Representative sensors among various sensors that may be included in the sensing unit 140 will be described in more detail.

First, the proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object approaching a predetermined detection surface or an object present in the vicinity without using a mechanical contact by using an electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 may be disposed at an inner region of the HMD covered by the touch screen as described above or near the touch screen.

Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor. When the touch input means of the user input unit 123 is capacitive, the proximity sensor 141 may be configured to detect the proximity of the object by the change of the electric field according to the proximity of the conductive object. In this case, the user input unit 123 itself may be classified as a proximity sensor.

On the other hand, for convenience of description, the "proximity touch" to the action that the object is not close to the contact on the user input unit 123 to recognize that the object is located on the user input unit 123 "proximity touch" The action of actually contacting an object on the user input unit 123 is referred to as a "contact touch." The position where the object is in close proximity touch on the user input unit 123 refers to a position where the object is perpendicular to the user input unit 123 when the object is in close proximity touch. The proximity sensor 141 may detect a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (for example, a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, and a proximity touch movement state). have. Meanwhile, the controller 180 processes data (or information) corresponding to the proximity touch operation and the proximity touch pattern detected through the proximity sensor 141 as described above, and further, provides visual information corresponding to the processed data. It can be output on the display unit 151. Furthermore, the controller 180 may control the HMD 100 to process different operations or data (or information) according to whether the touch on the same point on the user input unit 123 is a proximity touch or a touch touch. Can be.

The touch sensor senses a touch (or touch input) applied to the user input unit 123 using at least one of various touch methods such as a resistive film type, a capacitive type, an infrared type, an ultrasonic type, and a magnetic field type.

As an example, the touch sensor may be configured to convert a change in pressure applied to a specific portion of the user input unit 123 or capacitance generated at a specific portion into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor may be configured to detect a position, an area, a pressure at the touch, a capacitance at the touch, and the like, when the touch object applying the touch on the user input unit 123 is touched on the touch sensor. Here, the touch object is an object applying a touch to the touch sensor and may be, for example, a finger, a touch pen or a stylus pen, a pointer, or the like.

As such, when there is a touch input to the touch sensor, the corresponding signal (s) is sent to the touch controller. The touch controller processes the signal (s) and then transmits the corresponding data to the controller 180. As a result, the controller 180 can determine which area of the user input unit 123 is touched. Here, the touch controller may be a separate component from the controller 180 or may be the controller 180 itself.

The controller 180 may perform different control or perform the same control according to the type of the touch object, which touches the user input unit 123. Whether to perform different control or the same control according to the type of touch object may be determined according to the operation state of the current HMD 100 or an application program being executed.

Meanwhile, the touch sensor and the proximity sensor described above may be independently or combined, and may be a short (or tap) touch, a long touch, a multi touch, or a drag touch on the user input unit 123. (drag touch), flick touch, pinch-in touch, pinch-out touch, swipe touch, hovering touch, etc. Various types of touch can be sensed.

The ultrasonic sensor may recognize location information of a sensing object using ultrasonic waves. On the other hand, the controller 180 can calculate the position of the wave generation source through the information detected from the optical sensor and the plurality of ultrasonic sensors. The position of the wave source can be calculated using the property that the light is much faster than the ultrasonic wave, that is, the time that the light reaches the optical sensor is much faster than the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the ultrasonic sensor. More specifically, the position of the wave generation source may be calculated using a time difference from the time when the ultrasonic wave reaches the light as the reference signal.

More specifically, the photo sensor mounts a photo diode and a transistor (TR) in a row / column and scans contents mounted on the photo sensor by using an electrical signal that varies according to the amount of light applied to the photo diode. That is, the photo sensor calculates coordinates of the sensing object according to the amount of light change, and thus, the position information of the sensing object can be obtained.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an enlarged view of a black matrix BM of a conventional display module 151. As shown in FIG. 2, a screen displayed when a fine black matrix BM is enlarged by a lens. The lines that intersect perpendicular to the are shown in a lattice pattern. This is a phenomenon in which a grid between pixels is recognized when the display module 151 ′ of the portable electronic device is enlarged through the lens unit 80 to view an image, which is called a screen door effect phenomenon.

FIG. 3 is a view for explaining a phenomenon in which a conventional grid pattern is visually recognized. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG. 3.

The phenomenon is a phenomenon in which the black matrix of the gate electrode 51 and the data electrode 52 stands out in the form of a net as a whole through the lens unit 80.

First, a backlight unit 70 (BLU) is disposed at a rear side of a conventional general display module 151 ′, particularly an LCD, and light emitted from the backlight unit 70 passes through the liquid crystal layer 40. Then, it passes through the

color filters

21, 22, and 23 and is visually recognized by the user's eyes. In this case, the black matrix 30 is positioned between the

color filters

21, 22, and 23, and the light emitted from the backlight unit 70 is absorbed by the black matrix 30. Therefore, the light not passing through the black matrix 30 is visually recognized in the colors of R, G, and B, and the light directed toward the black matrix 30 does not reach the eyes of the user. Will be.

In an embodiment of the present invention, in order to remove the plaid pattern as described above, an improvement was made by using a Micro Lens Array Pattern.

Hereinafter, the structure of the display module 151 according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 4A, 4B, and 4C are conceptual views illustrating the structure of a display module according to an embodiment of the present invention.

4A, 4B, and 4C, the display module according to the present invention includes a backlight unit 410, a first polarizing plate 420, a TFT substrate 430, a liquid crystal panel 440, and a color filter substrate. 450, a second polarizer 460, and a lens pad 470.

The backlight unit 410 may be formed to emit light, and the first polarizer 420 may be overlapped with the backlight unit 410.

The TFT substrate 430 is disposed above the first polarizing plate 420, and the TFT electrodes are arranged.

The liquid crystal panel 440 is formed on the TFT substrate 420, and receives power through the first polarizing plate 420 through electric connection with a TFT electrode arranged on the TFT substrate 420. Can generate an image.

A color filter 450a of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) is disposed on the color filter substrate 450 so as to overlap the liquid crystal panel 440 and is arranged with a predetermined separation space therebetween. And a black matrix 450b disposed in the separation space.

The color filters 450a of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) are sequentially sequential to form a color filter pattern. Light passing through each of the color filters 450a of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) forms a subpixel, and the color filters 450a of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) Red light, green light, and blue light passing through) form a pixel.

The black matrix 450b is disposed between the color filters 450a of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) to improve contrast, and the black matrix 450b provides contrast of contrast. Can be improved.

The black matrix 450b is a light shielding area for preventing light leakage and is formed on the color filter substrate 450 at regular intervals, and is generally a color of red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The filter 450a is distinguished from each other, and is made of a photosensitive inorganic material to which black pigment is added. As said black pigment, carbon black, titanium oxide, etc. are used, for example.

That is, the color filter 450a is formed by alternately arranging color filter patterns of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) between the black matrices 450b. The irradiated light passes through the liquid crystal panel 440 to impart color. The color filter 450a is usually made of a photosensitive inorganic material.

As such, a black matrix 450b is formed on the color pattern substrate 450 of the display module 151 to prevent light leakage.

Further, the second polarizer 460 is disposed to overlap the color filter substrate.

The first and

second polarizers

420 and 460 may be disposed at both sides with the liquid crystal panel 440 therebetween. Further, the first polarizer 420 may be disposed at any position as long as it is disposed between the liquid crystal panel 440 and the backlight unit 410.

The lens pad 470 may be disposed on the second polarizer 460 to cover each of the red, green, and blue color filters 450a and the first lens area 470a. The second lens region 470b may extend to cover at least a portion of the black matrix 450b.

As shown, the second lens region 470b is configured such that at least a portion of the light passing through the color filter substrate 470 is refracted toward the upper space of the black matrix 450b. It is made to have a second exit surface inclined with respect to the first exit surface of. As illustrated, the emission surface (first emission surface) of the first lens region 470a may be flat, and the emission surface (second emission surface) of the second lens region 470b may be curved.

Meanwhile, an incident surface of the lens pad 470 facing the second polarizer 460 may be a plane.

As shown, the thickness of the second lens area 470b decreases as it moves away from the first lens area 470a, so that the first lens area 470a is flat and the second lens area 470b is flat. It may have a curved shape.

The first lens region 470a may be formed to cover at least a portion of the black matrix 450b.

In addition, the second lens area may be disposed with a predetermined spaced distance between another neighboring second lens area.

As such, the light emitted from the backlight unit 410 may include the first polarizer 420, the liquid crystal panel 440, the color filter 450, the second polarizer 460, and the lens pad 470. It has a light emission path that passes through and is emitted to the outside.

As described above, when the display module according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided in the head mounted display 100, the display module exists between pixels in the display module 151 such as an OLED or LCD. As the black matrix is enlarged by the lens 480 provided in the head mounted display 100, the phenomenon of being visible to the user can be improved.

That is, since the light passing through the color filter substrate 470 through the second lens area 470b is refracted toward the upper space of the black matrix 450b, the black matrix 450b may be hidden by the user's eyes. .

In an embodiment of the present invention, the lens pad 470 forms a Micro Lens Array Pattern. By forming the Micro Lens Pad on the upper side of the display module 151, the original image without deterioration of the lattice pattern and deterioration of image quality is maintained as it is. I could acknowledge it.

If a conventional grid is removed, a sheet may be inserted between the lens unit 470 and the display module 151. In this case, the size of the lens unit 470 and the display module 151 may be In addition, since a minimum thickness is required before and after the sheet, not only an unnecessary air gap is increased, but also the grid pattern disappears, but the overall image quality is deteriorated. In other words, the image itself may be blurred and the brightness may be degraded, and the image quality may be degraded.

On the other hand, if there is no additional sheet as in the embodiment of the present invention, there is almost no increase in the thickness of the display module 151, and the image quality of the display module 151 can be visually recognized while reducing the grid pattern. There is an advantage.

At this time, in the embodiment of the present invention, the lens pad 470 has a center area flat and both ends thereof are curved downward toward the upper substrate 220. The lens pad 470 may be curved from an area that does not overlap the color filter 450a. That is, the lens pad 470 is disposed at the outermost part of the display module 151 and is formed to be inclined downward and rounded.

FIG. 5A is a diagram illustrating a case where a plurality of micro lenses are provided in one pixel as a comparative example, and FIG. 5B is a diagram illustrating a path of light in the display module 151 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Drawing.

First, referring to FIG. 5A, a micro lens array (MLA) film 26 having a micro lens 25 is attached to a substrate 24 so that light traveling from bottom to top is refracted. . In this case, when light that does not face the black matrix 30 is incident on the microlens 25, a problem may occur in which the screen may be blurred by light scattering. That is, in FIG. 5A, the light of the R1 region is unnecessary refracted light, and the light of the R2 region is the desired refracted light, and the grid pattern is not visible by the light of the R2 region.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5B, only one lens pad 290 is provided in one unit pixel to prevent unnecessary refractive light.

Referring to FIG. 5B, in the transmissive area A1, light passing through the color filter 450a is directed toward the front to be visible to the user's eyes, and in the black matrix area A2, the light is passed above the black matrix 450b. The black matrix 230 is not visible when viewed from the front of the black matrix area A2 by the lens pad 470 that is positioned and curved. As described above, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the lens pads 470 are formed to correspond to the color filters 450a, respectively, and the black matrix regions in which the light passing through the respective color filters 450a are disposed adjacent to each other ( Refracted by A2).

The display module 151 may be an LCD. In this case, a backlight unit 410 is provided below the lower substrate TFT, and the upper substrate 450 and the TFT on the color filter substrate are provided. The liquid crystal panel 440 may be further included between the substrates 430. In addition, the display module 151 may be an OLED. In this case, the backlight unit, as described above with reference to FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C, becomes unnecessary, and further, at least one of the first and second polarizers may not be provided. Can be. As a result, in the case of OLED, the thickness of the display module is reduced.

Hereinafter, the display module 151 corresponding to the OLED will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 6A, 6B, and 6C are conceptual views illustrating a structure of a display module according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

In the case of OLEDs, as illustrated in FIG. 6B, a polarizer 540 may be further disposed. However, in the case of OLED, the polarizing plate 540 exists to prevent light from being reflected out of the display panel in a bright place, and in the case of the HMD 100 which does not require such visibility, the polarizing plate may not exist (FIG. 6c).

In the TFT substrate 510, a TFT electrode is arranged, and the light source unit 520 includes a plurality of light sources disposed on the TFT substrate and electrically connected to the TFT substrate.

Here, the light source unit 520 may be formed of a white light source (or a white light source), and in this case, the black matrix substrate 530 may further include a color filter. When the light source unit 520 is a white light source, color filters of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) may be sequentially disposed in the light emission area 530a.

The light source unit 520 may be formed of red, green, and blue light sources, and in this case, the color filter may not be included.

In addition, the light source unit 520 may include a blue light source (blue light source), and in this case, a color filter for converting the blue light source into red light and green light may be provided.

The black matrix provided in the black matrix area 530b is disposed between the color filters 450a of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) to improve contrast, and the black matrix is contrasted. To improve the contrast.

The black matrix is a light shielding area for preventing light leakage, and is formed on the black matrix substrate 530 at regular intervals, and is generally provided between the light emitting areas 530a to provide red (R) light, Mixing of green (G) light and blue (B) light can be prevented. Furthermore, the black matrix consists of a photosensitive inorganic material with black pigment added. As said black pigment, carbon black, titanium oxide, etc. are used, for example.

On the other hand, the display module according to the present invention, may be implemented flexibly, in this case, the black matrix may be made of an organic material.

The lens pad 550 extends from the first lens region 550a formed to cover each of the light emission regions 530a and the first lens region 550a, and includes at least a portion of the black matrix region 530b. The second lens region 550b may cover the gap.

As illustrated in FIG. 6B, when the display module includes the polarizer 540, the lens pad 550 may be disposed on the polarizer 540.

In addition, when the display module does not include the polarizer 540, the lens pad 550 may be disposed on the black matrix substrate 530.

In addition, the display module according to the present invention may further include an encap layer. When the display module is not provided with the polarizer 540, the lens pad 550 is different from the encap layer. Can be deployed.

In this case, the black matrix substrate 530, the encap layer, and the lens pad 550 may be stacked in this order.

On the other hand, as shown in the drawing, the second lens region 550b is configured such that at least a part of the light passing through the light emitting region 530a is refracted toward the upper space of the black matrix or the black matrix region 530b. 1, the second emission surface inclined with respect to the first emission surface of the lens region 550a. As illustrated, the emission surface (first emission surface) of the first lens region 550a may be flat, and the emission surface (second emission surface) of the second lens region 550b may be curved.

Meanwhile, the incident surface of the lens pad 550 may be a plane.

As shown, the thickness of the second lens area 550b decreases as it moves away from the first lens area 550a, so that the first lens area 550a is flat and the second lens area 550b is flat. It may have a curved shape.

The first lens region 550a may be formed to cover at least a portion of the black matrix region 530b.

In addition, the second lens area 550b may be disposed with a predetermined distance from another adjacent second lens area.

As described above, the light emitting path 520 sequentially passes through the black matrix substrate 530 and the lens pad 550 and is emitted to the outside.

With this configuration, the light incident through the flat area, which is the light emitting area of the pixel, is visually recognized, and the lens pad is curved in the black matrix area, that is, the edge part. To form desired refractive light. That is, the black matrix region is not shown optically by refracting the light lost from the side of the color filter through the lens pad to form the front surface. This can be applied regardless of the lens type and can be applied without degrading the basic quality of the display module 151.

7A and 7B are partial conceptual views of an OLED structure and an LCD structure including a lens pad according to an embodiment of the present invention, which will be described below with reference to FIGS. 7A and 7B.

As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the red pixel R, the green pixel G, the blue pixel B, and the white pixel W are spaced apart from each other, and each pixel R, G, B, When the black matrix BM is disposed between W,

respective lens pads

291, 292, 293, and 294 are disposed on the respective pixels R, G, B, and W. As shown in FIG. Therefore, all can be applied regardless of the specific pixel structure.

In addition, OLEDs generally have a large black matrix structure with an aperture ratio of less than about 20% compared to LCDs, so that even if the screen size is increased and a low magnification lens is used, the lattice pattern of the OLEDs is more visible than LCDs. Therefore, OLED can be said to be more effective for improving visibility than LCD.

8A, 8B, 8C, 8D, 8E, and 8F are schematic views illustrating a manufacturing process of a lens pad according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 illustrates an embodiment of the present invention. The flowchart of the formation process of the lens pad is accordingly.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, an exposure (UV exposure) S120 for exposing to ultraviolet rays is performed. The exposure (S120) process may perform a back or front exposure. 8B illustrates backside exposure. Thereafter, as illustrated in FIG. 8C, development S130 is performed. The photoresist 131 in the region overlapping the black matrix 133 is removed by the developing process.

Then, as shown in Figure 8d, the photoresist 131 is melted (S140). The inorganic thin film 131 is turned into an inorganic lens by a photoresist melting process S140. At this time, both ends of the inorganic thin film 131 is formed to be curved. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8E, dry etching (S150) by plasma ions is performed. Both ends of the inorganic lens 131 are refined more precisely by the dry etching (S150) process. Finally, as shown in FIG. 8F, a post treatment process S160 is performed to improve surface roughness.

Since the process is just an example, the manufacturing process of the lens pad 290 is not limited thereto, and the lens pad 290 may be formed by a mold method, a gravure offset method, or the like.
