At present, the frequency of using the display device in an open space or a public place is very high, and along with the continuous improvement of the demands of users for privacy security protection, the display device is generally required to be subjected to peep-proof design so as to ensure the privacy security of the users.
The inventor of the present application has noted that the conventional display device realizes the peep-proof function by providing the peep-proof film on the display panel. The peep-proof film is generally arranged on one side of the display surface of the display panel, and adopts a shutter principle, so that the peep-proof film has the property of limiting light to exit the display panel from a fixed angle. Therefore, the peep-proof angle of the display panel provided with the peep-proof film is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Therefore, the light-emitting field angle of the display panel is also fixed, and the arrangement of the peep-proof film enables the display brightness of the front view angle and the inclined view angle of the display panel to be different and not adjustable, so that the visual experience of a user is affected. On the other hand, the peep-proof film is arranged on the display surface side of the display panel, so that part of light rays emitted from the front viewing angle of the display panel are shielded, and the display brightness of the front viewing angle of the display panel is sacrificed by the peep-proof film, so that the display effect of the display panel is affected.
The inventor of the application researches and discovers that a dimming structure can be arranged in the backlight module, the dimming structure comprises a reflecting surface, and the dimming structure can control the size of the emergent view angle of the backlight module by adjusting the size of an included angle between the reflecting surface and the substrate. When the light-emitting field angle of the backlight module is smaller, the backlight module is in a peep-proof mode; when the light-emitting field angle of the backlight module is larger, the backlight module is in a normal display mode. The backlight module can be switched between the peep-proof mode and the normal display mode through the dimming structure.
In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the embodiment of the application provides a backlight module, a display panel, a control method of the display panel and a display device. The following first describes a backlight module provided by an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a backlight module according to some embodiments of the present application, fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of another backlight module according to some embodiments of the present application, and fig. 3 is a schematic top view of a backlight module according to some embodiments of the present application.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the backlight module comprises a substrate 10, a reflective layer 20 and a light source 30, the reflective layer 20 is disposed on the substrate 10, the reflective layer 20 comprises a plurality of reflective regions 21, the reflective regions 21 are provided with a dimming structure 22, the dimming structure 22 comprises a reflective surface 221 facing away from the substrate 10, the reflective surface 221 is movably connected to the substrate 10, and a first included angle a between the reflective surface 221 and the substrate 10 is adjustable; the light source 30 is disposed on a side of the reflective layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10, and the light source 30 is configured to emit light toward the reflective surface 221.
Alternatively, the reflective layer 20 is divided into a plurality of reflective regions 21 distributed adjacently, and the plurality of reflective regions 21 may be disposed in an array, and the shape of the reflective regions 21 may be, but is not limited to, square, rectangular, or triangular.
The dimming structures 22 are provided in each of the reflection regions 21, and the number of dimming structures 22 in each of the reflection regions 21 may be, but is not limited to, one, two, or more. Alternatively, when the number of dimming structures 22 in each reflection area 21 is plural, the plurality of dimming structures 22 are distributed in an array.
The dimming structure 22 includes a reflective surface 221, and the reflective surface 221 can reflect light emitted by the light source 30. The reflective surface 221 is disposed away from the substrate 10, and it is understood that a side surface of the reflective surface 221 capable of reflecting light is opposite to the substrate 10. The reflective surface 221 is movably connected to the substrate 10, and a first angle a between the reflective surface 221 and the substrate 10 is adjustable. In the embodiment of the present application, by adjusting the first angle a between the reflecting surface 221 and the substrate 10, the light reflection path of the reflecting surface 221 can be changed, so that the reflecting area 21 has different light-emitting angles.
The light source 30 in the embodiment of the present application may be, but is not limited to, a Mini light emitting Diode (MINI LIGHT EMITTING Diode), a Micro LIGHT EMITTING Diode (Micro LED), an Organic LIGHT EMITTING Diode (OLED), or the like. The light source 30 is disposed on a side of the reflective layer 20 facing away from the substrate 10, and is configured to emit light toward the reflective surface 221, and the light is reflected by the reflective surface 221 and then emitted out of the backlight module.
Alternatively, the number of the light sources 30 may be plural, and the light sources 30 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the reflection areas 21. And, in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, the orthographic projection of the light source 30 on the reflective layer 20 is located at the geometric center of the reflective area 21. The light emitted from the light source 30 can be uniformly distributed to the reflecting surface 221 in the reflecting area 21.
In the above technical solution, by adjusting the first angle a between the reflecting surface 221 and the substrate 10, the light reflection path of the reflecting surface 221 can be changed, so that the reflecting area 21 has different light-emitting angles, and the backlight module can have different light-emitting angles. When the light-emitting field angle of the backlight module is smaller, the backlight module is in a peep-proof mode; when the light-emitting field angle of the backlight module is larger, the backlight module is in a normal display mode. Thus, the backlight module can be switched between the peep-proof mode and the normal display mode by the dimming structure 22.
In some embodiments, the dimming structure 22 further includes a driving component 222, and the driving component 222 is connected to the reflective surface 221.
Alternatively, the driving part 222 can drive the reflective surface 221 to rotate so as to adjust the first angle a between the reflective surface 221 and the substrate 10. In the dimming structure 22 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the driving components 222 and the reflecting surfaces 221 may have various corresponding relationships, for example, one driving component 222 may be disposed corresponding to one reflecting surface 221, or one driving component 222 may be disposed corresponding to a plurality of reflecting surfaces 221. The driving part 222 is fixedly connected with the substrate, the reflecting surface 221 is connected to the driving part 222, and the driving part 222 can receive an electric signal to drive the reflecting surface 221 to rotate.
Alternatively, the dimming structure 22 provided by an embodiment of the present application may be a digital micromirror device (Digtial Micromirror Devices, DMD). When the dimming structure 22 is a digital micromirror device, the first angle a between the reflective surface 221 of the dimming structure 22 and the substrate 10 is between 0 and 12 degrees. Illustratively, the first angle a between the reflective surface 221 and the substrate 10 may be 0 degrees, 10 degrees, or 12 degrees.
The digital micro-mirror device mainly comprises a reflecting mirror plate, a torsion arm beam, a hinge, an addressing electrode, a bias electrode, a static memory and the like. The reflector plate is connected with the torsion arm beam, the torsion arm beam is suspended on the two hinge support columns through the hinge, and the reflector plate can rotate around the hinge shaft. The hinge support posts are connected to bias electrodes that can provide a bias voltage to each mirror plate. Each mirror plate has two conductive channels. The addressing electrode of the torsion beam and the addressing electrode of the mirror plate are connected to the underlying static memory.
Each mirror plate is an independent body and can be turned over at different angles, so that the light reflected by the mirror plate can present different angles. When the digital micromirror device works, bias voltage (0 or 1) is applied to the reflecting mirror plate, so that an electrostatic field is formed between the reflecting mirror plate and the addressing electrode of the reflecting mirror plate, between the torsion arm beam and the addressing electrode of the torsion arm beam, and an electrostatic moment is generated, so that the reflecting mirror plate rotates around the torsion arm beam, and a corresponding deflection angle is achieved. Each mirror plate has three stable states: +12 degrees or +10 degrees, 0 °, -12 degrees or-10 degrees.
Fig. 4 is a schematic structural view of a backlight module in a first mode according to some embodiments of the present application, fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of a light reflection part of a reflection area of the backlight module in the first mode according to some embodiments of the present application, fig. 6 is a schematic structural view of a backlight module in a second mode according to some embodiments of the present application, and fig. 7 is a schematic structural view of a light reflection part of a reflection area of the backlight module in the second mode according to some embodiments of the present application.
With continued reference to fig. 4 to 7, in some embodiments, the backlight module has a first mode and a second mode, in the first mode, the driving component 222 drives at least part of the reflective surfaces 221 in each reflective region 21 to rotate, so that the second included angle b between at least part of the reflective surfaces 221 in each reflective region 21 and the first ray X is an acute angle, and the first ray X is a ray emitted from the geometric center of the reflective region 21 toward the light source 30 and perpendicular to the reflective layer 20; in the second mode, the driving component 222 drives at least part of the reflecting surfaces 221 in each reflecting area 21 to rotate, so that the third included angle c between at least part of the reflecting surfaces 221 in each reflecting area 21 and the first ray X is an obtuse angle.
As described above, the number of the dimming structures 22 in each reflection region 21 may be plural, and the plurality of dimming structures 22 are distributed in an array. The number of the light sources 30 may be plural, and the light sources 30 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the reflection areas 21. And, in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, the orthographic projection of the light source 30 on the reflective layer 20 is located at the geometric center of the reflective area 21. In order to more clearly describe the embodiments of the present application, the above-described configuration is described as an example.
Optionally, the first mode is a peep-proof mode, and the second mode is a normal display mode.
When the driving component 222 drives at least part of the reflective surfaces 221 in each reflective area 21 to rotate, a second included angle b is formed between at least part of the reflective surfaces 221 in each reflective area 21 and the first ray X, and the second included angle b is an acute angle, so that the reflective area 21 has a smaller light-emitting angle, and the backlight module also has a smaller light-emitting angle, so that the backlight module is in the peep-preventing mode.
When the driving component 222 drives at least part of the reflective surfaces 221 in each reflective area 21 to rotate, a third included angle c is formed between at least part of the reflective surfaces 221 in each reflective area 21 and the first ray X, and the third included angle c is an obtuse angle, so that the reflective area 21 has a larger light-emitting angle of view, and the backlight module also has a larger light-emitting angle of view, so that the backlight module is in a normal display mode.
Illustratively, the at least part of the reflective surfaces 221 in each reflective area 21 may be located in a plurality of positions, for example, at the edge of the reflective area 21, in an area other than the geometric center of the reflective area 21, or in an entire area of the reflective area 21. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific position of at least part of the reflective surface 221 in each reflective area 21, as long as the backlight module can be switched between the first mode and the second mode.
In the above technical solution, by adjusting the included angle between at least part of the reflective surfaces 221 in each reflective area 21 and the first ray X, the light reflection path of the reflective surface 221 can be changed, so that the reflective areas 21 have different light-emitting angles, and further the backlight module can have different light-emitting angles. When the included angle between at least part of the reflecting surfaces 221 in each reflecting area 21 and the first ray X is an acute angle, the reflecting areas 21 can have a smaller light-emitting field angle, and further the backlight module also has a smaller light-emitting field angle, and the backlight module is in the peep-proof mode. When the included angle between at least part of the reflecting surfaces 221 in each reflecting area 21 and the first ray X is an obtuse angle, the reflecting areas 21 can have a larger light-emitting field angle, and the backlight module can have a larger light-emitting field angle, so that the backlight module is in a normal display mode. Therefore, the backlight module can be switched between the peep-proof mode and the normal display mode through the scheme.

With continued reference to fig. 8-11, in some alternative embodiments, in the first mode, the driving component 222 drives the reflective surface 221 of each reflective region 21 near the edge of the reflective region 21 to rotate such that the reflective surface 221 near the edge of the reflective region 21 makes an acute angle with the second included angle b of the first ray X; in the second mode, the driving part 222 drives the reflective surface 221 near the edge of the reflective area 21 in each reflective area 21 to rotate so that the third included angle c between the reflective surface 221 near the edge of the reflective area 21 and the first ray X is an obtuse angle.
As described above, since the light source 30 is disposed corresponding to the geometric center of the reflection area 21, the reflection surface 221 near the edge of the reflection area 21 has a larger influence on the light emission angle size of the reflection area 21 than the reflection surface 221 near the geometric center of the reflection area 21.
Optionally, when the driving component 222 drives the reflective surface 221 near the edge of the reflective area 21 in each reflective area 21 to rotate, so that the reflective surface 221 near the edge of the reflective area 21 and the second angle b of the first ray X are acute angles, the reflective area 21 can have a smaller light-emitting field angle, and thus the backlight module also has a smaller light-emitting field angle, and the peep-proof effect of the backlight module can be further enhanced.
When the driving component 222 drives the reflective surface 221 near the edge of the reflective area 21 in each reflective area 21 to rotate, so that the reflective surface 221 near the edge of the reflective area 21 and the third angle c of the first ray X are obtuse angles, the reflective area 21 can have a larger light-emitting field angle, and the backlight module can also have a larger light-emitting field angle, so that the normal display effect of the backlight module can be further enhanced.
In the above technical solution, by adjusting the included angle between the reflective surface 221 of each reflective area 21 near the edge of the reflective area 21 and the first ray X, the peep preventing effect of the backlight module in the peep preventing mode and the normal display effect of the backlight module in the normal display mode can be further improved.

Alternatively, the color adjusting layer 50 can convert the light emitted from the light source 30 into white. As described above, the light source 30 may be, but is not limited to, a mini light emitting diode, a micro light emitting diode, an organic light emitting diode, or the like. In the embodiment of the present application, the light source 30 is a mini led.
Illustratively, the color of the light emitted by the mini light emitting diode may be, but is not limited to, blue, red, green, or the like. The color control layer 50 may be disposed in various ways, for example, the color control layer 50 may include a blue color conversion film capable of converting blue light into white light; the color modulation layer 50 may also include a red color conversion film capable of converting red light into white light; the color modulation layer 50 may further include a green color conversion film capable of converting green light into white light. Thus, in the embodiment provided by the present application, the color conversion film in the color adjustment layer 50 can be selected according to the color of the light emitted by the mini led.
In the above technical scheme, by arranging the color regulating layer 50 between the reflective layer 20 and the light guiding layer 40, the light emitted by the light source 30 can be converted into white, so that the color requirement of the light emitted by the backlight module can be met, and the light emitting quality of the backlight module is further improved.
Fig. 13 is a schematic structural diagram of a display panel according to some embodiments of the application.
With continued reference to fig. 13, based on the backlight module provided by the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application further provides a display panel, where the display panel includes an array substrate 100 and the backlight module provided by any one of the embodiments, and the array substrate 100 includes a substrate 110 and a driving device layer 120 disposed on one side of the substrate 110; the light source 30 is arranged on a side of the substrate 110 facing away from the driving device layer 120.
In the display panel provided by the embodiment of the application, the display panel comprises an array substrate 100 and a backlight module, the array substrate 100 comprises a substrate 110 and a driving device layer 120, and the driving device layer 120 is arranged on one side of the substrate 110. The driving device layer 120 includes a driving circuit for driving the light source 30 to emit light.
The light source 30 in the backlight module is disposed on a side of the substrate 110 facing away from the driving device layer 120, that is, the light source 30 and the driving device layer 120 share one substrate 110, the light source 30 emits light along a direction facing away from the driving device layer 120, and after the light reaches the reflective layer 20, the reflective layer 20 reflects the light along a direction facing toward the driving device layer 120, so as to provide backlight for the display panel.
Optionally, the substrate 110 is transparent, and the substrate 110 may be disposed in various manners, for example, the substrate 110 may be a rigid substrate 110, and the material of the substrate 110 includes a rigid material such as glass. Or the substrate 110 may be a flexible substrate 110, and the material of the substrate 110 includes a flexible material such as polyimide.
In some alternative embodiments, the display panel includes a plurality of pixel units; in the area corresponding to the reflective area 21, the number of pixel units is greater than the number of dimming structures 22.
Illustratively, the display panel provided by the embodiment of the application comprises a plurality of pixel units, wherein the plurality of pixel units are formed on the substrate 110 and are arranged in an array structure, and the light-emitting colors of the plurality of pixel units include, but are not limited to, blue, red, green and the like. In the area corresponding to the reflective area 21, the number of pixel units is greater than the number of dimming structures 22. I.e. the number of orthographic projections of the plurality of pixel units on the reflective layer 20 is smaller than the number of dimming structures 22 in the thickness direction of the display panel.
In the above technical solution, since the light reflected by each dimming structure 22 has a certain area range, the light reflected by each dimming structure 22 can make the pixel units located in the light area range emit light, and each dimming structure 22 can correspondingly meet the light emitting requirements of a plurality of pixel units, so that the number of the pixel units is set to be greater than that of the dimming structures 22, which can avoid the resource waste caused by setting too many dimming structures 22 and reduce the manufacturing cost of the display panel.
Fig. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a control method of a display panel according to some embodiments of the application.
With continued reference to fig. 14, based on the display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application, the embodiment of the present application further provides a control method of a display panel, where the control method of the display panel includes:
Step S01, a state to be displayed of the display panel is obtained.

Step S03, when the state to be displayed is the first display state, controlling the reflecting surfaces in the reflecting areas to be in a first preset state so as to enable the reflecting areas to have a first field angle.
Step S04, when the state to be displayed is the second display state, controlling the reflecting surfaces in the reflecting areas to be in a second preset state so as to enable the reflecting areas to have a second field angle.
Wherein the first angle of view is less than the second angle of view.
There are various sequential arrangements of the step S03 and the step S04, for example, the step S03 may be performed before or after the step S04, and the step S03 and the step S04 may be performed simultaneously.
In the control method of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the application, corresponding to different display states, the inclination shape of the reflecting surface in each reflecting area comprises a first preset state and a second preset state. Optionally, when the display state is a first preset state, each reflection area has a first field angle; when the display state is a second preset state, each reflection area has a second field angle. Wherein the first angle of view is less than the second angle of view.
In the process of controlling the display panel, the view angle of each reflection area can be adjusted according to the state to be displayed of the display panel. The to-be-displayed state of the display panel includes a first display state and a second display state. The first display state is, for example, a peep-proof state, and the second display state is, for example, a normal display state.
For example, the driving part of the dimming structure can control the reflecting surface in each reflecting area to be in a first preset state so as to enable each reflecting area to have a first field angle; for another example, the driving part of the dimming structure can control the reflecting surface in each reflecting area to be in a second preset state so that each reflecting area has a second field angle.
When the state to be displayed of the display panel is the peep-proof state, the driving part of the dimming structure can control the reflecting surfaces in the reflecting areas to be in a first preset state, so that each reflecting area has a first view angle, and the first view angle is smaller to enable the backlight module to be in the peep-proof mode, and further enable the display panel to achieve the peep-proof effect; when the to-be-displayed state of the display panel is a normal display state, the driving component of the dimming structure can control the reflecting surfaces in the reflecting areas to be in a second preset state, so that each reflecting area has a second view angle, and the second view angle is larger to enable the backlight module to be in a normal display mode, and further the display panel can display normally.
In the technical scheme, the driving part of the dimming structure controls the reflecting surfaces in the reflecting areas to be in different preset states so as to adjust the angle of view of each reflecting area, so that the display state of the display panel can be switched between the peep-proof state and the normal display state.
In some embodiments, step S02 includes:
Controlling the included angle between at least part of reflecting surfaces in each reflecting area and the first ray as a target included angle, wherein the first ray is a ray which exits from the geometric center of the reflecting area towards the light source and is perpendicular to the reflecting layer; when the state to be displayed is a first display state, the target included angle is an acute angle; and when the state to be displayed is the second display state, the target included angle is an obtuse angle.
As described above, each reflection region in the reflection layer includes a plurality of reflection surfaces, and the plurality of reflection surfaces are distributed in an array. The number of the light sources is multiple, and the light sources are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the reflection areas. The orthographic projection of the light source on the reflecting layer is positioned at the geometric center of the reflecting area along the direction vertical to the substrate.
The first ray is a ray which exits from the geometric center of the reflection area towards the light source and is perpendicular to the reflection layer.
In some embodiments, the first display state is, for example, a peep-proof state, and the second display state is, for example, a normal display state.
In step S02, according to the state to be displayed of the display panel, the driving component of the dimming structure may control the target included angle between at least part of the reflective surfaces in each reflective region and the first ray to be an acute angle or an obtuse angle. When the target included angle is an acute angle, each reflection area has a smaller field angle so that the backlight module is in a peep-proof mode, and the display panel achieves the peep-proof effect; when the target included angle is an obtuse angle, each reflection area has a larger field angle so that the backlight module is in a normal display mode, and the display panel can display normally.
The positions of at least part of the reflecting surfaces in the reflecting areas can be various, for example, the positions can be located at the edges of the reflecting areas, the positions can be located in areas except the geometric center of the reflecting areas, and the positions can be the whole areas of the reflecting areas. The embodiment of the application does not limit the specific positions of at least part of the reflecting surfaces in each reflecting area, so long as the display panel can be switched between the peep-proof state and the normal display state.
In some alternative embodiments, controlling the included angle between at least part of the reflective surfaces in each reflective region and the first ray to be a target included angle includes:
And controlling the included angle between the reflecting surface, close to the edge of the reflecting area, in each reflecting area and the first ray to be a target included angle.
The light source is disposed corresponding to the geometric center of the reflective area, and the inclination angle of the reflective surface near the edge of the reflective area has a larger influence on the light-emitting field angle of the backlight module than the inclination angle of the reflective surface near the geometric center of the reflective area. Therefore, when the driving part drives the reflecting surface, close to the edge of the reflecting area, in each reflecting area to rotate, so that the included angle between the reflecting surface, close to the edge of the reflecting area, and the first ray is an acute angle, the peep-proof effect of the display panel can be further enhanced; when the driving part drives the reflecting surface, close to the edge of the reflecting area, in each reflecting area to rotate, so that the included angle between the reflecting surface, close to the edge of the reflecting area, and the first ray is an obtuse angle, the normal display effect of the display panel can be further enhanced.
According to the technical scheme, the included angle between the reflecting surface, close to the edge of the reflecting area, in each reflecting area and the first ray is adjusted through the dimming structure, so that the size of the emergent view angle of the display panel is controlled, and the peeping prevention effect and the normal display effect of the display panel can be further enhanced.
