Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical schemes and beneficial effects to be solved more clear, the application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the application.
As shown in fig. 1, in one embodiment of the present application, there is provided a circular polarizer 100, the circular polarizer 100 including a filter layer 110, a polarizing substrate 120, and a phase compensation layer 130, the filter layer 110, the polarizing substrate 120, and the phase compensation layer 130 being sequentially connected to one another in a height direction. The filter layer 110 includes an upper TAC layer 111 and a first phase retardation film 112, the first phase retardation film 112 being coated on an inner circumferential side of the upper TAC layer 111 for allowing light to freely pass through polarized sunglasses; the phase compensation layer 130 includes a second phase retardation film 131, a lower TAC layer 132, and a third phase retardation film 133, the second phase retardation film 131 being coated on an upper surface of the lower TAC layer 132, and the third phase retardation film 133 being coated on a lower surface of the lower TAC layer 132. The first phase delay film 112 and the third phase delay film 133 are quarter-phase delay films, and the second phase delay film 131 is a half-phase delay film.
The quarter-phase retardation film is an optical film capable of reversibly converting linearly polarized light and circularly polarized light. In a specific application scenario, natural light is converted into linear polarized light by using a linear polarizing plate, the obtained linear polarized light and circularly polarized light are reversely converted by using a quarter-phase retardation film, half-wave loss is generated in the process of reflecting the circularly polarized light by itself by a reflecting surface, for example, left-handed circularly polarized light is converted into right-handed circularly polarized light in the process of reflecting by the reflecting surface, and right-handed circularly polarized light is converted into left-handed circularly polarized light in the process of reflecting by the reflecting surface.
The half-phase retardation film is used for generating lambda/2 optical path difference for incident linear polarized light, deflecting the linear polarized light and compensating the defect of the short wave domain of the quarter-phase retardation film.
The circular polarizer 100 is used for forming left-handed circularly polarized light when natural light passes through the circular polarizer, changes polarization state when reflected by a metal cathode, and is blocked when the reflected light meets the circular polarizer again.
The filter layer 110 is used for polarized sunglasses through which light can freely pass. If the user looks at the OLED display panel with polarized sunglasses, the OLED display panel itself emits linearly polarized light after passing through the optical plate having the phase difference layer structure, and therefore, the user cannot observe the picture of the OLED display panel at a specific angle, and therefore, the user can see the picture of the OLED display panel even with polarized sunglasses by adding the filter layer 110.
The polarizing substrate 120 is used to realize a polarizing mechanism, and is a linear polarizing plate, and is made of PVA (polyvinyl acetate). In general, the problem of reflection of the organic EL display device under natural light is solved by the cooperation of the polarizing substrate 120 and the circular polarizer 100. For example, the external natural light is firstly incident into the polarizing substrate 120 in the display, the natural light is converted into first linearly polarized light by the polarizing substrate 120, the first linearly polarized light is converted into left circularly polarized light by the third phase delay film 133, the left circularly polarized light is reflected by the metal electrode and then is converted into right circularly polarized light, when the right circularly polarized light passes through the third phase delay film 133, the right circularly polarized light is converted into second linearly polarized light perpendicular to the original vibration direction, namely, the directions of the second linearly polarized light and the first linearly polarized light are perpendicular to each other, and then the second linearly polarized light cannot be absorbed by the linear polarizing plate, so that the anti-reflection effect of eliminating the interference of the external incident light source of the organic EL display device is finally achieved, and the problem that the organic EL display device reflects light under the natural light is solved.
The phase compensation layer 130 has an inverse wavelength dispersion characteristic, which is a characteristic that the smaller the wavelength is, the smaller the phase difference value is, and the larger the wavelength is, so that the phase compensation layer has a good anti-reflection characteristic in the visible light wavelength range of the all-optical domain, and is used for eliminating the problem of interference caused by the incident light source of the external incident light source to the organic EL display device in the all-optical domain.
The phase compensation layer 130 includes a second phase retardation film 131, a lower TAC layer 132, and a third phase retardation film 133, and an effect of reducing the thickness of the phase compensation layer 130 is achieved by coating the second phase retardation film 131 and the third phase retardation film 133 on the lower TAC layer 132, thereby reducing costs and having more application scenes. Wherein the second phase retardation film 131 is coated above the lower TAC layer 132 in the height direction, and the third phase retardation film 133 is coated below the lower TAC layer 132 in the height direction.
In the circular polarizer 100, the filter layer 110, the polarizing substrate 120, and the phase compensation layer 130 are sequentially stacked and connected in a height direction, wherein the upper TAC layer 111 and the first phase retardation film 112 in the filter layer 110 are sequentially stacked and connected, and the second phase retardation film 131, the lower TAC layer 132, and the third phase retardation film 133 in the phase compensation layer 130 are sequentially stacked and connected.
Compared with the prior art, the circular polarizer provided by the application has the beneficial effects that the second phase retardation film 131 is coated on the upper surface of the lower TAC layer 132, and the third phase retardation film 133 is coated on the lower surface of the lower TAC layer 132, so that the traditional mode of applying glue is replaced, the thickness of the thinned circular polarizer 100 is achieved, the production cost is reduced, and the circular polarizer can be suitable for more application scenes. For example, the folding mobile phone can be applied to a flexible mobile phone (folding mobile phone), the bending radius is increased, and the using comfort of a user is improved. Meanwhile, the phase compensation layer 130 has the characteristic that the longer the wavelength is, the larger the phase difference value is, so that the phase compensation layer 130 has good anti-reflection property in the visible light wavelength range of the full-light domain, and the problem of interference caused by the incident light source of the outside incident light source to the organic EL display device is solved in the full-light domain.
In one embodiment of the present application, the first and third phase delay films 112 and 133 are quarter-phase delay films, and the second phase delay film 131 is a half-phase delay film; the acute angle between the optical axis of the first retardation film 112 and the absorption axis of the polarizing substrate 120 is 40 ° -50 °, and the in-plane retardation value of the first retardation film 112 is 120nm-140nm; the acute angle between the optical axis of the second phase retardation film 131 and the absorption axis of the polarizing substrate 120 is in the range of 7.5-22.5 °, and the in-plane phase difference value of the second phase retardation film 131 is in the range of 210nm-290nm; the acute angle between the optical axis of the third retardation film 133 and the absorption axis of the polarizing substrate 120 is in the range of 67.5 ° -82.5 °, and the in-plane phase difference value of the third retardation film 133 is in the range of 100nm-150nm.
If the in-plane phase difference values of the second and third phase retardation films 131 and 133 and the angles formed by the optical axes of the second and third phase retardation films 131 and 133 and the absorption axis of the polarizing substrate 120 are not within the above ranges, the inverse wavelength dispersion characteristics cannot be obtained.
It should be noted that, for the sake of fully explanation, the included angle between the optical axis of the third retardation film 133 and the absorption axis of the polarizing substrate 120 is 67.5 ° -82.5 ° (if the included angle between the two is represented by an obtuse angle, the included angle ranges from 97.5 ° to 112.5 °).

Therefore, the circular polarizer 100 provided by the embodiment of the application not only has the characteristic that the longer the wavelength is, the larger the phase difference value is, but also has the structural advantage of a thinned functional film.
It should be noted that, the phase compensation layer 130 provided in this embodiment is an inverse dispersion type liquid crystal film, that is, a film made of a liquid crystal material, and if the thickness of the film layer obtained by preparing the phase compensation layer 130 from other materials is thicker, for example, the thickness of the film layer prepared from a polymer material is up to 50 μm or more, it is difficult to meet the requirement of the optical device for thinner and thinner phase retardation film.

Since the photoalignment process can arbitrarily adjust the optical axis direction of the liquid crystal molecules, a roll-to-roll process can be used to obtain the second retarder 131 and the third retarder 133 having the desired optical axis direction (e.g., a polymer material is different from the retardation film prepared in this way), so that the productivity is improved.

Wherein the active treatment comprises ROM-201 active layer coating using ROLIC factory.
S32, depositing a C-plate liquid crystal material on the surface of the lower TAC layer 132, the third phase retardation film 133 or the second phase retardation film 131 after the activation treatment, and drying and UV light curing to obtain the transparent conductive film.

In an embodiment of the present application, a method for correcting and simulating a circular polarizer is provided, which is applicable to any one of the circular polarizers, and the method for correcting and simulating includes:
inputting a first parameter, constructing a Mueller matrix of the circular polaroid, using natural light to enter the circular polaroid, calculating a transmitted light error through ellipsometry, evaluating the performance under the current first parameter through an evaluation function to obtain an optimal value and an optimal parameter, calculating an emergent light path of the natural light, and calculating the ellipsometry of single transmitted light to evaluate the performance of preventing sunglasses from being closed;
And inputting a second parameter, calculating the transmitted light errors under the azimuth of different incident angles, calculating an evaluation function, counting the errors of the phase difference values in the vertical plane under different azimuth angles, and calculating the phase difference value and the corresponding parameter in the optimal vertical plane.
The first parameters comprise phase difference of each phase retardation film at different wavelengths, an included angle relative to a transmission axis of the polarizing matrix, refractive index and extinction coefficient of the polarizing matrix at different wavelengths and azimuth angle. The phase delay Mueller matrix is constructed by utilizing the phase difference and the included angle through the polarized light principle, the dichroism is calculated by utilizing the refractive index and the extinction coefficient, the dichroism Mueller matrix is constructed by combining the included angle, and the phase delay Mueller matrix and the dichroism Mueller matrix are utilized by utilizing the Lu-Chipman polar decomposition, so that the Mueller matrix of the circular polaroid is calculated. The second parameters include a range of phase difference values in the vertical plane, refractive index of the C-plate liquid crystal viewing angle compensation film, optimal parameters, and optimal evaluation function values. Because the second parameters are not more, the limitation of the actual engineering precision is not more, and the local optimal solution of the calculation result is too more, the global optimal value is found by using an exhaustion method.
Ellipticity of polarized light refers to the ratio of the amplitudes of the short and long axes of elliptically polarized light (the locus of elliptically polarized light is an ellipse, and the ratio of the short and long axes of the ellipse is ellipticity).
In this embodiment, the transmitted light is circularly polarized light when the ellipsometry is 1, linearly polarized light when the ellipsometry is 0, and in order to distinguish left and right rotations, additional processing is performed when calculating ellipsometry, and the inverse cosine transform is calculated for the original data to an angle in the range of 0 to 180 °,0 ° is right circularly polarized light, 90 ° is linearly polarized light, 180 ° is left circularly polarized light, and this value is named as "error".
In this example, the root mean square of all errors in the predetermined wavelength range was used as the evaluation function.
To improve efficiency, 550mm errors are calculated first, and after one pass of screening, the full band errors in the specified wavelength range are calculated again in a reduced range.
In this example, the smaller the general evaluation function, the better the performance, the closer the ellipsometry to 1, the better the performance of preventing sunglasses from closing.
Preferably, the step of calculating the phase difference value in the optimal vertical plane includes: and calculating a minimum evaluation function through the evaluation function value and the distribution condition, and analyzing the uniformity of the evaluation function to obtain the optimal phase difference value in the vertical plane.
Because of few input parameters, limitation of actual engineering precision and excessive local optimal solutions of calculation results, an exhaustive method is used for searching a global optimal value.

TABLE 1
The theoretical calculation value, the actual sample measurement value and the wavelength dispersion of the liquid crystal type inverse dispersion phase compensation layer 130 provided in example 1 were compared with those of the conventional known quarter-turn inverse dispersion phase retardation film, and the errors of the phase difference calculation of the three were compared, and the wavelength dispersion and the error are plotted as shown in fig. 6 and 7. Wherein the horizontal axis is wavelength, the wavelength range is selected from 400nm to 700nm, and the vertical axis is in-plane phase difference value and error. As can be seen from fig. 6, the in-plane phase difference value of the liquid crystal type inverse dispersion phase compensation layer 130 of embodiment 1 has the highest coincidence between the phase difference in the full band and the theoretical value, and is superior to the conventional known quarter-wave inverse dispersion phase retardation film, especially in the blue and green bands. The actual sample simulation generated and fabricated according to example 1 has a value close to the theoretical calculation value, and the structural scheme of example 1 has feasibility and can guide actual production. The theoretical calculation value and the actual measurement value of the comparative example 1 are compared, and errors are calculated, so that the deviation of the actual sample in the blue light wave band is maximum, and the reflectivity of the actual sample in the blue light wave band is expected to be larger than the theoretical calculation value.
As shown in fig. 6, the upper right corner in the drawing is illustrated in the order from top to bottom, the uppermost solid line is an ideal value, the next solid line is a theoretical simulation value of example 1, the next broken line is a measured fitting value of example 1, and the lowermost chain line is a measured fitting value of comparative example 1.
After the known quarter-reverse dispersion phase retardation film provided in comparative example 1 was attached to the polarizing substrate 120, the same as the circular polarizer 100 provided in example 2 of the present application was attached to an OLED panel, respectively, and a positive angle reflectance test was performed, and a reflectance spectrum is shown in fig. 8. Wherein the horizontal axis is wavelength, the vertical axis is reflectivity R%, the measurement device is CS-580 spectrocolorimeter, and the wavelength range is 380nm to 780nm. As can be seen from fig. 7, the reflectance of example 2 was lower than that of comparative example 1 after the linearly polarized substrate 120 was bonded in the blue-green wavelength band of 550nm or less, and the reflectance measured value of the actual sample of example 2 was larger than the theoretical calculated value in the blue wavelength band of 500nm or less.
Both of the above conclusions are in line with theoretical predictions. Meanwhile, the known quarter-wave retarder film of comparative example 1 and the liquid crystal phase compensation layer 130 of example 1 of the present application both have the inverse wavelength dispersion characteristic similar to the trend of ideal wavelength dispersion, so that the known quarter-wave retarder film and the phase compensation layer 130 can both approach the ideal phase difference value in the visible wavelength range, but the liquid crystal phase compensation layer 130 of example 1 of the present application has the ideal phase difference value more similar to the visible wavelength range than the known quarter-wave retarder film of comparative example 1, so that the anti-reflection effect better than the known quarter-wave retarder film of comparative example 1 can be obtained and the average reflectivity R% is smaller. In embodiment 1 of the present application, the ultra-thin wide-wave-domain circular polarizing plate composed of the phase compensation layer 130 and the polarizing substrate 120 has a reflectivity of 4% to 6% in the visible light wavelength region 400nm to 700nm, that is, the ultra-thin wide-wave-domain circular polarizing plate provided by the embodiment of the present application has a good anti-reflection effect.
Error was calculated after attaching the circular polarizer 100 provided in example 2 to the C-plate liquid crystal viewing angle compensation film 134, and the ratio of the error to the average error is shown in fig. 9 to 11. The ratio in the figure is the ratio of the data quantity of the current error to the whole data quantity. The extremum of each curve in the graph is marked by a circle and the current phase difference value in the vertical plane is marked, wherein one extremum exists in the condition that a plurality of phase difference values in the vertical plane correspond to each other, namely, the condition that the extremum exists in parallel to the phase difference value axis in the vertical plane, and the middle value of the phase difference values in the vertical plane is marked. As can be seen from fig. 9 to 11, the case where the C-plate liquid crystal viewing angle compensating film 134 is located between the second phase retarder 131 and the third phase retarder 133 is optimal, and compared with other positions, the minimum value of the average error of the C-plate liquid crystal viewing angle compensating film 134 is lowest when it is located between the second phase retarder 131 and the third phase retarder 133, the average value of the standard deviation of the error is smallest, the error ratio is largest, and the ratio of the error of 15 ° or less can be close to 100%. As can be seen from fig. 10, the average error minimum is at 73nm in the vertical plane, while the phase difference in the vertical plane is suitably selected to be between 60 and 90nm in consideration of uniformity of the error ratio.
In fig. 9, the upper right corner region is illustrated in the order from top to bottom, and the uppermost is a duty curve having an error of 15 ° or less, the next is a duty curve having an error of 10 ° or less, and the lowermost is a duty curve having an error of 8 ° or less.
In fig. 10, the upper right corner region is illustrated in the order from top to bottom, and the uppermost is a duty curve having an error of 15 ° or less, the next is a duty curve having an error of 10 ° or less, and the lowermost is a duty curve having an error of 8 ° or less.
In fig. 11, the upper right corner region is illustrated in the order from top to bottom, and the uppermost is a duty curve having an error of 15 ° or less, the next is a duty curve having an error of 10 ° or less, and the lowermost is a duty curve having an error of 8 ° or less.
The known quarter-turn reverse-dispersion phase retardation film provided in comparative example 1 was attached to the polarizing substrate 120 and the circular polarizer 100 provided in example 3, respectively, were attached to the OLED panel, and a large viewing angle reflectance test was performed and the reflectance Y of the full-band luminous flux was calculated. The calculation of the brightness reflectivity Y adopts a calculation method of a green primary stimulus value Y in the CIE 15:Technical Report:Colorimetry,3rd edition standard, and the green primary stimulus value Y is equivalent to the reflectivity of luminous flux in a visible light band because a green color matching function is consistent with a spectral light efficiency function of human eyes. The reflectance graph is shown in fig. 12. Wherein, the polar axis is the luminous flux reflectivity Y%; the polar angle is the azimuth angle of the sample, the azimuth angle is defined as the included angle from the horizontal line to the absorption axis of the sample, and the anticlockwise direction is positive; the measuring equipment is manufactured by Solid Spec-3700 spectroscope Shimadzu corporation, model: solid Spec-3700, the wavelength range is 380nm to 780nm. As can be seen from fig. 12, after the C-plate liquid crystal viewing angle compensation film 134 is added, the large viewing angle reflectivity of example 3 is significantly smaller than that of the polarizing substrate 120 laminated with example 2 and comparative example 1, and thus the C-plate liquid crystal viewing angle compensation film 134 has a significant effect of reducing the reflectivity at a large viewing angle.
As shown in fig. 12, each folding line is illustrated in the order direction of the vertices from the outside to the inside on the middle vertical line in the drawing, and the measured value of example 3 is the outermost one, and next, the measured value of the polarizing substrate 120 is bonded to the comparative example 1, and the measured value of example 3 is the innermost one. Wherein the upper half is at an angle of incidence of 45 ° and the lower half is at an angle of incidence of 60 °.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the application is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the application.
