Description

显示装置 技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及一种显示装置。 背景技术
现有的液晶显示装置(LCD, Liquid Crystal Display)主要通过一背光源、 一液晶显示面板来显示成像。 液晶显示面板朝向背光源的一面贴附有下偏光 片,背离背光源的一面贴附有上偏光片。下面以扭曲向列型 (Twisted Nematic, TN)常白模式液晶显示器为例筒述液晶显示装置的原理, 其原理为: 由背光 源发出的光经过下偏振片后变为线偏振光, 如果液晶显示面板不加电, 位于 彩膜基板和阵列基板之间的液晶层中液晶分子呈 90度的扭转,则光经过液晶 层后偏振方向旋转 90度,可以通过偏振方向垂直于下偏振片的上偏振片;如 果液晶显示面板加电,则液晶层中液晶分子排列方式改变(沿电场方向排列 ), 光经过液晶层后偏振方向不变, 光线将无法通过上偏振片。
传统的液晶显示装置中,背光源发出的光需要经过上偏振片和下偏振片, 光线透过下偏振片至少要损失掉 50%的光, 再经过阵列基板、 液晶层、 彩膜 基板, 又有大部分光能被吸收, 光线经过上偏振片又损失了部分能量, 最终 光的利用率为 5%左右。 发明内容
本发明的实施例提供了一种显示装置, 采用聚合物分散液晶来形成上下 基板之间的液晶层, 能够提高光的利用率。
一方面, 本发明的实施例提供了一种显示装置, 包括: 显示面板, 包 括: 第一基板; 第二基板, 与所述第一基板对置; 聚合物分散液晶层, 位于 所述第一基板和所述第二基板之间; 多个像素单元,形成在所述第二基板上, 每个所述像素单元中设置有薄膜晶体管; 第一电极, 设置在所述第一基板的 朝向所述聚合物分散液晶层的一侧; 多个第二电极, 设置在所述第二基板朝 向所述聚合物分散液晶层的一侧, 且每个所述第二电极提供在每个像素单元 中; 以及至少一个光源, 每个设置在所述显示面板的侧面, 且为所述显示面 板提供光。 附图说明
为了更清楚地说明本发明实施例的技术方案, 下面将对实施例的附图作 筒单地介绍,显而易见地,下面描述中的附图仅仅涉及本发明的一些实施例, 而非对本发明的限制。

为使本发明实施例的目的、 技术方案和优点更加清楚, 下面将结合本发 明实施例的附图,对本发明实施例的技术方案进行清楚、 完整地描述。显然, 所描述的实施例是本发明的一部分实施例, 而不是全部的实施例。 基于所描 述的本发明的实施例, 本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获 得的所有其他实施例, 都属于本发明保护的范围。
实施例一
本发明实施例提供的一种显示装置的截面结构图如图 1所示, 包括: 显 示面板 1 , 显示面板 1包括: 第一基板 11; 第二基板 13, 与所述第一基板 11 对置; 聚合物分散液晶层 12, 位于第一基板 11和第二基板 13之间; 多个像 素单元, 形成在所述第二基板 13上; 第一电极 14, 设置在第一基板 11朝向 聚合物分散液晶层 12的一侧; 多个第二电极 15, 设置在第二基板 13朝向聚 合物分散液晶层 12的一侧;至少一个光源 4,每个设置在显示面板 1的侧面, 且为显示面板 1提供光。
这里, 为了图示及说明的方便, 附图中仅示出多个像素单元中的一个, 对于其他像素单元其结构与示出的相同, 这里不再逐一赘述。
示例性地, 图 2示出了根据本发明实施例的另一种显示装置的截面结构 图, 该显示装置在图 1示出的显示装置基础上进一步地还包括: 设置于第二 基板 13背离聚合物分散液晶层 12—侧的黑色吸光层 3, 黑色吸光层 3与第 二基板 13之间具有空气间隙 2。黑色吸光层 3可以吸收外界照射到显示面板 1上的光, 避免除光源 4发出的光以外的外界光线对显示面板 1的干扰, 由 于光源 4发出的光大多为横向光,极少一部分光会照射到第二基板 13背离聚 合物分散液晶层 12的一面,黑色吸光层 3与第二基板之间具有空气间隙,利 用空气的折射率小于基板的折射率这一特性, 可以使这一极小部分的光在第 二基板 13背离聚合物^:液晶层 12的一面发生全反射 (即光源发出的光线 不会从第二基板背离聚合物分散液晶层的一面射出) , 减少光源发出的光的 损失。
光可以发生全反射的原因为: 空气的折射率比玻璃的折射率小, 光由光 密(即光在此介质中的折射率大 )介质射到光疏 (即光在此介质中折射率小 ) 介质的界面时, 若入射角度大于临界角 (即光由光密介质射入光疏介质时发 生全反射的最小角度, 光由玻璃射到空气中的临界角为 40度)时,便可发生 全反射。
示例性地, 上述黑色吸光层的材料为黑色矩阵材料。
下面以图 2所示的显示装置为例对根据本发明实施例的显示装置的工作 过程进行筒要说明。
图 3示出了根据本发明实施例的图 2所示的显示装置中的显示面板加电 时的光线传播示意图, 为了筒化, 图 3中并未示出第一电极和第二电极, 如 图 3 所示, 当第一电极和第二电极之间施加电压时, 聚合物分散液晶层 12 中的液晶分子取向沿电场方向, 且所有液晶分子的取向一致, 此时, 透过聚 合物^:液晶层 12的光源 4发出的光将不改变方向,也就是, 即光源 4发出 的光可以从第一基板 11、 第二基板 13及聚合物分散液晶层 12中直线射出, 而不会从第一基板 11背离聚合物分散液晶层 12的一面的表面射出。 这样, 从该显示装置的显示面进行观看, 该显示装置显示为黑态。
图 4示出了根据本发明实施例的显示装置中的显示面板不加电时的光线 传播示意图, 如图 4所示, 当第一电极和第二电极之间不施加电压时, 聚合 物分散液晶层 12中的液晶分子混乱分布, 此时, 聚合物分散液晶层 12将入 射到其中的光源 4发出的光进行散射, 这样, 光源 4发出的光将有大部分从 第一基板 11背离聚合物^:液晶层 12的一面的表面射出, 也就是, 从显示 装置的显示面出射。 由此, 从该显示装置的显示面进行观看, 该显示装置显 示为亮态。
通过调整施加到第一电极和第二电极的电压, 该显示装置能够实现灰阶 显示。
示例性地, 每个第二电极 15可以是面状电极, 第一电极 14可以是面状 电极或包括多个条状子电极。
示例性地, 每个第二电极 15可以包括多个条状子电极, 第一电极 14可 以是面状电极或包括多个条状子电极。
这样, 在每个第二电极和 /或第一电极包括多个条状电极的情况下, 所述 多个第二电极和 /或所述第一电极的面对所述聚合物分散液晶层的一侧还覆 盖有平坦化层。为了筒便,这里仅给出了第一电极 14包括多个条状子电极的 图示, 如图 9所示, 在第一电极 14的面对聚合物分散液晶层 12的一侧还覆 盖有平坦化层 16。
由于本发明实施例提供的显示装置采用光的散射成像, 而不像现有技术 中的显示面板采用偏光片, 靠偏振光的开关通断完成显示, (每一片偏光片 造成至少 50%的光损失, 光透过率仅有 3~10% )。 这样, 本发明实施例提供 的显示装置, 提高了光能的利用率。
示例性地, 第一基板和第二基板为玻璃基板, 或者其它透明材料, 但第 一基板和第二基板的折射率要大于空气的折射率, 这里对第一基板和第二基 板的材料就不再——赘述。 下面结合附图对根据本发明实施例的聚合物分散液晶层 12 的结构进行 描述。
实施例二
图 6示出了根据实施例一的显示装置中采用的聚合物分散液晶层的第一 种结构示意图, 如图 6所示, 聚合物分散液晶层 12的厚度均匀。便于加工和 制造。
实施例三
图 7示出了根据实施例一的显示装置中采用的聚合物分散液晶层的第二 种结构示意图, 如图 7所示, 为了保证显示面板中每一个像素单元接收到的 光强度相同, 上述聚合物分散液晶层 12的厚度可以由中间向两端逐渐减小。 聚合物分散液晶层的厚度越厚, 其散射率越高, 反之, 则越低。
实施例四
图 8示出了根据实施例一的显示装置中采用的聚合物分散液晶层的第三 种结构示意图。 如图 8所示, 为了保证显示面板中每一个像素单元接收到的 光强度相同,上述聚合物分散液晶层 12朝向黑色吸光层的一侧具有与所述显 示装置中的每一个像素单元一一对应弧形凸起。 聚合物分散液晶层的厚度越 厚, 其散射率越高, 反之, 则越低。
上述实施例一、 实施例二、 实施例三以及实施例四中, 聚合物分散液晶 层形状可以通过在基板上做一层树脂, 通过构图工艺形成特定的形状, 或者 采用常规的构图工艺形成, 在此不再赘述。 此外, 上述四个实施例中, 可选 地, 每个光源 4包括冷阴极灯管, 或者上述光源 4包括至少一个灯条, 每一 个灯条上安装有多个发光二级管。
进一步地, 可以提供有四个光源 4, 每个光源分别设置在显示面板 1的 四个侧面。对于显示面板, 一般都有四个侧面, 灯条分别设置在每一个侧面, 便于为显示面板提供均匀的光源。
示例性地,可以提供有两个光源 4,每个光源可以分别设置在显示面板 1 的的相邻的两个侧面, 图 5示出了根据本发明实施例的另一种显示装置的截 面结构图, 如图 4所示, 两个光源 4分别设置在显示面板 1的四个侧面中相 邻的两个侧面, 而显示面板 1的另外两个侧面上分别设置有反射涂层 5。 反 射涂层 5的设置可以防止光线的泄露, 同时可以减小灯条的数目, 提高光源 的利用率。
示例性地,可以提供有两个光源 4,每个光源可以分别设置在显示面板 1 的的相对的两个侧面, 而显示面板 1的另外两个侧面上分别设置有反射涂层 示例性地, 第一基板可以是彩膜基板, 第二基板可以是阵列基板。
本发明实施例提供的显示装置, 总体上来说与现有技术的显示装置的制 作流程基本一致, 可以分为三部分: 1. 阵列基板制作; 2. 对盒工艺; 3.模 组组装。
其中: 阵列基板制作的工艺与现有技术的阵列基板的制作工艺基本上完 全一致, 主要是在在玻璃基板上形成 TFT阵列和电极结构。
对盒工艺与现有技术的显示装置的对盒工艺区别是:
一、 不需要取向工艺, 节省了制备时间。
二、 用混合有聚合物单体的液晶代替普通液晶。
三、 在形成液晶盒之后要对液晶中的单体进行紫外聚合, 形成聚合物分 散液晶层。
模组组装过程中, 不需要偏光片贴附, 不需要背光模组, 但是要根据上 述各个实施例中的内容, 将光源设置在显示面板的侧面。
聚合物分散液晶(PDLC, polymer dispersed liquid crystal )的制备方法大 体可分为相分离法和微胶嚢封装法, 现在应用较多的是相分离法。 相分离法 主要包括聚合引发相分离(PIPS) 、 热引发相分离(TIPS) 和溶剂引发相分离 ( SIPS) 。 其中聚合相分离方法由于具有工艺筒单易控制, 固化速度快, 毒性 小等优点而受到重视, 在工业生产中得到广泛应用。 按照固化条件的不同, 聚合相分离方法又分为热固化 、 紫外光 (UV) 固化和电子束 (EB)固化 3种。 脱离本发明的精神和范围。 这样, 倘若本发明的这些修改和变型属于本发明 权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内, 则本发明也意图包含这些改动和变型在 内。
