Detailed Description
The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings and to specific embodiments.
First aspect
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, an optical touch module based on a visible absorption infrared transmission grating comprises an infrared grating waveguide grating layer arranged below a screen, wherein the infrared grating waveguide grating layer comprises an infrared high transmission grating and a grating arranged on the infrared high transmission grating; the infrared high-transmission grid absorbs visible light and high-transmission infrared light; the grating is configured to couple invisible light of a specific wavelength into an optical waveguide mode that is transmissible within the infrared grating waveguide mesh layer and around the infrared high-transmission mesh.
The infrared high-transmittance grid is used as a black matrix between color filter pixels, or an anti-crosstalk and anti-reflection black matrix between LED display screen pixels, or is positioned between LED backlight LED chips.
The transmitted light is the detection light, and touch control positioning can be performed by acquiring the detection light.
201 in fig. 1 and 3 is an infrared laser pen.
As shown in fig. 1, the screen under the present invention is understood to be the rear of the display panel away from the viewing side, and in one embodiment of the present invention, the screen is a Mini-LED panel, and the grid layer of the infrared raster waveguide is disposed on the Mini-LED backlight layer of the Mini-LED panel away from the viewing side.
The coupling formula of +1 and-1 of the grating waveguide is as follows:
wherein k is 0 Wavenumber in vacuum, n 0 Is the refractive index of the incident medium, θ is the incident angle in the waveguide, T is the grating period, n is the refractive index of the waveguide, n eff Is the effective refractive index of the waveguide. The absolute value part in equation (1) is positive for +1 order diffracted light, and negative for-1 order diffracted light. And has n 1 >n 0
The following condition is satisfied in order to make +1-order diffracted light into a waveguide mode in the waveguide, which is simply available according to the formula (1):
where λ is the wavelength of the incident light in vacuum.
When the incident angle θ and the grating period T are determined, it is obvious that only the wavelength of the incident light satisfies the above formula (2) and formula (3), it is possible to become a waveguide mode and propagate laterally in any layer of the display, and the light with other wavelengths will be emitted through the grating waveguide.
The human eye can feel the wavelength range of 380nm to 780nm, and the wavelength range of infrared rays is 760nm to 1mm. According to the theory, the infrared invisible light of 780nm and above becomes a waveguide mode by setting the proper grating period and considering the + -1-order diffraction light, and then the visible light which cannot be coupled into the corresponding grating period in 380nm to 780nm is set for marking the touch position. Therefore, the display of the touch screen is not affected, and meanwhile, the invisible light wavelength is used as the detection light, so that the user experience is improved.
In one embodiment, the infrared high-transmittance grid is prepared from an infrared high-transmittance material through dispensing and nanoimprint processes and is used for absorbing incident non-signal light; the infrared high-transmittance grid can be made of black photoresist, chromium, carbon black, BZH powder-containing resin and high-blackness aniline black-containing resin.

When the grating is in a lattice structure, the moire can be eliminated, and the display effect is improved.

Fig. 6 shows the arrangement of the grating on the lines of the infrared high-transmission grid. Different setting modes enable the transmission modes of the optical waveguides to be different, and further influence the transmission capacity loss.
The touch accuracy can be adjusted through full coverage setting and incomplete coverage setting on the line crossing points and the lines of the infrared high-transmission grid. The device is arranged according to actual needs, and the balance between cost and performance can be achieved. The efficiency of the detector can also be maximized by optimizing the duty cycle.
