For the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the objects, aspects and advantages of the present disclosure, reference is made to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

The use of "first," "second," and similar terms in one or more embodiments of the specification is not intended to indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but rather is used to distinguish one element from another. The word "comprising" or "comprises", and the like, means that the element or item listed before the word covers the element or item listed after the word and its equivalents, but does not exclude other elements or items. The terms "connected" or "coupled" and the like are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "upper", "lower", "left", "right", and the like are used merely to indicate relative positional relationships, and when the absolute position of the object being described is changed, the relative positional relationships may also be changed accordingly.
Fig. 1a and 1b are schematic structural diagrams of a mirror display device in the prior art. The mirror display device shown in fig. 1a implements mirror display by disposing a metal patterned reflective layer 201 on the light exit side of the display panel 100', and the metal patterned reflective layer 201 divides the display surface of the mirror display device into a mirror reflective region and a light emitting region, wherein the light emitting region can allow the output light 204 of the display device to pass through the metal patterned reflective layer 201 to be seen by human eyes, thereby implementing the display function of the mirror display device; the external incident light is reflected by the specular reflection area to generate reflected light 203 which is seen by human eyes, so that the mirror function of the mirror display device is realized. The mirror display device shown in fig. 1b realizes mirror display by disposing the transflective film layer 202 on the light-emitting side of the display panel 100', and the transflective film layer 202 can allow the output light 204 of the display device to pass through and be seen by human eyes, so as to realize the display function of the mirror display device, and can reflect the external incident light to form the reflected light 203 to be seen by human eyes, so as to realize the mirror function of the mirror display device. However, in the two types, the reflected image and the displayed image of the mirror display device are superimposed, so that interference occurs between the reflected image and the displayed image, and the user cannot see the reflected image and the displayed image, thereby reducing the display and reflection effects of the mirror display device.
For the above reasons, one or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide a light controller 200. As shown in fig. 2, the light controller 200 of the present embodiment is configured to be disposed on the light emitting side of the display panel 100, and the light controller 200 is configured to transmit the output light of the light emitting side of the display panel 100 in the first state, so that the external incident light is absorbed; in the second state, the output light of the light-emitting side of the display panel 100 is absorbed, and the external incident light is reflected.
As shown in fig. 3a, when the light controller 200 is in the first state, under the control of the light controller 200, the output light 204 emitted from the light emitting side of the display panel 100 can pass through the light controller 200 and be seen by human eyes, thereby implementing the display function; the external incident light 205 is absorbed by the light controller 200 and thus cannot be seen by human eyes, so that the mirror reflection function cannot be realized; therefore, only the display function is performed when the light controller 200 is in the first state.
As shown in fig. 3b, when the light controller 200 is in the second state, under the control of the light controller 200, the output light 204 emitted from the light-emitting side of the display panel 100 is absorbed by the light controller 200, and thus cannot be seen by human eyes, so that the display function cannot be realized; the external incident light 205 is reflected by the light controller 200 and is seen by human eyes, thereby realizing the mirror reflection function; therefore, only the mirror reflection function is realized when the light controller 200 is in the second state.
In the embodiment of the present description, the light controller 200 can only realize the display function when operating in the first state, and can only realize the mirror reflection function when operating in the second state, so that interference between the reflected image and the displayed image is avoided, and thus, a user can clearly see both the reflected image and the displayed image, and the display and reflection effects of the mirror display device are improved; meanwhile, when the specular reflection function is realized, the user can realize the specular reflection function without turning off the display panel 100 when the user wants to use the specular reflection function, which is convenient and fast, and improves the user experience.
In some alternative embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the light controller 200 includes a transflective polarizing plate (APF/POL)91, a liquid crystal cell 24, and an auxiliary polarizing plate 25 sequentially stacked along a direction away from the light-emitting side of the display panel 100, wherein the transflective polarizing plate 91 is used for converting the output light 204 emitted from the light-emitting side of the display panel 100 into a first polarized light to enter the liquid crystal cell 24, and the auxiliary polarizing plate 25 is used for converting the external incident light 205 into a second polarized light to enter the liquid crystal cell 24.
As shown in fig. 3a, in the first state, the liquid crystal cell 24 rotates the first polarized light to the same direction as the polarization axis of the auxiliary polarizing plate 25, so that the rotated first polarized light can pass through the auxiliary polarizing plate 25 and be emitted out to be seen by human eyes, thereby implementing the display function. Meanwhile, the liquid crystal cell 24 may rotate the second polarized light to the same direction as the absorption axis of the transflective polarizing plate 91, so that the second polarized light is absorbed by the transflective polarizing plate 91 when passing through the transflective polarizing plate 91, and the second polarized light is neither transmitted by the transflective polarizing plate 91 nor reflected by the transflective polarizing plate 91, so that the mirror reflection function cannot be realized, and thus the reflected image does not interfere with the displayed image.
As shown in fig. 3b, in the second state, the liquid crystal cell 24 rotates the first polarized light to the same direction as the absorption axis of the auxiliary polarizing plate 25, so that the rotated first polarized light can be absorbed by the auxiliary polarizing plate 25 and will not be seen by human eyes, and the displayed image will not interfere with the mirror-reflected image. Meanwhile, the liquid crystal cell 24 also rotates the second polarized light to a direction different from the absorption axis of the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective polarizing plate 91, so that the second polarized light can be reflected by the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective polarizing plate 91 and seen by human eyes, i.e. a mirror reflection function is realized, and even if the display panel is not closed, the reflected image cannot be interfered by the displayed image, and the visual experience of the user on the mirror display cannot be influenced.
In the present embodiment, liquid crystal cell 24 has a Twisted Nematic (TN) liquid crystal structure, and thus the first state is a state where no voltage is applied to liquid crystal cell 24, and the second state is a state where a corresponding voltage is applied to liquid crystal cell 24. The display function can be realized when no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal cell 24, and the mirror reflection function can be realized when a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal cell 24.
Alternatively, a voltage may be applied to a partial region of the liquid crystal cell 24, and no voltage may be applied to a partial region, so that region control is performed by the light controller 200, thereby implementing a partial region display function and a partial region mirror reflection function.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the liquid crystal cell 24 includes a first transparent substrate 245, a second transparent substrate 241, a liquid crystal layer 243, a first conductive layer 244 and a second conductive layer 242, wherein the first transparent substrate 245 is disposed on a side of the transflective polarizing plate 91 away from the display panel 100, the second transparent substrate 241 is disposed between the first transparent substrate 245 and the transflective polarizing plate 91, the first transparent substrate 245 and the second transparent substrate 241 may be made of glass, quartz, organic polymer or other suitable materials, and the first transparent substrate 245 and the second transparent substrate 241 may be made of the same material or different materials as required. The liquid crystal layer 206 includes a plurality of liquid crystal molecules. The first conductive layer 244 is disposed on the first transparent substrate 245 and located between the first transparent substrate 245 and the liquid crystal layer 243; the second conductive layer 242 is disposed on the second transparent substrate 241 and located between the second transparent substrate 241 and the liquid crystal layer 243. The material of the first conductive layer 244 and the second conductive layer 242 may include a transparent conductive material. The transparent conductive material can be indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, combinations thereof or other transparent conductive materials. The mirror display function is realized by applying a voltage to the first conductive layer 244 and the second conductive layer 242, and the display function is realized by not applying a voltage.
In some alternative embodiments, the liquid crystal cell 24 may also adopt an In-plane switching (IPS) liquid crystal structure or a Vertical Alignment (VA) liquid crystal structure, where the first state is a state In which a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal cell 24, the second state is a state In which a corresponding voltage is not applied to the liquid crystal cell 24, and the liquid crystal cell 24 also has a corresponding structure, which has similar technical effects to the liquid crystal cell of the TN structure, and details thereof are not described herein.

The multilayer reflective polarizer 915 includes a plurality of sub-film layers, and each sub-film layer is formed of a pair of Polyethylene terephthalate (pet) and Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). In one embodiment, the Multilayer reflective polarizer 915 is a Multilayer (multilayered) polarizer composed of eight hundred layers of sub-films, the thickness of the Multilayer reflective polarizer 915 is 132 μm, and the thickness of the whole transflective polarizer 91 is 370-380 μm.
Optionally, a first adhesive 912 is disposed between the polyethylene terephthalate separation layer 911 and the polarizing plate 913, and a second adhesive 914 is disposed between the polarizing plate 913 and the multilayer reflective polarizer 915. The transflective polarizing plate 91 may allow light propagating in the x direction to be transmitted therethrough and light propagating in the y direction to be reflected. Therefore, the transflective polarizer 91 can be used as a transflective film to realize a mirror reflection function, and on the other hand, the transflective polarizer 91, together with the liquid crystal cell 24 and the auxiliary polarizer 25, forms a liquid crystal switch, and the transflective polarizer 91 can simultaneously realize the above two functions, thereby saving the film cost.
