相位調變元件、可切換2D/3D的顯示裝置、微透鏡陣列、3D顯示裝置與背光模組Phase modulation component, switchable 2D/3D display device, microlens array, 3D display device and backlight module

本發明係有關於相位調變元件與微透鏡陣列,且特別係有關於可切換2D/3D的顯示裝置、3D顯示裝置與背光模組。The present invention relates to a phase modulation element and a microlens array, and more particularly to a switchable 2D/3D display device, a 3D display device, and a backlight module.

液晶顯示器主要包括液晶顯示面板與背光模組。背光模組係設置在液晶顯示面板的下方,以提供液晶顯示面板所需之面光源,如此液晶顯示器才能顯示出影像。The liquid crystal display mainly includes a liquid crystal display panel and a backlight module. The backlight module is disposed under the liquid crystal display panel to provide a surface light source required for the liquid crystal display panel, so that the liquid crystal display can display the image.

液晶顯示器的一個發展方向是為了提高液晶顯示器的顯示效果,會在其中配置與畫素對應的微透鏡陣列以提高各個畫素顯示光線的集中度與亮度。一般微透鏡陣列的製造方法係將模型的形狀轉印至基材,使基材成為具有多數個突出面之設計而折射係數分佈的透鏡結構而製得,製程牽涉製作模型的與塑形基材等繁雜的步驟。由於微透鏡陣列中的透鏡結構須對準畫素,因此製程需要非常精準。隨著液晶顯示器之高精細化與小型化之發展,畫素尺寸也持續微縮化。然而,一般微透鏡陣列受限於製程極限而難以精確地對準畫素,造成液晶顯示器難達到理想的顯示效果。A development direction of the liquid crystal display is to improve the display effect of the liquid crystal display, and a microlens array corresponding to the pixel is arranged therein to improve the concentration and brightness of the light displayed by each pixel. In general, the manufacturing method of the microlens array is to transfer the shape of the model to the substrate, and the substrate is made into a lens structure having a plurality of protruding surface designs and a refractive index distribution, and the process involves molding the molded substrate. Wait for complicated steps. Since the lens structure in the microlens array must be aligned to the pixels, the process needs to be very precise. With the development of high definition and miniaturization of liquid crystal displays, the size of pixels has continued to shrink. However, in general, the microlens array is limited by the process limit and it is difficult to accurately align the pixels, which makes it difficult for the liquid crystal display to achieve an ideal display effect.

液晶顯示器的另一個方向係將一般顯示二維影像顯示畫面之液晶顯示器(也可稱為2D液晶顯示器)發展成能顯示三維影像顯示畫面(也可稱為3D液晶顯示器)。3D顯示技術主要係將提供至左眼及右眼的影像光線分離。一種方法是將液晶顯示面板的縱向畫素分割成提供左眼及右眼訊號的兩種部分,並貼附不同光軸方向的相位延遲膜,使出射光的相位有差異,再搭配左右眼偏振方向不同的眼鏡,便可收視3D影像。然而,相位延遲膜的技術困難且成本高,且使用與光偏振方向有關的相位延遲膜會降低液晶顯示器的光效率與解析度,此外,相位延遲膜貼附在液晶顯示面板上後便無法取下,使得液晶顯示器無法任意地切換顯示2D/3D影像顯示畫面,因此使用上容易造成限制。The other direction of the liquid crystal display is to develop a liquid crystal display (also referred to as a 2D liquid crystal display) that generally displays a two-dimensional image display screen to display a three-dimensional image display screen (also referred to as a 3D liquid crystal display). The 3D display technology mainly separates the image light provided to the left and right eyes. One method is to divide the longitudinal pixels of the liquid crystal display panel into two parts for providing left-eye and right-eye signals, and attach phase retardation films of different optical axis directions, so that the phase of the outgoing light is different, and then the polarization of the left and right eyes is matched. 3D images can be viewed in glasses with different orientations. However, the technique of the phase retardation film is difficult and costly, and the use of the phase retardation film related to the polarization direction of the light reduces the light efficiency and resolution of the liquid crystal display. Further, the phase retardation film cannot be attached after being attached to the liquid crystal display panel. In the meantime, the liquid crystal display cannot be arbitrarily switched to display the 2D/3D image display screen, so the use is liable to be limited.

雖然目前也有發展取代相位延遲膜的其他技術,例如不需使用偏光片的雙層型相位調變元件與剩餘型相位調變元件,然而,雙層型相位調變元件有不容易製作的缺點,而剩餘型相位調變元件對光線的相位調變量太小的缺點。若要增加相位調變量,則必須增液晶單位格(unit cell)的厚度,然這會造成反應時間變慢的問題。Although other techniques for replacing the phase retardation film have been developed, such as a two-layer phase modulation component and a residual phase modulation component that do not require a polarizer, the two-layer phase modulation component has disadvantages that it is not easy to manufacture. The residual phase modulation component has the disadvantage that the phase modulation of the light is too small. To increase the phase modulation variable, the thickness of the liquid crystal unit cell must be increased, which may cause the reaction time to become slow.

In the various embodiments and illustrations of the invention, the same symbols represent the same or similar elements. It should be noted that the illustration shows a very simplified version rather than an exact size.

第一實施例 相位調變元件First Embodiment Phase Modulation Element

第1圖與第2圖顯示根據本發明第一實施例之相位調變元件的立體透視示意圖。第3A至第3C圖為相位調變元件之等效折射率橢球(effective optical index-ellipsoid)示意圖。第4圖顯示相位調變元件在未貼附偏光片與貼附不同角度之偏光片的情況下測試光線相位移的結果。第5A圖與第5B圖顯示測試相位調變元件反應時間的結果。1 and 2 show perspective perspective views of a phase modulation element according to a first embodiment of the present invention. 3A to 3C are schematic diagrams of an effective optical index-ellipsoid of a phase modulation element. Figure 4 shows the results of the phase shifting element testing the phase shift of the light without attaching the polarizer to the polarizer attached to the different angles. Figures 5A and 5B show the results of testing the reaction time of the phase modulation element.

請參考第1圖與第2圖,相位調變元件50包括液晶混合物10、電極板20與電極板30。液晶混合物10配置在電極板20與電極板30之間。液晶混合物10包括藍相液晶14。於較佳實施例中,藍相液晶14為聚合物穩定藍相液晶,此時藍相液晶14具有較大的藍相存在溫度範圍。換言之,為了使藍相液晶14具有較大的藍相存在溫度範圍,液晶混合物10可更包括能穩定藍相液晶14的聚合物18。電極板20與電極板30可為氧化銦錫(ITO)。Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the phase modulation element 50 includes a liquid crystal mixture 10, an electrode plate 20, and an electrode plate 30. The liquid crystal mixture 10 is disposed between the electrode plate 20 and the electrode plate 30. The liquid crystal mixture 10 includes a blue phase liquid crystal 14. In the preferred embodiment, the blue phase liquid crystal 14 is a polymer stabilized blue phase liquid crystal, in which case the blue phase liquid crystal 14 has a relatively large blue phase temperature range. In other words, in order for the blue phase liquid crystal 14 to have a large blue phase temperature range, the liquid crystal mixture 10 may further include a polymer 18 capable of stabilizing the blue phase liquid crystal 14. The electrode plate 20 and the electrode plate 30 may be indium tin oxide (ITO).

相位調變元件50能藉由調控電極板20與電極板30之間的偏壓來決定是否對穿過液晶混合物10的光線產生相位差。The phase modulation element 50 can determine whether or not a phase difference is generated for light passing through the liquid crystal mixture 10 by adjusting the bias voltage between the electrode plate 20 and the electrode plate 30.

請參考第1圖,舉例來說,在未對電極板20與電極板30之間施加偏壓(或偏壓為零)的情況下,藍相液晶14的分佈係分子長軸沿著二維方向週期性螺旋排列,而組成三維的晶格排列結構(可以圖中的虛擬圓柱12的螺旋紋了解藍相液晶14的分佈),且藍相液晶14同時具有雙旋轉(double twist)的排列結構。此時藍相液晶14具有光學等向性,如第3A圖所示,等效折射率橢球係球體。此時相位調變元件50對穿過液晶混合物10的光線不會產生相位差。Referring to FIG. 1, for example, in the case where a bias voltage (or zero bias) is not applied between the electrode plate 20 and the electrode plate 30, the distribution of the blue phase liquid crystal 14 is along the long axis of the molecule. The directions are periodically spirally arranged to form a three-dimensional lattice arrangement structure (the spiral pattern of the virtual cylinder 12 in the figure can be used to understand the distribution of the blue phase liquid crystal 14), and the blue phase liquid crystal 14 has a double twist arrangement at the same time. . At this time, the blue phase liquid crystal 14 has optical isotropic properties, as shown in Fig. 3A, an equivalent refractive index ellipsoidal sphere. At this time, the phase modulation element 50 does not cause a phase difference to the light passing through the liquid crystal mixture 10.

而當在電極板20與電極板30之間施加不為零的偏壓時,藍相液晶14的分子長軸方向會轉變成平行於由偏壓造成之電場的方向。請參考第2圖,舉例來說,當在電極板20與電極板30之間施加偏壓而造成方向垂直於電極板20與電極板30(或平行於電極板20與電極板30的法線方向)的電場時,藍相液晶14的分子長軸方向會隨著電場偏轉垂直於電極板20與電極板30而變得不等向,使得藍相液晶14之等效折射率橢球也不等向,如第3B圖與第3C圖所示,垂直(或Z軸)方向的軸長度大於水平(或X軸、Y軸)方向的軸長度,因此藍相液晶14具有雙折射性質,不同方向的藍相液晶14對光線的折射效果不同,此即克爾效應,此時相位調變元件50對穿過液晶混合物10的光線會產生相位差。此外,隨著偏壓愈大(第3C圖的偏壓V2 大於第3B圖的偏壓V1 ),等效折射率橢球垂直方向之軸長度與水平方向之軸長度之間的差異也愈大,也就是雙折射的程度愈大,此時相位調變元件50能對穿過液晶混合物10的光線產生更大程度的相位差。於一實施例中,相位調變元件50除了對垂直方向之光線產生相位差之外,也能對斜向之光線產生相位差而有補償效果。When a non-zero bias is applied between the electrode plate 20 and the electrode plate 30, the molecular long axis direction of the blue phase liquid crystal 14 is converted into a direction parallel to the electric field caused by the bias voltage. Referring to FIG. 2, for example, when a bias voltage is applied between the electrode plate 20 and the electrode plate 30, the direction is perpendicular to the electrode plate 20 and the electrode plate 30 (or parallel to the normal of the electrode plate 20 and the electrode plate 30). In the electric field of the direction, the molecular long axis direction of the blue phase liquid crystal 14 becomes anisotropic with the electric field deflection perpendicular to the electrode plate 20 and the electrode plate 30, so that the equivalent refractive index ellipsoid of the blue phase liquid crystal 14 is not Isotropic, as shown in Figures 3B and 3C, the axial length in the vertical (or Z-axis) direction is greater than the axial length in the horizontal (or X-axis, Y-axis) direction, so the blue phase liquid crystal 14 has birefringence properties, The direction of the blue phase liquid crystal 14 has a different effect on the refraction of the light, which is the Kerr effect, at which time the phase modulation element 50 produces a phase difference with respect to the light passing through the liquid crystal mixture 10. Further, as the bias voltage is larger (the bias voltage V 2 of FIG. 3C is larger than the bias voltage V 1 of FIG. 3B), the difference between the axial length of the equivalent refractive index ellipsoid and the axial length of the horizontal direction is also The larger, that is, the greater the degree of birefringence, at which point the phase modulation element 50 can produce a greater degree of phase difference to the light passing through the liquid crystal mixture 10. In one embodiment, the phase modulation element 50 can produce a phase difference and a compensating effect on the oblique light, in addition to the phase difference of the light in the vertical direction.

請參照第4圖,使用Mach-Zehnder干涉儀(非偏振之紅光He-Ne雷射,λ=633nm)對相位調變元件進行測試,得到在施加160 Vms之偏壓時,飽和相位移約為1π,且相位差與偏振無關。此外,相位調變元件的反應速度快。如第5A圖與第5B圖所示,在外加偏壓為160Vrms,1k Hz的方波之下,上升時間約為90μs,下降時間約為2.3ms。實驗也發現,單位格的厚度並不會影響相位調變元件的響應速度(未顯示)。Referring to Fig. 4, the phase modulation component is tested using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (unpolarized red He-Ne laser, λ = 633 nm), and the saturation phase shift is obtained when a bias voltage of 160 Vms is applied. It is 1π and the phase difference is independent of polarization. In addition, the phase modulation element has a fast response speed. As shown in Fig. 5A and Fig. 5B, under an applied bias voltage of 160 Vrms, a 1 k Hz square wave, the rise time is about 90 μs, and the fall time is about 2.3 ms. The experiment also found that the thickness of the unit cell does not affect the response speed of the phase modulation element (not shown).

相較於一般的相位延遲膜,本發明之實施例的相位調變元件的結構與製造方法簡單且成本低。相位調變元件不需使用配向層、反應速度快,且與偏振無關,因此光效率佳。此外,相位調變元件能夠以增加厚度及改善材料的方式增加對光線的相位調變量,而不會對響應速度造成負面影響。The structure and manufacturing method of the phase modulation element of the embodiment of the present invention are simple and low in cost compared to a general phase retardation film. The phase modulation element does not need to use an alignment layer, has a fast reaction speed, and is independent of polarization, so the light efficiency is good. In addition, the phase modulation element can increase the phase modulation of the light in a manner that increases the thickness and improves the material without adversely affecting the response speed.

The liquid crystal mixture 60 is disposed between the electrode plate 70 and the substrate 80. The liquid crystal mixture 60 includes a blue phase liquid crystal 64. In a preferred embodiment, liquid crystal mixture 60 may further comprise a polymer 68 that stabilizes blue phase liquid crystal 64. The electrode plate 70 is light transmissive.

於一具體實施例中,係將適當比例之正型液晶(nematic liquid crystal)、旋性物質(chiral dopant)與液晶聚合物單體(liquid crystalline monomer)混合後注入由液晶單元格(unit cell)當中。液晶單元格的上方具有鋁電極板,下方具有氧化銦錫(ITO)電極板。鋁電極板具有圓形開口。然後將單元格的溫度下降至藍相液晶晶格穩定時,此時液晶混合物具有藍相,接著照射紫外光進行聚合。然後將液晶聚合單體分離後即得到微透鏡陣列,其特性相關的分析結果顯示在第8A圖、第8B圖、第9A圖與第9B圖。In a specific embodiment, a suitable proportion of a nematic liquid crystal, a chiral dopant, and a liquid crystalline monomer are mixed and injected into a liquid crystal cell unit cell. among. The liquid crystal cell has an aluminum electrode plate above it and an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode plate below. The aluminum electrode plate has a circular opening. The temperature of the cell is then lowered until the blue phase liquid crystal lattice is stabilized, at which time the liquid crystal mixture has a blue phase, followed by irradiation with ultraviolet light for polymerization. Then, the liquid crystal polymerization monomer was separated to obtain a microlens array, and the characteristic analysis results thereof were shown in Fig. 8A, Fig. 8B, Fig. 9A and Fig. 9B.

請參照第6圖,在未對電極板70與電極部分84之間施加偏壓(或偏壓為零)的情況下,藍相液晶64具有光學等向性,因此液晶混合物60對穿過其中的光線來說具有相同的折射率。請參照第7圖,當在電極部分84與電極板70之間施加偏壓後,由於液晶混合物60中的電場分佈不均勻,會造成等效折射率橢球的軸長分佈也不均勻,因此能偏折光線的方向。於一實施例中,光線能偏折成聚焦於非電極部分82。舉例詳細地說,當在電極部分84與電極板70之間施加方向垂直的偏壓後,由於電場在垂直(Z)方向相對於水平(X、Y)方向的強度(密度)比係從非電極部分82之中心至電極部分84之邊緣的方向逐漸變強(V3 <V4 <V5 ),因此對以例如垂直(Z)方向射入之光線造成的雙折射效果係從非電極部分82之中心至電極部分84之邊緣的方向逐漸變強而能夠偏折光線的方向,並較佳地於非電極部分82產生聚焦的效果,使得從非電極部分82射出之光線的強度變大(可參考第8A圖、第8B圖、第9A圖及第9B圖)。由於微透鏡陣列100與偏振無關,因此光效率佳。Referring to FIG. 6, in the case where a bias voltage (or a bias voltage is zero) is not applied between the electrode plate 70 and the electrode portion 84, the blue phase liquid crystal 64 has optical isotropic properties, so that the liquid crystal mixture 60 pairs pass therethrough. The light has the same refractive index. Referring to FIG. 7, when a bias voltage is applied between the electrode portion 84 and the electrode plate 70, since the electric field distribution in the liquid crystal mixture 60 is uneven, the axial length distribution of the equivalent refractive index ellipsoid is not uniform, so Can deflect the direction of the light. In one embodiment, the light can be deflected to focus on the non-electrode portion 82. For example, in detail, when a direction vertical bias is applied between the electrode portion 84 and the electrode plate 70, the intensity (density) ratio of the electric field in the vertical (Z) direction with respect to the horizontal (X, Y) direction is non-linear. The direction from the center of the electrode portion 82 to the edge of the electrode portion 84 gradually becomes stronger (V 3 < V 4 < V 5 ), and thus the birefringence effect on the light incident in, for example, the vertical (Z) direction is from the non-electrode portion. The direction from the center of the 82 to the edge of the electrode portion 84 gradually becomes stronger to deflect the direction of the light, and preferably the effect of focusing is generated on the non-electrode portion 82, so that the intensity of the light emitted from the non-electrode portion 82 becomes large ( Reference can be made to Figs. 8A, 8B, 9A and 9B). Since the microlens array 100 is independent of polarization, the light efficiency is good.

相較於一般的微透鏡陣列,本發明之實施例的微透鏡陣列的結構與製造方法簡單且成本低。此外,微透鏡陣列可以增加厚度或改善材料以增加對光線的聚焦程度。因此能提高顯示效果。Compared with a general microlens array, the structure and manufacturing method of the microlens array of the embodiment of the present invention are simple and low in cost. In addition, the microlens array can increase the thickness or improve the material to increase the focus on the light. Therefore, the display effect can be improved.

第三實施例 可切換2D/3D的顯示裝置Third Embodiment Switchable 2D/3D display device

第10圖顯示根據本發明第三實施例之可切換2D/3D的顯示裝置的立體示意圖。請參照第10圖,2D液晶顯示器200之液晶顯示面板202的上方設置有相位調變元件150,相位調變元件150可例如包括液晶混合物110、電極板120A、電極板120B、電極板120C、電極板120D、電極板130A、電極板130B、電極板130C、電極板130D、基板205與基板207。Figure 10 is a perspective view showing a switchable 2D/3D display device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 10, a phase modulation component 150 is disposed above the liquid crystal display panel 202 of the 2D liquid crystal display 200. The phase modulation component 150 can include, for example, a liquid crystal mixture 110, an electrode plate 120A, an electrode plate 120B, an electrode plate 120C, and an electrode. The plate 120D, the electrode plate 130A, the electrode plate 130B, the electrode plate 130C, the electrode plate 130D, the substrate 205, and the substrate 207.

請參照第10圖,液晶混合物110、相似於如第1圖與第2圖所述之相位調變元件50的液晶混合物10。電極板120A、電極板120B、電極板120C、與電極板120D、電極板130A、電極板130B、電極板130C與電極板130D相似於如第1圖與第2圖所述之相位調變元件50的電極板20與電極板30。因此,重複的部分在此不贅述。基板205與基板207可例如包括透明的非導電性材料。於一實施例中,電極板120A、電極板120B、電極板120C、電極板120D、電極板130A、電極板130B、電極板130C與電極板130D的長軸方向與偏光板204方向的夾角係±45度。Referring to Fig. 10, a liquid crystal mixture 110 is similar to the liquid crystal mixture 10 of the phase modulation element 50 as described in Figs. 1 and 2. The electrode plate 120A, the electrode plate 120B, the electrode plate 120C, the electrode plate 120D, the electrode plate 130A, the electrode plate 130B, the electrode plate 130C, and the electrode plate 130D are similar to the phase modulation element 50 as described in FIGS. 1 and 2 Electrode plate 20 and electrode plate 30. Therefore, the repeated parts are not described here. Substrate 205 and substrate 207 may, for example, comprise a transparent, non-conductive material. In one embodiment, the angle between the longitudinal direction of the electrode plate 120A, the electrode plate 120B, the electrode plate 120C, the electrode plate 120D, the electrode plate 130A, the electrode plate 130B, the electrode plate 130C, and the electrode plate 130D and the direction of the polarizing plate 204 is ± 45 degree.

請參照第10圖,舉例來說,電極板120A與電極板130A、電極板120B與電極板130B、電極板120C與電極板130C、以及電極板120D與電極板130D之間的偏壓可個別調變,因此可控制相位調變元件150之不同區域對光線的作用以達到預期的顯示效果。舉例來說,於一實施例中,係控制電極板120A與電極板130A之間以及電極板120C與電極板130C之間具有一相同的偏壓,而電極板120B與電極板130B之間以及電極板120D與電極板130D之間具有另一相同的偏壓,使相位調變元件150能對液晶顯示面板202之不同區域射出的光線產生不同的相位差,而達到顯示三維影像顯示畫面的效果。當不施加偏壓(或偏壓為零)至相位調變元件150時,則直接顯示2D液晶顯示器200的二維影像顯示畫面。Referring to FIG. 10, for example, the bias voltage between the electrode plate 120A and the electrode plate 130A, the electrode plate 120B and the electrode plate 130B, the electrode plate 120C and the electrode plate 130C, and the electrode plate 120D and the electrode plate 130D can be individually adjusted. The change can therefore control the effect of different regions of the phase modulation element 150 on the light to achieve the desired display. For example, in one embodiment, there is an identical bias between the electrode plate 120A and the electrode plate 130A and between the electrode plate 120C and the electrode plate 130C, and between the electrode plate 120B and the electrode plate 130B and the electrode. The plate 120D and the electrode plate 130D have another identical bias voltage, so that the phase modulation component 150 can generate different phase differences for the light emitted from different regions of the liquid crystal display panel 202 to achieve the effect of displaying a three-dimensional image display screen. When the bias voltage (or the bias voltage is zero) is applied to the phase modulation element 150, the two-dimensional image display screen of the 2D liquid crystal display 200 is directly displayed.

相位調變元件的製程可與2D液晶顯示器分開,因此相位調變元件可視需求任意地設置在2D液晶顯示器上,或從2D液晶顯示器上移除,因此在使用上具有便利的優點。The process of the phase modulation element can be separated from the 2D liquid crystal display, so that the phase modulation element can be arbitrarily disposed on the 2D liquid crystal display or removed from the 2D liquid crystal display, and thus has a convenient advantage in use.

The direction is carried out to achieve the effect of displaying 3D images.

For example, the light source 300 includes a red light emitting diode 302A, a green light emitting diode 302B, and a blue light emitting diode 302C corresponding to different pixels in one pixel. Since the microlens array 100B has a plurality of non-electrode portions 82D, 82E, and 82F corresponding to the red light emitting diode 302A, the green light emitting diode 302B, and the blue light emitting diode 302C, respectively, the microlens array 100B can be respectively The light emitted from the red light-emitting diode 302A, the green light-emitting diode 302B, and the blue light-emitting diode 302C produces a focusing effect to improve light efficiency.
