Description

光學裝置及應用該光學裝置之顯示器Optical device and display using the same

本發明涉及光學領域,尤其涉及光學裝置及應用光學裝置之顯示器。The present invention relates to the field of optics, and in particular to an optical device and a display using the optical device.

現今在可攜式3C產品,尤其在具有顯示面板的3C產品上,常貼附視角控制片(privacy filter)以保護隱私。視角控制片藉由限制光線的光路,使旁人的眼睛與顯示面板間超過一特定角度時就無法看到顯示面板上所顯示的資訊。這對於商務人士在飛機或鐵路上使用電腦、或是對於重視個人隱私的人都有極大的幫助。At present, in portable 3C products, especially 3C products with display panels, a privacy filter is often attached to protect privacy. The viewing angle control film restricts the light path of the light, so that the information displayed on the display panel cannot be seen when the distance between the eyes of the other person and the display panel exceeds a specific angle. This is a great help for business people using computers on airplanes or railways, or for those who value personal privacy.

目前是將視角控制片設置於顯示面板之表面上來達到保護隱私的功效,然而,此種設計方式會影響顯示面板的光學性質。一般常見的缺點在於貼附視角控制片後,顯示面板的亮度變暗。此外,若是改變使用場合,例如,在小空間以3C產品分享資訊時,需要廣視角模式讓更多人可以看到顯示面板上的資訊,此時僅能手動將視角控制片移除,在視角切換的操作上相當不方便,且視角控制片移除也常因為形變而難以再次利用。Currently, the viewing angle control sheet is set on the surface of the display panel to achieve the effect of protecting privacy. However, this design method will affect the optical properties of the display panel. A common disadvantage is that after the viewing angle control sheet is attached, the brightness of the display panel becomes dark. In addition, if the use occasion is changed, for example, when sharing information with 3C products in a small space, a wide viewing angle mode is required so that more people can see the information on the display panel. At this time, you can only manually remove the viewing angle control film, and The operation of switching is rather inconvenient, and the removal of the viewing angle control sheet is often difficult to reuse due to deformation.

參閱圖1及圖2,分別為本發明之光學裝置之第一實施例在第一模式的示意圖以及在第二模式的示意圖。如圖1及圖2所示,在本實施例中,光學裝置1包含光開關元件10以及光轉換元件20。光開關元件1具有至少一第一區11以及至少一第二區13,其中第一區11及第二區13分別對應不同的視角模式。光開關元件10包含至少一第一電極15、至少一第二電極17以及開關介質層19。第二電極17至少位於第二區13中,開關介質層19位於第一電極17以及第二電極19之間,第一電極15及第二電極17舉例係以透明導電材料所製成。開關介質層19為高分子分散型液晶(polymer dispersed liquid crystal,PDLC)層或高分子網路液晶(polymer network liquid crystal,PNLC)層。Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of an optical device of the present invention in a first mode and a schematic diagram of a second mode are shown, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the optical device 1 includes an optical switching element 10 and a light conversion element 20. The optical switching element 1 has at least a first region 11 and at least a second region 13, wherein the first region 11 and the second region 13 respectively correspond to different viewing angle modes. The optical switching element 10 includes at least a first electrode 15, at least a second electrode 17, and a switching dielectric layer 19. The second electrode 17 is located at least in the second region 13. The switching dielectric layer 19 is located between the first electrode 17 and the second electrode 19. The first electrode 15 and the second electrode 17 are made of a transparent conductive material, for example. The switching medium layer 19 is a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer or a polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) layer.

高分子分散型液晶層或高分子網路液晶層係利用液晶分子分散於高分子膜中,使液晶形成球狀或是形成三維網路狀。其特性在於受電壓驅動時,亮、暗態有明顯的變化。當施加電壓時,高分子分散型液晶或高分子網路液晶層的分子受電場驅動而偏轉,使光線以特定方向通過而呈亮態;當未施加電壓時,高分子分散型液晶或高分子網路液晶層的分子未偏轉,此時光線被反射或散射、無法穿透而成暗態。The polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer or the polymer network liquid crystal layer uses liquid crystal molecules to be dispersed in a polymer film, so that the liquid crystal is formed into a spherical shape or a three-dimensional network shape. Its characteristic is that when driven by voltage, the light and dark states have obvious changes. When a voltage is applied, the molecules of the polymer-dispersed liquid crystal or polymer network liquid crystal layer are driven by an electric field to deflect, allowing light to pass in a specific direction to appear bright; when no voltage is applied, the polymer-dispersed liquid crystal or polymer Molecules in the liquid crystal layer of the network are not deflected. At this time, the light is reflected or scattered and cannot penetrate into a dark state.

在此,光學裝置1的操作係藉由施加電壓於第一電極15或第二電極17,產生電場控制光開關元件10中第一區11或第二區13之液晶的偏轉。在本申請案的後續描述中,將施加電壓使開關介質層19偏轉能使光線穿透時,定義為開啟,並將未施加電壓無法使光線通過,定義為關閉。此外,在第一模式時將第一區11開啟,而將第二區13相對應地關閉。相對地,在第二模式時將第二區13開啟,而將第一區11相對應地關閉。Here, the operation of the optical device 1 is to control the deflection of the liquid crystal in the first region 11 or the second region 13 in the optical switching element 10 by generating an electric field by applying a voltage to the first electrode 15 or the second electrode 17. In the subsequent description of this application, when a voltage is applied to deflect the switching dielectric layer 19 to allow light to pass through, it is defined as being turned on, and no voltage is applied to fail to let light through, defined as being turned off. In addition, in the first mode, the first region 11 is turned on, and the second region 13 is turned off correspondingly. In contrast, in the second mode, the second region 13 is turned on, and the first region 11 is correspondingly turned off.

光轉換元件20相對於光開關元件10設置,舉例為與光開關元件10為相互貼附的雙層結構,亦可以相互具有間隔。光轉換元件20包含至少一第一部21以及至少一第二部23,其中第一部21對應第一區11,且第二部23對應第二區13。在此,第一部21中可以為空白區,而第二部23係光轉換區,第二區23包含光轉換粒子25,光轉換粒子25為量子點、量子柱或上述組合。The light conversion element 20 is provided relative to the light switching element 10. For example, the light conversion element 20 is a two-layer structure that is attached to the light switching element 10, and may be spaced from each other. The light conversion element 20 includes at least a first portion 21 and at least a second portion 23, wherein the first portion 21 corresponds to the first region 11 and the second portion 23 corresponds to the second region 13. Here, the first portion 21 may be a blank area, and the second portion 23 is a light conversion area. The second area 23 includes light conversion particles 25, and the light conversion particles 25 are quantum dots, quantum columns, or a combination thereof.

在圖1中,呈現開啟第一區11、關閉第二區13的第一模式。在此實施例中,以光源模組30為直下式光源為示例,但不限於此。光源模組30在第一模式時提供白光。白光光線經過第一區11及第一部21,由於光線受到第一區11中之開關介質層19的液晶偏轉方向限制,出光路徑僅朝向特定方向,特定方向舉例係為正視視角方向。同時,第二區13的開關介質層19的液晶未偏轉,若有白光光線經過第二區13時,受到開關介質層19中液晶的影響,白光光線會反射或散射而無法通過,從而呈現白光光線僅通過第一部21並朝向特定方向的狀態,也就是發光視角朝向特定方向,因此,第一模式呈現窄視角的隱私模式。In FIG. 1, a first mode in which the first region 11 is turned on and the second region 13 is turned off is presented. In this embodiment, the light source module 30 is a direct-type light source as an example, but it is not limited thereto. The light source module 30 provides white light in the first mode. The white light rays pass through the first region 11 and the first portion 21. Since the light rays are restricted by the liquid crystal deflection direction of the switching dielectric layer 19 in the first region 11, the light exit path only faces a specific direction, and the specific direction is, for example, a front view direction. At the same time, the liquid crystal of the switching medium layer 19 in the second region 13 is not deflected. If white light passes through the second region 13 and is affected by the liquid crystal in the switching medium layer 19, the white light may be reflected or scattered and cannot pass through, thereby showing white light. A state in which the light only passes through the first part 21 and faces a specific direction, that is, the light emission angle is directed to a specific direction. Therefore, the first mode presents a privacy mode with a narrow viewing angle.

在圖2中,呈現開啟第二區13且關閉第一區11的第二模式。光源模組30在第二模式時提供非白光。第一區11的開關介質層19的液晶未偏轉,非白光經過第一區11時受阻擋而無法通過。非白光光線經過第二區13後進入第二部23,激發第二部23中的光轉換粒子25。當光轉換粒子25受到激發,會將非白光轉換為白光,並且散射以形成全周光。在此,最後呈現的光路是白光,並以全周光的形式朝各方向發出,第二模式呈現廣視角的分享模式。由於白光與非白光的波長相異,激發光轉換粒子25需要較高的能量,非白光係以波長300奈米至500奈米的藍光波段來實現,在此僅為示例,但不限於此,紫光、紫外光等短波長光源亦可達到此效果。In FIG. 2, a second mode in which the second region 13 is turned on and the first region 11 is turned off is presented. The light source module 30 provides non-white light in the second mode. The liquid crystal of the switching medium layer 19 in the first region 11 is not deflected, and non-white light is blocked from passing through the first region 11 and cannot pass through. The non-white light enters the second part 23 after passing through the second area 13, and excites the light conversion particles 25 in the second part 23. When the light-converting particles 25 are excited, they convert non-white light into white light and scatter to form a full-circumferential light. Here, the light path finally presented is white light, which is emitted in all directions in the form of full ambient light, and the second mode presents a wide-angle sharing mode. Because the wavelengths of white light and non-white light are different, the excitation light conversion particles 25 require higher energy. The non-white light is realized in a blue light band with a wavelength of 300 nm to 500 nm. This is only an example, but not limited to this. Short-wavelength light sources such as violet and ultraviolet light can also achieve this effect.

在本實施例中,第一區11、第二區13的開啟關閉須配合切換光源模組30產生白光、非白光來達成切換窄視角、廣視角的功能。光源模組30包含第一光源31A及第二光源31B,第一光源31A係對應於第一區11、而第二光源31B對應於第二區13,第一光源31A產生白光,而第二光源31B產生非白光。In this embodiment, the opening and closing of the first area 11 and the second area 13 must cooperate with the switching light source module 30 to generate white light and non-white light to achieve the function of switching between a narrow viewing angle and a wide viewing angle. The light source module 30 includes a first light source 31A and a second light source 31B. The first light source 31A corresponds to the first area 11 and the second light source 31B corresponds to the second area 13. The first light source 31A generates white light and the second light source 31B produces non-white light.

進一步地,第一光源31A及第二光源31B可以為發光二極體(light-emitting diode,LED)或有機發光二極體(organic light-emitting diode,OLED)光源,第一光源31A包含紅光LED或OLED、綠光LED或OLED、藍光LED或OLED,全部開啟以產生白光,而第二光源31B僅包含藍光LED或OLED,產生波長300奈米至500奈米的藍光波段的非白光。在第一模式時開啟第一光源31A、關閉第二光源31B,而在第二模式時開啟31B、關閉第一光源31A來達到此效果。在此僅為示例,但不限於此,在變化例中,光源模組30之第一光源31A及第二光源31B均採用包含紅光LED或OLED、綠光LED或OLED、藍光LED或OLED之配置方式,在第一模式時將第一光源31A及第二光源31B全部開啟,以產生白光,在第二模式時僅開啟藍光LED或OLED,並進一步增強藍光LED或OLED的功率來達成。Further, the first light source 31A and the second light source 31B may be light-emitting diode (LED) or organic light-emitting diode (OLED) light sources, and the first light source 31A includes red light. The LED or OLED, the green LED or OLED, and the blue LED or OLED are all turned on to generate white light, and the second light source 31B includes only the blue LED or OLED and generates non-white light in a blue light band with a wavelength of 300 nm to 500 nm. In the first mode, the first light source 31A is turned on and the second light source 31B is turned off, and in the second mode, 31B is turned on and the first light source 31A is turned off to achieve this effect. This is only an example, but it is not limited to this. In the modified example, the first light source 31A and the second light source 31B of the light source module 30 are both red LED or OLED, green LED or OLED, blue LED or OLED In the configuration mode, the first light source 31A and the second light source 31B are all turned on in the first mode to generate white light, and only the blue LED or OLED is turned on in the second mode, and the power of the blue LED or OLED is further enhanced to achieve.

此外,第二部23之寬度W2B 舉例為大於或等於第二區13之寬度W2A ,這限制了進入第二部23之非白光光線的來源,由於在此所稱之非白光具有較大的能量,藉此結構設計可以避免在第二模式時,非白光漏光而傷害使用者的眼睛,以此設計達到保護使用者眼睛的功效,同時也避免因為非白光漏光而造成色差或其他光學的變異。In addition, the width W 2B of the second portion 23 is exemplified as being greater than or equal to the width W 2A of the second region 13, which limits the source of the non-white light rays entering the second portion 23. Energy, this structure design can avoid the non-white light leakage in the second mode to harm the user ’s eyes, so as to achieve the effect of protecting the user ’s eyes, and also avoid the chromatic aberration or other optical caused by non-white light leakage. variation.

更進一步地,參閱圖3A及圖3B,分別為本發明之光轉換元件之不同實施例的俯視示意圖。如圖3A所示,由俯視觀之,光轉換元件20的第一部21及第二部23為直條狀交錯分布。而如圖3B所示,光轉換元件20的第二部23呈交錯的線條或網狀,使得第一部21呈多個分離之格狀排列。在此僅為示例,但不限於此,例如,第一部21及第二部23亦可做其他的分佈方式,例如,第一部21及第二部23為斜條狀交錯等。Further, referring to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, schematic top views of different embodiments of the light conversion element according to the present invention are shown. As shown in FIG. 3A, the first portion 21 and the second portion 23 of the light conversion element 20 are staggered and distributed in a straight shape when viewed from a top view. As shown in FIG. 3B, the second portion 23 of the light conversion element 20 has a staggered line or mesh shape, so that the first portion 21 is arranged in a plurality of separated grids. This is only an example, but it is not limited to this. For example, the first portion 21 and the second portion 23 can also be distributed in other ways, for example, the first portion 21 and the second portion 23 are diagonally staggered.

又進一步地,光源模組30設置於光開關元件10下方。例如光開關元件10、光轉換元件20與光源模組30組合為背光模組。也就是,光學裝置1與光源模組30可以獨立設置,也可以組合設置,在光學裝置1與光源模組30共同組合為背光模組時,透過控制光源模組30產生的不同光線、並控制光開關元件10對應地開啟或關閉,控制背光模組的出光光路在第一模式時呈特定方向,而在第二模式時呈全周光,控制背光模組的光路決定發光視角模式。Still further, the light source module 30 is disposed below the optical switching element 10. For example, the light switching element 10, the light conversion element 20 and the light source module 30 are combined into a backlight module. That is, the optical device 1 and the light source module 30 can be independently set or combined. When the optical device 1 and the light source module 30 are combined into a backlight module, different light generated by the light source module 30 is controlled and controlled. The optical switching element 10 is correspondingly turned on or off. The light path of the backlight module is controlled in a specific direction in the first mode, and it is a full-circle light in the second mode. The light path of the backlight module is controlled to determine the light-emitting viewing angle mode.

參閱圖4及圖5,分別為本發明之光學裝置之第二實施例在第一模式的示意圖及在第二模式的示意圖。如圖4及圖5所示,第二實施例與第一實施例的差異主要在於光學裝置1更包含菱鏡片40。菱鏡片40包含菱鏡區41,且菱鏡區上有複數個菱鏡微結構411,且菱鏡區41對應於第一區11。如圖4所示,菱鏡區41中的菱鏡微結構411能將光源模組30的產生的光線偏折朝向特定方向,尤其重要的是,在第一模式時,將白光光線偏折朝向第一區11而呈現窄視角模式。Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of an optical device according to the present invention in a first mode and a schematic diagram in a second mode are shown, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is mainly that the optical device 1 further includes a diamond lens 40. The diamond lens 40 includes a diamond lens region 41, and a plurality of diamond lens microstructures 411 are arranged on the diamond lens region, and the diamond lens region 41 corresponds to the first region 11. As shown in FIG. 4, the lenticular microstructure 411 in the lenticular mirror region 41 can deflect the light generated by the light source module 30 toward a specific direction. It is particularly important to deflect the white light ray in the first mode. The first region 11 exhibits a narrow viewing angle mode.

圖4及圖5採用的光源模組30舉例是側光式光源,在此,光源模組30包含光源第一光源31A、第二光源31B及導光板33,在此實施例中,第一光源31A位於導光板33的一側,用以產生白光,而第二光源31B位於導光板33相對於第一光源31B的另一側,用以產生非白光。在此僅為示例,而非用以限制,在變化例中,將第一光源31A及第二光源31B均採用包含紅光LED或OLED、綠光LED或OLED、藍光LED或OLED之配置方式,在第一模式時將第一光源31A及第二光源31B全部開啟,以產生白光,在第二模式時關閉紅光LED及綠光LED,並增加藍光LED的發光強度來達到同樣的功效。The light source module 30 used in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 is an example of an edge-light type light source. Here, the light source module 30 includes a light source first light source 31A, a second light source 31B, and a light guide plate 33. In this embodiment, the first light source 31A is located on one side of the light guide plate 33 to generate white light, and the second light source 31B is located on the other side of the light guide plate 33 relative to the first light source 31B to generate non-white light. This is only an example, not a limitation. In the modified example, the first light source 31A and the second light source 31B are both configured with a red LED or OLED, a green LED or OLED, and a blue LED or OLED. In the first mode, the first light source 31A and the second light source 31B are all turned on to generate white light, and in the second mode, the red LED and the green LED are turned off, and the luminous intensity of the blue LED is increased to achieve the same effect.

一般而言,側光式光源模組30產生的光線,在經過導光板33進入第一區11或第二區13前並無特定的方向,此時,透過菱鏡微結構411將光線導向特定方向。如圖4所示,在第一模式時,第一光源31A產生的白光光線,經由導光板33及菱鏡結構411導向第一區11,再經由第一部21後發出。如圖5所示,在第二模式時,第二光源31B產生的非白光光線,經導光板33導向第二區13後,通過偏轉的開關介質層19而進入第二部23中,並激發第二部23中的光轉換粒子25。部分的非白光光線進入菱鏡結構411時,仍被導向第一區11,但受到開關介質層19中未偏轉的液晶阻擋而無法通過。在一些實施例中,菱鏡片40可以包含一層或多層,可以依據光源的設計來配置,使調整光線朝特定方向,以符合第一模式窄視角的需求。Generally speaking, the light generated by the edge-light type light source module 30 has no specific direction before entering the first area 11 or the second area 13 through the light guide plate 33. At this time, the light is directed to the specific area through the diamond microstructure 411 direction. As shown in FIG. 4, in the first mode, the white light rays generated by the first light source 31A are guided to the first region 11 through the light guide plate 33 and the prism structure 411, and then emitted after passing through the first portion 21. As shown in FIG. 5, in the second mode, the non-white light generated by the second light source 31B is guided to the second area 13 by the light guide plate 33, and then enters the second portion 23 through the deflected switching medium layer 19 and is excited. Light-converting particles 25 in the second section 23. When part of the non-white light enters the prism structure 411, it is still guided to the first region 11, but is blocked by the undeflected liquid crystal in the switching medium layer 19 and cannot pass through. In some embodiments, the diamond lens 40 may include one or more layers, which may be configured according to the design of the light source so that the adjustment light is directed in a specific direction to meet the requirement of a narrow viewing angle in the first mode.

如圖5所示,在第二模式時,開啟光源模組30的第二光源31B以產生波長300奈米至500奈米的藍光波段的非白光,並關閉第一光源31A。非白光通過第二區13進入第二部23,激發光轉換粒子25而產生白光全周光。另外,當非白光未進入第二區13,非白光會受到菱鏡區41的導向至第一區11,受到開關介質層19的阻擋而反射或散射,而不會進入第一部21中。藉此,也可避免非白光進入第一部21中產生色差或其他光學性質的變異。As shown in FIG. 5, in the second mode, the second light source 31B of the light source module 30 is turned on to generate non-white light in a blue light band with a wavelength of 300 nm to 500 nm, and the first light source 31A is turned off. Non-white light enters the second portion 23 through the second region 13 and excites the light-converting particles 25 to generate white light all-circumferential light. In addition, when the non-white light does not enter the second region 13, the non-white light is guided to the first region 11 by the diamond mirror region 41 and is blocked or reflected by the switching dielectric layer 19 without entering the first portion 21. Thereby, non-white light can be prevented from entering the first portion 21 to generate chromatic aberration or other optical property variations.

在圖4及圖5中,光開關元件10、光轉換元件20、光源模組30與菱鏡片40可以獨立設置,也可以組合設置,例如,將光開關元件10、光轉換元件20、光源模組30以及菱鏡片40共同組合為背光模組。In FIGS. 4 and 5, the optical switching element 10, the light converting element 20, the light source module 30, and the prism lens 40 may be independently provided or combined. For example, the optical switching element 10, the light converting element 20, and the light source module may be provided. The group 30 and the diamond lens 40 are combined into a backlight module.

更進一步地,菱鏡區41的寬度W3 大於或等於第一區11之寬度W1 ,藉此限制了光學路徑,也避免白光光線進入第二部23中而造成視角改變、或是非白光進入第一部21中。更進一步地,當第二部23中的光轉換粒子25為量子柱時,量子柱的長軸平行於菱鏡區41中菱鏡微結構411的延長軸A1,延長軸的方向為進出於圖面的方向。Furthermore, the width W 3 of the prism region 41 is greater than or equal to the width W 1 of the first region 11, thereby restricting the optical path, and preventing white light rays from entering the second portion 23 and causing a change in viewing angle or non-white light. First 21. Furthermore, when the light-converting particles 25 in the second part 23 are quantum columns, the long axis of the quantum column is parallel to the extension axis A1 of the prism mirror microstructure 411 in the diamond mirror region 41. Face orientation.

Combined with the light source module 30 into a backlight module.

As shown in FIG. 9, the display 100 of the fourth embodiment is different from the foregoing embodiment. In this embodiment, the optical device 1 is disposed between the first substrate 51 and the second substrate 52 of the display 100. The first substrate 51 is an array substrate and the second substrate 52 is a color filter substrate, but this is only an example and is not limited thereto.
