Description

Polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film and OLED display device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of OLED, in particular to a high-molecular liquid crystal brightness enhancement film for improving the light emitting efficiency of an OLED display device and the OLED display device.
Background
Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) have the advantages of flexible fabrication, low driving voltage, low power consumption, and the like, and have a rapid technological advance and wide application prospects in recent years, making them the hottest display devices in flat panel display, novel lighting, wearable, and intelligent electronic product development.
In the OLED display device, since light emitted from the OLED light-emitting layer is absorbed and dissipated when passing through the circular polarizer, the light emitted from the light-emitting layer of the OLED display is not high in utilization rate, and in order to achieve the use brightness, only the driving current of the light-emitting material in the OLED display can be increased, so that the purpose of increasing the brightness is achieved.
For the light emitting layer of the existing OLED display, when the OLED display is used for outdoor or vehicle-mounted display, the OLED material is required to operate at high power, and the service life of any one material is reduced, so that the whole OLED display fails. Due to the upgrade of hardware of the mobile phone at the present stage and the coming of the 5G era, the mobile phone increases the power consumption of the mobile phone, reduces the standby time, increases the use degree of the battery and most intuitively shows that the use time of the battery is shortened while the performances of the mobile phone in all aspects are improved. In addition, the reflection spectrum of the brightness enhancement film of the current-stage OLED display equipment only aims at a blue waveband or a red-green-blue three-primary-color waveband, the emergence efficiency of the polarizer can be effectively increased only for part of light which vertically or nearly vertically emerges, and the optical brightness enhancement for part of light which obliquely emerges is small. The invention comprehensively improves the utilization rate of visible light wave band light of the light emitting layer of the OLED display.
The special spiral structure of the cholesteric liquid crystal material determines the special optical characteristics thereof, and can split the light of a reflection waveband into left-handed circular polarized light and right-handed circular polarized light, and the left-handed circular polarized light and the right-handed circular polarized light can be changed into linear polarized light after being converted by a phase delay film. The reflection wavelength of the liquid crystal satisfies the Bragg equation, and the central reflection wavelength lambda is proportional to the helix moment p of the liquid crystal material and the average refractive index n thereof: λ = np, due to the dielectric anisotropy, refractive index n, of the liquid crystal material o And n e The average refractive index (n) is (2 n) o +n e )/3. For example, if n =2 of the cholesteric liquid crystal is such that it can reflect normally incident visible light with a visible wavelength λ =550nm, the helix moment should be about 275nm. The relationship between the pitch p of the liquid crystal material and the helical twisting power constant (HTP) of the chiral admixture and the content Xc of the chiral admixture in the liquid crystal composition is that p = [ (HTP) Xc] -1 . According to the average refractive index (n) of the cholesteric liquid crystal material, the central reflection wavelength (lambda) and the spiral twisting force constant (HTP) of the chiral dopant, the concentration of the chiral dopant in the chiral nematic liquid crystal or cholesteric liquid crystal mixed crystal can be calculated, and light with different wavelengths can be reflected by different concentrations of the chiral dopant.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the above technical problems, a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film and an OLED display device for improving the light-emitting efficiency of the OLED display device, so as to solve the problems in the prior art that the utilization rate of light emitted from the light-emitting layer of the OLED display is not high, the energy consumption is high, the conventional brightness enhancement film can only enhance a part of visible light with a specific wavelength range, and the gain of the brightness of the oblique emitted light is not large. Since the reflection wavelength λ is proportional to the pitch p of the liquid crystal material and its average refractive index n and the cosine of the incident angle when the light is obliquely incident: λ = nPcos θ. When the emergent light angle is large, the reflection wavelength is blue-shifted, and a brightness enhancement film for reflecting red-shifted wavelength is needed to increase the reflection, so that a chiral nematic or cholesteric liquid crystal film capable of continuously reflecting obliquely emergent visible light is needed to increase the transmittance of the emergent light.

In the invention, the polymerizable liquid crystal monomer can be mixed with the polymerizable chiral dopant to form a supermolecular helical structure, so that the cholesteric phase or chiral nematic phase liquid crystal film is prepared. The polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystal contains non-liquid crystal state components, but the mixed crystal phase finally formed after mixing is a cholesteric phase or a chiral nematic phase. The polymerizable chiral dopant has a polymerizable group, and after being doped into liquid crystal mixed crystal, the polymerizable chiral dopant causes a helical arrangement structure of liquid crystal molecules to form chiral nematic phase or cholesteric phase liquid crystal, so that the stability and the reliability of the polymer liquid crystal film can be improved.
Further, the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is a chiral nematic or cholesteric polymer liquid crystal film obtained by uniformly coating a plurality of polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystals at the same time to form a coating in interlayer contact, wherein the polymerizable chiral dopants contained in each polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystal have different concentrations, and a single-layer coating with the polymerizable chiral dopant concentration changing along the direction vertical to the coating along with the diffusion of the polymerizable chiral dopants among the layers is formed, and then the single-layer coating is polymerized. The concentration difference of the chiral dopants between two adjacent layers is 0.01 to 10 percent.
Further, the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is a multilayer composite brightness enhancement film obtained by sticking and compounding a plurality of chiral nematic or cholesteric polymer liquid crystal films which are prepared in advance and used for reflecting visible light with different wave bands;

The polymerization is initiated by light, heat or cation.
The preparation of the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film has three modes, specifically as follows:
the first scheme is as follows: a brightness enhancement film is a chiral nematic phase or cholesteric phase polymer liquid crystal film prepared by simultaneously coating a plurality of polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystals and drying and polymerizing; the concentrations of chiral dopants contained in the various polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystals are different, and along with the diffusion of the chiral dopants, a pitch gradient is formed in the polymer liquid crystal brightening film along the direction vertical to the thin film, so that the single-layer polymer liquid crystal brightening film is obtained.
Scheme II: or the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is prepared into a plurality of chiral nematic phase or cholesteric phase polymer liquid crystal films which reflect visible light with different wave bands respectively, and then the different films prepared in advance are pasted and compounded to obtain the multilayer composite brightness enhancement film.
The third scheme is as follows: or on the basis of a layer of chiral nematic or cholesteric polymer liquid crystal film prepared in advance, polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystals containing chiral dopants with different concentrations are adopted for multiple coating-polymerization, and a single-layer brightness enhancement film with multiple screw pitches is obtained.
The concentrations of chiral dopants in the various polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystals are different, the prepared thread pitch determines the reflection wavelength, the range of the reflection wavelength can be adjusted according to a formula lambda = np, so that the reflection wavelengths can be just mutually connected, and the visible light wave bands obliquely emergent at various angles and the infrared light wave bands vertically emergent are continuously reflected. The polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film continuously reflects visible light through superposition of polymer liquid crystal films with a pitch gradient or multiple pitches; is different from the prior brightness enhancement film which reflects single color or three primary colors.
The thickness of the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is 3-70 um; the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film inevitably reflects continuously between 435 nm and 660nm, and the continuous reflection visible light wave width is larger than 245nm. Of course, outside the inevitable reflection region, all visible light can be reflected continuously, or part of visible light can be reflected, or a small part of infrared band can be reflected according to the use requirement, and the reflection wavelength is between 380nm and 2000 nm.
In order to enhance the light emitting efficiency of the oblique emergent light of the red, green and blue three primary colors of the OLED display, the reflection bandwidth of the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is purposefully widened towards the long wave direction, so that the light emitted by the oblique emergent OLED display equipment is improved, the light is not limited to the reflection bandwidth of the red, green and blue three primary colors of the OLED display device, and the reflectivity of the continuous reflection waveband of the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is larger than 25%.
Furthermore, the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film can increase the light emitting efficiency of oblique emergent light, and the angle range of the oblique emergent light is 0-60 degrees.
The invention also provides an OLED display device, which comprises the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film, wherein the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is arranged on one side of the light emitting layer of the OLED display device.
Further, the OLED display device further comprises a light emitting layer, a phase retardation film and a linear polarizer along the light emitting direction, and the polymer liquid crystal brightening film is arranged between the light emitting layer and the phase retardation film.
The OLED display device comprises a linear polarizer, a phase delay film, a brightness enhancement film, an OLED light-emitting panel and a metal electrode; the spiral direction in the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is matched with the absorption axis of the linear polarizer; the light emitted by the organic layer of the OLED display selectively passes through the right-handed circular polarized light and reflects the left-handed circular polarized light through the brightness enhancement film, or passes through the left-handed circular polarized light and reflects the right-handed circular polarized light, the passed circular polarized light is converted into light perpendicular to the absorption axis of the linear polarizer through the phase retardation film to be emitted, the opposite-handed circular polarized light which does not pass through the brightness enhancement film can be reflected by the brightness enhancement film to rebound to the metal electrode, the rotation of the rebounded circular polarized light can be changed through the reflection of the metal electrode, the rotation of the rebounded circular polarized light is converted into the rotation capable of passing through the brightness enhancement film, and the rotation is emitted to the outside through the brightness enhancement film, the phase retardation film and the linear polarizer. Furthermore, the OLED display device also comprises a connecting layer arranged among the luminescent layer, the brightness enhancement film, the phase retardation film and the linear polarizer; the connecting layer is an optical adhesive bonding layer and is required to avoid optical birefringence, stress birefringence and optical interference and diffraction;
further, the light emitting layer is emitted by an organic light emitting diode.
Further, the phase retardation film is a single quarter-phase retardation film or a quarter-phase retardation film and a half-phase retardation film which are combined, and other phase retardation films.
Compared with the prior art, the high polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film provided by the invention can effectively solve the problem of rapid reduction of screen brightness caused by increase of a visual angle due to broadening of the reflection bandwidth of the high polymer liquid crystal film.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the reflection wavelength of the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film for the OLED is 380-2000nm, the emergent light inclined at various angles between 435-660nm is inevitably and continuously reflected, the continuous reflection visible light bandwidth is larger than 225nm, and all or part of visible light or a small part of infrared wave band can be continuously reflected outside an inevitable reflection area; the high-molecular liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is matched with other elements, the aim of enhancing the brightness can be achieved without enhancing the driving current of a luminescent material in an OLED display, the power consumption of a screen is reduced, the high-molecular liquid crystal brightness enhancement film has social significance of energy conservation and environmental protection, and the service life of portable equipment can be prolonged.
2. The high polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film disclosed by the invention is matched with other elements, so that the brightness of a screen can be increased under the condition of not increasing the power consumption, and the light-emitting rate of an OLED organic layer is greatly improved. For OLED display devices with the same brightness, the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film provided by the invention can reduce the driving current of the luminescent materials in the OLED display, and can simultaneously prolong the service life of all the luminescent materials in the OLED display. Different from a cholesteric liquid crystal brightness enhancement film only reflecting at a specific wavelength, the polymer liquid crystal film can enhance the light emitting efficiency of oblique emergent light.
3. In the polymeric liquid crystal brightness enhancement film of the present invention, the concentration of the chiral dopant in the cholesteric phase or chiral nematic phase liquid crystal doped with chiral molecules is different between the layers, and thus the concentration difference of the chiral dopant exists in the polymerized cholesteric phase or chiral nematic phase thin film. The concentration of the chiral dopant determines the pitch of a cholesteric phase or chiral nematic phase liquid crystal phase, so that the pitch changes along with the change of the concentration of the chiral dopant in the vertical direction of the brightness enhancement film, the brightness enhancement film can necessarily and continuously reflect light between 435 and 660nm, the bandwidth of the continuously reflected visible light is larger than 225nm, all or part of visible light or a small part of infrared wave band can also be continuously reflected outside a necessary reflection area, and the reflection wavelength is between 380nm and 2000 nm.
4. In the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film, the polymer liquid crystal film is prepared by a multilayer compounding or multilayer coating mode, and because the reflection bandwidth of chiral nematic phase or cholesteric phase liquid crystal is narrow, (the reflection bandwidth is delta lambda = delta nP, delta n is the birefringence index of mixed liquid crystal, and P is the screw pitch of the mixed liquid crystal), the liquid crystal using common birefringence index usually needs 4~5 layers or repeated coating 4~5 times or more, and then the visible light wave band can be continuously reflected. If a large deltan liquid crystal material is used, deltan is more than 0.4, only 2 layers or coating times are needed, and only two pitches exist in the polymer liquid crystal film.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The brightness enhancement film is a short name of a high polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film.
The experimental methods described in the following examples are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified; the reagents and materials are commercially available, unless otherwise specified.
Referring to fig. 1, a polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film is a chiral nematic or cholesteric polymer liquid crystal film prepared from a plurality of polymerizable liquid crystals;
according to the weight percentage, each polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystal is prepared from the following raw materials:
0.3 to 98.0 percent of polymerizable chiral dopant, 0.3 to 5 percent of initiator and 0 to 98.2 percent of polymerizable liquid crystal monomer. In the invention, the polymerizable liquid crystal monomer comprises a polymerizable nematic liquid crystal monomer and a polymerizable cholesteric liquid crystal monomer.
The concentrations of polymerizable chiral dopants contained in the various polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystals are different, so that different screw pitches are formed in the brightening film along the direction vertical to the thin film; the pitch length varies from 0.1 to 0.8 μm. The brightness enhancement film can continuously reflect light in a visible light wave band and an infrared light wave band, and the reflectivity is larger than 25%.
The chiral dopant is a polymerizable compound monomer with a chiral center or a chiral structure, such as binaphthol, isosorbide and derivatives thereof; the structure and performance profile of the partially chiral dopants is shown in table 1.

The chiral dopant concentration (Xc) depends on the wavelength (λ) to be reflected, the average refractive index (n) of the polymer liquid crystal film, and the helical twisting power constant (HTP) of the chiral dopant. According to the formula λ = nP, P = 1/(htp.xc), λ = n/(htp.xc) is given. The polymerizable chiral monomer applied to the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film provided by the embodiment of the invention is selected according to factors such as solubility, compatibility, refractive index, low haze and low viscosity of the chiral dopant in the liquid crystal mixed crystal.
The initiator is benzoin dimethyl ether (IRG 651). The embodiment of the invention is represented by benzoin dimethyl ether (IRG 651) according to the factors of the initiating mechanism of the initiator, the excitation wavelength, the residue after the reaction, the volatile matters released after the reaction and the like, and the effect of the reagent applied to the polymer liquid crystal brightness enhancement film described in the embodiment of the invention.
The polymerizable liquid crystal monomer is a polymerizable liquid crystal monomer containing any one of the following polymerizable groups: acrylates and methacrylates. The embodiment of the invention uses C6M, C4M, C3M, C B to illustrate the effect.
In the process of preparing the brightness enhancement film, since the reflection bandwidth of the polymeric liquid crystal film is generally 40 to 80nm, in order to widen the reflection bandwidth of the brightness enhancement film, a sufficiently wide pitch gradient is usually formed in the polymeric film or a plurality of polymeric liquid crystal films reflecting different wavelengths are compounded for use. Or a large delta n liquid crystal material is used, the delta n is more than 0.4, and for the reflection bandwidth of 435 to 660nm, only 2 layers or coating is needed.
The preparation method of the brightness enhancement film comprises the following steps:
1) The preparation of the single-layer brightness enhancement film is that the polymerizable liquid crystal mixed crystals with chiral dopants of different concentrations are simultaneously subjected to multi-layer uniform coating to form a coating in contact between layers, liquid crystal molecules are diffused among the coatings, the chiral dopants are also diffused among the layers, and the single-layer coating with the chiral molecule concentration changing is formed in the direction vertical to the coating at a proper time and temperature. Wherein the polymerization process is initiated by light, heat or cations. Specifically, the coating mode is that a gradient flow coating or multilayer extrusion coating or multilayer spraying method is utilized to mix polymerizable liquid crystals doped with chiral molecules with different concentrations, the mixed crystals are simultaneously and uniformly coated on the base film in a multilayer mode, and the cholesteric phase or chiral nematic phase liquid crystal film doped with the chiral molecules is obtained through polymerization. Wherein, the multilayer coating can be 2-8 layers.
