The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a first embodiment of an electrowetting film layer provided in the present application, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a plurality of electrode groups shown in fig. 1.
The electrowetting film layer 11 includes a first substrate 111, a second substrate 112, a plurality of dimming cells 113, a face electrode 114, and a plurality of electrode groups 115.
The second substrate 112 is disposed opposite to the first substrate 111. Optionally, the first substrate 111 and the second substrate 112 are transparent substrates; such as glass, plastic. Alternatively, the first substrate 111 is disposed in parallel with the second substrate 112.
The plurality of dimming cells 113 are located between the first substrate 111 and the second substrate 112. Each dimming cell 113 includes a memory region 1131 and an opening region 1132. The storage region 1131 is provided with a storage chamber 1131a, and the storage chamber 1131a stores the toner liquid therein. The toning liquid includes at least one of quantum dots or absorbing dyes, fluorescent materials, that is, the toning liquid is composed of a material dispersion liquid capable of realizing high color gamut display. Optionally, the cavity walls of storage cavity 1131a have hydrophobic properties. Optionally, both ends of the cavity wall of the storage cavity 1131a are provided with hydrophobic layers. Optionally, the wall of the storage cavity 1131a is electronic paper.
The surface electrode 114 is arranged on the surface of the first substrate 111, which is close to the second substrate 112; the surface electrode 114 is a transparent electrode. The plurality of electrode groups 115 are disposed on the surface of the second substrate 112 near the first substrate 111, and the plurality of electrode groups 115 are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of dimming units 113. The surface electrode 114 and the electrode group 115 control the amount of the toner liquid in the storage chamber 1131a moving to the opening region 1132 and the hydrophilic state of the toner liquid in cooperation with the driving circuit. The color matching liquid in the opening area 1132 is irradiated by a light source 14 (the light source 14 is the light source 14 of the backlight module 1 described later), and emits or absorbs light, so as to realize adjustment of color gamut; for example, the color matching liquid in the opening region 1132 can emit RG light with a narrow peak after being irradiated by the light source, so as to improve the color gamut of the display device. The surface electrode 114 and the electrode groups 115 are connected to a driving circuit (the driving circuit is located outside the electrowetting film layer 11) through wires, and the magnitude of the voltage applied to each electrode group 115 can be controlled through a passive driving mode, so that the amount of the toner moving to the opening area 1132 and the hydrophilic state of the toner are controlled.
The principle of color gamut adjustment by the color matching liquid is to use the hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of the liquid when the liquid is powered or not powered to realize movement of the liquid or control the contact areas of the liquid and the first and second substrates 111 and 112. By applying an electrical signal to the face electrode 114, different electrical signals are applied to different electrode sets 115, controlling the movement of the toning liquid from the storage cavity 1131a to the open area 1132 and the amount of movement, or controlling the movement of the toning liquid from the open area 1132 to the liquid storage cavity 1131a and the amount of movement, or controlling the hydrophilic state of the toning liquid within the storage cavity 1131a and/or the open area 1132. When the color gamut adjustment is not needed, the color matching liquid is stored in the storage cavity 1131a, and the opening area 1132 is free of the color matching liquid, that is, the electrowetting film layer 11 provided by the application can also serve as a switch for the color gamut adjustment.
The electrode group 115 includes a first stripe electrode 1151 and a second stripe electrode 1152, the first stripe electrode 1151 is disposed corresponding to the storage cavity 1131a, and the second stripe electrode 1152 is disposed corresponding to the opening region 1132. The first stripe electrodes 1151 are transparent electrodes, and the second stripe electrodes 1152 are transparent electrodes. The hydrophilic state of the toner in the storage cavity 1131a and the amount of the toner flowing to the opening region 1132 are controlled by applying an electric signal to the first stripe electrode 1151 by the driving circuit. The second strip electrode 1152 is applied with an electric signal by the driving circuit, and the hydrophilic state of the color-adjusting liquid in the opening region 1132 is controlled, so that the light of the light source 14 can uniformly pass through the color-adjusting liquid. It will be appreciated that since each electrode set 115 is independently controlled, adjustment of the color gamut of the sub-regions can be achieved, with the size of the sub-regions being designed as desired.
Optionally, the width of the first strip electrode 1151 is smaller than the width of the second strip electrode 1152, and the first strip electrode 1151 and the second strip electrode 1152 are disposed coplanar.
Optionally, the storage area 1131 is disposed side by side with the opening area 1132, and the first strip electrode 1151 is disposed side by side with the second strip electrode 1152.
Optionally, the first strip electrode 1151 is a first rectangle, the second strip electrode 1152 is a second rectangle, the length of the first rectangle is the same as the length of the second rectangle, and the width of the first rectangle is smaller than the width of the second rectangle. Illustratively, the first and second strip electrodes 1151, 1152 are aligned and disposed side by side along the width direction thereof.
Optionally, the plurality of electrode sets 115 are arranged coplanar.
Optionally, the plurality of dimming units 113 are arranged in an array; the plurality of dimming cells 113 are arranged in a square array, and are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, for example. Accordingly, the plurality of electrode groups 115 are arranged in an array in the same manner as the dimming cells 113.
With continued reference to fig. 1, the electrowetting film layer 11 further includes a first hydrophobic layer 116, a second hydrophobic layer 117, and a plurality of opaque masking blocks 118.
The surface electrode 114 is provided with a first hydrophobic layer 116 near the surface of the second substrate 112, the surface of the plurality of electrode groups 115 near the first substrate 111 is provided with a second hydrophobic layer 117, and two ends of the cavity wall of the storage cavity 1131a are respectively contacted with the first hydrophobic layer 116 and the second hydrophobic layer 117. The toning liquid is not in contact with the face electrode 114 and the electrode group 115, and the toning liquid is in contact with the first hydrophobic layer 116 and/or the second hydrophobic layer 117.
The shielding block 118 is disposed on the surface of the second substrate 112 far away from the first substrate 111, and the shielding block 118 covers the storage cavity 1131a, so as to prevent the light emitted from the light source 14 irradiated onto the color matching liquid in the storage cavity 1131a from affecting the normal display effect when the display device does not need to perform color gamut adjustment. Optionally, the occlusion block 118 is black.

By arranging the buffer area 1133, the color matching liquid in the storage cavity 1131a of the storage area 1131 is transported to the opening area 1132 in a point-to-point dividing way in the buffer area 1133 so as to control the amount of the color matching liquid in the opening area 1132, thereby realizing the control of the color gamut adjusting amplitude and further realizing better color matching effect. The buffer 1133 is controlled to divide the amount of the toner and the hydrophilic state of the toner by applying an electric signal to the third strip electrode 1153 through the driving circuit.
Optionally, the opening area 1132, the buffer 1133, and the storage area 1131 are sequentially arranged side by side, and the second strip electrode 1152, the third strip electrode 1153, and the first strip electrode 1152 are sequentially arranged side by side.
