Description

Backlight module, display device, electronic equipment and packaging method of backlight module
The present application claims priority from the chinese patent application entitled "a Mini LED device and structure thereof" filed by the national intellectual property office at 16/7/2021 under the application number 202110806827.1, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to backlight modules, and particularly to a backlight module, a display device, an electronic apparatus, and a method for packaging the backlight module.
Background
The display panels available on the market are mainly classified into organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs). The OLED displays by utilizing the self-luminous characteristic of each pixel, and the LCD controls whether the backlight output by the backlight module passes or not by the deflection of the liquid crystal, for example, when pure white is displayed, the liquid crystal 'lets' all the backlight; while displaying pure black, the liquid crystal "shades" the backlight. Therefore, the display principles of the two are completely different, the display effect of the LCD is slightly inferior to that of the OLED due to the difference, but the display image quality of the LCD can be greatly improved by the backlight module with high brightness and high contrast, so that the LCD can be compared with the OLED. Meanwhile, LCDs are lower in cost than OLEDs, and are therefore also used in large quantities in the market.
Generally, the LCD uses Mini LEDs as the light source of the backlight module. However, the backlight module using the Mini LED as the backlight source often has the problems of low brightness, low contrast, halo effect and the like, resulting in poor display effect and greatly reducing user experience.
Disclosure of Invention
The application provides a backlight unit and display device for solve the luminance that present Mini LED often appears as backlight unit of backlight at present and hang down, the contrast is low, halo effect scheduling problem, can improve display device's display effect, thereby promote user experience.
In a first aspect, the present application provides a backlight module. The backlight module comprises a substrate and a plurality of Mini LEDs uniformly arranged on the substrate. Wherein, every Mini LED all glues the encapsulation through independent encapsulation, and the encapsulation that arbitrary two Mini LEDs correspond glues the interval setting. A diffusion layer and a light conversion film are sequentially stacked above the encapsulation adhesive along a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the substrate plate surface and extends towards the side where the Mini LED is located. The light output by the Mini LED can be output sequentially through the corresponding packaging adhesive, the diffusion layer and the light conversion film to provide backlight.
In the backlight module, the packaging glue of every two Mini LEDs is arranged at intervals, and air is filled between the packaging glue of every two Mini LEDs. The light reaching the side wall of the packaging glue is transmitted from the packaging glue serving as an optically dense medium to the air serving as an optically sparse medium, so that the light which is possibly totally reflected at the top of the packaging glue originally or is diffused and emitted into the area where the peripheral non-luminous Mini LED is positioned at the top of the packaging glue to cause a halo effect can be gathered to the optical axis of the Mini LED at the side wall of the packaging glue in a way of totally reflecting or deflecting towards the first direction, the halo effect is reduced, and the illuminance above the Mini LED is enhanced. As the intensity of light over the LEDs increases, this means that the greater the luminous flux over the Mini LED, the greater the light density, and thus the greater the uniformity of the intensity of light over the Mini LED, the greater the half intensity angle. With the increase of the half-intensity angle, the smaller the height of the Mini LED in the first direction required for achieving the illumination uniformity of the specific specification, the thinner the required backlight module is, and the thinner the display device is.
It should be understood that with the reduction of the halo effect, the area where the surrounding non-light-emitting Mini LED is located is not easily "lighted" by the light output by the light-emitting Mini LED, so that the area where the light-emitting Mini LED is located and the area where the non-light-emitting Mini LED is located can form a larger contrast, resulting in a high contrast. In addition, the side wall of the packaging adhesive totally reflects the large-angle light output by the Mini LED edge to the top of the packaging adhesive, so that the light gathering is increased, and the brightness of the backlight module can be improved.
In one possible design, the encapsulant is attached to the diffusion layer. When the packaging adhesive and the diffusion layer are attached, no air exists between the packaging adhesive and the diffusion layer. In this case, the light emitted from the top of the encapsulant directly enters the diffusion layer without entering the air first and then entering the diffusion layer by refraction of the air. Because the refracting index of diffusion layer is greater than the refracting index of air, consequently, compare in the light that gets into the air from the encapsulation top of gluing, from the light that the encapsulation glued top directly reaches the diffusion layer, be closer to first direction, the light of exporting from the encapsulation top of gluing more assembles towards the center. In this way, the incident angle of the light reaching the diffusion layer is reduced, so that total reflection is less likely to occur, and the light collected toward the center is further away from the surrounding other non-emitting Mini LEDs.
Optionally, the refractive index of the encapsulation glue is smaller than the refractive index of the diffusion layer. In this case, the encapsulant is an optically thinner medium, and the diffusion layer is an optically denser medium. According to the definition of total reflection, the light is totally reflected when the light is incident from the optically dense medium to the optically sparse medium, and the light is not totally reflected when the light is incident from the optically sparse medium to the optically dense medium. Based on this, the light that incides to the encapsulation glue top will not take place the total reflection, but all refracts away through the diffusion barrier to reduced the emergence of total emission phenomenon, increased the transmission ratio (promptly the emergence efficiency) of light. In addition, since the light is emitted into the diffusion layer as the optically dense medium from the packaging adhesive as the optically sparse medium, the emitting angle of the light output from the top of the packaging adhesive can be reduced, in other words, the light output from the top of the packaging adhesive to the diffusion layer is gathered in the first direction instead of being diffused in the second direction, so that the phenomenon that the area where the surrounding non-luminous Mini LED is located is turned on due to light diffusion can be avoided, and further, the halo effect can be reduced.
Optionally, the width of the encapsulation glue in the second direction satisfies the following relation: l is2<L1+2h*tan(arcsin(n2/n1). Wherein L is2The width of the packaging adhesive in the second direction; l is1The width of the Mini LED corresponding to the packaging glue in the second direction; h is a sealThe glue is filled in the first direction and is higher than the corresponding height of the Mini LED; n is2Is the refractive index of the diffusion layer; n is1Is the refractive index of the encapsulant. The second direction is the arrangement direction of the Mini LEDs. When L is2<L1+2h*tan(arcsin(n2/n1) And when the light enters the diffusion layer from the top of the packaging adhesive, the width of the packaging layer is smaller than the total reflection occurrence position corresponding to the total reflection critical angle of the light incident to the diffusion layer from the top of the packaging adhesive. In this case, the incident angles of all the light rays incident on the top of the encapsulant will not exceed the critical angle of total reflection, so that the halo effect caused by the incident light rays with large incident angles on the top of the encapsulant and the emergent light rays with large emergent angles on the top of the encapsulant can be reduced.
In another possible embodiment, the encapsulation adhesive and the diffusion layer are arranged at intervals. A partition plate unit is connected between two adjacent packaging glues in the second direction, and the second direction is the arrangement direction of the Mini LEDs. The two adjacent packaging glues are a first packaging glue and a second packaging glue respectively. The partition board unit is provided with a first board surface facing the first packaging glue and a second board surface facing the second packaging glue. The first plate surface and the second plate surface have a light reflection function. The first packaging adhesive and the first board surface are arranged at intervals, and the second packaging adhesive and the second board surface are arranged at intervals. When the packaging adhesive and the diffusion layer are arranged at intervals, air exists between the packaging adhesive and the diffusion layer. Under the condition, light rays emitted from the top of the packaging adhesive firstly enter air, and then enter the diffusion layer after being diffused outwards (in the direction away from the optical axis of the Mini LED) through the air, so that the light rays in the central area of the Mini LED are diffused outwards, and the backlight module achieves better illumination uniformity. The larger the illuminance uniformity and the larger the half-intensity angle, the smaller the height of the Mini LED in the first direction required for reaching the illuminance uniformity of a specific specification, the thinner the required backlight module and the thinner the display device.
It should be understood that light that diffuses through the air is farther away from first direction, takes place the total reflection more easily or gets into the region at the position of the luminous Mini LED of periphery, causes the halo effect, and based on this, separate two adjacent encapsulation glues respectively through the first face and the second face of baffle unit, can avoid the mutual crosstalk of the light that different encapsulation glues transmitted to alleviate the halo effect when giving consideration to the illuminance uniformity. In some embodiments, a grid is disposed between the substrate and the diffusion layer. The grid has a plurality of grids. The individual encapsulant is surrounded by a grid wall of the individual grid, and the grid wall is a partition unit. The grid of grid has four grid wall bodies, therefore, when two adjacent encapsulating glues are located two adjacent grids respectively, the grid wall body of grid can enclose the encapsulating glue completely to can separate two adjacent encapsulating glues completely, thereby can avoid two adjacent encapsulating glues light that transmit to cross talk each other, arouse the halo effect.
In some embodiments, the spacer unit has a thickness in the second direction. The thickness of the separator units becomes gradually larger in the first direction. That is, the thickness of the grid wall gradually decreases from the end far from the substrate to the end near the substrate, and the grid wall has a structure with a wide top and a narrow bottom. Thus, light rays which may pass through the grid wall body are shielded and reflected by the extended part of the grid wall body through widening, so that the light rays cannot enter the surrounding non-luminous Mini LED, and the halo effect can be reduced.
Optionally, one end of the separator unit near the diffusion layer has a slope. The inclined surface is gradually close to the center line of the partition unit along the first direction. On one hand, the area of the top of the grid wall body, namely the area without light output can be reduced, so that the area of a black ring can be reduced, and the halo effect can be reduced; on the other hand, the light rays which are originally blocked and reflected by the grid wall body are incident to the top of the grid from the inclined plane, and the halo effect of the part caused by no light ray is compensated.
In other possible design schemes, an arc-shaped groove is formed in one side, close to the diffusion layer, of the packaging adhesive. After reaching the arc-shaped groove, the light output by the Mini LED is far away from the first direction deflection at the arc-shaped groove, so that the light is diffused towards the two sides of the optical axis, and the uniformity of illumination is further improved.
In other possible designs, the sidewall of the encapsulation glue gradually approaches the optical axis of the Mini LED corresponding to the encapsulation glue along the first direction. The side wall of the packaging adhesive refers to the top of the packaging adhesive except the top and the bottom of the packaging adhesive, and the top of the packaging adhesive refers to the side of the packaging adhesive close to the diffusion layer. The bottom of the packaging adhesive refers to the side of the packaging adhesive far away from the diffusion layer. That is, the side wall of the package glue is inclined towards the optical axis along the first direction to form a trapezoid side wall. Through inclining the packaging adhesive side wall to the optical axis, the normal line of the interface of the packaging adhesive side wall and the air can be deflected anticlockwise, and therefore the same light reaching the packaging adhesive side wall can be deflected towards the first direction finally. It should be understood that the light incident on the side wall of the package glue is substantially the high angle light from the edge of the Mini LED, and therefore, the trapezoidal side wall has the effect of making the high angle light from the edge of the Mini LED more convergent, further reducing the halo effect. In addition, after the light is deflected by the trapezoid side wall, the light can finally directly irradiate the gap between the grid wall body and the packaging adhesive, so that the brightness of the gap between the grid wall body and the packaging adhesive is improved, the light does not irradiate the grid wall body, and the area surrounded by the grid wall body is equivalent to a large-area uniform light source.
Optionally, the diffusion layer includes a diffusion plate, a diffusion film, and a brightness enhancement film stacked in the first direction. In other embodiments, the diffusion layer may also be a single-layer composite film, for example, a three-in-one film having the functions of a diffusion plate, a diffusion film, and a brightness enhancement film, so as to reduce the thickness of the backlight module.
In a second aspect, the present application further provides a display device. The display device includes: the display device comprises a display panel and the backlight module according to any one of the first aspect, wherein the display panel is stacked, and the backlight module is used for providing backlight for the display panel.

Detailed Description
First, technical terms related to embodiments of the present application are described.
(1) Encapsulation glue top, bottom and side walls
The top of the packaging adhesive refers to one side of the packaging adhesive, which is far away from the substrate; the bottom of the packaging adhesive refers to one side of the packaging adhesive close to the substrate; the area of the packaging adhesive except the top and the bottom of the packaging adhesive is the side wall of the packaging adhesive.
(2) Optically thinner medium and optically denser medium
For both media, the medium with the higher refractive index (in which light propagates at a slower rate) is called optically denser medium, and the medium with the lower refractive index (in which light propagates at a faster rate) is called optically thinner medium.
It is understood that optically dense media is opposed to optically thinner media. For example, water is an optically dense medium with respect to air, but is an optically sparse medium with respect to glass.
(3) Angle of incidence and angle of refraction
The incident angle refers to the included angle between the incident light and the normal; the refraction angle refers to the angle between the refracted ray and the normal.
(4) The refraction of light refers to a phenomenon that when light obliquely enters another medium from one medium, the propagation direction is changed, so that the light is deflected at the interface of different media.
The deflection directions and angles of the light at the interfaces formed by different media are different. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 1 (a), when light is obliquely incident from the optically dense medium into the optically thinner medium, the refracted light ray is located between the imaginary line (i.e., the extension line of the incident light ray) and the interface, and is closer to the interface than to the normal, which means that the refracted light ray is deflected toward the direction in which the interface is located (or toward the direction away from the normal), and the incident angle θGo intoLess than angle of refraction thetaFolding device(ii) a As shown in fig. 1 (b), when light enters the optically denser medium from the optically thinner medium, the refracted light ray is located between the imaginary line (i.e., the extension of the incident light ray) and the normal line, and is closer to the normal line than the interface, which means that the refracted light ray is deflected in the direction of the normal line (or in the direction away from the interface), and the incident angle θIntoGreater than angle of refraction thetaFolding device
(5) The reflection of light refers to the phenomenon that when light irradiates on the interface of two different media, the propagation direction is changed on the interface and the light returns to the original medium.
(6) Total reflection, also known as Total Internal Reflection (TIR), is a reflection phenomenon of light and occurs only when light enters a scene from an optically dense medium to an optically sparse medium. When light enters the optically thinner medium from the optically denser medium, if the incident angle is larger than the critical angle of total reflection, the refracted light will disappear, and all incident light will be reflected back to the optically denser medium without entering the optically thinner medium, which is called the total reflection phenomenon. Therefore, when the total reflection phenomenon occurs, the refraction phenomenon does not exist, and only the reflection phenomenon exists.
Illustratively, as shown in (a) of fig. 2, when an incident angle θ of an incident light ray is formedIntoLess than critical angle of total reflection thetaFaceWhen the light is incident, refraction and reflection occur simultaneously; as shown in fig. 2 (b), as the incident angle θ is gradually increasedIntoWhen the light is refracted, the light is farther from the normal line and weaker (the thicker the line is, the stronger the light is represented; the thinner the line is, the weaker the light is represented), and the reflected light is stronger; as shown in (c) of fig. 2, when the incident angle θIntoGreater than or equal to the critical angle of total reflection thetaFaceThe refracted light will disappear and total reflection will occur.
In fig. 2, (c) is taken as an example, and the refractive index of the optically denser medium is assumed to be n1Refractive index of the optically thinner medium is n2Incident angle of theta1Angle of refraction theta2Then, the critical angle of total reflection θFace=arcsin(n2/n1). From critical angle of total reflection thetaFace=arcsin(n2/n1) It can be seen that n1The smaller, thetaFaceThe larger; n is2The larger, θFaceThe larger. That is, n is different between the optically thinner medium and the optically denser medium into which the light passes1And n2Will also differ, the critical angle of total reflection thetaFaceAlso different. For convenience of illustration, in the embodiment of the present application, the critical angle θ of total reflection is defined asMedicine for treating 1Representing the critical angle of total reflection, theta, of light incident into air from the side wall of the packaging adhesiveMedicine 2Representing the critical angle of total reflection of light incident on the diffusion layer (or diffusion plate) from the top of the packaging adhesiveMedicine 3Representing the critical angle of total reflection, theta, of light incident into air from the top of the packaging adhesiveFace 4Representing the critical angle of total reflection of light incident into air from the diffusion layer, the critical angle of total reflection thetaFace 5Representing the critical angle of total reflection of light incident on the substrate from the bottom of the package glue.

(7) Critical line of total reflection
In the embodiment of the present application, the critical line of total reflection refers to an incident light ray corresponding to the critical angle of total reflection. The included angle between the critical line of total reflection and the normal is the critical angle of total reflection.
(8) Halo effect
When a bright object is displayed, a bright or black aperture having a luminance difference from that of the bright object appears around the bright object.
The display panels available on the market are mainly classified into OLED and LCD. The OLED displays by utilizing the self-luminous characteristic of each pixel, and the LCD controls whether the backlight output by the backlight module passes or not by the deflection of the liquid crystal, for example, when pure white is displayed, the liquid crystal 'lets' all the backlight; while displaying pure black, the liquid crystal "shades" the backlight. Therefore, the display principles of the two are completely different, the display effect of the LCD is slightly inferior to that of the OLED due to the difference, but the display image quality of the LCD can be greatly improved by the backlight module with high brightness and high contrast, so that the LCD can be compared with the OLED. Meanwhile, LCDs are lower in cost than OLEDs, and are therefore also used in large quantities in the market.
Generally, the LCD uses Mini LEDs as the light source of the backlight module. The Mini LED is an LED chip with the size of 100 μm, and the size of the Mini LED is between that of a small-pitch LED and that of a Micro LED, and is a result of further refinement of the small-pitch LED. The small-distance LED refers to an LED backlight source or a display product with the distance between adjacent lamp bead points being less than 2.5 millimeters. The Mini LED currently defined in the industry refers to an LED die with a size of 50-100 μm (micrometer), and an LED die with a size of 30 μm or less is called a Micro LED (also called a Micro light emitting diode). However, at present, the Mini LED (except for being listed separately, the Mini LED is referred to as LED for short in the following) is used as the backlight module of the backlight source, and the problems of low brightness, low contrast, halo effect and the like often occur, so that the display effect is poor, and the user experience is greatly reduced.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a backlight module according to a possible design scheme. The backlight module comprises a substrate 1 and a plurality of LEDs 2 arranged on the substrate 1 in an array mode. It should be understood that fig. 3 illustrates only three LEDs 2, but this illustration should not be construed as a particular limitation on the number of LEDs 2.
For convenience of the following description, X is established on FIG. 31Z1Coordinate system, X1The direction is the arrangement direction of the LEDs 2 and is parallel to the surface of the substrate 1, Z1The direction is perpendicular to the substrate plate surface and extends from the substrate plate surface toward the LEDs 2. It should be noted that if the LEDs 2 are arranged in a plurality of arrangement directions, X1The direction is any of a plurality of arrangement directions. For example, if the Mini LEDs are uniformly arranged on the substrate surface along the row direction and the column direction, X1In the direction ofAny one of a row direction and a column direction. For convenience of illustration, the backlight module shown in FIG. 3 has a line X1The first LED2 and the second LED2 in the direction are luminous LEDs along the X1The third LED2 of the direction is a non-emitting LED.
In order to realize light mixing, the backlight module adopts a whole piece of packaging adhesive 3 to cover a plurality of LEDs 2 together so as to package all the LEDs 2 in a whole surface manner. As can be seen from fig. 3, the encapsulation compound 3 covers not only the individual LEDs 2 themselves, but also the gaps between two LEDs 2. In order to enhance the display effect, a diffusion plate 41, a diffusion film 42, a brightness enhancement film 43, and a light conversion film 5 are further laminated on the sealing adhesive 3 in this order. The diffusion plate 41 and the diffusion film 42 diffuse light by fine particles on the optical film. The brightness enhancement film 43 reflects and refracts light by a micro-stripe (grating) structure formed on the optical film material, thereby redistributing the light. The light conversion film 5 converts the blue light emitted by the LED2 into red light, green light, blue light, and white light through the red quantum dots and the green quantum dots on the optical film material.
It should be noted that, referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the refractive indexes of the extended plate 41 and the substrate 1 are both smaller than the refractive index of the package adhesive 3. In this case, the monolithic structure of the encapsulant 3 would be equivalent to a waveguide, resulting in exceeding the critical angle θ of total reflectionMedicine 2And critical angle of total reflection thetaFace 5The incident light (i.e. the light with large angle output by the LED2) is totally reflected and propagated in the structure of the packaging adhesive 3. Illustratively, ray A1Will be totally reflected at the interface M, passing through the light ray A2Reflecting to an interface N; light ray A2Totally reflecting at interface N and passing through light ray A3Reflected to the interface M and then totally reflected at the interface M, so that the light is totally reflected between the interface M and the interface N in a reciprocating cycle, is constrained in the packaging adhesive 3, is totally reflected and transmitted, and is transmitted to the non-luminous LED2 (for example, along the X direction)1The third LED2) in the direction, the bright color appears in the area where the non-emitting LED2 is located, which is darker than the emitting LED2, thereby producing the halo effect described above.
Furthermore, in some embodimentsIn order to improve the light mixing effect, the above-mentioned encapsulant 3 for the entire surface package is usually doped with a large amount of scattering particles, which makes the refractive index of the encapsulant 3 as an optically dense medium too large. According to the critical angle theta of total reflectionFace=arcsin(n2/n1) It can be seen that the refractive index n of the optically denser medium1Too large, will result in a critical angle of total reflection θFaceAnd decrease. The critical angle of total reflection is reduced, which will cause the halo effect to be more serious, and the specific analysis is as follows:
referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a comparison diagram of light action areas of the backlight module under different critical lines of total reflection. Light ray B1、B2、B3Three distinct critical lines of total reflection. Critical line of total reflection B1Corresponding critical angle of total reflection<Critical line of total reflection B2Corresponding critical angle of total reflection<Critical line of total reflection B3Corresponding critical angle of total reflection. Wherein the critical line of total reflection B1、B2、B3The incident points at the division plane M are respectively b1、b2、b3. The incident points of the light ray A, C, D at the boundary surface M are a, c, and d, respectively. It should be understood that the ray A is the beam center line of the LED2, and only the ray A is directed to X1The directionally extending regions illustrate the light active areas (i.e., the active areas of the diffuser plate 41 where backlight may be provided).
When the critical line for total reflection is located at B, as shown in FIG. 4 (a)1When the incident angle of the light ray A does not exceed the critical angle theta of total reflectionMedicine 2The light ray a will be transmitted at the interface M. And the incident angles of light ray C, D all exceed the critical angle for total reflection thetaMedicine 2The light ray C, D will be totally reflected at the interface M and then be obliquely incident to the position e at the interface N and the position f at the LED2, respectively.
When the critical line for total reflection is located at B, as shown in FIG. 4 (B)2When, unlike (a) in fig. 4, the incident angle of the light ray C does not exceed the critical angle θ of total reflectionMedicine 2And the incident angle of the light ray D exceeds the critical angle theta of total reflectionMedicine 2. Based on this, the light C will be refracted at the interface M, and the light D will be totally reflected at the interface M and then obliquely incident onPosition f at LED 2.
When the critical line of total reflection is located at B, as shown in FIG. 4 (c)3In contrast to fig. 4 (b), the incident angle of light ray C, D does not exceed the critical angle for total reflection θMedicine 2Ray C, D will be refracted at interface M.
It should be understood that only the light transmitted through the extended plate 41 can provide effective backlight and forms an effective area (i.e. light action area) of the backlight on the extended plate 41, and the light with total reflection is not transmitted through the extended plate 41 and cannot serve the purpose of backlight, and this part of light is lost to the backlight module. Based on this, in (a) in fig. 4, rays a to B1The light between is transmitted out of the diffuser plate 41, light B1The light rays emitted to the edge of the LED2 (hereinafter referred to as edge light rays) are totally reflected. Thus, the light-acting regions of the LED2 are a to b1. In fig. 4 (B), without considering the case of being blocked by the adjacent pixel points, the light rays a to B2The light between is transmitted out of the diffuser plate 41, light B2The light rays to the edge are totally reflected, and thus the light action area of the LED2 is a to b2. In fig. 4 (c), without considering the case of being blocked by the adjacent pixel points, the light rays a to B3Is transmitted out of the diffuser plate 41, light B3The light rays to the edge are totally reflected, and thus the light action area of the LED2 is a to b3
From the above, the critical angle of total reflection θ is closer to the normal line (i.e., the line where the light ray a is located) as the critical line of total reflection is closer to the normal lineMedicine 2The smaller the light output from the LED2, the less light will be transmitted through the diffuser plate 41 to be effectively used as a backlight, and the more light will be lost due to total reflection, so that the light action area of the LED2 is smaller, and the transmission ratio of light (the percentage of the light transmitted through the diffuser plate 41 to all the light emitted from the LED2, which may also be referred to as the extraction efficiency) will be lower. In short, the critical angle of total reflection θMedicine 2The reduction reduces the light emission efficiency and increases the total reflection phenomenon. It will be appreciated from an analysis of FIG. 3 that the halo effect is related to the total reflection phenomenon of the light, which follows the total reflection phenomenonThe halo effect becomes more severe as the reflection phenomenon increases. Therefore, in the backlight module shown in fig. 3, the packaging adhesive 3 doped with more scattering particles has a critical angle θ due to total reflectionMedicine 2Becoming smaller will exacerbate the halo effect described above.
It should be noted that fig. 3 illustrates a principle that the occurrence of total reflection may cause a halo effect, taking the package adhesive 3 as an optically dense medium and the diffuser plate 41 as an optically sparse medium as an example. It should be understood that in other embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the packaging adhesive 3 may also be an optically thinner medium, and the expansion plate 41 may also be an optically denser medium. In this case, although the light emitted from the LED2 is transmitted from the optically thinner medium to the optically denser medium without total reflection, the light with a large angle (for example, the light C) output from the edge region of the LED21) Possibly by refracting light rays at the interface M (e.g. ray C)2) Refracted to surrounding non-emitting LEDs 2 (e.g., along X)1The area directly opposite to the third LED2 in the direction) is opposite to the area of the extended plate 41, which also causes the area where the non-luminous LED2 is located to appear bright, thereby generating the halo effect.
In summary, the high-angle light output by the LED2 can "light up" the area where the surrounding non-light emitting LED2 is located by means of total reflection at the top of the encapsulation adhesive 3 and diffusion at the top of the encapsulation adhesive 3 into the area where the surrounding non-light emitting LED2 is located, thereby inducing a halo effect. It will be appreciated that the presence of the halo effect causes the area in which the non-emitting LED2 is located to be "lit" by the light output from the emitting LED2, thereby causing the emitting LED2 to emit light (e.g. along X)1Second LED2 in the direction) and non-emitting LEDs 2 (e.g., along X)1The third LED2) in the direction cannot form a large contrast in the region, so that the backlight module has the problem of low contrast.
In addition, referring to fig. 3, the light in the central region of the LED2 does not exceed the critical angle θ of total reflectionMedicine 2Refraction will occur at the interface M so that the transmitted light exits the diffuser plate 41 to provide backlighting. The light ray in the edge region of the LED2 exceeds the critical angle theta of total reflectionMedicine 2The light is totally reflected and propagated at the interface M, is confined in the packaging adhesive 3, and cannot be transmitted through the expansion plate 41And (4) loss. Therefore, the backlight module has high illuminance at the position facing the central area of the LED2, and has low illuminance at the position facing the edge area of the LED2, so that the backlight module has the problem of uneven illuminance. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a backlight module in another possible implementation manner to solve the problem of uneven illuminance. Different from the backlight module shown in fig. 3, the light shielding structure 6 is further superimposed on the position of the packaging adhesive 3 facing the central area of the LED2 to shield and reflect light in the central area of the LED2, so as to weaken the illuminance in the central area of the LED2, and make the illuminance in the central area and the illuminance in the edge area of the LED2 equal. However, the light shielding structure 6 will reduce the light emitting efficiency of the LED2, so that the bright point (the area directly opposite to the LED2 emitting light, such as along X) of the backlight module1The area directly opposite the second LED2 in the direction) presents a problem of low brightness. Moreover, the bright spots of the backlight module cannot be aligned with the dark spots (the areas opposite to the non-luminous LED2, such as along X)1The area directly opposite to the third LED2 in the direction) forms a larger contrast, which will aggravate the problem of low contrast of the backlight module.
In order to solve the problems of halo effect, low brightness, low contrast ratio and the like of the backlight module, the application provides an improved backlight module. The backlight module can be applied to a display device with a Mini LED2 as a backlight source, so that the display effect of the display device is improved, and the visual experience of a user is improved. The display device can be a device with an LCD display panel, such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a PC, a display, a white board, a large-screen terminal, an intelligent watch and the like, and the embodiment of the application has no special limitation on the specific form of the electronic equipment.
The backlight module provided by the embodiment of the present application will be specifically described below with reference to fig. 7 to 25.
Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a backlight module according to some embodiments of the present application. The backlight module comprises a substrate 1 and a plurality of LEDs 2 arrayed on the substrate 1. The LED2 is used as a light source of the backlight module and used for outputting light. The substrate 1 is used for laying metal traces that are used to electrically connect devices on the substrate 1, such as the LEDs 2, or other devices on the substrate 1. Alternatively, the routing on the substrate 1 may be implemented by etching or the like.
Different from fig. 3, in the backlight module shown in fig. 7, each LED2 is packaged with an independent packaging adhesive 3, and any two packaging adhesives 3 for packaging the LEDs 2 are arranged at intervals. Illustratively, along X1A space is kept between the first packaging adhesive 3 and the second packaging adhesive 3 in the direction. In some embodiments, in order to form the independent packaging adhesive 3 on the LED2, please refer to fig. 8, first, the steel net 7A (i.e. the first steel net) shown in fig. 8 (a) is designed. As shown in fig. 8 (a), the steel net 7A includes the open regions 71A and the non-open regions 72A alternately arranged, in other words, the non-open regions 72A and the open regions 71A are arranged in a sort of xyyx … … (X is the non-open region 72A, Y is the open region 71A). Wherein, the open pore area 71A has a cavity (i.e. a first cavity) and an opening (i.e. a first opening) capable of pouring the encapsulation glue into the cavity; two pairs of the open areas 71A are separated by a non-open area 72A. After obtaining the steel net 7A shown in fig. 8 (a), as shown in fig. 8 (b), the steel net 7A shown in fig. 8 (a) may be laid over the substrate 1 with the open area 71A aligned with the area where the LEDs 2 are located and the non-open area 72A aligned with the gap between two LEDs 2. Then, the encapsulation glue is injected into the cavity, i.e., the hole site where the LED2 is located, from the opening of the open-cell area 71A by means of dispensing, spraying, brushing, and the like. Due to the existence of the non-opening area 72A, the packaging glue solution is only injected into the area where the LEDs 2 are located, and is not injected into the gap area between every two LEDs 2, so that the independent packaging glue 3 can be formed. And finally, curing is carried out, and independent packaging glue 3 is formed on the LED2, so that the LED2 is packaged.
Referring to fig. 7, to enhance the display effect, the upper edge Z of the packaging adhesive 31The diffusion layer 4 and the light conversion film 5 are stacked in this order. Therefore, the light output by the LED2 sequentially transmits through the corresponding encapsulation adhesive 3 and the diffusion layer 4, enters the light conversion film 5, and is converted by the light conversion film 5 to output usable backlight. In some embodiments, the diffusion layer 4 may include a zone along Z1 A diffusion plate 41, a diffusion film 42, and a brightness enhancement film 43 stacked in this order. In other embodiments, the diffuser layer 4 may include more or less optical films.For example, the diffusion layer 4 may include a zone along Z1A lower diffusion film, an upper diffusion film, a lower brightness enhancement film and an upper brightness enhancement film which are sequentially stacked in the direction; as another example, the diffusion layer 4 may also include a zone Z1The light filter film, the lower diffusion film, the upper diffusion film, and the brightness enhancement film are sequentially stacked in the direction, and the specific structure of the diffusion layer 4 is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.
It should be noted that, the encapsulation glue 3 of two LEDs 2 are arranged at intervals, which means that the area between the sidewalls of two encapsulation glues 3 is air. Since the refractive index of the air is smaller than that of the packaging adhesive 3, when the high-angle light output by the LED2 enters the air from the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3, the light enters the optically denser medium to the optically thinner medium. In this case, there will be both the total reflection and refraction transmission of the light incident on the side wall of the package adhesive 3, which will be described below with reference to fig. 9 and 12 (fig. 9 and 12 are partial enlarged views of the region E1 in fig. 7).
In the first case, referring to fig. 9, to better show the propagation path of the light, compared to the area E1 in fig. 7, fig. 9 omits the light refracted at the top of the encapsulant 3 and the sidewall of the encapsulant 3, and only the light totally reflected at the sidewall of the encapsulant 3 is remained.
As shown in fig. 9 (a), the critical angle of total reflection θ is exceededMedicine for treating 1Light ray A of1Will be totally emitted after reaching the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 and will pass through the light ray A2Reflecting on top of the encapsulating glue 3. The dotted line with an arrow in the figure indicates the ray A1Directly from the packaging adhesive 3 to the diffusion layer 4 and through the light ray A after reaching the diffusion layer 43The total reflection situation, i.e. the light ray A is illustrated when the packaging adhesive 3 has the structure shown in FIG. 31The transmission path of (1). Visible, light ray A1In the structure shown in fig. 3 total reflection will occur at the top of the encapsulation glue 3.
Through comparison, the existence of air between the packaging glue 3 of every two LEDs 2 can be found, so that the light A which is originally emitted completely at the top of the packaging glue 3 can be obtained1The side wall of the encapsulated glue 3 is totally reflected to the top of the encapsulated glue 3, thereby reducing the light ray A1Halo effect due to occurrence of total reflection, and is effectiveUtilizes the light ray A1The illuminance above the LED2 is enhanced, and the light emission efficiency is improved.
In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 9 (b), the light ray a is different from fig. 9 (a)1The direct incidence of light from the encapsulating glue 3 into the diffusion layer 4 may not result in full emission, but rather in the passage of the light ray a4Refracts into the diffusion layer 4. It should be understood that ray A4There is a possibility of entering the area of the extended plate 41 directly opposite to the surrounding non-emitting LED2 (e.g. ray C in FIG. 5)2). In this case, the presence of air between the encapsulating glue 3 of two LEDs 2 makes it possible to make the light ray a1Is totally reflected to the top of the packaging adhesive 3 by the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 and approaches to the optical axis of the LED2, so as to avoid the light ray A4The possibility of entering the area of the extended plate 41 directly opposite to the surrounding non-luminous LED2 reduces the halo effect.
It should be noted that, in the backlight module, the ideal uniform illumination means that the minimum system thickness or the maximum LED2 pitch is used for the LED2 array on the premise that no perceptible non-uniform illumination occurs, so that the backlight module can be thinned and the number of LEDs 2 can be reduced on the premise that uniform illumination is ensured. The increase of the illuminance above the LED2 can make the height required for the illuminance to reach the illuminance uniformity of the specific specification smaller, so that the thinner the thickness of the backlight module is, the thinner the thickness of the display panel is, and the following detailed analysis is performed with reference to fig. 10 and 11.
The single LED2 is generally a generalized Lambertian light source with a light intensity distribution curve Iθ=IocosmTheta. Wherein, IoThe intensity of the light rays in the center of the LED2 (i.e., the light rays along the optical axis); i isθM is the intensity of light rays with an angle theta to the optical axis and can be measured by the half intensity angle theta of the LED21/2And (4) determining. Referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a diagram of an illumination model of an LED according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The optical axis refers to the center line of all the light rays emitted from the LED 2. The angle formed by the boundary lines of the regions to which the light rays can be irradiated when viewed from the optical axis plane perpendicular to the optical axis is the beam angle. The beam angle of the LED2 is generally defined as: light intensity of the optical axis Io50% of (I) light intensity Io/2The angle formed by the boundary line of the area irradiated by the light ray. The half light intensity angle theta1/2Means that the light intensity is Io/2The angle between the light ray and the optical axis. As can be seen from fig. 10, when θ ═ θ1/2When, Iθ=Io/2=0.5Io. Based thereon, according to Iθ=Iocosmθ is derived as m ═ ln2/[ ln (cos θ)1/2)]. Visible, half intensity angle θ1/2The larger, the smaller m; half intensity angle theta1/2The smaller, the larger m. It should be noted that the more concentrated the light output from the LED2 is, the half-intensity angle θ1/2The smaller, the larger m; the more uniform the light output by the LED2, the half intensity angle theta1/2The larger, the smaller m.
Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a comparison graph of two optical axis planes with the same illuminance uniformity according to an embodiment of the present application. For convenience of the following description, taking as an example a rectangular parallelepiped in which the shape of the LED2 shown in fig. 11 is flat (wide flat and thin structure), O — X is established on the LED2 shown in fig. 112Y2Z2A coordinate system. Wherein the origin O is at the geometric center of the LED2, X2Y2The surface being perpendicular to the optical axis of the LED2, Z2Oriented parallel to the optical axis of the LED2, X2The direction is parallel to the long side of the LED2 board surface, Y2The direction is parallel to the short side of the plate surface of the LED 2. The flat cuboid resembles a "plate" and thus has a plate surface. The plate surface of the LED2 is a surface perpendicular to the optical axis of the LED 2. It is understood that X2Direction, Y2The directions may be parallel to the short and long sides of the surface of the LED 2. It will also be appreciated that in other embodiments the shape of the LED2 may be other shapes, for example a cylinder with a circular face, in which case X2Direction and Y2The directions are vertical and all extend along the circular radial direction. As another example, the plate surface is a rectangular parallelepiped, in which case X2Direction, Y2The directions respectively extend along one adjacent side of the square, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.
The illuminance distribution at any point (x, y, z) on the optical axis plane is
Figure BDA0003235106230000111
Wherein L is LED2 at X2The length of the direction; w is LED2 at Y2The width of the direction; h is LED2 at Z2The height of the direction; x is the point on the optical axis plane and the O point of the LED2 in X2The distance in the direction of Y is the distance Y between the point on the optical axis plane and the point O of the LED22The distance in the direction Z is the distance between the point on the optical axis plane and the point O of the LED2 in the direction Z2The pitch of the directions. Referring to fig. 11, optical axis plane a and optical axis plane B are two optical axis planes with the same illuminance uniformity. It should be noted that illuminance uniformity refers to the ratio of the minimum illuminance to the average illuminance on the illuminated surface. The more uniform the light distribution, the higher the uniformity of the illumination, and the closer the illumination E (x, y, z) across the optical axis plane. As can be seen by comparing (a) and (B) in fig. 11, the same LEDs 2 achieve the same illuminance uniformity on the optical axis plane a and the optical axis plane B, respectively, and the half intensity angle θ of the LED2 shown in (a) in fig. 111/2Larger than half light intensity angle theta of LED2 shown in (b) of FIG. 111/2That is, m of the LED2 shown in FIG. 11 (a) is smaller than m of the LED2 shown in FIG. 11 (b), but each point on the optical axis plane A and the point O are at Z2The spacing in the direction (i.e. Z) is greater than the Z distance between each point on the optical axis plane B and the point O2The directional pitch, i.e. the illumination of the individual LEDs 2 at the optical axis plane, achieves the same illumination uniformity, the smaller m, the smaller the required height z.
In summary, in the backlight module shown in fig. 7, when the illuminance above the LED2 is increased, it means that the stronger the luminous flux above the LED2 is, the higher the light density is, and the more uniform the illuminance above the LED2 is. From the analysis of fig. 10, it can be seen that the more concentrated the light output from the LED2 is, the more the half-intensity angle θ1/2The smaller, the larger m; the more uniform the light output by the LED2, the half intensity angle theta1/2The larger, the smaller m. Therefore, in the backlight module shown in FIG. 7, the more the uniformity of the illumination over the LEDs 2 is, the half-intensity angle θ1/2The larger, the smaller m. As can be seen from the analysis of fig. 11, the smaller m, the smaller z is required for the LED2 to achieve a particular specification of uniformity of illumination. For the backlight module shown in FIG. 7, the optical axis plane and Z of the LED21The direction (i.e. the thickness direction of the backlight module) is verticalz is the distance between each point on the optical axis plane and the geometric center of the LED2 in the thickness direction of the backlight module, so that in the backlight module shown in fig. 7, the smaller m is, the smaller z is required in the thickness direction of the backlight module for achieving the illumination uniformity of the LED2 to a specific specification, and therefore, the thinner the thickness of the backlight module is, the thinner the thickness of the display device is.
In the second case, referring to fig. 12, to better show the propagation path of the light, compared to the area E1 in fig. 7, fig. 12 omits the light refracted at the top of the encapsulant 3 and the light totally reflected at the sidewall of the encapsulant 3, and only the light refracted at the sidewall of the encapsulant 3 remains.
As shown in fig. 12 (a), the critical angle of total reflection θ is not exceededMedicine for treating 1Light ray B of1After the light enters the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3, the light is refracted at the interface between the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 and the air and passes through the light ray B2To the diffusion layer 4. Due to the light ray B2Since air having a small refractive index is incident on the diffusion layer 4 having a large refractive index, the light ray B2Passes through the light B after reaching the diffusion layer 43Refracted into the diffusion layer 4. The dotted line with an arrow in the figure indicates the ray B1Directly enters the diffusion layer 4 from the packaging adhesive 3 without being refracted by air, and passes through the light ray B after reaching the diffusion layer 44The total reflection situation, i.e. the light ray B when the packaging adhesive 3 has the structure shown in FIG. 31The transmission path of (1). Visible light ray B1Total reflection will occur in the structure shown in fig. 3.
By contrast, it can be seen that the same is ray B1In the structure of the package paste 3 shown in fig. 7, transmission (i.e., refraction) occurs, and in the structure of the package paste 3 shown in fig. 3, a total reflection phenomenon occurs. That is, compared to the backlight module shown in fig. 3, the interval arrangement of the encapsulant 3 can reduce the occurrence of the total reflection phenomenon. Since the total reflection phenomenon in fig. 3 may cause the light to propagate in the encapsulation adhesive 3 by total reflection, thereby generating a halo effect, the halo effect may be reduced by the reduction of the total reflection phenomenon in fig. 7.
As shown in fig. 12 (b), ray C1Incident to the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3Then, refraction occurs at the interface between the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 and the air, and the light ray C passes through2Is transmitted to the diffusion layer 4 due to the light C2Since the light ray C is incident from the air having a small refractive index to the diffusion layer 4 having a large refractive index2Passes through the light C after reaching the diffusion layer 43Refracted into the diffusion layer 4. The dotted line with arrows in the figure indicates the light ray C1Directly enters the diffusion layer 4 from the packaging adhesive 3 without being refracted by air, and passes through the light C after reaching the diffusion layer 44Into the diffusion layer 4, i.e. the light C is shown when the packaging adhesive 3 has the structure shown in FIG. 31The transmission path of (1).
By comparison, it can be found that the same light C1Light C refracted through air3Relative to light C not refracted by air4More toward Z1And (4) direction. That is, the presence of air alters the light C1The large-angle light rays output from the edge area of the LED2 are converged more toward the center and reach the position a of the diffusion layer 4, and are closer to the emitted light ray C than the position b which reaches the diffusion layer 4 without being refracted by air1And further away from other surrounding LEDs 2, so that light C can be avoided1The light enters the area of the extended plate 41 opposite to the non-luminous LED2 around, so that the area where the non-luminous LED2 is located appears bright, and further, the halo effect can be reduced.
In summary, in the backlight module shown in fig. 7, the encapsulation adhesives 3 of two LEDs 2 are disposed at intervals, and air is filled between the encapsulation adhesives 3 of two LEDs 2. The light reaching the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 is transmitted from the packaging adhesive 3 as an optically dense medium to the air as an optically sparse medium, so that the light which is totally reflected at the top of the packaging adhesive 3 or is diffused into the area where the peripheral non-luminous LED2 is positioned to cause a halo effect can be totally reflected at the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 or transmitted to the Z direction1The direction deflection mode is close to the optical axis of the LED2 and refracts the light into the diffusion layer 4, so that the illuminance above the LED2 can be enhanced, the emergent efficiency is improved, and the halo effect is reduced.
In the backlight module shown in fig. 7, the sealing adhesive is applied to the backlight module3 sidewalls by total reflection, or in direction Z1After entering the diffusion layer 4, the light rays in the direction of deflection are either refracted through the diffusion layer 4 and enter the light conversion film 5, thereby providing backlight, or are totally reflected at the top of the diffusion layer 4 (the side of the diffusion layer 4 away from the substrate). Specifically, in the backlight module shown in fig. 7, the encapsulating adhesives 3 of two LEDs 2 are arranged at intervals, so that the upper side (the side of the diffusion layer 4 away from the substrate 1) and the lower side (the side of the diffusion layer 4 close to the substrate 1) of the region where the diffusion layer 4 is located between two encapsulating adhesives 3 are both air, and the diffusion layer 4 in the region becomes a waveguide. Based on this, fig. 7 shows the light B originally totally reflected at the top of the package adhesive 3 shown in fig. 31Light ray C1After being refracted into the diffusion layer 4, if the light B is1Light ray C1Does not exceed the critical angle theta of total reflectionFace 4The light is transmitted through the diffusion layer 4, thereby improving the light emitting efficiency and reducing the total reflection phenomenon to reduce the halo effect. If the light ray B1Light ray C1Exceeding the critical angle theta of total reflectionFace 4The total internal reflection propagation of the diffusion layer 4 between two packaging adhesives 3 can also reduce the halo effect for the latter, and the specific analysis is as follows:
referring to FIG. 3, ray B1Light ray C1Totally reflecting at positions a and B of the interface M, respectively, and passing through the light beam B2Light ray C3Reflected to the boundary surface N, it can be seen that the incident angles of the light rays from the first LED2 and the second LED2 to the position a to the position b in FIG. 3 are all larger than the critical angle θ of total reflectionMedicine 2Therefore, no light is transmitted from the position a to the position b, so that a darker aperture is presented, and a halo effect is generated, and particularly, when the distance from the position a to the position b is larger, a distinct black ring appears, and the halo effect is more distinct. The backlight module shown in fig. 7 refracts the light into the diffusion layer 4, and then diffuses outward layer by layer through the diffusion layer 4 until reaching the top of the diffusion layer 4, and then totally reflects the light. It can be seen that the light rays diffused outward layer by layer through the diffusion layer 4 are far away from the optical axis of the LED2 at the position where the light rays totally reflect after reaching the top of the diffusion layer 4, and the light rays output by two LEDs 2 totally reflect at the top of the diffusion layer 4The positions are closer, so that the distance of the wireless transmission area can be reduced, and the halo effect is reduced.
Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, in order to reduce the halo effect and improve the light emitting efficiency, the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3 are disposed in a manner of being attached to each other, such that the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3 are in close contact with each other, and the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4 is greater than the refractive index of the encapsulant 3.
It should be noted that, because the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulation adhesive 3 are in close contact, the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulation adhesive 3 maintain a zero optical distance, and no air exists, so that light incident on the top of the encapsulation adhesive 3 directly enters the diffusion layer 4. It will be appreciated that when there is an optical distance between the diffuser layer 4 and the encapsulant 3, light incident on top of the encapsulant 3 first enters the air and then refracts through the air into the diffuser layer 4. Since the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4 is greater than that of air, the light entering the diffusion layer 4 directly from the top of the encapsulant 3 is closer to Z than the light entering air1The direction makes the light output from the top of the packaging adhesive 3 more convergent and more distant from other surrounding LEDs 2, and the halo effect caused by the light diffused into the surrounding areas of other LEDs 2 at the top of the packaging adhesive is less likely to occur.
In addition, since the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4 is greater than that of the encapsulant 3, the encapsulant 3 is an optically thinner medium, and the diffusion layer 4 is an optically denser medium. According to the definition of total reflection, the light is totally reflected when the light is incident from the optically dense medium to the optically sparse medium, and the light is not totally reflected when the light is incident from the optically sparse medium to the optically dense medium. Based on this, the light with a large incident angle incident on the top of the packaging adhesive 3 will not be totally reflected, but is totally refracted out through the diffusion layer 4, thereby increasing the transmission ratio (i.e. the outgoing efficiency) of the light and reducing the occurrence of the total emission phenomenon. Compared with the backlight module shown in fig. 3, the embodiment is beneficial to reducing the halo effect caused by the total reflection phenomenon of the large-angle light rays on the top of the packaging adhesive 3. Furthermore, since the light is emitted from the package adhesive 3 as the optically thinner medium into the diffusion layer 4 as the optically denser medium, the light output from the top of the package adhesive 3 can be reducedThe angle of incidence, in other words, the light from the top of the packaging adhesive 3 to the diffusion layer 4, will be in the direction of Z1Deflecting in direction to converge, rather than in X direction1The direction is diffused, so that the halo effect caused by the diffusion of the high-angle light to the surrounding area where the non-luminous LED2 is located can be relieved.
Fig. 7 illustrates the influence of the zero-optical-distance structure on light transmission, taking as an example that the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4 is larger than that of the encapsulant 3. It is to be understood that in other embodiments, the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4 may also be smaller than the encapsulant 3 when the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3 are in intimate contact. Since the zero optical distance is kept between the diffusion layer 4 and the packaging adhesive 3, no air exists, and the light output from the LED2 to the top of the packaging adhesive 3 is also directly incident to the diffusion layer 4 from the packaging adhesive 3. Although the light refracted into the diffusion layer 4 is further away from Z than in fig. 71And (4) direction. But the light output from the top of the encapsulant 3 is more towards Z than in the case of the optical distance solution1The directional deflection causes the light to be more concentrated, which also reduces the halo effect described above, as will be discussed in more detail below with reference to fig. 13.
Referring to fig. 13, (a) and (b) in fig. 13 respectively illustrate the influence of the optical distance between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3 on the light propagation. It will be appreciated that since the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4 is greater than that of air, θ is compared to the critical angle of total reflectionMedicine 2Corresponding critical line of total reflection B2Critical angle of total reflection thetaMedicine 3Corresponding critical line of total reflection B3More toward Z1And (4) direction.
As shown in fig. 13 (a), this figure shows a diagram of a propagation path of light when no air exists between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulating adhesive 3. In this case, the critical angle θ of total reflection is not exceeded in the light incident on the top of the encapsulant 3Medicine 2Light ray A of1Light ray A2Light ray A3Refracting from the top of the packaging adhesive 3 into the diffusion layer 4 at the positions a, b and c of the diffusion layer 4 respectively; and exceeds the critical angle theta of total reflectionMedicine 2Light ray A of4Total reflection will occur causing loss of this portion of the light. As shown in (b) of fig. 13, the figure illustratesThe propagation path of light in the presence of air between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3 is shown. In this case, the critical angle θ of total reflection is not exceeded in the light incident on the top of the encapsulant 3Medicine 3Light ray A of1Will refract into the air, and refract to the position d of the diffusion layer 4 through the air separately; and exceeds the critical angle theta of total reflectionMedicine 3Light ray A of2Light ray A3Total reflection will occur causing loss of this portion of the light.
Comparing the two figures, it can be seen that the presence of air between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3 will cause total reflection of more light rays (such as light ray a2), thereby reducing the light extraction efficiency. On the contrary, the absence of air between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3 reduces the total reflection of light (such as light ray a2), thereby improving the light extraction efficiency. It should be understood that, compared to the backlight module shown in fig. 3, with the reduction of the total reflection phenomenon, the embodiment is beneficial to reduce the halo effect caused by the total reflection phenomenon of the high-angle light on the top of the encapsulant 3. In addition, it can be seen by comparison that the same is ray A2The position d reaching the diffusion layer 4 after air refraction is farther from the position a where the optical axis reaches the diffusion layer 4 than the position b reaching the diffusion layer 4 without air refraction. That is, air exists between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3, so that light output from the top of the encapsulant 3 is directed away from the package Z1The direction deflects, and the light output from the top of the packaging adhesive 3 is more dispersed and closer to other non-luminous LEDs 2 around, so that the light is easily emitted into the area of the expansion plate 41 opposite to the non-luminous LEDs 2 around, the area where the non-luminous LEDs 2 are located is bright, and the halo effect is generated. On the contrary, no air exists between the diffusion layer 4 and the packaging glue 3, so that the light rays can be enabled to be towards Z1The direction deflects, so that the light output from the top of the packaging adhesive 3 is more converged and is further away from other surrounding LEDs 2, and the halo effect is less likely to be generated.
In summary, no matter whether the refractive index of the encapsulant 3 is smaller than that of the diffusion layer 4, the scheme without optical distance in fig. 7, in which the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3 are attached to each other, is superior to the scheme with optical distance between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulant 3,all can lead the light output from the top of the packaging adhesive 3 to be Z1The direction is deflected, and the halo effect is relieved.
It is understood that when the refractive index of the encapsulation paste 3 is greater than that of the diffusion layer 4, total reflection of light incident to the diffusion layer 4 from the top of the encapsulation paste 3 may occur, thereby reducing the light extraction efficiency. In this case, in order to reduce the occurrence of the top-side total emission phenomenon of the encapsulant 3, the incident angle of the light incident on the top side of the encapsulant 3 should be as small as possible not to exceed the critical angle θ of total reflectionMedicine 2So that the light incident on the top of the packaging adhesive 3 is not totally reflected. Based on this, in some embodiments, in order to prevent the light incident on the top of the packaging adhesive 3 from total reflection as much as possible, the following describes how to set the width of the packaging adhesive 3 in detail with reference to fig. 14 and 15.
Referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic partial structure view of a backlight module according to another embodiment of the present application. Fig. 14 (a) and (b) show two different widths of the potting adhesive 3. As shown in fig. 14 (a) and (b), the encapsulating adhesive 3 in fig. 14 (b) is at X1The width in the direction is wider, and the packaging adhesive 3 is in X in (a) in FIG. 141The width of the direction is narrower. In fig. 14, (a) and (b) are the same except that the width of the sealing adhesive 3 is different, for example, the refractive index of the sealing adhesive 3, the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4, and parameters of the LED 2. Therefore, (a) in fig. 14 and (b) in fig. 14 have the same critical angle θ of total reflectionMedicine 2And a corresponding total reflection boundary line B2
As can be seen from (a) and (b) in fig. 14, when the packaging adhesive 3 is at X1The width in the direction is larger than that of the LED2 in X1When the width of the direction is wide, the light output by the LED2 obliquely enters the top of the packaging adhesive 3, so that the possibility of total reflection exists. When the packaging adhesive 3 is at X, as shown in FIG. 14 (a)1Wide in direction, so that the critical line B of total reflection2The position reaching the top of the packaging adhesive 3 is not on the top edge line of the packaging adhesive 3, and then the edge region E2 on the top of the packaging adhesive 3 will have light (e.g. light a)1Light ray A2) Incident at an angle greater than total reflectionCritical angle thetaMedicine 2So that total reflection occurs at the top of the encapsulation paste 3. Wherein the edge region E2 is a critical line B for total reflection2Reaching the area between the position a at the top of the encapsulating glue 3 and the edge line at the top of the encapsulating glue 3. When the sealing adhesive 3 is at X, as shown in FIG. 14 (b)1The width of the direction is narrow, so that the critical line B of total reflection2The position of the top of the encapsulating glue 3 is on the top edge line of the encapsulating glue 3, so that the top of the encapsulating glue 3 is not only along the critical line B for total reflection2The incident angles of other light rays reaching the top of the packaging adhesive 3 outside the transmitted light rays are all smaller than the critical angle theta of total reflectionMedicine 2So that the top of the packaging adhesive 3 is not totally reflected. Based on this, without changing the critical line B of total reflection2In this case, the sealing adhesive 3 may be set at X1The width of the direction is less than the critical line B of total reflection2Reaching the position a of the diffusion layer 4 to reduce the occurrence of total reflection at the top of the encapsulation adhesive 3.
Referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a schematic partial structure view of a backlight module according to another embodiment of the present application. In fig. 15 (a) and (b), the sealing adhesive 3 is at X1The width of the direction is just at the critical line B of total reflection2To the position of the diffusion layer 4. The difference is that in fig. 15 (a), the critical line B for total reflection2Output from a region within the edge line of the LED2, and a critical line B of total reflection in FIG. 15 (B)2Output by the edge lines of the LEDs 2. By comparison, it can be found that the critical line B for total reflection in (B) of fig. 152When the light is output from the edge line of the LED2, most of the light is smaller than the critical angle theta of total reflectionMedicine 2Therefore, most of the light will be transmitted from the top of the packaging adhesive 3, and there is substantially no light a emitted from the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 in fig. 15 (a)1And a ray A2. It should be understood that although the light ray A is emitted from the side wall of the package adhesive 31And a ray A2Can be directed to Z1The direction is deflected, but it is not excluded that it is lost by total reflection propagation within the diffusion layer 4, or still hits the surrounding area where the non-emitting LED2 is located. Therefore, the critical line B of total reflection shown in fig. 15 (B) is used2Setting the packaging adhesive 3 at X1Width in the direction ofAnd the light emitting efficiency can be high.
Based on this, as shown in (b) of fig. 15, the package adhesive 3 is applied at X1The width of the direction is just at the critical line B of total reflection2The position of incidence to the diffusion layer 4 is taken as an example, and the packaging adhesive 3 is arranged at X1Width L of direction2From LED2 at X1Width L of direction1And two packaging glues 3 are in X1One-sided width L of direction-widening LED23The three parts are formed. Thus, L2=L1+2L3=L1+2L3=L1+2h*tanθMedicine 2=L1+2h*tan(arcsin(n2/n1). Wherein, thetaMedicine 2The critical angle of total reflection, n, of light incident on the diffusion layer 4 from the top of the packaging adhesive 32Is the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4, n1Is the refractive index of the packaging adhesive 3, h is the Z of the packaging adhesive 31The direction is higher than the height of the LED2, and the LED2 is arranged at Z1When the thickness in the direction is ignored, h can be regarded as that the packaging adhesive 3 is in Z1The thickness in the direction. It should be understood that, in (B) in fig. 15, when the critical line B of total reflection is followed2When the transmitted light reaches the top of the packaging adhesive 3, the light is just totally reflected, so that L is used for avoiding the occurrence of total reflection phenomenon as much as possible2<L1+2h*tan(arcsin(n2/n1)。
In the backlight module shown in fig. 7, with the reduction of the halo effect, the area where the peripheral non-light-emitting LED2 is located is not easily "lighted" by the light output by the light-emitting LED2, so that a large contrast can be formed between the area where the light-emitting LED2 is located and the area where the non-light-emitting LED2 is located, and a high contrast ratio is formed. In addition, because the shading structure shown in fig. 6 is not arranged, the condition of low brightness cannot occur, and the large-angle light output from the edge of the LED2 is totally reflected to the top of the packaging adhesive 3 through the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3, so that the light gathering is favorably increased, and the brightness can be improved.
It should be understood that although the backlight module shown in fig. 7 is provided with the diffusion layer 4 in close contact with the packaging adhesive 3, the light output from the LED2 can be directly refracted from the top of the packaging adhesive 3 to the top of the packaging adhesive 3A diffusion layer 4. However, the light refracted into the diffusion layer 4 is further towards Z than for the optically distant solution1The direction is deflected, so that the light rays approach to the center, and the edge illuminance of the packaging adhesive 3 is relatively weak, and the better illumination uniformity cannot be achieved.
Referring to fig. 16, fig. 16 is a schematic structural diagram of a backlight module according to another embodiment of the present application. Unlike the backlight module shown in fig. 7, in the backlight module shown in fig. 16, the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulation adhesive 3 are disposed at an interval such that air exists between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulation adhesive 3, and an optical distance exists between the diffusion layer and the encapsulation adhesive 3. In order to make the optical distance between the diffusion layer 4 and the packaging adhesive 3, in some embodiments, the backlight module shown in fig. 7 can be arranged along the Z-direction1The three film materials of the board expanding 41, the diffusion film 42 and the light adding film 43 which are sequentially laminated in the direction are replaced by a synthetic film material with only one layer, and the synthetic film material has all the effects of the three film materials of the board expanding 41, the diffusion film 42 and the light adding film 43. Thus, the backlight module is not increased along the Z direction1In the case of directional thickness, the diffusion layer 4 may be raised in such a way that the thickness of the diffusion layer 4 is reduced, so that there is an optical distance between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulation adhesive 3. In other embodiments, the diffusion layer 4 may also be raised by increasing the thickness of the backlight module, so as to obtain the optical distance, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
It will be appreciated that when air is present between the diffuser layer 4 and the encapsulant 3, light is refracted into the air (optically thinner medium) from the top of the encapsulant 3 (optically denser medium) first, with the refracted light deviating from Z1In a direction, i.e. towards X1Deflected in direction and then re-injected into the diffusion layer 4. Compared with the scheme of fig. 7 in which light is directly injected into the diffusion layer 4 from the top of the encapsulation adhesive 3, the refraction of air can make the light far away from Z1The direction deflects for the light of 3 top outputs of packaging glue is toward outer diffusion, thereby reaches better illuminance uniformity, and LED2 reaches the required backlight unit's of the illuminance uniformity of specific specification thickness thinner, thinner display device's thickness. But at the same time the presence of air causes the light reaching the top of the encapsulating glue 3 to be directed towardsX1The direction is deflected, so that total reflection is more likely to occur or the light enters a region where the surrounding non-luminous LED2 is located, and a halo effect is caused, and specific analysis may refer to relevant contents shown in fig. 7 and fig. 13, which is not described herein again. Based on this, in order to suppress the generation of the halo effect while ensuring the uniformity of the backlight unit, as shown in fig. 16, a grid 8 is further connected between the diffusion layer 4 and the substrate 1. Grid 8 has a plurality of grids 83, and grid walls 84 of all grids 83 form grid 8.
Specifically, referring to fig. 17, fig. 17 is a sectional view of the backlight module shown in fig. 16 taken along a sectional line a-a. For convenience of the following description, X is established on FIG. 171Y1Coordinate system, X1Y1In a plane parallel to the substrate 1, and Z1Direction of vertical, X1The direction being aligned with one of the LED's 2, e.g. the row direction, Y1The direction is the other, e.g. column, direction of the LEDs 2. As shown in FIG. 17, the grid 8 includes a rim X1A plurality of transverse bars 81 distributed in the direction and along Y1A plurality of longitudinal bars 82 distributed in the direction. The transverse bars 81 and the longitudinal bars 82 are criss-crossed to form a plurality of grids 83. The individual potting compound 3 is surrounded by a grid wall 84 of the individual grid 83. It can be seen that in X1Two packaging glues 3 adjacent to each other in the direction, such as the packaging glue 31 (i.e., the first packaging glue) and the packaging glue 32 (i.e., the second packaging glue), are separated by the grid wall 84 (i.e., the spacer unit). The wall surface of the grid wall 84 facing the first package adhesive 3 (i.e., the first plate surface) and the wall surface of the grid side wall 84 facing the first package adhesive 3 (i.e., the second plate surface) have a light reflection function.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 18, in order to form the grating 8, first, the steel net 7B shown in (a) of fig. 18 is designed. As shown in fig. 18 (a), the steel net 7B (i.e., the second steel net or the fourth steel net) includes the open regions 71B and the non-open regions 72B alternately arranged, in other words, the non-open regions 72B and the open regions 71B are arranged in a sequence of xyxyyx (X is the non-open regions 72B, Y is the open regions 71B). Wherein the open-cell area 71B has a cavity (i.e. a second cavity or a fourth cavity) and an opening (i.e. a second opening or a fourth opening) for pouring the grid glue into the cavity; the non-opening area 72B has a cavity for accommodating the packaging adhesive 3, and every two opening areas 71B are separated by the non-opening area 72B. After obtaining the steel net 7B shown in fig. 18 (a), as shown in fig. 18 (B), after the LED2 is packaged, secondary steel net printing is performed by laying the steel net 7B shown in fig. 18 (a) over the substrate 1 so that the open area 71B is aligned with the gap between two package glues 3 and the non-open area 72B covers the area where the package glues 3 are located. After the packaging of the LED2 is completed, a steel mesh 7B with an open area 71B and a non-open area 72B is used for secondary steel mesh printing, so that the open area 71B is aligned with the gap between every two packaging glues 3, and the non-open area 72B covers the area where the packaging glues 3 are located. Next, the grid glue solution is injected from the open-cell area 71B by dispensing, spraying, brushing, etc., so as to form grid bars on both sides of the package glue 3, thereby forming the grid wall 84. And then cured to form a grid 8 on both sides of the encapsulation glue 3. Finally, a reflective coating may be formed on the grid wall 84 by sputtering, spraying, or the like, or a reflective paper, a reflective film, or the like may be directly attached to the grid wall 84, so that the grid wall 84 has a light reflection function, and it is ensured that light rays between adjacent grids 83 do not cross each other. In other embodiments, the grid 8 with the above structure can be manufactured by injection molding, stamping, or other forming methods.
The following is a detailed analysis of how the grid ensures the uniformity of the backlight module and suppresses the generation of the halo effect in conjunction with fig. 19.
Referring to fig. 19, fig. 19 is a partial enlarged view of a region E3 in fig. 16. Due to the presence of air between the diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulation glue 3, the light ray A reaching the top of the encapsulation glue 31By means of a light ray A2To X1The light beam is deflected to be closer to the area where the peripheral non-emitting LED2 is located, and the light beam A is assumed to be absent from the grid wall 84 (the backlight module shown in FIG. 7)2Will enter the area where the surrounding non-emitting LED2 is located, causing a halo effect. In the backlight module shown in FIG. 19, the existence of the grid wall 84 changes the light A2In the direction of propagation of the light ray A3Is reflected to the area of the diffuser plate 41 above the LED2, thereby avoiding that this part of the light is emitted into the surroundings without being emittedThe area of the light LED2, in turn, can mitigate the halo effect. In addition, since the optical distance is kept between the diffusion layer 4 and the packaging adhesive 3, the backlight module shown in fig. 16 can move the light output by the LED2 away from Z1The direction is deflected, so that the illuminance of the edge area with weaker illuminance is close to the central area as much as possible, and the uniformity is considered.
In addition, as shown in fig. 19, due to the existence of the air between the packaging adhesives 3, the light B reaching the side wall of the packaging adhesive 31Light ray C1Respectively pass through light rays B2Light ray C2To Z1The direction is deflected, and the light B is assumed to be in the absence of the grid wall 84 (the backlight module shown in FIG. 7)2Light ray C2There is still the possibility of impinging on the area where the surrounding unlit LED2 is located. In the backlight module shown in FIG. 19, the existence of the grid wall 84 changes the light B2Light ray C2Respectively, and respectively pass through the light ray B3Light ray C3To the area of the extended plate 41 above the LEDs 2, thereby preventing this light from entering the surrounding area where the non-emitting LEDs 2 are located, and thus reducing the halo effect. Moreover, according to the description of the related contents of the embodiment shown in fig. 13, the air between the top of the encapsulant 3 and the diffusion layer 4 makes the light reach the top of the encapsulant 3 and may be fully emitted, thereby causing the loss of the light, and therefore, in the backlight module shown in fig. 16, by reflecting the light incident on the grid wall 84 to the area of the diffusion plate 41 above the LED2, the illuminance above the LED2 can be increased, and the light loss caused by the diffused light can be compensated.
In summary, compared to the backlight module shown in fig. 7, the backlight module shown in fig. 16 further uses the grid 8 to secondarily shield the light output from the sidewall and the top of the encapsulant 3, which may enter the surrounding area where the non-emitting LED2 is located. And, under the effect that has the secondary protection, through the clearance between diffusion layer 4 and the encapsulation glue 3, outwards diffuse the light at encapsulation glue 3 top to improve the illuminance of marginal area, thereby improve backlight unit's illuminance degree of consistency, and help reducing backlight unit's thickness. Due to the secondary protection, the light which is diffused outwards is not worried to be emitted into the area where the LED2 which does not emit light is located, so that the halo effect is caused. It should be understood that the existence of the grid 8 allows more light emitted from the encapsulant 3 to be transmitted to the grid wall 84 and then reflected by the grid wall 84 to the top of the LED2, so that all light output by the LED2 is finally mixed by the grid 8 and then output, and therefore, the flat light source originally formed by the LED2 is expanded to a large-area uniform light source formed by the area surrounded by the grid wall 84 of the grid 83.
It should be noted that the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4 in fig. 16 may be larger than the refractive index of the encapsulant 3. In other embodiments, the refractive index of the diffusion layer 4 is smaller than that of the encapsulant 3, so that the light entering the air from the top of the encapsulant 3 and entering the diffusion layer 4 from the air is farther away from Z for better illumination uniformity over the LED21Direction of light ray in X1The directions are more dispersed, and the edge of the packaging adhesive 3 has better illumination, so that the LED2 has better illumination uniformity.
Fig. 16 shows the structure of the secondary protection with the grid wall 84 of the grid 8. In other embodiments, the secondary protection may be performed by other members having a light reflection function. Illustratively, it may also be at X1An independent baffle (namely a clapboard unit) is arranged between two packaging adhesives 3 adjacent to each other in the direction for secondary protection. The individual baffles are discrete pieces compared to the unitary piece of grating 8. In this case, the shutter has two plate surfaces, one of which (i.e., the first plate surface) faces one of the adjacent two potting adhesives 3 (i.e., the first potting adhesive) and maintains a gap; the other plate (i.e., the second plate) faces the other sealing compound 3 (i.e., the second sealing compound) and maintains a gap, and the following embodiments are all described with reference to the grid wall 84 of the grid 8.
It should be understood that when the backlight module is along Z1When the thickness in the direction is relatively small, then, grid wall 84 is at Z1The height of the direction is lower. In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 20, which is different from the backlight module shown in FIG. 19, the grid wall 84 of the backlight module is at Z1The height of the direction is lower. In this situationUnder the same conditions, the light (e.g. light A) originally outputted from the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 and the top of the packaging adhesive 3 onto the grid wall 842Light ray B2) Possibly transmitted through above the grid walls 84 and into the surrounding unlit LEDs 2, causing a halo effect. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application further provides a backlight module shown in fig. 21.
Referring to fig. 21, fig. 21 is a schematic structural diagram of a backlight module according to another embodiment of the present application. Unlike the backlight module shown in FIG. 16, the grid wall 84 of the backlight module is along the X direction1Thickness in the direction Z1The direction gradually increases. In other words, the thickness of the grid wall 84 gradually decreases from the end away from the substrate 1 to the end close to the substrate 1, and the grid wall has a structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Thus, for light ray A that may pass over grid wall 84 as shown in FIG. 202Light ray B2It is shielded and reflected by the portion of the grid wall 84 extending by widening as shown in fig. 21, so that the light ray a2Light ray B2The ambient non-emitting LED2 cannot be irradiated, and the halo effect can be reduced.
It should be understood that in the backlight module shown in fig. 21, the grid wall 84 has light reflection output, so the grid wall 84 has brightness, but the top of the grid wall 84 (the end in contact with the diffusion layer 4) has no light output, so the top of the grid wall 84 is darker, so that a dark ring (i.e. halo effect) is presented at the periphery of the bright object displayed by the LED2, especially at the X position of the grid wall 841The thickness in the direction is too thick (e.g., in FIG. 21, the grid wall 84 is placed above X1The thickness in the direction is widened), the performance becomes more remarkable. In addition, when most of the high angle light emitted from the LED2 is reflected by the grid wall 84 (e.g., the grid wall 84 is at Z)1High in height or wide above grid wall 84 as in fig. 21), there will be less light rays obliquely coming out from above grid wall 84, in which case the location where grid wall 84 is located appears darker overall when looking at the screen of the electronic device from an oblique perspective, thereby causing the human eye to look at the presence of interior grid wall 84.
In view of this, referring to fig. 22 (a), the corner of the end of the grid wall 84 away from the substrate 1 in fig. 21 is chamfered, so that a slope 85 is formed at the end of the grid wall 84 away from the substrate 1 with respect to the substrate 1. On the one hand, the area of the top of the grid wall 84, i.e. the area without light output, can be reduced, so that the area of the black ring can be reduced, and the halo effect can be reduced, and on the other hand, the light ray a originally blocked and reflected by the grid wall 84 as shown in fig. 21 is reflected2Light ray B2Will be obliquely projected from the inclined plane 85 to above the top of the grid 83, compensates for the halo effect at the top of the grid 83 due to no light projection, and when the human eye looks at the screen of the electronic device from an oblique perspective, ray a2Light ray B2Can be projected into the human eye so that the grid wall 84 is positioned at a position exhibiting a brightness similar to that of the potting adhesive 3 as a whole and thus not gazing at the presence of the inner grid wall 84. Similarly, the backlight module shown in fig. 7 and 16 has the same problem. In other embodiments, referring to fig. 22 (b), the corner of the end of the grid wall 84 away from the substrate 1 in fig. 16 may also be chamfered, and a slope 85 is formed at the end of the grid wall 84 away from the substrate 1 and opposite to the substrate 1. In other embodiments, the corner of the end of the grid wall 84 away from the substrate 1 in fig. 7 may be chamfered, and a slope may be formed at the end of the grid wall 84 away from the substrate 1 relative to the substrate 1.
Referring to fig. 23a, fig. 23a is a schematic structural diagram of a backlight module according to another embodiment of the present application. Unlike the backlight module shown in fig. 16, in the backlight module, an arc-shaped groove 33 is formed at the top of the packaging adhesive 3. In this case, the top of the encapsulation glue 3 is equivalent to a concave lens. In addition, the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 is along Z1The direction gradually approaches the optical axis. In other words, the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 is along the Z1The direction inclines towards the optical axis to form a trapezoidal side wall. To facilitate the illustration of the structure of the packaging adhesive 3 shown in fig. 23a, fig. 23B shows a cross-sectional view of fig. 23a along the cutting line B-B. As shown in fig. 23b, the arc-shaped groove 33 on the top of the encapsulating glue 3 forms an oval-shaped ring-shaped area inside the edge line of the encapsulating glue 3. The top of the trapezoidal side wall (the side far from the substrate 1) is shown in a cross sectionAn inner rectangular ring line M1 is formed, and an outer rectangular ring line M2 is formed in a cross-sectional view at the bottom (the side closer to the substrate 1) of the trapezoidal side wall.
The effect of the curved recesses 33, and the trapezoidal sidewalls on the light propagation path is specifically analyzed below in conjunction with fig. 24 and 25.
Referring to fig. 24, fig. 24 illustrates the influence of the structure on the top of the package adhesive 3 on the propagation direction of the refracted light. It should be noted that, for the sake of clarity, fig. 24 only illustrates the structure of the package adhesive 3 and the corresponding LED2 in fig. 23a, and only the light refracted from the top of the package adhesive 3 is retained. Wherein the dotted line a1Is a normal line of the interface between the top of the packaging adhesive 3 and the air, shown in fig. 16, and is a dotted line a2Light ray A is normal to the top of the packaging adhesive 3 shown in FIG. 23a and the interface with air2Is a light ray A1The exit direction of the refracted ray, ray A, when incident on the top of the encapsulant 3 shown in FIG. 163Is a light ray A1The exit direction of the refracted ray when it strikes the top of the encapsulant 3 shown in fig. 23 a. By contrast, it can be seen that by forming the arc-shaped groove 33 on the top of the packaging adhesive 3, the normal of the interface between the top of the packaging adhesive 3 and the air can be deflected counterclockwise. On the basis of the above, the light ray A1The corresponding incident angle and hence refraction angle become larger, and ray A becomes larger1After reaching the arc-shaped groove 33, it will be further away from Z at the arc-shaped groove 331The direction deflects, thereby making light diffuse to the optical axis both sides, and then promoting the illuminance uniformity. It should be understood that the light incident on the top of the encapsulant 3 is substantially the light from the central region of the LED2, and therefore, the arc-shaped groove 33 has the function of diffusing the light output from the central region of the LED2 more outward, so as to weaken the high illuminance directly above the LED2 and improve the illuminance of the region other than the region directly above the LED2, thereby facilitating the improvement of the illuminance uniformity of the backlight module, and further reducing the thickness of the backlight module.
Referring to fig. 25, fig. 25 illustrates the influence of the sidewall structure of the package adhesive 3 on the propagation direction of the refracted light. It should be noted that fig. 25 only illustrates the package glue 3 and the pair of package glues in fig. 23a for clarity of illustrationThe structure of the LED2 is designed, and only the light refracted from the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 is reserved. Wherein the dotted line b1Is a normal line of the interface of the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 with air, shown in FIG. 16, and is a dotted line b2Light ray B is normal to the interface between the sidewall of the packaging adhesive 3 and air shown in FIG. 23a2Is a light ray B1The exit direction of the refracted ray, ray B, when it enters the side wall of the package adhesive 3 shown in FIG. 163Is a light ray B1The light rays incident on the side wall of the package adhesive 3 shown in fig. 23a are refracted in the exit direction. Through comparison, the normal line of the interface between the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 and the air can be deflected anticlockwise by inclining the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 to the optical axis, so that the same light ray B reaching the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 is enabled to be emitted1Finally can be towards Z1The direction is deflected. It should be understood that the light incident on the sidewall of the package adhesive 3 is substantially the high angle light from the edge of the LED2, and therefore, the trapezoidal sidewall has the effect of making the high angle light from the edge of the LED2 more convergent, further reducing the halo effect. In addition, the light ray B1After deflection by the trapezoidal side wall, the light ray B may finally pass3The light is directly irradiated into the gap between the grid wall 84 and the packaging adhesive 3, so that the brightness of the gap between the grid wall 84 and the packaging adhesive 3 is improved, and the light is not irradiated to the grid wall 84, which is more beneficial to enabling the area surrounded by the grid wall 84 to be equivalent to a large-area uniform light source.
It should be understood that, in other embodiments, on the basis of the backlight module shown in fig. 16, only the arc-shaped groove 33 is formed on the top of the packaging adhesive 3, or only the side wall of the packaging adhesive 3 is set as the trapezoid side wall. The louver 8 of the backlight module shown in fig. 23a may be provided with reference to fig. 21 and 22. The embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited to this.
In some embodiments, in order to form the packaging adhesive 3 shown in fig. 23a, please refer to fig. 26, first, the steel net 7C (i.e. the third steel net) shown in fig. 26 (a) is designed. The steel net 7C has a first surface S1 and a second surface S2. As shown in fig. 26 (a), the steel net 7C includes boss regions 71C and non-opening regions 72C alternately arranged. Wherein the boss region 71C includes an arc-shaped boss structure 712C, and an opening region 711C surrounding the arc-shaped boss structure 712C; the opening area 711C has a cavity (i.e., a third cavity), and an opening (i.e., a third opening) for pouring the potting adhesive into the cavity; two-by-two land areas 71C are separated by a non-apertured area 72C. As shown in fig. 26 (b), after the steel net 7C shown in fig. 26 (a) is obtained, it may be laid over the substrate 1 such that the land regions 71C are aligned with the regions where the LEDs 2 are located, the non-opening regions 72C are aligned with the gaps between two LEDs 2, and the first surface S1 is a surface away from the substrate 1 in the laid steel net 7C. Then, the encapsulation glue solution is injected into the hole position where the LED2 is located from the hole opening area 711C by means of dispensing, spraying, brushing, and the like. Due to the existence of the arc-shaped boss structure 712C, the arc-shaped groove 33 can be formed at the top of the packaging adhesive 3, and due to the shape of the non-opening area 72C being an inverted trapezoid, the packaging adhesive 3 with the trapezoid-shaped side wall can be formed. Finally, curing is performed, and the packaging adhesive 3 shown in fig. 23a is formed on the LED2, so as to realize the packaging of the LED 2.
