In order to facilitate understanding, a display module and a display device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structure diagram of a display module according to an embodiment of the disclosure is provided, where the display module includes a backlight module 100, a dimming liquid crystal cell 102 and a display liquid crystal cell 104. The backlight module 100 is used for emitting light beams (with arrow lines in fig. 1), the dimming liquid crystal box 102 and the display liquid crystal box 104 are located at one side of the backlight module 100, and normal display of images is achieved by controlling deflection of liquid crystal molecules in the display liquid crystal box 104.
The direction from the backlight module 100 to the dimming liquid crystal box 102 is a stacking direction, the dimming liquid crystal box 102 comprises a dimming microstructure layer and a peep-proof liquid crystal layer 1022 which are sequentially stacked along the stacking direction, the dimming microstructure layer comprises a plurality of dimming microstructures 1021, one side of the dimming microstructures 1021 away from the backlight module 100 is provided with a target surface, and the target surface can be a curved surface or a plane.
In this embodiment of the present application, the state of the display module may be switched between the sharing state and the peep-proof state, when the display module is in the sharing state, the liquid crystal molecules in the peep-proof liquid crystal layer 1022 may be, for example, positive liquid crystal, the liquid crystal molecules are in a lying state, that is, the included angle between the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules and the stacking direction is close to 90 °, the light emitted by the backlight module 100 enters the human eye through the dimming liquid crystal box 102 and the display liquid crystal box 104, when the human eye views the front surface of the display panel, the light is refracted out through the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules, and when the side surface of the display panel views the side surface, the light is refracted out through the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules, and the user can normally view the display screen on the front surface and the side surface of the display panel.
The liquid crystal molecules have a double refractive index characteristic, and when the display module is in a sharing state, the refractive index of the peep-proof liquid crystal layer 1022 is the long axis refractive index of the liquid crystal molecules, namely the e light refractive index (n e ) The refractive index of the dimming microstructure 1021 is less than the first refractive index, denoted as the first refractive index. Specifically, when the light has a refractive index of n 1 Is incident into a medium with refractive index n 2 When in medium of (2), the refractive index formula is n 1 sinθ 1 =n 2 sinθ 2 Wherein θ 1 For incident angle, theta 2 Is the angle of refraction. In the sharing state, n 1 Is the refractive index of the micro-lens structure, n2 is the first refractive index n e ,n e Greater than n 1 Theta is then 2 Less than theta 1 . Referring to FIG. 2, a schematic diagram of deflection of light after passing through a plano-convex lens is shown, wherein a dotted line represents a normal line, and an angle between an incident light and the normal line is an incident angle θ 1 The included angle between the refracted ray and the normal is the refraction angle theta 2 The collimated backlight beam incident on the micro-lens structure is deflected towards two sides after being refracted by the micro-lens structure, so that the viewing angle in the sharing state is widened.
When the light beam emitted from the backlight module 100 enters the peep-proof liquid crystal layer 1022 through the dimming microstructure 1021, the light beam entering the dimming microstructure layer can be diffused according to the refractive index relation of the light beam and the dimming microstructure 1021 of which the target surface is a curved surface or a plane, so that the light with the viewing angle within +/-30 degrees is effectively utilized, the light with the viewing angle within +/-30 degrees is diffused to an area outside +/-30 degrees, the uniformity of the brightness distribution of the viewing angle is improved, the brightness of the viewing angle in a sharing state is improved, and the use experience of a user is improved.
In one possible implementation, when the target surface of the dimming microstructure 1021 is a curved surface, the dimming microstructure 1021 may be a plano-convex lens, and a plane in the plano-convex lens mirror is close to the backlight module 100, as shown in fig. 1. If the length of the plano-convex lens is less than 8 microns, the number of plano-convex lenses can be increased, the process cost is increased to cause waste, if the length of the plano-convex lens is greater than 15 microns, the curved surface of the plano-convex lens can be more gentle, and the divergence effect on the light beam entering the plano-convex lens is poor, so that the length of the plano-convex lens can be greater than or equal to 8 microns and less than or equal to 15 microns, and therefore, the light beam entering the dimming microstructure layer can be diverged, the cost can be reduced, and the process waste can be avoided.
In another possible implementation manner, when the target surface of the dimming microstructure 1021 is a curved surface, the dimming microstructure 1021 may also be a fresnel lens, where the fresnel lens is lighter in weight and thinner in thickness, and the quality and thickness of the display module can be reduced, and the fresnel lens has many inclined surfaces with larger inclination, and the diverging effect of the fresnel lens on the incident beam is better than that of the plano-convex lens. The plane in the fresnel lens is close to the backlight module 100, and referring to fig. 3, a schematic structural diagram of another display module provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the dimming microstructure is the fresnel lens. Of course, the dimming microstructure 1021 may be other structures, as long as the light beam incident on the dimming microstructure layer can be diverged.
In this embodiment of the present application, the interval between two adjacent light modulation microstructures 1021 in the plurality of light modulation microstructures 1021 may be smaller than or equal to 2 micrometers, and may be reduced as much as possible to improve the divergence effect of the micro lens structure on the light beam, for example, the plurality of light modulation microstructures 1021 are arranged next to each other, and referring to fig. 4, a schematic structural diagram of another display module provided in this embodiment of the present application is shown, and a plurality of plano-convex lenses are arranged next to each other.
In this embodiment of the present application, the target surface of the dimming microstructure 1021 may be not only a curved surface, but also a plane, and when the target surface is a plane, the included angle between the plane and the stacking direction may be greater than 0 ° and less than 90 °, that is, the target surface is an inclined plane, so that the manufacturing of the dimming microstructure 1021 may be simplified, and the cost is reduced.
In one possible implementation manner, when the target surface of the dimming microstructure 1021 is a plane, the dimming microstructure 1021 may be a prism, such as a triple prism, a tetra prism, etc., and the prism is manufactured in a simpler manner, so that the cost is low, and the manufacturing cost of the display module can be reduced. Referring to fig. 5, a schematic structural diagram of another display module provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, where a plane of the prism, which is close to the backlight module 100, is perpendicular to a stacking direction of the dimming liquid crystal cell 102 from the backlight module 100. Referring to fig. 6, a schematic structural diagram of another display module provided in an embodiment of the present application, a plurality of prisms may be arranged next to each other. Referring to fig. 7, a schematic diagram of deflection of light after passing through a prism is shown, and a collimated backlight beam incident to the prism is deflected to two sides after being refracted by the prism, so that the viewing angle in a sharing state is widened.
In this embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the dimming liquid crystal box 102 may be specifically set to be 4 μm, the dimming microstructure 1021 is a plano-convex lens, the refractive index of the plano-convex lens is 1.55, the length of the plano-convex lens is 8 μm, the height of the plano-convex lens is 3.5 μm, and the distance between two adjacent plano-convex lenses is 2 μm, so that a proper distance is provided between the adjacent plano-convex lenses, which not only can have a better divergence effect on the aligned backlight beam, but also can save the cost. Referring to fig. 8, a contrast diagram of view brightness is shown, curve 1 is the view brightness variation in the sharing state in the prior art, curve 2 is the view brightness variation after the dimming liquid crystal cell provided in the embodiment of the present application is adopted, the abscissa represents the angle (in °), and the ordinate represents the brightness (in nit).
When the angle is 45 degrees, the brightness corresponding to the curve 1 is 200nit, the brightness corresponding to the curve 2 is 1080nit, the brightness is improved by 440% when the angle is 45 degrees in the sharing state, the brightness corresponding to the curve 1 is 80nit, the brightness is 650nit when the angle is 50 degrees, the brightness is improved by 712% when the angle is 50 degrees in the sharing state, and the view angle brightness is obviously improved in the large view angle. When the angle is 4 degrees, the brightness corresponding to the curve 1 is 12200nit, the brightness corresponding to the curve 2 is 9200nit, and the brightness is reduced by 25% when the angle is 4 degrees in the sharing state, so that the light is deflected to two sides through the micro lens structure, the brightness in a small view angle is weakened, the brightness in a large view angle is improved, the brightness uniformity is improved, and the display effect in the sharing state is improved.

In this embodiment of the present application, when the display module is in the peep-proof state, the liquid crystal molecules in the peep-proof liquid crystal layer 1022 are in a standing state under the action of the electric field, that is, the included angle between the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules and the stacking direction is smaller, as shown in fig. 9, which is a schematic structural diagram of another display module provided in this embodiment of the present application, the liquid crystal molecules in the peep-proof liquid crystal layer 1022 are warped.
Specifically, when the user views the front of the display panel, light is refracted out through the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules, and when the user views the side of the display panel, light is refracted out through the short axis of the liquid crystal molecules, and the brightness is lower, so that the peep-proof function is realized. The refractive index of the peep-proof liquid crystal layer 1022 is the minor axis refractive index of the liquid crystal molecule, i.e. o-ray refractive index (n o ) Denoted as the second refractive index, the refractive index of the dimming microstructure 1021 is greater than the second refractive index.
Specifically, a collimated backlight beam incident on a microlens structure, n o Less than n 1 After being refracted by the micro lens structure, the light beams in the peep-proof liquid crystal layer are converged, and the emergent light beams are deflected towards the middle, so that the emergent light with a large visual angle is converged within a range of-30 degrees to 30 degrees, and the peep-proof effect is improved. Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram showing deflection of light after passing through a plano-convex lens, wherein the dimming microstructure is a plano-convex lens, and light passing through the plano-convex lens converges.
