Currently, the main Display technologies include LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode), in which the LCD technology is a passive Light Emitting technology, that is, the entire backlight structure illuminates the Liquid Crystal cell to realize the brightness control of the optical fiber, and the OLED technology adopts the OLED pixel by pixel to actively emit Light. In addition, based on the self-luminous characteristic of the OLED, the OLED can be well compatible with the optical fingerprint identification module, so that the in-plane optical fingerprint identification becomes the unique advantage of the OLED at present, and how to break through the sensing technology in the LCD screen becomes the important direction for the continuous development of the LCD technology in the current comprehensive screen era.
The OLED under-screen sensing technology can directly adopt an under-screen collimator or an optical lens and the like to realize the collection of optical signals, and because the OLED is opaque self-luminous pixels, the sub-pixel area can not cause the optical crosstalk of a collimation light path. The LCD is a passive light-emitting structure, a backlight module is required, and if a collimating light path is arranged between the backlight module and a liquid crystal box, the irradiation area of backlight is influenced, so that normal display is influenced; if the collimating light path is arranged on one side of the backlight module far away from the liquid crystal box, the collimating light path is easily interfered by a back plate structure and an optical diaphragm in the backlight module, so that serious crosstalk occurs to a signal sensed under an LCD screen. Therefore, how to realize effective collimated light path design is the key to realize LCD screen down-sensing.

In an optional embodiment, the liquid crystal display panel 1 further includes driving circuits 18 disposed at two sides of the second liquid crystal cell 10 to adjust a liquid crystal deflection angle of the second liquid crystal cell 10, so that a polarization direction of polarized light passing through the second liquid crystal cell 10 is rotated by 90 °; and the liquid crystals of the first liquid crystal cell 9 are aligned such that the polarization direction of the polarized light passing through the first liquid crystal cell 9 remains unchanged.
Specifically, the liquid crystal of the liquid crystal layer 4 is a conventional liquid crystal, and the main function of the liquid crystal layer 4 is a half-wave plate effect; the driving circuits 18 are disposed on two sides of the second liquid crystal cell 10, and the liquid crystal of the second liquid crystal cell 10 is deflected after the driving circuits 18 apply bias voltage, so that the polarization direction of the polarized light passing through the second liquid crystal cell 10 can be rotated by 90 degrees; the driving circuits 18 are not disposed on two sides of the first liquid crystal cell 9, so that the liquid crystal of the first liquid crystal cell 9 always maintains the initial alignment arrangement, and the polarization direction of the polarized light passing through the first liquid crystal cell 9 remains unchanged, and of course, the alignment deflection direction of the liquid crystal of the first liquid crystal cell 9 may also be maintained by a constant value voltage applied on two sides of the first liquid crystal cell 9, which is not limited herein.
Specifically, the driving circuit 18 includes a first common electrode 19 disposed between the second liquid crystal cell 10 and the pixel region 12 and a second common electrode 20 disposed between the second liquid crystal cell 10 and the array substrate 15, and biases the liquid crystal of the second liquid crystal cell 10 by applying a bias voltage between the first common electrode 19 and the second common electrode 20, wherein the magnitude of the bias voltage applied by the driving circuit 18 determines the magnitude of the deflection angle of the liquid crystal, and the deflection angle of the liquid crystal can be adjusted by changing the magnitude of the bias voltage, thereby controlling the amount of light transmission of the liquid crystal display panel 1 and realizing the control of the brightness.
In this embodiment, since the first liquid crystal cell 9 is used to keep the polarization direction of the reflected polarized light unchanged, the liquid crystal of the first liquid crystal cell 9 needs to be kept in a state completely free of optical rotation, i.e., in an oriented arrangement, and therefore, the driving circuits 18 do not need to be disposed on both sides of the first liquid crystal cell 9; the second liquid crystal cell 10 is used for ensuring the normal display of the liquid crystal display panel 1, and in the normal display process of the liquid crystal display panel 1, the deflection angle of the liquid crystal of the corresponding second liquid crystal cell 10 is adjusted through the bias voltage applied by the driving circuit 18, so that the display brightness is controlled, and the picture of the liquid crystal display panel 1 has bright or dark; in addition, when the optical sensor 6 performs optical signal acquisition (e.g., fingerprint recognition), the liquid crystal display panel 1 is in a lighting state, and the driving voltage applies a bias voltage to deflect the liquid crystal of the corresponding second liquid crystal cell 10 to a certain angle, so that the polarization direction of the transmitted polarized light can be rotated by 90 °, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the optical signal acquired by the optical sensor 6 and avoiding crosstalk of other stray light.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3, the projection of the first polarization unit 7 in the direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal display panel 1 completely covers the projection of the optical sensor 6 in the direction perpendicular to the liquid crystal display panel 1. Specifically, if the thickness of the array substrate 15 is a, and the maximum included angle between the light path allowed to be received by the optical sensor 6 and the direction perpendicular to the array substrate 15 is θ (collimated light path angle), the width s of the optical sensor 6 is not greater than a × tan θ; taking a fingerprint with a pitch of 300 μm (micrometers) and a thickness of 125 μm of the array substrate 15 as an example, if the collimated light path angle θ is 6 to 10 °, the width s of the optical sensor 6 is not more than 125 × tan θ. This embodiment may increase the perceived signal-to-noise ratio of the optical sensor 6.
In this embodiment, the first polarization unit 7 is optionally attached to the corresponding optical sensor 6.
