In order to avoid the optical problem caused by splicing the miniature light-emitting diode lamp panels (12), the splicing seams between the adjacent miniature light-emitting diode lamp panels (12) are smaller as much as possible, and even seamless splicing is realized.
Referring to fig. 2, the micro light emitting diode lamp panel (12) specifically includes: a circuit board 121, micro light emitting diodes 122, a light reflecting layer 123 and an encapsulation layer 124.
The circuit board 121 is located on the back plate 11, and the shape of the circuit board 121 is the same as the overall shape of the micro light emitting diode lamp panel (12). In general, the circuit board 121 has a plate shape, and has a rectangular or square shape as a whole. The length of the circuit board 121 is 200mm-800mm, and the width is 100mm-500 mm.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the Circuit Board 121 may be a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), where the PCB includes an electronic Circuit and an insulating layer, and the insulating layer exposes a pad of the electronic Circuit, on which the micro light emitting diode is soldered, and covers the rest of the electronic Circuit.
Alternatively, the circuit board 121 may also be an array substrate formed by fabricating a thin film transistor driving circuit on a substrate, and the surface of the array substrate has a connection electrode connected to the thin film transistor driving circuit for soldering a micro light emitting diode.
The substrate or base plate of the circuit board 121 may be made of FR4 or glass, or the substrate or base plate of the circuit board 121 may be made of a flexible material to form a flexible display device.

The micro light emitting diode 122 is different from a general light emitting diode, and is specifically referred to as a micro light emitting diode chip. The small size of the micro-leds 122 is advantageous for controlling the dynamic light emission of the backlight module to a smaller sub-area, which is advantageous for improving the contrast of the image. In the present embodiment, the micro-leds 122 have a size of 50 μm to 300 μm.
The micro led lamp panel (12) may include only one color of micro leds 122, or may include multiple colors of micro leds 122, which is not limited herein.
The reflective layer 123 is disposed on a surface of the circuit board 121 near the micro light emitting diodes 122. The reflective layer 123 has the same shape as the circuit board 121, and the reflective layer 123 includes a plurality of openings for exposing the micro light emitting diodes 122.
The reflective layer 123 is a protective layer located above the circuit board, and has functions of protecting the circuit board and diffusely reflecting incident light. In the embodiment of the present invention, the light reflecting layer 123 may be coated on the surface of the circuit board 121 by using a material with light reflecting property such as white oil, and then the position of the pad for soldering the micro light emitting diode 122 is exposed by etching or the like.
The reflective layer 123 reflects light, so that light emitted from the micro led lamp panel 122 can be reflected by the reflective layer 123 to the light emitting side again when being reflected to the back plate side by the elements in the backlight module, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the light source.
The encapsulation layer 124 is located on the surface of the micro light emitting diode 122 facing away from the circuit board 121. The encapsulation layers 124 may be disposed separately from each other or disposed in a single layer. When the two layers are separately arranged, the packaging layer 124 only covers the surface of the micro light-emitting diode 122, and no pattern is arranged in other areas of the circuit board; when the whole layer is disposed, the encapsulation layer 124 covers the whole circuit board 121 and the surface of the micro light emitting diode 122.

Referring to fig. 5, the encapsulation layer 124 may be coated in a row in the direction of the micro light emitting diode row, or, referring to fig. 6, the encapsulation layer 124 may be coated in a row in the direction of the micro light emitting diode column, so that the encapsulation layer 124 has a stripe pattern separated from each other. The encapsulation layer 124 has high encapsulation efficiency by adopting a full-row coating mode, and meanwhile, the material of encapsulation glue can be saved.
The diffuser layer 13 is located on the light exit side of the light source 12. The diffusion layer 13 is provided in a layer, and the shape of the diffusion layer 13 is the same as that of the back sheet 11. The diffusion layer 13 may be provided in a rectangular or square shape in a general case.
The diffusion layer 13 functions to scatter incident light, making the light passing through the diffusion layer 13 more uniform. The diffusion layer 13 is provided with scattering particle materials, and light incident to the scattering particle materials can be refracted and reflected continuously, so that the effect of scattering the light is achieved, and the effect of light uniformization is achieved.
The diffusion layer 13 may take the form of a diffusion plate or a diffusion sheet. If the light source is applied to a large display device such as a television, a diffusion plate can be adopted; and when being applied to small-size display device such as cell-phone, intelligent bracelet, can adopt the diffusion piece.
The thickness of the diffusion plate is larger than that of the diffusion plate, and the thickness of the diffusion plate is 1.5mm-3 mm. The diffusion plate has a higher haze and a better uniformity, and can be processed by an extrusion process, and the diffusion plate is made of at least one material selected from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), Polycarbonate (PC), Polystyrene (PS), and polypropylene (PP).
The diffusion sheet has a thickness of 0.3mm or less, is relatively thin, and is more suitable for small and light display devices. The diffusion sheet is usually prepared by coating diffusion particles on a substrate, and the substrate may be polyethylene terephthalate (PET), glass, or the like, and the diffusion particles may be titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, or the like.
The first functional layer 14 is located on the side of the diffuser layer 13 facing the light source 12. The first functional layer 14 is provided in a layer having the same shape as the diffusion layer 13, and may be provided in a square or rectangular shape in general.
When the light source adopts the micro light-emitting diode lamp panel, the energy distribution of the emergent light of the micro light-emitting diode 122 in the micro light-emitting diode lamp panel meets lambertian distribution, most of the light energy is concentrated in a small angle range right above the emergent light of the micro light-emitting diode 122, so that the right above the micro light-emitting diode 122 is brighter, the junction position of the micro light-emitting diode 122 is darker, and the distribution of the emergent light is uneven.
The first functional layer 14 is used for homogenizing the emergent light of the light source 12, and the first functional layer 14 can reflect the incident small-angle light and transmit the incident large-angle light, so that the small-angle light emitted by the micro light emitting diode is smaller in incident angle when being incident on the first functional layer 14, and most of the light is reflected; the large-angle light emitted from the micro light emitting diode has a large incident angle when entering the first functional layer 14, so that most of the light is transmitted, thereby balancing the brightness difference between the light emitting center and the edge position of the micro light emitting diode 122, and solving the problem that the position right above the micro light emitting diode is too bright and the junction position of the adjacent micro light emitting diodes is too dark. The first functional layer 14 is arranged on the light emitting side of the miniature light emitting diode lamp panel, so that the uniformity of emergent light of the miniature light emitting diode lamp panel can be improved, the using number of the miniature light emitting diodes 122 can be reduced, and the backlight thinning design is realized.
The first functional layer 14 is typically made of a softer polymer material, and the first functional layer 14 may be attached to the surface of the diffusion layer 13 facing the light source 12.
In the embodiment of the present invention, a certain distance needs to be opened between the light source 12 and the diffusion layer 13, so as to ensure that the micro light emitting diodes 122 are fully mixed, thereby ensuring the brightness uniformity of the backlight module.
In order to prevent the diffusion layer 13 from deforming and to maintain the distance between the light source 12 and the diffusion layer 13 to be uniform, a plurality of brackets 15 are provided on the back plate to support the diffusion layer 13.
The brackets 15 are disposed at intervals of the micro light emitting diodes 122 and are uniformly distributed. The bracket 15 is fixed on the back plate by means of a buckle, a screw or an adhesive.
The support 15 is usually made of a light-transmitting material, so that the support 15 can be prevented from blocking the emergent light of the light source.
The material of the support 15 may be a hard material such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), one end of the support 15 close to the diffusion layer 13 is relatively sharp, the first functional layer 14 is disposed on one side of the diffusion layer 13 facing the light source 12, and the material of the first functional layer 14 is relatively soft, so that the tip of the support 15 easily punctures the first functional layer 14, when the diffusion layer 13 moves, the support 15 inevitably scratches the first functional layer 14, which causes the first functional layer 14 to fail to reach a required optical performance, and causes problems such as poor display.
To overcome the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a transparent substrate 16 on the side of the first functional layer 14 facing the light source 12.
The transparent substrate 16 is disposed in a layer, and the size and shape of the transparent substrate 16 are the same as the first functional layer 14, and may be generally square or rectangular.
The transparent substrate 16 may be made of a light-transmitting material having a relatively high transmittance, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or glass.
The transparent substrate 16 is disposed between the first functional layer 14 and the support 15, so that the tip of the support 15 can be prevented from directly contacting the first functional layer 14, and the first functional layer 14 can be prevented from being damaged and scratched. Meanwhile, the transparent substrate 16 can also play a role in supporting the first functional layer 14 and the diffusion layer 13, so that the two sides of the first functional layer 14 are supported by plates, and the reliability is higher.
The transparent substrate 16 is typically a parallel plate having an upper surface adjacent to the first functional layer 14 and a lower surface adjacent to the support 15, and the upper and lower surfaces of the transparent substrate 16 are parallel to each other.
The transparent substrate 16 is made of a transparent material with uniform refraction, the refractive index of the transparent substrate 16 may be different from that of air, the refractive index of the material used for the transparent substrate 16 is generally greater than that of air, and the light emitted from the light source is deflected when entering the transparent substrate 16. However, the transparent substrate 16 does not scatter light, and if both the upper and lower surfaces of the transparent substrate 16 are in contact with air, the propagation direction of the light after passing through the transparent substrate 16 will not change.
When light emitted by the light source enters the transparent substrate 16 from air, the emitting angle is correspondingly reduced, and in order to avoid the problem that the coverage of the light emitted by the micro light-emitting diode is reduced due to the fact that the transparent substrate 16 is too thick, the thickness of the transparent substrate 16 in the embodiment of the invention can be set within the range of 0.3mm-1mm, so that the transparent substrate 16 is guaranteed to have a good supporting effect, and meanwhile, the light diffusion is not influenced.

The wavelength conversion layer 17 includes therein a red light conversion material that is excited to emit red light (620nm to 640nm) under irradiation of blue light and a green light conversion material that is excited to emit green light (520nm to 545nm) under irradiation of blue light. Therefore, the wavelength conversion layer 17 emits red light and green light under excitation of the light emitted from the blue micro-leds, and the blue light, the red light, and the green light are mixed into white light to provide a backlight for the display panel.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the wavelength conversion layer 17 may be a quantum dot layer, and the quantum dot layer includes a red quantum dot material and a green quantum dot material, the red quantum dot material emits red light under excitation of blue light, the green quantum dot material emits green light under excitation of blue light, and the red light and the green light emitted by excitation and the transmitted blue light are mixed to form white light to be emitted.

Referring to fig. 7, the backlight module provided in the embodiment of the present invention further includes: a second functional layer 18.
The second functional layer 18 is located between the wavelength conversion layer 17 and the diffusion layer 13, and the second functional layer 18 is provided in a layer having the same shape as the wavelength conversion layer 17, and may be provided in a square or rectangular shape in general.
The second functional layer 18 is for transmitting the excitation light emitted from the light source 12 and reflecting the excitation light emitted from the wavelength conversion layer 17.
The red light and the green light excited and emitted by the wavelength conversion layer 17 are emitted not only to the light emitting side of the backlight module, but also to the back plate 11 side. In order to improve the utilization rate of the excitation light, the second functional layer 18 is arranged between the wavelength conversion layer 17 and the diffusion layer 13, so that the excitation light emitted from the wavelength conversion layer 17 to one side of the backlight module can be incident on the second functional layer 18, and the second functional layer 18 reflects the part of the excitation light to the light emitting side of the backlight module again, so that the utilization rate of the light is improved.
As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 7, the backlight module according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes: an optical membrane 19 on the side of the wavelength converting layer 17 facing away from the diffusing layer 13.
The optical film 19 is provided in a layer and the shape of the optical film 19 is the same as that of the wavelength conversion layer 17, and may be generally provided in a rectangular shape or a square shape.
The optical film 19 can be disposed to adapt the backlight module to various practical applications.
The optical film 19 may include a prism sheet that can change the exit angle of light, thereby changing the viewable angle of the display device. The prism sheet generally has a function of condensing light rays in a forward viewing angle direction, whereby the forward viewing angle luminance can be improved.

When the light source adopts a micro light emitting diode lamp panel, the first functional layer 14 in the embodiment of the present invention is configured to reflect the small-angle light emitted from the micro light emitting diode 122, transmit the large-angle light emitted from the micro light emitting diode 122, and reduce the reflectivity of the first functional layer 14 to the incident light with the increase of the angle of the incident light.
When the large-angle light emitted by the micro light emitting diode 122 enters the first functional layer 14, the incident angle is large, and most of the light is transmitted by the first functional layer 14; when the small-angle light emitted by the micro light emitting diode 122 enters the first functional layer 14, the incident angle is small, most of the light is reflected by the first functional layer 14, and the reflected light enters the reflective layer on the lamp panel of the micro light emitting diode and then is scattered or diffusely reflected, so that large-angle light can be generated again and reflected to the first functional layer 14 and transmitted by the first functional layer 14. The limited number of reflections can prevent the energy of the light emitted from the micro led 122 from concentrating in a small angle, so that the light emitted from the micro led 122 is relatively uniform.
The first functional layer 14 has a transmittance for incident light of 0 ° to 70 ° that gradually increases in the range of 10% to 90%, and a reflectance for incident light of 70 ° to 90 ° that is less than 10%.
The second functional layer 18 can transmit the small-angle light emitted from the micro light emitting diode lamp panel, and simultaneously reflects the small-angle light emitted from the wavelength conversion layer 17 to the light emitting side of the backlight module. Therefore, the small-angle light emitted by the miniature light-emitting diode lamp panel can be transmitted by the second functional layer 18, a part of small-angle light is emitted to one side of the light source in the light excited by the wavelength conversion layer 17 after being emitted to the wavelength conversion layer 17, and the part of light can be emitted to the second functional layer 18 and is reflected to one side of the light emitting of the backlight module by the second functional layer 18, so that the small-angle light emitted by the miniature light-emitting diode lamp panel and the small-angle light excited by the wavelength conversion layer 17 have good convergence, and the display contrast is improved.
In the present embodiment, the first functional layer 14 and the second functional layer 18 are both provided by using the principle of thin film interference. In specific implementation, each of the first functional layer 14 and the second functional layer 18 includes a plurality of film layers arranged in a stacked manner, and refractive indexes of two adjacent film layers are not equal; wherein, the refractive index and the thickness of the film layer satisfy the condition of film interference.
FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of thin film interference provided by an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 8, when a light ray has an incident angle i, the refractive index n1Is incident on a medium having a refractive index n2On the surface of the film of (2), at n1And n2The interface of the two media reflects and refracts light, the reflecting angle is equal to the incident angle and is still i, and the refracting angle is gamma; when the refracted ray is incident on the lower surface of the film, the reflection and refraction of light can also occur on the lower surface, wherein the reflected ray passes through the upper surface of the film to face the n direction1Refracts in the medium, thereby forming two reflected rays (1) and (2) on the upper and lower surfaces of the film. The optical path difference δ' between the reflected light ray (1) and the reflected light ray (2) is:
Figure BDA0002623893170000131
if the refractive index is n2When the thickness of the film is d and the film has a uniform thickness, the film is formed by
Figure BDA0002623893170000141

Figure BDA0002623893170000143
from the law of refraction it follows:
n1 sini=n2 sinγ;
thus, it is possible to obtain:

as can be seen from the above formula, if the multilayer film structure is provided, the optical path difference of the reflected light of the light on the upper and lower surfaces of each layer of medium is only related to the refractive index, thickness and incident angle of the layer. In practical applications, light is generally incident into the film from an air medium and is reflected on the upper surface and the lower surface of the film, i.e. the refractive index n of the above formula 11, the above formula can therefore be simplified to:
Figure BDA0002623893170000145
according to the principle of film interference, when the optical path difference of the reflected light beams of the upper surface and the lower surface of the film is integral multiple of the wavelength, the two light beams are coherent and long; when the optical path difference of the reflected light rays of the upper surface and the lower surface is odd times of the half wavelength, the two light rays are coherently cancelled. According to the principle of energy conservation, if the reflected light is coherent and long, the energy of the reflected light is enhanced, and the energy of the transmitted light is weakened; if the reflected light is coherently canceled, the energy of the reflected light is diminished, and the energy of the transmitted light is increased.
Applying the above principle to the embodiment of the present invention, an increased incident angle θ is provided for any one of the first functional layer 14 and the second functional layer 181And anti-reflection incident angle theta2Using the above principles, a suitable film material can be selected such that the refractive index and thickness of the film layer satisfy the angle of incidence θ1Increase the reflection of the light ray to the incident angle theta2The light is increased in reflection.
