Description

narrow-frame side-entering type liquid crystal display laser backlight source
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a laser LCD's light source, concretely relates to side income formula laser LCD's backlight structure.
background
The optical system of the existing liquid crystal display is designed for the surface light source using LED as the light emitting basic element, and is very mature.
The LED light source has the advantages that:
The spatial divergence of the light is about 150 DEG without axial difference, and the light energy is approximately uniform
The shape and size of the light emitting region of the LED can be changed by semiconductor processing
The white light synthesis method of the LED-based display light source is simple and can form uniform white light
the LED light source has low heat dissipation requirement, and the heat sink has small, light and thin volume and simple structure
Broad spectral width of the LED device, with negligible effect on color due to wavelength change with increasing temperature
the advantages determine that the LED can be made into a patch lamp bead type narrow-band surface light source consisting of a large number of light-emitting low-power light spots.
The single-point light emitted by the LED surface light source is uniform in energy distribution and low in light power, and the LED luminous points with large number can be arranged in the length direction to form the uniform surface light source with high total luminous intensity. The width of a light emitting area of an individual LED lamp bead of the surface light source can be made smaller than the width of a light inlet surface of the light guide plate, and the light coupling efficiency of the light guide plate is high; the thickness of 3mm is convenient for heat dissipation and installation, and the length can be freely cut, so the backlight module is widely used for the backlight source of the side-entry type liquid crystal display.
the side-in type liquid crystal display backlight is characterized in that a patch lamp bead type narrow-band surface light source formed by a large number of light emitting points with low power is arranged on the side face (long and thick or wide and thick) of a PMMA light guide plate, and low-brightness and uniform light emitted by each LED lamp bead is incident on the light guide plate and then is totally emitted. A plurality of scattering regions are arranged on one surface (length and width) of the light guide plate and are used for destroying the total reflection of light in the light guide plate, so that the surface light source is formed on the surface of the light guide plate (length and width) from which the light rays are emitted. For example, 176 white light LED beads with a light emitting area of 7 × 2mm are used on one side of a 70-inch lcd tv, each bead has 2 LED light emitting points, and 352 white light LED light emitting points are used to ensure that the LED white light enters the light guide plate to form a uniform lcd backlight source with a larger area.
The liquid crystal display using the LED as a light source can satisfy only the requirement of the liquid crystal display of 2K resolution. The color gamut coverage, color saturation, color reduction and color number required by the 4K and 8K liquid crystal displays are far from reaching the standard.
Laser display is a novel display technology, and a laser light source is the best display light source available to human beings and can meet the requirements of relevant standards of 4K and 8K displays. Compared with the traditional light sources of displays such as LED, OLED, quantum dot and cold cathode lamp, the laser light source has the following advantages: has the advantages of high color rendering, narrow spectral width, and minimal beam divergence, and thus, semiconductor laser light sources have been widely used as light sources for projection display devices.
However, the laser source is also faced with the following problems if it is used as a side-entry lcd light source:
1. The all-solid-state laser has large volume, low efficiency, extremely high cost and complex structure, and cannot be used as a light source for a flat-shaped liquid crystal display.
2. The existing laser light source which can be used as a liquid crystal display can only be a semiconductor laser.
3. Commercial visible light semiconductor lasers are all end-emitting lasers.
In addition to the absolute advantages of the end-emitting visible lasers over LEDs in terms of color, other applications have the following significant disadvantages:
The packaging volume is large (about 10 times of that of an LED with the same luminous power), the packaging structure is complex, and surface mount packaging cannot be realized;
The spacing between the light emitting points of the end-emitting visible light laser is more than 10 times larger than that of the LED due to the limitation of the packaging form, and the excessive light emitting gap can not form 'non-color difference white light' and 'surface light source with uniform brightness'
Low efficiency of the electro-optical conversion (about 50% -30% of an LED with the same luminous power);
The laser wavelength is sensitive to temperature change, the wavelength is easy to generate red shift along with the rise of temperature, and the heat dissipation requirement is several times higher than that of an LED;
Forced heat dissipation is needed for the end-emitting visible laser light source, otherwise, the long-time use of the end-emitting visible laser light source causes thermal attenuation of output power, and the service life is further influenced.
The power density of a light emitting region emitting visible light laser is tens of times of that of the LED;
The monochromaticity of laser light is good, and when the laser light is used as a light source of a display, white light synthesis must be performed using a three-primary-color laser light source.
Laser interference problem of speckle noise of picture
The light emitting area of the end-emitting visible light semiconductor laser is only 100um wide, the power density of the light emitting area is extremely high, and the plastic light guide plate is easily damaged
Most importantly, the divergence angle of the laser beam emitted by the end-emitting visible light semiconductor laser is anisotropic, the fast axis divergence angle is about 40 degrees, the slow axis divergence angle is less than 10 degrees, and the shape of the light spot is elliptical and cannot be changed by a semiconductor processing technology.
There are many patents related to the application of semiconductor laser light source emitting visible light at the end to liquid crystal display, and none of these patents is to install the laser at the side of the light guide plate following the existing manufacturing scheme of side-in type LED surface light source. For example, patent CN104344284A and patent CN104180244A disclose a "laser backlight device", in which red, green, and blue lasers are combined by a lens to form white light, and then the white light is incident on a light guide plate module, and the divergence angle of the combined white light is very small. After entering the light guide plate module, laser beams are expanded through the doped scattering particles in the light guide plate module, so that a laser surface light source with high brightness and uniform light distribution is formed. Patent CN104180244A discloses a "laser backlight source device", in which a light guide tube is arranged around the light guide plate, a light opening is left on the light guide tube, a scattering body is present inside the light guide tube, when a laser beam passes through the light guide tube, the scattering body inside the light guide tube performs diffuse reflection on the laser to generate a scattering white laser, and the scattering white laser enters the light guide plate to form a surface light source. In both schemes, scattered laser light scattered by nanoparticles is used as a backlight source of the display, and the scattered laser light forms 360-degree illumination light in the same space as that of a cold cathode lamp (fluorescent lamp). When the scattered light is used as a display backlight source, the scattered light is emitted in a space of 360 degrees, and 25-40% of loss is required to be generated, so that the light incidence rate (coupling rate) of the final light guide plate is about 60-75%. For a cold cathode lamp (fluorescent lamp) with low price, low power consumption and less heat generation, the low light incidence rate of the light guide plate is not a problem; however, for the laser with high price, high power consumption and large heat generation, the light loss of 25-40% generated when light is guided in the incident light is unacceptable, because the excessive light incident loss of the light guide plate means that the display uses more lasers, and thus the cost and the power consumption of the laser liquid crystal display are greatly increased. What is more, the solution causes the frame width of the liquid crystal display to be too large, which results in the appearance of the whole liquid crystal display being not beautiful and the light source structure being incompatible with the mechanical mounting structure of the liquid crystal screen and other devices. Most importantly, this solution only solves the white light synthesis problem, but does not solve the shimming problem, which causes the brightness of the display to be unevenly distributed.
Patent 201520476596.2 discloses a surface light source structure for laser display, in which a plurality of rgb lasers are arranged on four sides of a light guide plate. Because the three-color laser directly enters the light guide plate, the intensity distribution of the laser with the interval of over-far red, green and blue three-color laser is uneven, and the white light cannot be synthesized to cause the situation of screen blooming phenomenon and uneven screen brightness (figure 1), so that the normal use requirement of liquid crystal display cannot be met. However, for a large-sized liquid crystal display screen, higher brightness is required to support the picture quality, and the practical technical implementation according to the patent scheme requires more than 600 lasers to meet the backlight requirement of the large-sized liquid crystal display screen, so that the cost and the heating power consumption of the laser liquid crystal display screen are multiplied.
The existing patent schemes can not solve the practical problems of picture color spots, color bands, uneven light and shade distribution of a light field and low brightness caused by mismatching of a visible light end emission semiconductor laser and an optical system of the existing side-entering LED liquid crystal display.
The existing side-in type LED liquid crystal display backlight optical system cannot be matched with an end-emitting laser source.
If the end-emitting semiconductor laser source is used for the side-in type liquid crystal display, and the commercialization is realized, a novel side-in type liquid crystal display backlight source structure suitable for the optical parameters and the structure of the visible light end-emitting semiconductor laser must be developed.

The visible light end emitting semiconductor laser is arranged on the back of the liquid crystal display shell, and then the reflecting device is used for turning the light path of the laser beam to enter the light guide plate, so that the functions of the laser beam are as follows: firstly, the optical path L between the end-emitting visible light laser group 1 and the liquid crystal display light guide plate 4 is enlarged, so that the area (shown in figure 5) covered by a certain laser beam with a divergence angle emitted by the visible light end-emitting semiconductor laser in the liquid crystal display light guide plate 4 is enlarged, namely the space luminophor of the laser beam in the liquid crystal display light guide plate 4 is enlarged, thereby reducing the space optical energy density of the laser and further reducing/eliminating color blocks and bright and dark stripes caused by energy distribution difference of the laser on the liquid crystal display light guide plate 4 so as to obtain a liquid crystal display laser backlight area light source with uniform light field distribution; secondly, under the condition of meeting the total light energy requirement of the liquid crystal display, the light spot length of the visible light end emission semiconductor laser on the incident surface of the light guide plate is increased, the light spot overlapping area between adjacent visible light laser emitting lasers of different wave band ends can be increased, the larger the overlapping area of the laser light spots of different wave bands is, the smaller the color difference of the backlight source is, and the more uniform the color temperature is; thirdly, the output energy of the semiconductor laser emitted by the single visible light end can be increased, and the number of the lasers used can be reduced; the four-use of the turning light path can ensure that the width of a side frame of the liquid crystal display is not increased, the appearance of the whole liquid crystal display using the three-primary-color laser light source is not influenced, and the optimal optical path L is obtained under the condition.

When the sum of the lengths of the laser beams emitted by the green light semiconductor laser and the light spots on the light passing surface of the side surface of the light guide plate needs to be larger than 1540mm multiplied by 0.8, L1=2mm,L2=12mm,L380mm, divergence angle thetayAt 35 °, it can be calculated according to equations (1) and (3):
w1=1.26mm,w2=7.56mm,w3=50.47mm

The blue laser beam emitted by the blue laser 101 is collimated by the aspheric laser collimating lens 201 to the divergence angle of the fast axis and the slow axis of the laser beam, and then emitted to the blue beam combiner 301. After passing through the blue light beam combining mirror 301, the red, green and blue lasers are combined into a white light beam.
