue laser Exposure grating irradiates the corresponding regions of blue subpixels B to form the screen periods in blue subpixels B.Due to different colours The wavelength for the exposure light that laser is sent is different, therefore the number of the liquid crystal grating formed in the sub-pixel of different colours is not Together, so that the screen periods formed in the sub-pixel of different colours are different.
It can be seen that existing display panel light direction fixation is because pre-setting the fixed grating of each sub-pixel Cycle so that each sub-pixel can only select given color light to be emitted on given light direction.Due to needing using specialty Optical simulation software carry out light direction design, and need using laser illumination mode prepare each sub-pixel grating week Phase, therefore design and processes flow is complicated, the production time is long, and production cost is higher.Since light direction is fixed, thus requirement makes User's eyes must be watched in design position, and if user's eyes off-design position, sub-pixel light direction will be inclined From human eye, the image quality that human eye is seen can be poor.In actual use, the user due to the use of VR devices is varied, Not only different users wear position difference, but also the eye position of different users is there is also difference, hence some User is difficult in adapt to the design position.Some users wear position and eye position using the constantly adjustment of preceding needs, ability Human eye is made to be directed at the light direction, sees the picture of display panel clearly, and also needs to strictly keep the position adjusted in use It puts.Obviously, this adjustment mode has very big uncertainty, and is difficult that human eye is made to be directed at light direction completely, has both influenced to use The quality of picture is watched at family, also influences the experience used the product by the user.
In order to overcome, existing display panel design and processes flow is complicated, production cost is high, influences viewing quality and user The defects of experience, an embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of display panels.Display panel includes the first substrate set to box and the Two substrates and the electrode layer and liquid crystal grating being arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate, electrode layer are used to adjust liquid crystal The screen periods of grating.Wherein, electrode layer includes multiple electrodes being alternatively arranged and receive independent voltage signal respectively, by 2N+1 A electrode determines the liquid crystal grating that a screen periods are 2N*L, wherein, N is the positive integer more than or equal to 1, and L is wide for electrode The sum of degree and electrode spacing.As a kind of realization method, Fig. 2 is the structure diagram of display panel of the embodiment of the present invention.Such as Fig. 2 Shown, the agent structure of display panel includes to the first substrate 10 of box setting and the second substrate 20 and is arranged on the first base Ducting layer 30, electrode layer 40 and liquid crystal grating 50 between 10 and second substrate 20 of bottom, electrode layer 40 are used to adjust liquid crystal grating 50 screen periods, liquid crystal grating 50 are coupled out light for controlling from ducting layer 30, and control and wavelength is set in the light Light is with direction initialization and setting gray scale light extraction.Wherein, ducting layer 30 is arranged on the first substrate 10 towards the table of the second substrate 20 On face, electrode layer 40 is arranged on ducting layer 30 towards on the surface of the second substrate 20, liquid crystal grating 50 be arranged on electrode layer 40 with Between second substrate 20.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for carrying out fiber waveguide, refractive index connects ducting layer 30 at least above with ducting layer 30 Touch the refractive index of film layer.In order to which ducting layer is allow to carry out fiber waveguide as efficiently as possible, it is preferable that the refractive index of ducting layer is removed It is more than and is in contact with ducting layer outside the refractive index of film layer, also greater than the refractive index of other each layer structures, i.e., in display panel In, the refractive index of ducting layer is maximum.The material of ducting layer be transparent material, such as Si3N4Deng, but not limited to this.It is being embodied When, the refractive index of ducting layer is the higher the better, and the thickness range of ducting layer includes but not limited to 100nm~10 μm.Preferably, waveguide The thickness of layer is 100~200nm, in order to control of the grating layer to light light direction and wavelength.Ducting layer can be single mode Waveguide, i.e. thickness are thin enough, such as 100nm, in order to control of the grating to light direction and color, but not limited to this.Work as side It is relatively good or can be to when being coupled into that pattern control effectively in ducting layer to enter the collimation of formula collimated back, Ke Yishi When relaxing the requirement to waveguide layer thickness, hundreds of nanometers even several microns of thickness can be selected.In addition, the first substrate and electrode Layer also acts as the effect of assistant waveguide.Since the thickness of the first substrate and electrode layer is more than the thickness of ducting layer, side entering type is accurate The overwhelming majority of the light emitted line of straight backlight will be coupled into the first substrate and electrode layer.In view of side entering type collimated back institute The light of transmitting can not possibly be collimated definitely, always have the smaller angle of divergence, the light being coupled into the first substrate and electrode layer There can be smaller dispersion angle.Since the first substrate and the refractive index of electrode layer are less than the refractive index of ducting layer, the first substrate It cannot be fettered with the light in electrode layer, but be continuously injected into ducting layer well, supplement ducting layer In waveguide mode because propagate or grating couple caused by attenuation.
In the embodiment of the present invention, electrode layer 40 includes multiple electrodes equidistantly arranged successively, and each electrode receives respectively Independent voltage signal, it is corresponding that the electric field that several electrodes are formed so that neighbouring liquid crystal molecule is generated according to electric field distribution Deflection forms the liquid crystal grating with different screen periods.Liquid crystal grating control is coupled out light from ducting layer, and controls and be somebody's turn to do The light of wavelength is set in light with direction initialization and setting gray scale light extraction.That is, the embodiment of the present invention is by number of electrodes It measures to determine the screen periods of liquid crystal grating, the screen periods of liquid crystal grating can be adjusted by adjusting number of electrodes.
Fig. 3 a~Fig. 3 d are the schematic diagram that the embodiment of the present invention adjusts liquid crystal grating screen periods.Such as Fig. 3 a~Fig. 3 b institutes Show, be provided with liquid crystal layer 4 between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 that are oppositely arranged, electrode layer is provided in the first substrate 1.Electricity Pole layer includes regularly arranged multiple electrodes, is divided into first electrode group and second electrode group, and each electrode group includes 2 electrodes, First electrode group includes electrode 3a and electrode 3b, and second electrode group includes electrode 3c and electrode 3d.As shown in Figure 3a, control applies Voltage in electrode group on 2 electrodes makes the voltage on 2 electrodes equal.Due to there is no voltage between 2 electrodes Difference, the liquid crystal molecule in liquid crystal layer 4 do not deflect.At this point, liquid crystal molecule is a fixed refractive index in liquid crystal layer 4.Such as figure Shown in 3b, in first electrode group, voltage V1 is applied to electrode 3a, voltage V0 is applied to electrode 3b;It is right in second electrode group Electrode 3c applies voltage V0, applies voltage V1 to electrode 3d.Wherein, V1-V0=Δs V1.Due to 2 electrodes in first electrode group Between have voltage difference delta V1, therefore above two electrodes of first electrode group corresponding region liquid crystal molecule in electric field It deflects under effect, turns pattern area so as to form right avertence.Due to having voltage difference-Δ between 2 electrodes in second electrode group V1, therefore the liquid crystal molecule in corresponding region deflects under the action of electric field above two electrodes of second electrode group, Turn pattern area so as to form left avertence.Since electrode 3b is identical with the voltage of electrode 3c, between 2 electrode groups corresponding to top The liquid crystal molecule in region does not deflect, so as to form non-deflection pattern area.Due to the voltage difference between electrode in 2 electrode groups On the contrary, therefore the liquid crystal molecule deflection direction of 2 electrode groups is opposite.At this point, liquid crystal molecule turns there are right avertence, is left in liquid crystal layer 4 It deflects and non deflected, there is certain refringence between liquid crystal molecule.It should be noted that the deflection in attached drawing is only one Kind deflection schematically illustrates, and liquid crystal molecule deflection can be in the plane parallel to substrate.

As shown in Figure 3d, liquid crystal layer 4, the first substrate 1 are provided between the first substrate 1 and the second substrate 2 that are oppositely arranged On be provided with electrode layer, electrode layer includes regularly arranged multiple electrodes, and 5 electrodes are an electrode group, i.e., each electrode group Including electrode 3a, electrode 3b, electrode 3c, electrode 3d and electrode 3e.Voltage V2 is applied to electrode 3a, voltage is applied to electrode 3b V1 applies electrode 3c voltage V0, and electrode 3d applies voltage V1, applies voltage V2, V2 > V1 > V0, V2-V1=to electrode 3e Δ V2, V1-V0=Δ V1.Same aforementioned principles, the liquid crystal molecule in corresponding region is in the work of electric field between electrode 3a and electrode 3b Turned with lower generation right avertence, right avertence occurs under the action of electric field for the liquid crystal molecule in corresponding region between electrode 3b and electrode 3c Turn, but deflection angle is less than the former.The liquid crystal molecule in corresponding region is sent out under the action of electric field between electrode 3d and electrode 3e Raw left avertence turns, and left avertence turn occurs under the action of electric field for the liquid crystal molecule in corresponding region between electrode 3c and electrode 3d, but partially Gyration is less than the former.The liquid crystal molecule deflection in region corresponding to electrode 3c is minimum (or not deflecting).As a result, in electrode 3a, electricity Pole 3b, electrode 3c, electrode 3d and the liquid crystal molecule in region corresponding to electrode 3e form the liquid crystal grating of similar convex lens effect, liquid Liquid crystal molecule has different deflection angles in brilliant grating, has certain refringence in liquid crystal grating between liquid crystal molecule.
Fig. 4 is that the embodiment of the present invention forms the schematic diagram that gray scale is shown.The refractive index of liquid crystal molecule is [no, ne], and no is The ordinary index of refraction of liquid crystal molecule, ne are the extra-ordinary index of refraction of liquid crystal molecule, and applying voltage signal by electrode layer 40 acts on The electric field of liquid crystal molecule can deflect liquid crystal molecule, realize that the refractive index of liquid crystal molecule changes between no and ne.With at the beginning of liquid crystal Exemplified by the horizontal alignment that begins, the refractive index of liquid crystal molecule is no during original state, and the refractive index for applying liquid crystal molecule after voltage is Neff, wherein neff are determined by following formula:
During liquid crystal molecule deflection angle theta=0, neff=no, during liquid crystal molecule deflection angle theta=90, neff=ne.Such as Fig. 4 institutes Show, still by taking liquid crystal initial level orientation as an example, during original state, during each electrode no applied voltage of electrode layer 40, liquid crystal point The refractive index of son is no, therefore liquid crystal molecule is a fixed refractive index no.The fixed refraction of liquid crystal layer causes grating to couple Effect be blanked, the light in ducting layer 30 is limited in ducting layer 30, and without beam projecting, this is dark-state, i.e. L0 ash Rank.Apply the voltage difference that voltage and each electrode apply to each electrode of electrode layer 40, liquid crystal molecule is according to each electrode The electric field that voltage is formed carries out corresponding deflection.Since the voltage of each electrode is different, the electricity of each electrode region Field intensity is different, and the deflection of the liquid crystal molecule of each electrode region is different, the larger liquid crystal molecule of deflection angle and deflection Between the liquid crystal molecule of angle smaller (or not deflecting) there is certain refringence, form the liquid crystal light with refringence Grid 50.The refringence of liquid crystal grating 50 causes the light in ducting layer 30 to be coupled out, according to front diffraction grating formula, The light for meeting the relation that matches is coupled out, and coupling efficiency is related with refractive index difference, and difference is bigger, grating coupled work With more apparent, coupling efficiency is bigger.When refractive index difference is ne-no, refringence is maximum, and the light for being coupled out is most More, this is illuminated state, i.e. L255 grayscale.It is intermediate gray scale states when refractive index difference is between 0 and ne-no.It needs to illustrate , so-called grayscale be by it is most bright with it is most dark between brightness change divide into several pieces, grayscale is represented by most secretly to most bright Between different brightness stratum level, the picture effect that level is more to be presented is finer and smoother, can show 256 brightness layers Secondary grayscale is 256 grayscale, and 256 grayscale may include 256 grades of grayscale from L0 grayscale to L255 grayscale.
By preceding description as can be seen that since liquid crystal grating is determined by number of electrodes, by adjusting number of electrodes The size of i.e. adjustable liquid crystal grating adjusts the screen periods of liquid crystal grating.In Fig. 3 c, 3 electrodes determine a liquid crystal light Grid, grating period A=2*L, L is the sum of electrode width and electrode spacing, and in Fig. 3 d, 5 electrodes determine a liquid crystal light Grid, grating period A=4*L.For the liquid crystal grating that 2N+1 electrode determines, grating period A=2N*L, N be more than Or the positive integer equal to 1, L are the sum of electrode width and electrode spacing.In the case of definite electrode width and spacing, number of electrodes More, the cycle is bigger.During actual implementation, can by the design of electrode structure and width, on the premise of technological limits allows, Make the spacing between electrode width and electrode as small as possible, to realize that the screen periods of liquid crystal grating are continuously adjustable.
By preceding description it can also be seen that since the voltage difference between the deflection angle and electrode of liquid crystal molecule is related, The larger region of voltage difference, the deflection angle of liquid crystal molecule is bigger, the smaller region of voltage difference, the deflection angle of liquid crystal molecule compared with It is small, therefore by adjusting the voltage difference between each electrode, the refractive index difference of liquid crystal molecule in liquid crystal grating can be adjusted.Due to The coupling luminous coupling efficiency of ducting layer changes according to the variation of the refractive index difference of liquid crystal grating, therefore by adjusting each electricity The voltage of pole, and then the coupling luminous coupling efficiency of ducting layer can be adjusted.Liquid crystal grating or liquid crystal lens are according to application The difference of voltage makes in liquid crystal layer liquid crystal molecule have different deflection angles, to realize to the refractive index of incident polarized light not Together, therefore the formation of liquid crystal grating is related with the polarization direction of incident light.For example, the polarised light shaken in face, for forming water The electrode structure of ordinary telegram field, when long axis of liquid crystal molecule direction is identical with incident light polarization direction, the voltage of target is less than two The voltage of lateral electrode, when long axis of liquid crystal molecule direction arranges in face, the voltage of target is more than the electricity of two lateral electrodes Pressure;For vertical electric field structure, liquid crystal molecule is vertical orientated, and the voltage of target is more than the voltage of two lateral electrodes.
