In the present embodiment, the switching between the first image M1 and the second image M2 is, for example, a character switching picture or a continuous motion image formed by switching characters into a plurality of pictures, taking the keyboard device as an example, the manufacturer trademark totem can be switched from a static image to a dynamic image (similar to a running effect of a small green person with a traffic light), and the indications of the keys can be switched from the original characters W, A, S, D to pictures ═ ↓, →. In the embodiment, the input device 21 of the electronic device 2 is, for example, a touch panel or a key switch, but the invention is not limited thereto.
It should be noted that, in addition to controlling the light source 11 of the image display apparatus 1 to move through the electronic device 2, the electronic device 2 may also control the brightness and color of the light beam L emitted by the light source 11, so as to change the brightness and color of the displayed image or generate various optical effects such as dynamic changes of the displayed image, and in addition, the on and off of the light source 11 may also be controlled through the electronic device 2.

As shown in fig. 4 and fig. 5, the first light source 101 of the present embodiment is used to provide the first light beam L1, the second light source is used to provide the second light beam L2, and the first light source 101 and the second light source 102 are located on the same horizontal plane, for example, but the invention is not limited to the relative arrangement position between the first light source 101 and the second light source 102. The image display layer 12 is disposed above the first light source 101 and the second light source 102. The refractive structure layer 13 is disposed between the first light source 101, the second light source 102 and the image display layer 12, the first light source 101 is located at a first position P1 'relative to the refractive structure layer 13, and the second light source 102 is located at a second position P2' relative to the refractive structure layer 13. Other structures of the image display device 1a of the present embodiment are similar to those of the image display devices shown in fig. 1 and 2, and therefore are not repeated.
As shown in fig. 4, in the image display device 1a of the present embodiment, in the first use state, the first light beam L1 emitted by the first light source 101 located at the first position P1 ' is incident to the refractive structure layer 13 and has a first included angle θ 1 ' with the reference plane P, and at this time, the incident first light beam L1 is refracted by the refractive structure layer 13 and guided to the first pattern section 121 of the image display layer 12, so that the image display layer 12 displays the first image M1 ' corresponding to the first pattern section 121. As shown in fig. 2, in the second usage state of the image display device 1a of the present embodiment, the second light beam L2 emitted by the second light source 102 located at the second position P2 ' is incident on the refractive structure layer 13 and has a second included angle θ 2 ' with the reference plane P, and at this time, the incident second light beam L2 is refracted by the refractive structure layer 13 and guided to the second image section 122 of the image display layer 12, so that the image display layer 12 displays the second image M2 ' corresponding to the second pattern section 122. The first included angle θ 1 'is different from the second included angle θ 2'.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the first light source 101 and the second light source 102 are respectively fixed at the first position P1 'and the second position P2', but the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the first light source 101 and the second light source 102 may respectively move forward, backward, leftward, rightward, upward and downward relative to the refractive structure layer 13.
Please refer to fig. 6, which is a functional block diagram illustrating the first light source and the second light source of the image display device controlled by the electronic apparatus shown in fig. 4 and 5, and refer to fig. 4 and 5 simultaneously. As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the processing control unit 22 of the electronic device 2 of the present embodiment is electrically connected to the input device 21 and the first light source 101 and the second light source 102 of the image display apparatus 1 a. In the process of switching the first use state to the second use state, the input device 21 generates a first input signal in response to the operation of the user, and the processing control unit 22 disables the first light source 101 and simultaneously enables the second light source 102 according to the first input signal, so that the second light source 102 emits a second light beam L2 incident on the refractive structure layer 13 and forms a second included angle θ 2' with the reference plane P. In the process of switching the second using state to the first using state, the input device 21 generates a second input signal in response to the operation of the user, and the processing control unit 22 disables the second light source 102 and simultaneously enables the first light source 101 according to the second input signal, so that the first light source 101 emits a first light beam L1 incident on the refractive structure layer 13 and forms a first included angle θ 1' with the reference plane P.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the number of light sources is two, but the invention is not limited to the number of light sources, and in other embodiments, the number of light sources may be increased to more than two according to the actual requirement, for example, a third light source is additionally provided in addition to the first light source 101 and the second light source 102 shown in fig. 4 to 6, and the configuration position of the added third light source is different from the third position of the first light source 101 and the second light source 102, when the number of light sources is increased to three, an image display layer having three pattern sections is simultaneously matched, that is, a third pattern section with different patterns is additionally provided in addition to the first pattern section 121 and the second pattern section 122 shown in fig. 4 and 5, when a third light beam emitted by the third light source at the third position is incident on the refractive structure layer 13 and forms a third included angle with the reference plane P, since the third included angle is different from the first included angle θ 1 'and the second included angle θ 2' shown in fig. 4 and 5, the incident third light beam is refracted by the refractive structure layer 13 and then guided to the third pattern section of the image display layer, so that the image display layer displays a third image corresponding to the third pattern section.
Furthermore, it is emphasized that in embodiments where the image display device has a plurality of light sources, the number of pattern sections of the image display layer may be larger than the number of light source configurations, provided that in case one of the light sources is movable, the number of pattern sections of the image display layer does not necessarily correspond to the number of light sources.
In summary, in the image display device according to the embodiment of the invention, the angle at which the light beam emitted by the light source enters the refraction structure layer (that is, the included angle between the light beam and the reference plane) is changed by adjusting the relative position between the light source and the refraction structure layer, and the refraction structure layer refracts the light beam entering at different angles and guides the light beam to different pattern sections on the image display layer, so that the image display layer displays different images. In addition, the relative position between the light source and the refractive structure layer is controlled by an input device (such as a touch panel or a key switch) on the electronic equipment to achieve the purpose of displaying different images.
