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.
Since the display device incorporating the optical transceiver module in the related art has a large volume, the embodiment of the present invention provides a display device incorporating the optical transceiver module and having a small volume.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the display device 10 may include: a display panel 101, an infrared light source 102, a dimming structure 103, and an infrared light receiving assembly 104.
At least one of the infrared light source 102, the dimming structure 103, and the infrared light receiving assembly 104 is embedded in a first area within the display panel 101, and an effective display area of the display panel 101 includes: a second region for displaying an image, and a first region other than the second region. In fig. 1, an infrared light source 102, a dimming structure 103 and an infrared light receiving assembly 104 are embedded in a display panel 101 as an example. Optionally, the infrared light source and the dimming structure may be embedded in the display panel, and the infrared light structure assembly is located outside the display panel, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
The infrared light source 102 is configured to emit infrared light to the display side of the display panel 101; the dimming structure 103 is configured to be able to adjust the propagation direction of the infrared light emitted by the infrared light source 102. The infrared light receiving component 104 is configured to receive infrared light incident from the display side and convert the received infrared light into an electrical signal.
In summary, in the embodiments of the invention, at least one of the infrared light emitting device and the infrared light receiving device is embedded in the display panel and located in the second area of the effective display area of the display panel. Since the second area is an area which is not used for displaying images in the effective display area, the addition of the infrared light emitting assembly and the infrared light receiving assembly does not affect the normal display of the display panel. And at least one of the infrared light emitting assembly and the infrared light receiving assembly is embedded in the display panel, so that the volume of the display panel can not be greatly increased due to the addition of the infrared light emitting assembly and the infrared light receiving assembly. Therefore, the display device incorporating the infrared light emitting module and the infrared light receiving module is small in size.
The light adjustment structure 103 can adjust the propagation direction of the infrared light emitted from the infrared light source 102. For example, with continued reference to fig. 1, the dimming structure can control the propagation direction a of the infrared light to gradually change with time so as to scan all directions on the display side. Fig. 1 shows only the propagation direction a of infrared light at a certain time. For example, the dimming structure may control the propagation direction of the infrared light to be gradually changed along a first direction first, and then gradually changed along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Alternatively, the dimming structure may control the propagation direction of the infrared light to be gradually changed only in the first direction.
Optionally, the infrared light source may include one or more infrared light emitting diodes. When the infrared light source includes a plurality of infrared light emitting diodes, the plurality of infrared light emitting diodes may be arranged in an array. The infrared light receiving assembly may include one or more photodiodes, and when the infrared light receiving assembly includes a plurality of photodiodes, the plurality of photodiodes may be arranged in an array.
Optionally, with continuing reference to fig. 2, on the basis of fig. 1, the display device may further include: the controller 105, the display panel 101 and the infrared light receiving assembly 104 are electrically connected to the controller 105, the infrared light receiving assembly 104 is further configured to output an electrical signal to the controller 105, and the controller 105 is configured to control the display panel 101 to display an image according to the electrical signal. For example, the controller 105 may determine a rotation direction of an eyeball on a display side of the display device according to the received electrical signal, and then control the display panel to display an image according to the rotation direction of the eyeball, so that the image displayed on the display panel can be changed along with the rotation direction of the eyeball, thereby implementing an eye tracking function.
Further, the infrared light source 102 may also be electrically connected to the controller 105, and the controller 105 may also control the infrared light source to emit infrared light. The dimming structure 103 may also be electrically connected to the controller 105, and the controller 105 may also control the adjustment of the propagation direction of the infrared light by the dimming structure 103.
Optionally, the display device provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be a virtual reality display device, or may not be a virtual reality display device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 3, the display panel generally includes an effective display area X and a non-display area Y, where the effective display area X is a pixel area of the display panel that can be seen by a user, and the non-display area Y is generally covered by a front frame of the display device where the display panel is located and cannot be seen by the user. Wherein fig. 1 and 2 each show a cross-sectional structure of the display panel, and fig. 3 shows a top-view structure of the display panel.
Further, the effective display area X of the display panel may include: a second region X1 for displaying an image, and a first region X2 other than the second region X1. Since the first region X2 is not used for displaying an image, the first region X2 may be referred to as a display shadow region. At least one of the infrared light source 102, the dimming structure 103 and the infrared light receiving assembly 104 may be located in the first area X2, so that the at least one structure is embedded in the display panel and does not affect the normal display of the display panel. For example, the infrared light source and the dimming structure may be superimposed on a portion X21 of the first area X2, and the infrared light receiving assembly may be located in another portion X22 of the first area X2.
Taking the example of the effective display area X being divided into the second area X1 and the first area X2 in fig. 3, further, as shown in fig. 4, the first area X2 in fig. 3 may further include a plurality of sub-areas Z, and the second area X1 is located between the plurality of sub-areas Z. Each sub-area Z has at least one of an infrared light source, a dimming structure and an infrared light receiving assembly embedded therein. For example, the plurality of sub-regions Z may be located in at least one direction of the second region X1, and fig. 4 illustrates that the plurality of sub-regions Z are located in four directions of the second region X1, and optionally, the plurality of sub-regions Z may be located in the same direction of the second region X1.
The dimming structure can be any structure capable of controlling the gradual change of the infrared light along with time. In the embodiment of the present invention, the dimming structure is taken as a liquid crystal dimming structure (such as a liquid crystal grating or a liquid crystal lens). For example, fig. 5A is a schematic structural diagram of a dimming structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5A, the dimming structure 103 may include: first control circuit 1031, first polarizer 1032, dimming liquid crystal 1033, and second polarizer 1034. The first polarizer 1032, the dimming liquid crystal 1033, and the second polarizer 1034 are all located on one side of the infrared light source 101 close to the display side, and are sequentially arranged along the direction close to the display side. The first control circuit 1031 is configured to apply an electric field to the dimming liquid crystal 1033 to cause the dimming liquid crystal 1033 to adjust the propagation direction of the infrared light by the action of the electric field. Alternatively, the light modulation structure may not be a liquid crystal light modulation structure, for example, the light modulation structure is a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) grating.
When the dimming structure 103 is a liquid crystal grating, as shown in fig. 5B, the dimming structure 103 deflects a portion of the dimming liquid crystal, so that the region 1 where a portion of the dimming liquid crystal in the dimming structure is located allows the infrared light to pass through, the region 2 where another portion of the dimming liquid crystal is located does not allow the infrared light to pass through, and the propagation direction of the infrared light passing through the dimming structure 103 is adjusted. In addition, when the position of the region 1 allowing the infrared light to pass through in the dimming structure is gradually changed with time (as shown in fig. 5C), the propagation direction of the infrared light passing through the dimming structure 103 is gradually changed with time. Referring to fig. 5B, after the infrared light source 102 emits infrared light, the light adjusting structure 103 can adjust the propagation direction a of the infrared light, for example, adjust the propagation direction a of the infrared light to a direction toward the eyeball T. After the infrared light is emitted to the eyeball T, the infrared light may be reflected to the display device at the eyeball T, so that the infrared light receiving component 104 in the display device can receive the infrared light reflected to the display device.
It should be noted that fig. 5C only schematically shows the process of the position gradual change of the area 1, fig. 5B only schematically shows one position of the area 1, and the number and the positions of the areas 1 shown in fig. 5B and fig. 5C are different. In practical application, the number and the position of the areas 1 can be reversely adjusted according to an actual target, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Further, the display panel may be an organic light emitting diode display panel or a liquid crystal display panel, and specific structures of the two display panels will be explained below.
On one hand, when the display panel is an organic light emitting diode display panel, the structure of the display device may be as shown in fig. 6 and 7. Fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a section PP in fig. 3, and fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a section QQ in fig. 3.
Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the display panel includes a first substrate 1011 and a second substrate 1012 disposed opposite to each other, and an oled pixel unit 1013 located between the first substrate 1011 and the second substrate 1012, where the second substrate 1012 is located on the display side of the display panel. At this time, the dimming structure 103 may further include: a third substrate 1035 disposed between the first polarizer 1032 and the dimming liquid crystal 1033, and a fourth substrate 1036 disposed between the second polarizer 1034 and the dimming liquid crystal 1033, wherein the first control circuit 1031 in the dimming structure 103 may be disposed between the infrared light source 102 and the first substrate 1011. The infrared light source 102 is located between the first substrate 1011 and the light modulation structure 103, and the surface of the second polarizer 1034 far away from the first substrate 1011 is coplanar with the surface of the second substrate 1012 far away from the first substrate 1011; the infrared light receiving element 104 is located between the first substrate 1011 and the second substrate 1012.
The organic light emitting diode pixel unit 1013 may include: a pixel driving circuit 111 and an organic light emitting diode 10132 arranged in this order in a direction close to the display side, the pixel driving circuit 111 being for driving the organic light emitting diode 10132 to emit light, the pixel driving circuit 111 generally including a plurality of thin film transistors and at least one capacitor. The infrared light source 102 may include: the infrared light emitting diode, infrared light receiving assembly 104 includes: a photodiode; at least one of the infrared light emitting diode and the photodiode and the organic light emitting diode 10132 are in the same layer structure. In the embodiment of the present invention, the infrared light emitting diode and the photodiode are both in the same layer structure as the organic light emitting diode 10132. The infrared light emitting diode and the organic light emitting diode 10132 may also be in a same layer structure, and the photodiode and the organic light emitting diode 10132 are not in a same layer structure, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
On the other hand, when the display panel 101 is a liquid crystal display panel, the structure of the display device may be as shown in fig. 8 and 9. Fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a section PP in fig. 3, and fig. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of a section QQ in fig. 3. Referring to fig. 8 and 9, the display panel may include a first substrate 1011 and a second substrate 1012 disposed opposite to each other, and a liquid crystal pixel 1014 disposed between the first substrate 1011 and the second substrate 1012, where the second substrate 1012 is located on the display side of the display panel. The infrared light source 102, the dimming structure 103 and the infrared light receiving assembly 104 are disposed between the first substrate 1011 and the second substrate 1012.
Optionally, the display panel 101 may further include: a third polarizer 1015 and a fourth polarizer 1016, where the third polarizer 1015 may be located on a side of the first substrate 1011 away from the display side, the fourth polarizer 1016 is located on a side of the second substrate 1012 close to the display side, and the second polarizer 1034 and the fourth polarizer 1016 may be an integrated structure. Therefore, the purpose of manufacturing the second polarizer and the fourth polarizer can be simultaneously realized by manufacturing one polarizer, and the manufacturing process of the display device is simplified.
Alternatively, the liquid crystal pixel unit 1014 may include: a pixel driving circuit 111 and a pixel liquid crystal 10142 arranged in sequence along a direction close to the display side, wherein the pixel driving circuit 111 is used for driving the pixel liquid crystal 10142 to deflect, and the pixel driving circuit 111 generally comprises a thin film transistor. The dimming liquid crystal 1033 in the dimming structure 101 may be in the same layer structure as the pixel liquid crystal 10142. Since the dimming liquid crystal 1033 and the pixel liquid crystal 10142 are of the same layer structure, the dimming liquid crystal 1033 can be manufactured at the same time of manufacturing the pixel liquid crystal 10142 without manufacturing the pixel liquid crystal and the dimming liquid crystal respectively by two manufacturing processes, and the manufacturing process of the display device is simplified.
Alternatively, the surface of the first substrate 1011 facing the second substrate 1012 may have a groove B (the groove may be formed by an etching process), and the infrared light source 102 may be located within the groove B. That is, when the dimming liquid crystal and the pixel liquid crystal are in the same layer structure, in the embodiment of the invention, the groove may be dug on the surface of the first substrate 1011, so that the infrared light source 102 may have a larger accommodating space. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the surface of the first substrate is taken as an example, in practical applications, any position of any one of the first substrate and the second substrate may have a groove, for example, the surface of the second substrate facing the first substrate may also have a groove, and the dimming liquid crystal may be located in the groove, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Further, referring to fig. 6, 7, 8 and 9, whether the display panel is an organic light emitting diode display panel or a liquid crystal display panel, the display device may further include: a second control circuit 105 and a third control circuit 106. The first control circuit 1031, the second control circuit 105, and the third control circuit 106 are all located on the surface of the first substrate 1011 near the display side; the second control circuit 105 is electrically connected with the infrared light source 102, and the second control circuit 105 is configured to control the infrared light source 102 to emit light; the third control circuit 106 is electrically connected to the infrared light receiving component 104 and configured to control the output of the electrical signal converted by the infrared light receiving component 104 (for example, output to the controller in fig. 5A).
At least one of the first control circuit 1031, the second control circuit 105 and the third control circuit 106 includes a first film layer, the pixel driving circuit in the display panel includes a second film layer, and the first film layer and the second film layer are in the same layer structure. Thus, the first film layer of the first control circuit, the second control circuit and the third control circuit can be manufactured by the way when the second film layer of the pixel driving circuit is manufactured, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process of the display panel. It should be noted that the first control circuit 1031, the second control circuit 105, and the third control circuit 106 may include one or more first film layers, which is not limited in this embodiment of the invention. For example, the first control circuit 1031, the second control circuit 105 and the third control circuit 106 may each include a thin film transistor, and the thin film transistors in the first control circuit 1031, the second control circuit 105 and the third control circuit 106 may each be in the same layer structure as any thin film transistor in the pixel driving circuit 111.
Still further, as shown in fig. 10, the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include: the housing 107, the display panel, the infrared light source, the dimming structure, and the infrared light receiving assembly may be located within the housing 107. The housing 107 has an infrared light transmitting region C on a side close to the display side, and the dimming structure is configured to adjust a propagation direction of the infrared light to a direction toward the infrared light transmitting region C, so that the infrared light passing through the dimming structure can be made to exit the display device from the infrared light transmitting region C. The infrared light receiving member may be configured to receive infrared light incident from the infrared light transmitting region C.
