Detailed Description
In order to more clearly illustrate the present invention, the present invention will be further described with reference to examples and drawings. Like parts in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals. It is to be understood by persons skilled in the art that the following detailed description is illustrative and not restrictive, and that this invention is not limited to the details given herein.
In order to avoid that ambient light is reflected to enter human eyes, a quarter wave plate and a polaroid are sequentially laminated on a display Panel, external ambient light passes through a linear polaroid with an absorption axis being vertical, light passing through the absorption axis being horizontal, namely light in the horizontal direction can pass through the linear polaroid, light in the vertical direction is absorbed, namely unpolarized light is changed into incident linear polarized light in the horizontal direction, light continues to advance, light passes through the quarter wave plate, light is changed into left-hand circularly polarized light from the incident linear polarized light in the horizontal direction, light continues to advance to a reflecting plate at the next layer of the quarter wave plate, the light is rotated by 180 degrees and is emitted back to become right-hand circularly polarized light, light becomes reflected linear polarized light after passing through the quarter wave plate again, but the reflected linear polarized light direction of the time is perpendicular to the incident linear polarized light direction of the first passing through the quarter wave plate, namely the vertical direction, and the linear polarized light in the vertical direction is parallel to the absorption axis of the polaroid, so that the light is absorbed by the polaroid and cannot be transmitted to the surface of the display Panel (Panel).
But at the same time, the efficiency of the light emitted by the display panel is greatly reduced, and the intensity of the emitted light originally set by the display panel can be maintained only by increasing higher power consumption, specifically: as shown in fig. 1, after the light emitted from the display panel 1 passes through the quarter wave plate 2, no light in any vibration direction is absorbed, the light continues to advance, the light passing through the polarizer 3, the light in the vibration direction perpendicular to the absorption axis of the polarizer 3, for example, the vertical direction, can pass through, the parallel light is absorbed, that is, the unpolarized light is converted into the linearly polarized light emitted in the horizontal direction, at this time, the light emitted from the panel is converted into the light which is only perpendicular to the absorption axis, that is, the light emitted from the display panel is less than 50% of the light emitted from the display panel, about 30% of the light emitted from the display panel is visible to the human eye, and if the human eye wants to see the originally set intensity of the light of the display panel, the display brightness must be increased at the cost of higher power consumption to improve the light emitted from the display panel.
In view of the above, an embodiment of the present invention provides a display device, including a display panel, and a cholesteric liquid crystal film, a quarter-wave plate, and a polarizer sequentially disposed on an light-emitting side of the display panel, where the cholesteric liquid crystal film is configured to transmit one of left-handed circularly polarized light and right-handed circularly polarized light of red wavelength, green wavelength, and blue wavelength, and reflect the other; the angle between the optical axis of the quarter wave plate (which may also be called the phase axis) and the absorption axis of the polarizer is set such that the polarizer transmits circularly polarized light through the quarter wave plate.
In one specific example, as shown in fig. 2, the display device includes a display panel 10 such as an OLED display panel, a cholesteric liquid crystal film 40 disposed at an light emitting side of the display panel 10, a quarter wave plate 50, and a polarizer 70, wherein the display panel 10 includes, for example, an anode 100, a Hole Injection Layer (HIL) 101, a Hole Transport Layer (HTL) 102, an Electron Blocking Layer (EBL) 103, an emission layer (EML) 104, a Hole Blocking Layer (HBL) 105, an Electron Transport Layer (ETL) 106, an Electron Injection Layer (EIL) 107, and a cathode 108.
The anode 100 is a high work function electrode material such as transparent oxide of ITO, IZO, or the like, or a composite electrode formed of Ag/ITO, ag/IZO, CNT/ITO, CNT/IZO, GO/ITO, GO/IZO, or the like.
The hole injection layer 101 may be HATCN, mnO 3 The hole injection layer may be formed by co-evaporation of the hole transport material by P-type doping with a layer thickness of 5 to 20 nm.
The material of the hole transport layer 102 is a material having good hole transport characteristics.
An Electron Blocking Layer (EBL) 103 includes a blue exciton blocking layer, a red exciton blocking layer, and a green exciton blocking layer, wherein the thickness of the blue exciton blocking layer is 1 to 10nm, and functions mainly to transfer holes, block electrons, and excitons generated in the light emitting layer; the thickness of the red light exciton blocking layer is regulated between 40 and 60nm; the green exciton blocking layer thickness was adjusted between 15-30 nm.

The Hole Blocking Layer (HBL) 105 has a thickness in the range of 2 to 10nm and serves mainly to transfer electrons and block holes.
The material of the Electron Transport Layer (ETL) 106 is a material having good electron transport characteristics.
The Electron Injection Layer (EIL) 107 can be prepared by vapor deposition of LiF, liQ, yb, ca, etc. materials of 0.5nm to 2 nm.
The cathode 108 may be prepared by vapor deposition of 10nm to 20nm Mg, ag, al films, or may be prepared using alloys such as Mg: ag, preferably Mg: ag in a ratio of 3: 7-1: 9, adjusting the transmittance of the metal film layer at 530nm to be 50% -60%, so as to form a semitransparent cathode; transparent cathode can also be prepared by transparent oxide ITO, IZO, IGZO and other materials.
The cholesteric liquid crystal film 40 is a polymer composite film material, and the film material comprises a liquid crystal monomer and a chiral additive, and the chiral additive can be added into liquid crystal molecules to enable the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules to be twisted, so that the liquid crystal molecules with a certain pitch and in a cholesteric phase are formed. In this example, the doping mass percentage of the chiral additive is less than 10%.
Cholesteric phase is an important phase of liquid crystal molecules. Within the cholesteric phase, the liquid crystal molecules are arranged in layers and have a continuous helical structure. The liquid crystal molecules in the cholesteric phase may be either left-handed or right-handed. When incident light is incident on the left-handed liquid crystal molecules, the left-handed liquid crystal molecules will undergo Bragg reflection of a portion of the incident light, while another portion of the incident light will be transmitted through the liquid crystal molecules. Wherein the reflected light is left circularly polarized light of a certain wavelength or wavelength range, which may be referred to as a reflected wavelength range or a cut-off wavelength range; and the transmitted light is right circularly polarized light or left circularly polarized light in a non-reflective wavelength range. For another example, when the liquid crystal molecules in the cholesteric phase are right-handed liquid crystal molecules, the right-handed liquid crystal molecules will perform Bragg reflection on a part of the incident light, and another part of the incident light will be transmitted through the liquid crystal molecules. Wherein the reflected light is right circularly polarized light in a certain wavelength range; and the transmitted light is left circularly polarized light or right circularly polarized light in a non-reflective wavelength range. Thus, the liquid crystal molecules in the cholesteric phase can achieve selective reflection.
Because of the special helical structure of cholesteric liquid crystals, the degree of spin axis orientation is more than 80%, and the cholesteric liquid crystals have Bragg reflection characteristics, namely, when the wavelength of incident light meets λ=np, the incident light is reflected, λ is the reflection wavelength, P is the pitch of the cholesteric liquid crystals, namely, the distance when the orientation direction of liquid crystal molecules is subjected to 360 DEG change, and n is the average refractive index of the liquid crystals. In general, n is relatively fixed, the average refractive index of the liquid crystal monomer is 1.4.ltoreq.n.ltoreq.1.6, and the refractive index difference is 0.05.ltoreq.Δn < 0.3, so that the reflection wavelength of cholesteric liquid crystal can be controlled by adjusting the pitch P.
The polymer composite film material of this example has a transmittance of more than 90% for light having a wavelength of 430nm or less and a wavelength of 660nm or more, and has a large transmittance of light, and therefore almost all light having a wavelength of 430nm or less and a wavelength of 660nm or more passes through the polymer composite film material, and the polymer composite film material does not act thereon.
The transmittance of the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules of the polymer composite film material for passing light with the wavelength ranging from 430nm to 490nm, 500nm to 570nm and 590nm to 660nm is about 40% to 50%, namely, part of light waves with the wavelength ranging from 430nm to 490nm, 500nm to 570nm and 590 to 660nm are reflected by the cholesteric liquid crystal molecules. Wherein, the three wavelength ranges of 430 nm-490 nm, 500 nm-570 nm and 590 nm-660 nm correspond to the reflected wavelength being blue wavelength, the reflected wavelength being green wavelength and the reflected wavelength being red wavelength, respectively.
The cholesteric liquid crystal film is used for transmitting one of left circularly polarized light and right circularly polarized light with red light wavelength, green light wavelength and blue light wavelength, reflecting the other, and enabling the transmitted left circularly polarized light or right circularly polarized light to become linearly polarized light after passing through the quarter wave plate.
In a specific example, the quarter wave plate, the polarization conversion layer, is a phase retardation film with 1/4λ, the polarization conversion layer has a non-positive wavelength dispersibility satisfying 0.78 < R Blue /R 0 <1.1,0.9<R Green /R 0 <1.1,1<R Red /R 0 < 1.1, wherein R 0 Is the optical path difference of the center wavelength (580 nm), R Blue R is the optical path difference of blue light wavelength Green Is the green wavelength optical path difference, R Red As for the red wavelength optical path difference, it can be seen that the center wavelength (580 nm) optical path difference is not much different from the blue wavelength optical path difference, the green wavelength optical path difference and the red wavelength optical path difference.
In a specific example, the polarizer is formed by compounding a plurality of layers of films, and the basic structure includes: the most intermediate PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), two layers of TAC (cellulose triacetate), PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive), release film and protective film. The PVA film absorbing the dichroic absorption molecules is responsible for polarization, is a core part of a polarizing plate, determines key optical indexes such as polarization performance, transmittance, color tone and the like of the polarizer, and plays a role in supporting and protecting the extended PVA film. The polaroid is used for transmitting light perpendicular to the absorption axis of the polaroid and absorbing light parallel to the absorption axis of the polaroid.
In a specific example, as shown in fig. 3, taking a case where the polymer composite film reflects the left circularly polarized light of red light, green light and blue light and transmits the right circularly polarized light of red light, green light and blue light, natural light (including red light, green light and blue light) emitted from the display panel passes through the polymer composite film, the polymer composite film reflects the left circularly polarized light accounting for 50% of the total light quantity of the red light, green light and blue light, transmits the right circularly polarized light accounting for 50% of the total light quantity of the emitted natural light, and the reflected left circularly polarized light accounting for 50% of the total light quantity of the emitted natural light becomes the right circularly polarized light after being reflected by, for example, 35% -40% of the reflection cathode 108 of the meal on the display surface, and the right circularly polarized light accounting for 50% × (35% -40%) of the total light of the emitted natural light can be transmitted by the polymer composite film, that is, the 50% of the right circularly polarized light obtained by the transmission of the polymer composite film and the right circularly polarized light accounting for 50% × (35% -40%) of the total light of the emitted natural light after being reflected twice passes through the quarter wave plate. The included angle between the optical axis of the quarter wave plate and the absorption axis of the polaroid is set to enable the first linearly polarized light accounting for 50% +50% × (35% -40%) of total light quantity of emergent natural light to be transmitted by the polaroid, at the moment, the emergent light of the display device seen by human eyes is the light accounting for 50% × (35% -40%) of total light quantity of the emergent natural light of the display panel, namely, the emergent light efficiency of the display device reaches 67.5% -70%, compared with the emergent light efficiency of about 30% in the prior art, the emergent light efficiency of the display device is greatly improved, the display effect is improved, the brightness of the display panel is improved without increasing excessive power consumption, and the power consumption of the display panel is reduced.
In one possible implementation, the pitch of the liquid crystal molecules of the cholesteric liquid crystal film includes a first pitch corresponding to a reflected wavelength of red light, a second pitch corresponding to a reflected wavelength of green light, and a third pitch corresponding to a reflected wavelength of blue light, wherein the second pitch has an overall ratio of greater than 50%.
Further, the overall ratio of the second pitch is 70% to 80%, and the overall ratio of the second pitch is more preferably 75%.
For white light, red band light: green light band light: blue band light approximately equal to 3:6:1, i.e. for white light, the duty ratio of the light in the green light band is the most, so that the overall transmittance of the light in the green light band can be increased to the greatest extent, which can be achieved by increasing the duty ratio of the second pitch, i.e. the cholesteric liquid crystal film or the polymer composite film material, which has the reflection wavelength of the light in the green light band, to achieve the enhancement of the transmittance effect of the cholesteric liquid crystal film or the polymer composite film material for the green light as shown in the comparison of fig. 3 and fig. 1, it can be understood that the distribution density of the second pitch is increased, so that the light path of the light output is increased for the green light in the whole display area as shown in fig. 3 instead of the subareas as shown in fig. 1. Therefore, the light transmittance performance of the high polymer composite film combined with the display panel, the quarter wave plate and the polaroid is higher by setting the ratio of the first pitch, the second pitch and the third pitch. In this embodiment, the overall ratio of the second pitch is set to be greater than 50%, and the sum of the overall ratios of the first pitch and the third pitch is set to be less than 50%.
In a specific example, the pitch of the liquid crystal molecules of the cholesteric liquid crystal film comprises a first pitch corresponding to the reflection wavelength of red light, a second pitch corresponding to the reflection wavelength of green light and a third pitch corresponding to the reflection wavelength of blue light, wherein the first pitch is 420-450 nm as shown in fig. 4, and the corresponding red light wave band is 590-660 nm; the second pitch is shown in FIG. 5, the size is 350-380 nm, and the corresponding green light wave band size is 500-570 nm; the third pitch is shown in FIG. 6, and has a size of 310-340 nm and a corresponding blue light band size of 430-490 nm.
In one possible implementation, the cholesteric liquid crystal film is configured to transmit left circularly polarized light at red, green, and blue wavelengths and reflect right circularly polarized light; and an included angle of 45 degrees is formed between the optical axis of the quarter wave plate and the absorption axis of the polaroid.
In a specific example, when the cholesteric liquid crystal film transmits left circularly polarized light of any one of red light wavelength, green light wavelength and blue light wavelength and reflects right circularly polarized light, when an optical axis of the quarter wave plate forms an included angle of 45 degrees with an absorption axis of the polarizer, 50% +50% × (35% -40%) of linearly polarized light obtained through the quarter wave plate can be completely transmitted out through the polarizer.
In one possible implementation, the cholesteric liquid crystal film is configured to transmit right circularly polarized light of red, green, and blue wavelengths and reflect left circularly polarized light; and an included angle of 135 degrees is formed between the optical axis of the quarter wave plate and the absorption axis of the polaroid.
In a specific example, when the cholesteric liquid crystal film transmits right-handed circularly polarized light of any one of red wavelength, green wavelength and blue wavelength and reflects left-handed circularly polarized light, when an optical axis of the quarter-wave plate forms an included angle of 135 degrees with an absorption axis of the polarizer, 50% +50% × (35% -40%) of linearly polarized light obtained through the quarter-wave plate is transmitted through the polarizer.
FIG. 7 shows a relationship between reflection wavelength and transmittance of red, green and blue light of a polymer composite film material provided by the embodiment of the invention, wherein the abscissa is reflection wavelength, and the unit is nm; the ordinate is the light transmittance in%. a1 represents the light transmittance of red light, b1 represents the light transmittance of green light, and c1 represents the light transmittance of blue light, and it can be seen that the polymer composite film material reflects only light having a wavelength corresponding to the reflection wavelength, and the light transmittance of other wavelengths is more than 90%.
In one possible implementation manner, the display panel includes an encapsulation layer located at the light emitting side, and a refractive index difference between the connection layer and the encapsulation layer is greater than or equal to a preset value.
In one possible implementation, the display device further includes a connection layer disposed between the display panel and the cholesteric liquid crystal film.
In a specific example, as shown in FIG. 3, the display device further comprises an encapsulation layer 20 on the cathode 108 of the display panel, a full connection layer 30 on the encapsulation layer 20, and a cholesteric liquid crystal film 40 on the connection layer 30, wherein
