The present invention relates to a display device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a display device including an uneven transparent substrate.

Recently, with the development of display technology, the demand for the implementation of large images is increasing day by day. Currently, most large image display devices (mainly projectors) use liquid crystals as optical switches. Compared with the CRT projectors of the past, it is small and inexpensive, and the optical system is simple and used. However, it is pointed out that the light loss is large because light from the light source is transmitted through the liquid crystal plate to the screen. Therefore, a lighter image can be obtained by reducing light loss by utilizing a micromachine such as an optical modulator element using reflection.

Micromachines are extremely small machines that are difficult to discern with the naked eye. Also known as a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS), it can be called a microelectromechanical system or device. It is mainly made by applying semiconductor manufacturing technology. It is applied to various information equipment parts such as magnetic and optical heads using micro-optics and limiting devices, and it is also applied to biomedical field and semiconductor manufacturing process using various micro fluid control technologies. Micromachines can be divided into microsensors, which act as sensing elements, micro actuators as driving devices, and miniature machines that transfer other energy.

MEMS is applied to the optical field as one of various application fields. MEMS technology enables the fabrication of optical components smaller than 1mm, enabling ultra-compact optical systems.

Micro-optic components such as optical modulator elements and micro lenses, which are miniature optical systems, have been applied to communication devices, displays, and recording devices due to advantages such as fast response speed, small loss, and ease of integration and digitization.

A Spatial Optical Modulator (SOM) used in a scanning display device, which is a kind of display, includes a driving integrated circuit and a plurality of micromirrors. One or more micromirrors are gathered to represent one pixel of the projected image.

In this case, in order to express the light intensity of one pixel, the micromirror changes the amount of light of modulated light by changing its displacement corresponding to the driving voltage applied from the driver IC. Here, the driver IC generates a driving voltage having a specific relationship with respect to the input signal.

The light modulator 130 outputs modulated light modulated by the light emitted from the light source 110 according to the driving voltage provided by the driver IC 140. The plurality of micromirrors provided in the optical modulator 220 is preferably equal to the number of pixels constituting the vertical scan line or the horizontal scan line.

The driver IC 140 provides the optical modulator 130 with a driving voltage for changing the brightness of modulated light output according to the image control signal from the image processor 180.

The relay optical system 150 allows the modulated light output from the optical modulator 130 to be transmitted to the scanner 160. The scanner 160 reflects the modulated light incident from the light modulator 130 at a predetermined angle and projects it onto the screen 190.

The projection optical system 170 includes a projection lens such that the modulated light reflected by the scanner 160 is projected onto the screen 190.

The image processor 180 provides the image control signal, the scanner control signal, and the light source control signal to the driver IC 140, the scanner 160, and the light source 110, respectively. One frame image is displayed on the screen 190 by an image control signal, a scanner control signal, and a light source control signal interlocked with each other.

However, since the light modulated by the optical modulator is reflected and distributed to light having an n (natural number) order, there is a problem that the light is not transmitted as a clear image.

Before describing the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail, the optical modulator of the MEMS package applied to the present invention will be described first.

Optical modulators are largely divided into a direct method of directly controlling the on / off of light and an indirect method using reflection and diffraction, and the indirect method may be divided into an electrostatic method and a piezoelectric method. Herein, the optical modulator is applicable to the present invention regardless of the manner in which the optical modulator is driven.

The electrostatically driven grating light modulator includes a plurality of regularly spaced deformable reflective ribbons having reflective surface portions and suspended above the substrate.

First, an insulating layer is deposited on a silicon substrate, followed by a deposition process of a sacrificial silicon dioxide film and a silicon nitride film. The silicon nitride film is patterned with a ribbon and a portion of the silicon dioxide layer is etched so that the ribbon is held on the oxide spacer layer by the nitride frame. To modulate light with a single wavelength [lambda], the modulator is designed so that the thickness of the ribbon and the thickness of the oxide spacers are [lambda] / 4.

The lattice amplitude of this modulator, defined by the vertical distance d between the reflective surface on the ribbon and the reflective surface of the substrate, is the conduction of the ribbon (reflective surface of the ribbon serving as the first electrode) and the substrate (substrate serving as the second electrode). Film).

Hereinafter, a concave-convex transparent substrate which is a characteristic component in the image distortion correction display apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described.

2A is a conceptual diagram illustrating projection and reflection of light in an uneven transparent substrate according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The uneven transparent substrate 200 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include n (natural numbers) uneven parts on one side and the other side. Here, the uneven portion may be composed of a protrusion 200-1 and the depression 200-2 having a predetermined height.

Here, some of the light 210 incident on the uneven transparent substrate 200 (212, 214) may be reflected from one side surface of the upper surface of the uneven transparent substrate 200, and some of the remaining light 220 222 and 224 may be projected into the uneven transparent substrate 200, but may be reflected from the other side of the lower surface. As a result, only the light 230 passing through the uneven transparent substrate 200 may be transmitted to the light modulator 130.

Thereafter, the light 240 modulated from the light modulator 130 and transmitted to the uneven transparent substrate 200 may pass through the uneven transparent substrate 200 through the same process as described above. After all, the modulated light 250, 260, which is light that has passed through the uneven transparent substrate 200, has the same reflection angle θ as the incident light 210 incident on the uneven transparent substrate 200, and is then used as the relay optical system 150. Can be delivered.

At this time, the light (212, 214, 222, 224, hereinafter referred to as "reflected light") reflected from one side and the other side of the uneven transparent substrate 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention of the incident light 210 It has a reflection angle different from the incident angle θ.

That is, the reflected light 212, 214, 222, and 224 may have different reflection angles from the modulated light 250 and 260, thereby solving the problem of overlapping each other.

Hereinafter, the height of the protrusion (hereinafter, referred to as 'h') will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 2B.

Figure 2b is a conceptual diagram showing the wavelength difference of the light passing through the uneven transparent substrate according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2B, the uneven transparent substrate 200 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention has a recess 200-2 formed between the protrusion 200-1 having a predetermined height and the adjacent protrusion 200-1. ) May be provided periodically and repeatedly.

Preferably, the width of the protrusion 200-1 of the uneven transparent substrate 200 according to the present invention may be the same as the width of the depression 200-2. Can be.

Here, the relationship between the wavelength of the light incident on the uneven transparent substrate 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as 'λ') and h is the light incident on the uneven transparent substrate 200. It can be obtained using the angle formed with the vertical line of the plane.

More specifically, when the incident angle incident on the uneven transparent substrate 200 is θ and the refractive angle is Φ, the incident light is incident on the first light 270 and the recess 200-2 incident on the protrusion 200-1. The difference between the wavelength of the second light 280 and the light generated due to the refraction may be obtained by using the following equations.

First, a distance from the first light 270 incident to the protrusion 200-1 to the same position as the horizontal line of the depression 200-2 is referred to as L ₁ , and the second light incident to the depression 200-2 is performed. If the distance that the light 280 reaches the same horizontal line is L ₂ , L ₁ may be represented by Equation 1 and L ₂ may be represented by Equation 2.

이며

And

In Equation 1, n is a refractive index of the uneven transparent substrate 200.

이다.

to be.

As a result, the above-described difference in distance between L ₁ and L ₂ may be expressed as a difference in wavelength between the first light 270 and the second light 280. If this is expressed

이다.

to be.

In Equation 4, n is a refractive index of the uneven transparent substrate 200, m ₁ and m ₂ is an arbitrary integer value. As a result, the value of the h of the protrusion may be determined so that the first light 270 incident to the protrusion 200-1 and the second light 280 incident to the recess 200-2 maintain the same wavelength at an integer multiple. Can be.

That is, the phase difference between the first light 270 incident through the protrusion 200-1 and the second light 280 incident through the depression 200-2 may be 2 ?. That is, phase modulation corresponding to the image does not occur.

Of course, the integer multiples m ₁ and m ₂ can be changed. In addition, h may be changed to correspond to a wavelength operating in the optical modulator 130.

Here, the period T in which the width of the protrusion 200-1 and the width of the recess 200-2 form a pair may be expressed to satisfy the following inequality.

In Equation 5, 'λs' represents the smallest wavelength among operating wavelengths of the optical modulator, NA is a numerical aperture of the projection light, and β represents the divergence coefficient of the incident light.

The modulated light 250, 260 modulated by the optical modulator 130 and passing through the uneven transparent substrate 200 may not overlap with the reflected light 212, 214, 222, and 224 of the uneven transparent substrate. That is, as described above, the light modulated from the light modulator 130 may pass through the uneven transparent substrate at the same angle as the incident angle θ.

As a result, the reflected light 212, 214, 222, and 224 reflected from one side and the other side of the uneven transparent substrate 200 among the incident light 210 transferred from the illumination optical system 120 to the uneven transparent substrate 200 is The image clarity may be improved by not overlapping with the modulated lights 250 and 260 modulated by the optical modulator 130.

FIG. 3A is a perspective view of one type of diffractive light modulator module using a piezoelectric member among light modulators applicable to the present invention, and FIG. 2B is a view of another type of diffraction type optical modulator using piezoelectric material applicable to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Perspective view. 3A and 3B, an optical modulator including a substrate 315, an insulating layer 325, a sacrificial layer 335, a ribbon structure 345, and a piezoelectric body 355 is shown.

The substrate 315 is a commonly used semiconductor substrate, and the insulating layer 325 is deposited as an etch stop layer, and an etchant for etching a material used as a sacrificial layer, where the etchant is an etching gas or an etching Solution). The reflective layers 325 (a) and 325 (b) may be formed on the insulating layer 325 to reflect incident light 230.

The sacrificial layer 335 supports the ribbon structure 345 on both sides so that the ribbon structure can be spaced apart from the insulating layer 325 at regular intervals, and forms a space at the center.

The ribbon structure 345 serves to light modulate the signal by causing diffraction and interference of incident light as described above. The shape of the ribbon structure 345 may be configured in the form of a plurality of ribbons according to the electrostatic method as described above, or may be provided with a plurality of open holes in the center of the ribbon according to the piezoelectric method.

In addition, the piezoelectric member 355 controls the ribbon structure 345 to move up and down in accordance with the degree of contraction or expansion of up and down or left and right caused by the voltage difference between the upper and lower electrodes. Here, the reflective layers 325 (a) and 325 (b) are formed corresponding to the holes 345 (b) and 345 (d) formed in the ribbon structure 345.

For example, when the wavelength of light is λ, no voltage is applied or a predetermined voltage is applied to the upper reflective layers 345 (a) and 345 (c) and the lower reflective layers 325 (a) formed on the ribbon structure. , The interval between the insulating layers 325 on which 325 (b) is formed is equal to nλ / 2 (n is a natural number).

Therefore, in the case of zero-order diffracted light, the total path difference between the light reflected from the upper reflective layers 345 (a) and 345 (c) formed on the ribbon structure and the light reflected from the insulating layer 325 is equal to nλ, so that constructive interference occurs. The diffracted light has maximum brightness. Here, in the case of + 1st and -1st diffraction light, the brightness of light has a minimum value due to destructive interference.

In addition, when a proper voltage different from the applied voltage is applied to the piezoelectric member 355, the upper reflective layers 345 (a) and 345 (c) and the lower reflective layers 325 (a) and 325 (b) formed on the ribbon structure. The interval between the insulating layers 325 on which? Is formed is equal to (2n + 1) λ / 4 (n is a natural number).

Therefore, in the case of the zero-order diffracted light, the total path difference between the upper reflective layers 345 (a) and 345 (c) formed in the ribbon structure and the light reflected from the insulating layer 325 is equal to (2n + 1) λ / 2, so that the destructive interference The diffracted light has the minimum luminance.

In the case of the + 1st and -1st diffracted light, the luminance of light has a maximum value due to constructive interference. As a result of this interference, the light modulator can load the signal onto the light by adjusting the amount of reflected or diffracted light.

In the above, the case in which the distance between the ribbon structure 345 and the insulating layer 325 on which the lower reflective layers 325 (a) and 325 (b) are formed is nλ / 2 or (2n + 1) λ / 4 has been described. Naturally, various embodiments that can be driven at intervals that can adjust the intensity interfered by the diffraction and reflection of incident light can be applied to the present invention.

Hereinafter, the optical modulator of the type shown in FIG. 3A will be described.

Referring to FIG. 3C, the optical modulator includes a first pixel (pixel # 1), a second pixel (pixel # 2),. And m micromirrors 100-1, 100-2,..., 100-m that are responsible for the m-th pixel (pixel #m). The optical modulator is responsible for the image information for the one-dimensional image of the vertical scanning line or the horizontal scanning line (assuming that the vertical scanning line or the horizontal scanning line is composed of m pixels), and each micromirror 100-1, 100- 2, ..., 100-m) are in charge of any one of m pixels constituting the vertical scan line or the horizontal scan line.

 Thus, the reflected and diffracted light in each micro mirror is then projected on the screen as a two dimensional image by the light scanning device. For example, in the case of VGA 640 * 480 resolution, 640 modulations are performed on one side of an optical scanning device (not shown) for 480 vertical pixels, thereby generating one frame of one screen per side of the optical scanning device.

The optical scanning device may be a polygon mirror, a rotating bar, a galvano mirror, or the like.

Hereinafter, the principle of light modulation will be described based on the first pixel (pixel # 1), but the same may be applied to other pixels.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that there are two holes 345 (b) -1 formed in the ribbon structure 345. Three upper reflective layers 345 (a) -1 are formed on the ribbon structure 345 due to the two holes 345 (b) -1. In the insulating layer 325, two lower reflective layers are formed corresponding to the two holes 345 (b)-1.

In addition, another lower reflective layer is formed on the insulating layer 325 corresponding to the portion of the gap between the first pixel (pixel # 1) and the second pixel (pixel # 2). Therefore, the number of upper reflective layers 345 (a) -1 and lower reflective layers per pixel is the same, and the luminance of modulated light is obtained by using zero-order diffraction light or ± first-order diffraction light as described above with reference to FIG. 3A. It is possible to adjust.

Referring to FIG. 3D, there is shown a schematic diagram in which an image is generated on a screen by a diffractive light modulator array applicable to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Light reflected and diffracted by the m micro mirrors 100-1, 100-2,..., 100-m arranged vertically is reflected by the optical scanning device, and is generated by scanning the screen 375 horizontally. 385-1, 385-2, 385-3, 385-4, ..., 385- (k-3), 385- (k-2), 385- (k-1), 385-k) are shown.

When rotated once in the optical scanning device, one image frame may be projected. Here, the scanning direction is shown in a left to right direction (arrow direction), but it is obvious that the image may be scanned in another direction (for example, the reverse direction).

Preferably, the plurality of micro mirrors is equal to the number of pixels constituting the vertical scan line or the horizontal scan line. Modulated light is light reflecting image information of the vertical scanning line or the horizontal scanning line (i.e., the brightness value of each pixel constituting the vertical scanning line or the horizontal scanning line) to be projected on the screen 490 which will be described below. The order diffracted light, the -n order diffracted light (n is a natural number).

One or more lenses may be included, and the modulated magnification may be adjusted as necessary to match the size of the optical modulator 430 and the size of the scanner 460 to transmit modulated light.

The scanner 460 reflects the modulated light incident from the light modulator 430 at a predetermined angle and projects it onto the screen 490. In this case, the predetermined angle is determined by the scanner control signal input from the image processor 480.

The scanner control signal rotates the scanner 460 at an angle at which the modulated light can be projected at a vertical scan line (or horizontal scan line) position on the screen 490 corresponding to the image control signal in synchronization with the image control signal.

That is, one frame image is projected on the screen 490 by an image control signal, a scanner control signal, and a light source control signal interlocked with each other.

In addition, the image processor 480 receives an image signal corresponding to one frame and controls the light source 410, the light modulator 430, and the scanner 460 according to the image signal. The image processor 480 provides the driver IC 440 with an image control signal corresponding to the brightness information to be displayed for each pixel constituting the frame, and a vertical scan line (or horizontal scan line) is screened according to the image control signal. The rotation angle or rotation speed of the scanner 460 is adjusted to be projected to a predetermined position on the 490.

That is, when the image data is input, the image processor 480 provides the image control signal, the scanner control signal, and the light source control signal to the driver IC 440, the scanner 460, and the light source 410, respectively.
