Detailed Description
To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
With the development of display technology, a lot of information of a user is stored in display devices such as mobile phones and computers, and when the user watches the information, the information is ensured not to be seen by other people, namely, the display device is made to be important in peep-proof display. A layer of peep-proof film is usually disposed in the display device for absorbing a portion of light emitted from the light-emitting module of the display device, thereby reducing the viewing angle of the display device. However, such a display device can only display peep-proof, and there is a limitation when a user wants to share information displayed by the display device (for example, a plurality of people watch a video together). The display device where the light-emitting module is located provided by the embodiment of the invention can realize switching between peep-proof display and non-peep-proof display, namely, information displayed by the display device can be only watched by a user just facing a screen, and can also be shared by more users for watching, so that the display flexibility of the display device is improved.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a light emitting module according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the light emitting module 10 may include: a control unit (not shown in FIG. 1), and a substrate 100 divided into n sections A, n ≧ 1. Each subarea A of the n subareas A is provided with: the lighting device comprises a first lighting unit 101 and a second lighting unit 102, and the lighting angle of the first lighting unit 101 is smaller than that of the second lighting unit 102.
The control unit may be adapted to: in the display stage, it is determined whether each of the n partitions a of the substrate 100 satisfies a preset condition, where the preset condition may include: the corresponding pixels of each subarea in the image to be displayed only comprise black pixels; when each partition does not meet the preset condition, in the peep-proof display mode, controlling the first light-emitting unit 101 on each partition to emit light, and forbidding controlling the second light-emitting unit 102 on each partition to emit light; in the non-peep-proof display mode, the second light-emitting unit 102 on each partition is controlled to emit light. Alternatively, the control unit may prohibit control of each light emitting unit on each partition to emit light when the preset condition is satisfied by the partition.
Optionally, a selection module may be disposed in the display device where the light emitting module is located, and a user may operate the selection module (for example, click a selection button corresponding to the selection module displayed by the display device) to select a display mode of the display device. When the control unit in the light-emitting module controls the light-emitting unit, the display mode of the display device selected by a user can be acquired firstly, and whether the display mode is the peep-proof display mode or not is judged.
It should be noted that the Light Emitting module provided in the embodiments of the present invention can be used as a backlight module in a liquid crystal Display device, and can also be used as an OLED panel in an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) Display device. In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, when the light emitting module is used in a liquid crystal display device, n partitions in the light emitting module may correspond to n regions in a display panel of the display device one by one, and the light emitting unit disposed on each partition may be configured to provide backlight for the region corresponding to the partition in the display panel, so that the region in the display panel may display an image. The n partitions may correspond one-to-one with the n regions in the image. The above-mentioned "the corresponding pixels of the partition in the image only include black pixels", that is: the color of the pixel in the area corresponding to the partition in the image is black. In fig. 1, only n-32 is taken as an example, and each light-emitting unit is rectangular, optionally, n may also be another value, for example, n-1 or n-36, and the shape of each light-emitting unit may also be circular or elliptical, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
In the display stage, the control unit needs to control the light-emitting unit in the light-emitting module to emit light according to a preset condition. For example, taking one partition a1 in the substrate as an example, the control unit may determine whether the colors of the pixels corresponding to the partition a1 in the image to be displayed are all black. If so, the control unit may inhibit each light-emitting unit on the partition a1 from being controlled to emit light so that the area corresponding to the partition a1 in the display panel does not display an image, which is equivalent to displaying a black image. If not, the control unit can judge whether the current display mode is the peep-proof mode or the non-peep-proof mode; if the current display mode is the peep-proof mode, the control unit can control the first light-emitting unit on the partition A1 to emit light and forbid the control of the second light-emitting unit on the partition A1 to emit light, so that the visual angle of the display device is smaller; if the current display mode is the non-peep-proof mode, the control unit may control the second light-emitting units on the partition a1 to emit light, so that the viewing angle of the display device is larger.
For example, the control unit may prohibit controlling the first light-emitting unit to emit light when controlling the second light-emitting unit on the partition a1 to emit light, so as to reduce the power consumption of the light-emitting module; alternatively, the first light-emitting unit on the partition a1 may be controlled to emit light as well, so that the light intensity emitted by the light-emitting module is higher.
In the related art, even if the display device needs to display a black image, all the light emitting units in the light emitting module in the display device need to emit light, so that the black image displayed by the display device also has a certain brightness, and the contrast of the image displayed by the display device is low.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the pixel corresponding to a partition in the image to be displayed only includes a black pixel, the light emitting unit disposed on the partition may not emit light, that is, local dimming may be implemented. Thus, the display device can display an image with lower brightness, the contrast of the image displayed by the display device is improved, and the brightness range which can be displayed by the display device is enlarged. Optionally, the display device where the light emitting module provided in the embodiment of the present invention is located may further include a liquid crystal display panel, which is used to match with the light emitting module so that the display device normally displays images.
Optionally, if a plurality of first light emitting units and a plurality of second light emitting units are disposed on the partition in the substrate, the plurality of first light emitting units on the partition may all be connected in series, and the plurality of second light emitting units on the partition may also all be connected in series. The control unit may be connected to one of the plurality of first light emitting units to simultaneously control the plurality of first light emitting units; the control unit may be further connected to one of the plurality of second light emitting units to simultaneously control the plurality of second light emitting units.
In summary, in the light emitting module provided in the embodiments of the present invention, each partition of the substrate is provided with the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit, and the light emitting angle of the first light emitting unit is smaller than the light emitting angle of the second light emitting unit. In the peep-proof display mode, the control unit can control the first light-emitting unit on the subarea to emit light and forbid to control the second light-emitting unit to emit light, so that the visual angle of the display device where the light-emitting module is positioned is smaller; under the non-peep-proof display mode, the control unit can control the second light-emitting units on the subareas to emit light, so that the visual angle of the display device where the light-emitting module is located is larger, and the display flexibility of the display device where the light-emitting module is located is higher.
Optionally, the first Light Emitting unit and the second Light Emitting unit may be mini Light Emitting diodes (mini LEDs), and the size range of the mini LEDs may be 100 micrometers to 150 micrometers. Optionally, the first Light Emitting unit and the second Light Emitting unit may also be micro Light Emitting diodes (micro LEDs), and the size of the micro LEDs may be 10 micrometers.
Optionally, referring to fig. 2, the first light emitting unit 101 may be a high-directional light emitting diode, and the light emitting angle α may range from 5 degrees to 20 degrees; the second light emitting unit 102 may be a scattering type light emitting diode, and the light emitting angle β thereof may range from 45 degrees to 90 degrees.
The arrangement of the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit on each partition can be realized in various manners, and two of the realizations are exemplified below:
in a first implementation manner, please continue to refer to fig. 1, each partition a may have: a plurality of first light emitting units 101 and a plurality of second light emitting units 102. The plurality of first light emitting units 101 may enclose a plurality of first rings H1 with different sizes, the plurality of second light emitting units 102 may enclose a plurality of second rings H2 with different sizes, the plurality of first rings H1 and the plurality of second rings H2 may be concentric rings, and the plurality of first rings H1 may be spaced from the plurality of second rings H2 one by one.
In a second implementation manner, referring to fig. 3, each partition a may have: a plurality of light emitting modules a arranged in an array, each of which may include one first light emitting unit 101 and one second light emitting unit 102. In the embodiment of the present invention, only the second light emitting unit 102 in each light emitting module a is disposed on the right side of the first light emitting unit 101 as an example, optionally, the second light emitting unit 102 in each light emitting module a may also be disposed on the left side, the upper side, or the lower side of the first light emitting unit 101; or, the arrangement of the light emitting units in the light emitting modules in adjacent rows may be opposite, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
In the related art, there are various realizable manners for the peep-proof display of the display device, and three realizable manners are exemplified as follows:
in a first implementation, a privacy film, which may be a Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal (PDLC) film, may be provided in the display device. When voltage is applied to the peep-proof film, the optical axis of the liquid crystal particles in the peep-proof film can be perpendicular to the display panel of the display device, so that light emitted by the light-emitting module can be scattered less, the visual angle of the display device is smaller, and peep-proof display of the display device is realized. If no voltage is applied to the peep-proof film, the optical axes of the liquid crystal particles in the peep-proof film are randomly oriented, and light emitted by the light-emitting module can be strongly scattered when passing through the peep-proof film, so that the visual angle of the display device is larger, and non-peep-proof display of the display device is realized. The peep-proof film is high in production cost, and a circuit for applying voltage to the peep-proof film is required to be arranged on the peep-proof film, so that the display device is high in manufacturing difficulty and high in reject ratio; in addition, because the light emitted by the light-emitting module passes through the peep-proof film and then is greatly attenuated, the light-emitting module in the display device needs to emit light with higher brightness, and the loss of the light-emitting module is higher.
In a second implementation, the display device can be used in combination with the peep-proof glasses, so that the user can only view the information displayed on the display device by wearing the corresponding peep-proof glasses of the display device. The display device is required to be combined with the peep-proof glasses for use, and a user needs to carry the peep-proof glasses at any time, so that the use convenience of the display device is poor.
In a third implementation manner, referring to fig. 4 and fig. 5, the display device may include a Light bar 301, a Light bar 302, a chamfered mirror 303, two Light Guide Plates (LGP) 304, a Light Guide Plate 305, a reflective sheet 306, a diffusion film 307, and a display panel 308, wherein the Light Guide plates 304 may be matched with the chamfered mirror 303. It should be noted that the light rays may become more convergent after passing through the light guide plate matched with the chamfered prism. For example, as shown in fig. 4, when the light bar 301 is turned on, the light ray G1 emitted by the display device is more convergent, and the viewing angle of the display device is smaller, so that the peep-proof display can be realized; as shown in fig. 5, when the light bar 302 is turned on, the light G2 emitted from the display device is relatively divergent, and the display device has a relatively large viewing angle, so that non-peep-proof display can be achieved. The display device is provided with the two lamp strips and the two light guide plates, and the thickness of the light guide plates is larger, so that the display device is thicker and heavier, is complex to assemble, and cannot comply with the trend that the display device is thinner and thinner.
The display device provided by the embodiment of the invention does not need to be provided with the peep-proof film, so that the luminous brightness of the luminous module does not need to be overlarge, and the loss of the luminous module is small. The display device where the light-emitting module is located can display in a peep-proof manner without matching with peep-proof glasses, and the display device is high in use convenience. The display device where the light-emitting module is located does not need to be provided with more light guide plates, the size of a light-emitting unit in the light-emitting module is smaller, and the display device can be thinner and thinner. The display device where the light-emitting module is located can conveniently control the display device to carry out peep-proof display or non-peep-proof display through the control of the first light-emitting unit and the second light-emitting unit in the light-emitting module through the control unit, and the display device is high in display flexibility.
In summary, in the light emitting module provided in the embodiments of the present invention, each partition of the substrate is provided with the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit, and the light emitting angle of the first light emitting unit is smaller than the light emitting angle of the second light emitting unit. In the peep-proof display mode, the control unit can control the first light-emitting unit on the subarea to emit light and forbid to control the second light-emitting unit to emit light, so that the visual angle of the display device where the light-emitting module is positioned is smaller; under the non-peep-proof display mode, the control unit can control the second light-emitting units on the subareas to emit light, so that the visual angle of the display device where the light-emitting module is located is larger, and the display flexibility of the display device where the light-emitting module is located is higher.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a light emitting module according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method may be applied to a control unit in the light emitting module shown in fig. 1 or 3 to control the light emitting module shown in fig. 1 or 3. As shown in fig. 6, the method may include:
step 601, in the display stage, judging whether each partition of n partitions of the substrate meets a preset condition. If each partition meets the preset condition, go to step 602; if each partition does not satisfy the predetermined condition, go to step 603.
For example, the preset condition may include: the corresponding pixels of each partition in the image to be displayed include only black pixels. The display panel in the display device in which the light emitting module is located may include n regions in one-to-one correspondence with the n partitions. If a black image needs to be displayed in an area corresponding to a certain partition in the display panel, and pixels of the partition corresponding to the image to be displayed only include black pixels, the control unit may determine that the partition meets a preset condition; otherwise, the control unit may determine that the partition does not satisfy the preset condition.
Step 602, prohibiting each light-emitting unit on each partition from being controlled to emit light.
For example, when determining that a certain partition satisfies the preset condition, the control unit may prohibit controlling each light-emitting unit on the partition to emit light, so that the area corresponding to the partition in the display panel does not display an image, which is equivalent to displaying a black image.
Step 603, determining whether the display mode of the display device where the light emitting module is located is the peep-proof display mode. If the display mode of the display device is the peep-proof display mode, go to step 604; if the display mode of the display device is the peep-proof display mode, step 605 is executed.
For example, a selection module may be disposed in the display device where the light emitting module is located, and a user may operate the selection module (for example, click a selection button corresponding to the selection module displayed by the display device) to select a display mode of the display device. When the control unit in the light-emitting module controls the light-emitting unit, the display mode of the display device selected by a user can be acquired firstly, and whether the display mode is the peep-proof display mode or not is judged.
Step 604, controlling the first light emitting unit on each partition to emit light, and forbidding controlling the second light emitting unit on each partition to emit light.
When the display mode of the display device is the peep-proof display mode, the control unit can control the first light-emitting unit with the smaller light-emitting angle on the partition to emit light and forbid the control of the second light-emitting unit with the larger light-emitting angle to emit light, so that the light emitted by the display device is converged, the visible angle of the display device is smaller, and the peep-proof display of the display device is realized.
Step 605, controlling the second light emitting unit on each partition to emit light.
When display device's display mode is the peep-proof display mode, the great second luminescence unit of luminous angle is luminous on the control unit can control the subregion to the light that makes display device send comparatively diverges, and then makes display device's visual angle great, realizes display device's peep-proof and shows.
In summary, in the control method of the light emitting module provided in the embodiments of the present invention, each partition of the light emitting module substrate is provided with the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit, and the light emitting angle of the first light emitting unit is smaller than the light emitting angle of the second light emitting unit. In the peep-proof display mode, the control unit can control the first light-emitting unit on the subarea to emit light and forbid to control the second light-emitting unit to emit light, so that the visual angle of the display device where the light-emitting module is positioned is smaller; under the non-peep-proof display mode, the control unit can control the second light-emitting units on the subareas to emit light, so that the visual angle of the display device where the light-emitting module is located is larger, and the display flexibility of the display device where the light-emitting module is located is higher.
Fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of another light emitting module according to an embodiment of the invention.
