The display light of the AR optical display module 200, a part of which enters the eye 104, and another part of which exits from the front of the AR optical writing display module, passes through the liquid crystal light adjusting film 102 and then exits to the outside, if the part of the display light 106 is not blocked by the liquid crystal light adjusting film, the virtual image content is displayed to the outside of the glasses, and the privacy of the AR glasses wearer is revealed.
The liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can effectively shield light leakage of the display module no matter in a high-transmittance state (refer to fig. 1 a) or a low-transmittance state (refer to fig. 1 b), and ensure privacy of AR glasses.
Example 1
Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a liquid crystal dimming film assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, the liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100 includes a liquid crystal layer 110, a first linear polarization layer 120, a second linear polarization layer 130, and a phase retardation layer 140;
wherein the liquid crystal layer 110 is disposed between the first and second linear polarization layers 120 and 130; the magnitude of the electric signal applied to the liquid crystal layer 110 is adjusted to adjust the transmittance of the incident light of the external environment passing through the liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100 to form emergent light, so as to adjust the high transmittance state, the low transmittance state and the intermediate transmittance state of the liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100;
the phase retardation layer 140 is located on a side of the first linear polarization layer 120 away from the liquid crystal layer 110, and the phase retardation layer 140 is configured to be close to the light emitting side of the optical display module 200; when the circularly polarized light emitted from the optical display module 200 passes through the phase delay layer 140, the circularly polarized light is modulated into linearly polarized light and then can be absorbed by the first linear polarization layer 120; the liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100 can always shield light leakage of the optical display module 200 in a high-transmittance state and a low-transmittance state, and meanwhile, the transmittance modulation of ambient light is not affected, so that the privacy and the functionality of the AR glasses are effectively improved.
When in use, the liquid crystal light modulation film assembly 100 in the present embodiment has at least two working states, namely a high transmittance state and a low transmittance state.
Wherein, in the high transmittance state, ambient light (generally in the unpolarized state) passes through the lc light modulating film assembly 100 at 20% -60% transmittance;
in the low transmittance state, ambient light passes through the lc dimming film assembly 100 with a transmittance of 0.01% -20%.
The specific transmittance value of the liquid crystal light modulation film assembly 100 varies depending on the manufacturing process and the thickness of each layer, but satisfies the above-defined range. The circularly polarized light emitted from the optical display module 200 (display module) of the AR glasses is mostly blocked when passing through the liquid crystal light modulation film assembly 100, and the transmittance thereof is maintained within the range of 0.01% -20%, and the specific transmittance value is different depending on the manufacturing process and the film thickness of each layer, no matter in the high transmittance or low transmittance state.
Of course, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the operating state of the liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100 is other than high transmittance and low transmittance;
intermediate working states can also exist, and the transmittance of the liquid crystal dimming film component 100 can be adjusted in a multistage or stepless continuous mode. In particular, in the intermediate operating state, the transmittance of ambient light passing through the lc dimming film assembly 100 is between high and low, and the number and transmittance values of the particular intermediate operating state are determined by the designed load voltage variation value and the lc dimming film assembly 100 structure.
As a preferred embodiment, the phase retardation layer 140 employs a 1/4 wave plate, and the 1/4 wave plate employs a birefringent material, including but not limited to a polymer-based polycarbonate, having a thickness of between 0.1 μm and 100 μm, and the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light modulated by the 1/4 wave plate is orthogonal to the polarization direction of the first linear polarization layer 120.
As a preferred embodiment, when the circularly polarized light emitted from the optical display module 200 is right-handed polarized light, the fast axis direction of the 1/4 wave plate is parallel to the polarization direction of the first linear polarization layer 120 rotated 45 ° counterclockwise;
when the circularly polarized light is left-handed polarized light, the fast axis direction of the 1/4 wave plate is parallel to the polarization direction of the first linear polarization layer 120 rotated 45 ° clockwise.
As a preferred embodiment, the liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100 further includes a first transparent electrode layer 150 and a second transparent electrode layer 160; wherein the first transparent electrode layer 150 is disposed between the first linear polarization layer 120 and the liquid crystal layer 110; the second transparent electrode layer 160 is disposed between the second linear polarization layer 130 and the liquid crystal layer 110.
In practical application, the two transparent electrode layers may be made of ITO, and the thickness of the two transparent electrode layers is set to 150 μm.
In addition, the liquid crystal display device further comprises a driving circuit, wherein the driving circuit is configured to adjust the voltage difference between the first transparent electrode layer 150 and the second transparent electrode layer 160 at two sides of the liquid crystal layer 110, so as to adjust the transmittance of the incident light of the external environment passing through the liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100 to form emergent light.
The switching of at least two working states of the liquid crystal dimming film component 100 is realized by changing the voltage difference between the first transparent electrode layer 150 and the second transparent electrode layer 160 at two sides of the liquid crystal layer 110, and the voltage difference is 0V when the liquid crystal dimming film component is in a high transmittance state; in the low transmittance state, the voltage difference is between 3V and 20V, and the specific voltage difference is determined by the process and the circuit design.
Specifically, the light transmittance change of the liquid crystal dimming film component 100 in the present embodiment is mainly determined by the state change of the liquid crystal layer 110 under different voltages. Among them, the liquid crystal forms include, but are not limited to, twisted nematic liquid crystal (TN-LCD). The twisted nematic liquid crystal structure, as shown in fig. 4a and 4b, mainly functions to rotate the polarization axis of polarized light, and the rotation angle can be adjusted by the voltage applied from the transparent electrode layers on both sides. Referring to fig. 4a, when an electric field is not applied, the liquid crystal molecules twist and form a helical structure, which rotates the polarization direction of polarized light passing therethrough by 90 degrees. Referring to fig. 4b, when an electric field is applied, liquid crystal molecules are arranged in parallel with the electric field, and have no effect on the polarization direction of polarized light passing therethrough, and the polarized light maintains an original polarization state.
In practical applications, the polarization directions of the first linear polarization layer 120 and the second linear polarization layer 130 on both sides of the liquid crystal layer 110 need to be matched with the liquid crystal molecules, and the included angle between the polarization directions of the first linear polarization layer 120 and the second linear polarization layer 130 is the same as the rotation angle of the liquid crystal molecules under the condition of no voltage application. Taking fig. 4a and fig. 4b as an example, when polarized light passes through the liquid crystal layer 110 and rotates by 90 °, the polarizing directions of the first linear polarization layer 120 and the second linear polarization layer 130 form an included angle of 90 °; the incident light without polarization state becomes linearly polarized light when passing through the second linear polarization layer 130, and then the linearly polarized light passes through the first linear polarization layer 120 with different polarization directions under different voltage control through modulation of the liquid crystal layer 110, so that modulation of different transmittance is realized.
In addition, it should be noted that, in addition to the twisted nematic liquid crystal described above, the liquid crystal layer 110 in the present embodiment may also be a guest-host liquid crystal device, an electrically controlled birefringence liquid crystal device (ECB) and Pi-cells, and the like, and the structure of the corresponding polarizing layer needs to be slightly changed according to the liquid crystal characteristics, but all the multi-layer liquid crystal dimming films with 1/4 wave plates for reducing the front light leakage of the optical display module 200 are within the protection scope of the present application.
The following describes the operation principle of the liquid crystal light adjusting film assembly 100 in the present embodiment:
the circularly polarized light 107 emitted from the front surface of the optical display module 200 passes through the 1/4 wave plate and the first linear polarization layer 120 closely attached to the same, as shown in fig. 3a, and satisfies the following relationship: the circularly polarized light 107 is converted into linearly polarized light 108 after passing through the 1/4 wave plate, and the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light is orthogonal to the polarization direction of the first linear polarization layer 120, namely 90 degrees;
the fast axis direction of the 1/4 wave plate and the polarization direction of the first linear polarization layer 120 need to be adapted to the rotation direction of the circularly polarized light emitted from the optical display module 200, as shown in fig. 3 b: when the circularly polarized light is right-handed polarized light, the fast axis direction of the 1/4 wave plate is parallel to the polarization direction of the first linear polarization layer 120 rotated 45 ° counterclockwise; when the circularly polarized light is left-handed polarized light, the fast axis direction of the 1/4 wave plate is parallel to the polarization direction of the first linear polarization layer 120 rotated 45 ° clockwise; linearly polarized light can be absorbed by the first linear polarization layer 120; the liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100 can always shield light leakage of the optical display module 200 in a high-transmittance state and a low-transmittance state, and meanwhile, the transmittance modulation of ambient light is not affected, so that the privacy and the functionality of the AR glasses are effectively improved.
Example two
As shown in fig. 5, the liquid crystal light adjusting film assembly 100 provided in the present embodiment is an improvement made on the basis of the liquid crystal light adjusting film assembly 100 in the first embodiment;
specifically: the liquid crystal dimming film assembly 100 of the present embodiment further includes a first antireflection film layer 170, wherein the first antireflection film layer 170 is disposed on a side of the retardation layer 140 close to the optical display module 200.
In addition, the second anti-reflective film layer 180 is further included, and the second anti-reflective film layer 180 is disposed on a side of the second linear polarization layer 130 away from the optical display module 200.
The first and second anti-reflective film layers 170 and 180 may be made of conventional inorganic materials based on titanium dioxide (TiO 2), zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2), si3N4, or organic thin films or micro-nano structures, and the thickness of the first and second anti-reflective film layers 170 and 180 may be between 0.1 μm and 500 μm.
Example III
As shown in fig. 6, the liquid crystal light adjusting film assembly 100 provided in the present embodiment is an improvement made on the basis of the liquid crystal light adjusting film assembly 100 in the second embodiment.
Specifically: the liquid crystal light adjusting film assembly 100 of the present embodiment further includes a lens structure supporting layer 190, wherein the lens structure supporting layer 190 is disposed between the second linear polarization layer 130 and the second anti-reflection film layer 180.
Wherein, the lens structural support layer 190 can adopt an acrylic (PMMA) material, and the main function is to provide mechanical support, so as to prevent excessive bending or cracking of other film layers, in this example, the lens structural support layer 190 has a quadric surface structure, and the thickness is 2mm, and since other film layers are sequentially attached to the structural support layer, other film layers also have a curved surface structure along with certain bending of the lens structural support layer 190.
Example IV
The liquid crystal light adjusting film assembly 100 provided in the present embodiment is an improvement made on the basis of the liquid crystal light adjusting film assembly 100 in the first embodiment;
as shown in fig. 7, the liquid crystal dimming film component 100 in this embodiment further includes a semi-transparent and semi-reflective film layer 191 and a curved lens layer 192; wherein, the curved lens layer 192 is disposed between the semi-transparent and semi-reflective film layer 191 and the phase retardation layer 140.
In this example, the ratio of the reflectivity to the transmissivity of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective film 191 is 1:1, and of course, other ratios may be selected according to the product requirement, for example: 7:3 or 8:2, etc.
The curved lens layer 192 is made of PMMA and has a thickness of 2.2mm, and the curved lens layer 192 supports the entire multi-layer film structure on one hand and provides a certain optical power to the reflected light on the other hand so that the virtual image of the optical display module 200 can be imaged on the retina of a human eye. Because other film layers are sequentially attached to the curved lens layer 192, other film layers also bend to a certain extent along with the curved lens layer 192 to form a curved structure.
In addition, the liquid crystal dimming film component 100 in the present embodiment further includes a third anti-reflection film layer 193; the third anti-reflective film layer 193 is disposed on a side of the second linear polarization layer 130 away from the optical display module 200.
