Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a display and a light guiding structure thereof, and more particularly, to a display including a light guiding member and a light guiding structure thereof.
Background
Application displays such as Virtual Reality (Virtual Reality) and augmented Reality (Augmented Reality) require that the light emitting directions of the pixel light sources be concentrated toward the human eye imaging area to improve the visual quality of the human eye. In order to meet the above requirements, as shown in fig. 15, a microlens Array (MLA) 91 is currently used to concentrate the light emitting direction of the light emitting source 92 toward the 0 degree direction (forward direction). However, the MLA 91 is a symmetrical structure, which has a relatively obvious light-emitting control effect on the pixel light-emitting source 92 located in the central area 93 of the display, but the light-emitting control effect on the pixel light-emitting source 92 located further from the central area 93 of the display gradually decreases with increasing distance, especially the light-emitting direction of 0 degree of the pixel light-emitting source 92 located in the edge area 94 of the display hardly reaches the human eye imaging area 95. Accordingly, the display industry is seeking solutions that can ameliorate the above-mentioned deficiencies.

Detailed Description
The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the application. Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to limit the application. For example, the following description of forming a first feature over or on a second feature may include embodiments in which first and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in which other features are formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features are not in direct contact. Furthermore, the present application may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or architectures discussed.
Furthermore, the application may use spatially relative terms, such as "under," "below," "lower," "above," "higher," and the like, for example, to describe one element's or feature's relationship to another element's or feature in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. The device may be positioned (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the disclosure are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. Further, as used herein, "about" generally refers to within 10%, 5%, 1%, or 0.5% of a given value or range. Alternatively, the term "about" refers to within an acceptable standard error of average value considered by one of ordinary skill in the art. Except in the operating/working examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numerical ranges, amounts, values, and ratios of materials, time periods, temperatures, operating conditions, amounts, and the like disclosed herein are to be understood as modified in all instances by the term "about. Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the present disclosure and claims are approximations that may vary as desired. Each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. Ranges can be expressed herein as from one end point to another, or between two end points. Unless specifically stated otherwise, all ranges disclosed herein are inclusive of the endpoints.

In some embodiments, the light guides (e.g., the central light guide 31 and the outer light guide 32) of the light guide structure 30 are spaced apart from the package 23 of the light emitting module 20. That is, the light guides (e.g., the center light guide 31 and the outer light guide 32) of the light guide structure 30 do not contact the package 23 of the light emitting module 20.
In some embodiments, the central light guide 31 is disposed in the central region 35. In some embodiments, the central light guide 31 is a transparent material, such as a transparent resin or other suitable material.
