技术领域
本申请涉及显示技术领域,尤其涉及一种显示装置和电子设备。
背景技术
随着液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)的广泛应用,液晶显示器的使用场景也越来越多样化,在不同的使用场景下,用户对液晶显示器的显示效果也有着不同的需求。例如,在一些使用场景中,需要液晶显示器具备较高的对比度表现,即液晶显示器在全白屏状态和全黑屏状态亮度的比值。但是受限于液晶显示器的背光源式显示原理,以及液晶显示面板中液晶材料和驱动方式的限制,使得部分液晶显示器的对比度只能达到1500的表现。为了提升液晶显示器的对比度,有些厂家开始对液晶显示器中的背光模组进行改良。例如,可以采用直下式背光设计,将背光模组设置在液晶显示面板的背部,并增加背光模组中光源的使用数量,使背光模组随着显示画面的内容进行部分区域的亮暗调配,以协助液晶显示面板达到亮度更低的暗态效果和亮度更高的亮态效果,进而提升液晶显示器的整体对比度。但是当背光模组中光源的配置数量较低时,无法实现较高精度的亮暗调节,因此,会影响液晶显示器的显示效果。当背光模组中光源的配置数量较低时,为了达到良好的亮暗显示效果会明显增加制作成本和液晶显示器的整体重量。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种有利于提升显示面板显示效果且便于制作的显示装置和电子设备。
一方面,本申请提供了一种显示装置,包括背光组件、调光组件、显示面板和第一偏光片。其中,背光组件用于产生偏振光,从而可以为显示面板提供用于显示图像的光源。调光组件设置在背光组件的一侧,用于对背光组件所产生的偏振光进行偏转或者不进行偏转。第一偏光片设置在调光组件和显示面板之间,用于透出与自身的透振方向相同的偏振光。在本申请提供的显示装置中,背光组件所产生的偏振光首先要经过调光组件,经调光组件后,若调光组件不对偏振光进行偏转,则偏振光可以保持原有的振动方向直接透出。或者偏振光也可以经调光组件对其振动方向进行偏转后再透出。经调光组件后的偏振光在经过第一偏光片时,若偏振光的振动方向与第一偏光片的透振方向一致,则偏振光可以透出,此时,显示面板可以接收到光强较高的光线,从而可以显示出具有良好亮态效果的画面。若偏振光的振动方向与第一偏光片的透振方向相互垂直,则偏振光不能透出,此时,显示面板则不能接收到有效的光线,从而可以显示出具有良好黑态效果的画面。
在具体实施时,调光组件可以包括第一基板、第二基板、液晶层和驱动电路。具体来说,第一基板与第二基板相对设置,液晶层设置在第一基板和第二基板之间;驱动电路设置于第一基板,用于驱动液晶层中的液晶进行偏转,以对偏振光的振动方向进行偏转。在具体配置时,驱动电路可以包括薄膜晶体管和存储电容等。可以理解的是,驱动电路设置于第一基板和/或第二基板指的是,驱动电路可以设置于第一基板或第二基板,也可以同时设置在第一基板和第二基板上。
在进行制作时,第一基板和第二基板可以采用软性材料进行制作。例如,第一基板和第二基板可以采用透明聚酰亚胺(CPI)进行制作,以有效防止摩尔纹等现象,同时还能有效降低调光组件的重量。可以理解的是,在另外的实施方式中,第一基板和第二基板也可以采用玻璃,聚酰亚胺(polyimide,PI),三羧酸循环(tricarboxylic acid cycle,TAC),聚碳酸酯(polycarbonate,PC),涤纶树脂(polyethylene terephthalate,PET)等或材料特性具有低光相位延迟(如Rth<300nm)的材料进行制作。
另外,第一基板和第二基板可以选用相同的材料也可以采用不同的材料。
例如,第一基板和第二基板可以采用折射率不同的材料进行制作,以提升调光组件的透光率。
或者,也可以对第一基板的板面进行雾化处理;例如,可以在第一基板的远离液晶层的板面设置凸起、凹槽,以提升调光组件的透光率,同时还能有效防止摩尔纹等现象。或者,也可以在第一基板的远离液晶层的板面设置增透膜,以提升调光组件的透光率。
在其他的实施方式中,也可以在第二基板的远离液晶层的板面(图中的上板面)设置凸起、凹槽或者增透膜中的任意一种。或者,也可以在第一基板和第二基板上均设置上述的凸起、凹槽或增透膜。
在另一些实施方式中,为了防止出现摩尔纹等不良现象,在显示面板和调光组件之间还可以设置扩散膜。扩散膜可以改善偏振光的视场角分布,同时还能有效保持偏振光原有的振动方向。例如,扩散膜可以使偏振光的视场角提升10°以上,且能够将偏振光的振动方向保持在90%以上。
在具体配置时,扩散膜可以设置在第一偏光片和第一基板之间,也可以设置在第一偏光片和第四基板之间。另外,扩散膜可以采用聚碳酸酯、聚酰亚胺等材料进行制作,且扩散膜的厚度可以根据实际情况进行适应性调整。本申请对此不作限定。
另外,在具体实施时,为了实现人机交互等功能,调光组件中还设有光电元件。当外界光源(如用户使用的红外激光笔)照射在显示装置上时,外界光源会透过显示面板和第一偏光片,并透射在调光组件中。当光电元件感测到外界光源后,便可判断出外界光源的具体照射位置,从而实现人机交互的目的。在具体实施时,调光组件的每个调光单元中均可以配置一个光电元件或一个以上光电元件,以有效提升对外界光源照射位置的精度。
在一些实现方式中,光电元件可以设置在第一基板或第二基板上,也可以在第一基板和第二基板上均设置。其中,光电元件可以是光敏电阻、光敏二极管、光敏三激光等。
在对显示面板进行配置时,显示面板可以包括面板本体和第二偏光片;其中,面板本体包括第三基板、第四基板、液晶层、彩色滤光片以及驱动电路。具体来说,第三基板与第四基板相对设置,液晶层设置在第三基板和第四基板之间;驱动电路设置于第三基板,用于驱动液晶层中的液晶进行偏转,以对偏振光的振动方向进行偏转。在具体配置时,驱动电路可以包括薄膜晶体管和存储电容等。可以理解的是,驱动电路可以设置于第三基板 或第四基板,也可以同时设置在第三基板和第四基板上。
彩色滤光片设置在第三基板上,当偏振光透过液晶层后经彩色滤光片对光线进行过滤,从而使显示面板显示出彩色画面。或彩色滤光片亦可设置在第四基板上。
第二偏光片设置于第三基板的远离液晶层的板面上,用于透出与其透振方向一致的偏振光。
另外,在显示面板中,可以配备多个像素单元。其中,所配备的像素单元的数量可以根据实际需求作适应性选择和调整。例如,像素单元的数量可以配备1920*1080个。相应的,为了使得调光组件能够对每个像素单元的进光量进行有效调控,调光组件中也可以配备1920*1080个调光单元。即多个调光单元与多个像素单元一一对应设置,每个调光单元可以对透射到对应的像素单元的光线进行主动调节,以对该像素单元的进光量进行有效控制。
或者,在另一些实现方式中,调光单元的配置数量也可以小于像素单元的配置数量。即单个调光单元也可以对应多个像素单元进行配置。或者,可以理解的是,在对应于单个调光单元的区域中,可以配置有多个像素单元,以使单个调光单元能够对对应的多个像素单元的进光量进行有效控制。
另外,调光组件还可以对背光组件的光线进行匀化处理,以提升显示装置的显示效果。
例如,背光组件中可以配置多个背光单元,每个背光单元中可以至少配备一个点光源。其中,背光单元的数量可以小于调光单元的配置数量。由于点光源的发光具有不均匀性,即点光源中心位置的光强较高,而点光源周围区域的光强较弱。为了使得显示面板能够接收到均匀光强的面光源,调光组件可以对光线较强的区域和光线较弱区域的偏振光进行不同的偏转处理,以使透过第一偏光片的偏振光具有均匀的光强。
另一方面,本申请还提供了一种电子设备,包括壳体和上述的显示装置,显示装置安装于壳体。其中,显示装置安装于壳体具体来说可以是,壳体可以设置用于固定安装显示装置的容纳槽,当显示装置固定安装在容纳槽内后,显示面板能够外露于壳体的外表面。在具体实施时,电子设备可以是显示器、电视、手机、笔记本电脑、智能手表等。

具体实施方式
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
为了方便理解本申请实施例提供的显示装置,下面首先介绍一下其应用场景。
本申请实施例提供的显示装置可应用在显示器、手机、笔记本电脑、智能手表等电子设备中,用于显示文字、图片等信息,或响应用户的触摸、滑动等操作以达到人机交互的目的。
在实际应用中,被广泛使用的显示装置主要包括液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)。液晶显示器中主要包括液晶面板和背光源,在外加电场的作用下,利用液晶分子的排列方向发生变化,使背光源的透光率发生改变,从而透射出不同的亮度,以达到图像显示的目的。但是,在实际使用过程中,液晶显示器不能对亮、暗画面进行有效兼顾。例如,在所显示的图像中,有些区域的画面需要体现出较高的亮度(如白色画面),另一些区域的画面需要体现出较低的亮度(如黑色画面),但是,在实际应用时,液晶显示器无法对画面亮度较低的区域进行有效抑制,从而不能达到较好的黑态效果,因此,液晶显示器的对比度很难得到有效的提升。
基于目前的显示装置所存在的上述问题,本申请实施例提供了一种能够有利于提升对比度的显示装置。
为了使本申请的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合附图和具体实施例对本申请作进一步地详细描述。
以下实施例中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定实施例的目的,而并非旨在作为对本申请的限制。如在本申请的说明书和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样,单数表达形式“一个”、“一种”、“上述”、“该”和“这一”旨在也包括例如“一个或多个”这种表达形式,除非其上下文中明确地有相反指示。还应当理解,在本申请以下各实施例中,“至少一个”、“一个或多个”是指一个、两个或两个以上。术语“和/或”,用于描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系;例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A,同时存在A和B,单独存在B的情况,其中A、B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。
在本说明书中描述的参考“一个实施例”或“一些实施例”等意味着在本申请的一个或多个实施例中包括结合该实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特点。由此,在本说明书中的不同之处出现的语句“在一个实施例中”、“在一些实施例中”、“在其他一些实施例中”、“在另外一些实施例中”等不是必然都参考相同的实施例,而是意味着“一个或多个但不是所有的实施例”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。术语“包括”、“包含”、“具有”及它们的变形都意味着“包括但不限于”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。
为了便于理解本申请技术方案,下面首先对偏振光的特性进行简单介绍。
光是一种横波,在自然光中(如太阳、电灯等普通光源发出的光),包含着在垂直于传播方向上沿一切方向振动的光。把自然光转化为偏振光的过程叫做起偏,用于这种转化的光学器件称为起偏器(如偏光片)。自然光通过起偏器后,只有振动方向与起偏器的透振方向一致的光才能通过。也就是说,通过起偏器的光,只沿着特定的方向振动,这种光 叫做偏振光。当偏振光经过检偏器(如偏光片)时,若偏振光的振动方向与检偏器的透振方向一致,则偏振光可以通过。若偏振光的振动方向与检偏器的透振方向相互垂直,则偏振光不能通过。若偏振光的振动方向与检偏器的透振方向呈夹角(0°至90°之间)设置,则部分偏振光可以通过,其中,偏振光的透过率取决于该夹角的大小,即偏振光的振动方向与检偏器的透振方向之间的夹角越小时,偏振光的透过率越大,反之透过率越小。
本申请实施例提供的显示装置基于偏振光的上述特性来实现较低的暗态亮度显示,从而提升对比度。
如图1所示,在本申请实施例提供的一种显示装置10中,包括背光组件11、调光组件12、显示面板13和第一偏光片14。其中,背光组件11用于产生偏振光,从而可以为显示面板13提供用于显示图像的光线。调光组件12设置在背光组件11的一侧,用于对背光组件11所产生的偏振光的振动方向进行偏转或者不进行偏转。第一偏光片14设置在调光组件12和显示面板13之间,用于透出与自身的透振方向相同的偏振光。
具体来说,背光组件11所产生的偏振光首先要经过调光组件12,经调光组件12后,若调光组件12不对偏振光进行偏转,则偏振光可以保持原有的振动方向直接透出。或者偏振光也可以经调光组件12对其振动方向进行偏转后再透出。经调光组件12后的偏振光在经过第一偏光片14时,若偏振光的振动方向与第一偏光片14的透振方向一致,则偏振光可以透出,此时,显示面板13可以接收到光强较高的光线,从而可以显示出具有良好亮态效果的画面。若偏振光的振动方向与第一偏光片14的透振方向相互垂直,则偏振光不能透出,此时,显示面板13则不能接收到有效的光线,从而可以显示出具有良好黑态效果的画面。
例如,如图1所示,当背光组件11所产生的偏振光为偏振光S,且第一偏光片14的透振方向与偏振光S的振动方向一致时。若调光组件12不对偏振光S的振动方向进行偏转,则显示面板13可以接收到光强较强的光线。
如图2所示,偏振光S和偏振光P的振动方向相互垂直。当背光组件11所产生的偏振光为偏振光S,且第一偏光片14的透振方向与偏振光S的振动方向一致时。若调光组件12将偏振光S的振动方向偏转90°(即调光组件12将偏振光S转化为偏振光P),当偏振光P经过第一偏光片14时,由于第一偏光片14的透振方向与偏振光S的振动方向相互垂直,则偏振光P会被第一偏光片14阻挡,显示面板13则不能接收到有效的光线,从而可以使得显示面板13显示出具备良好黑态效果的画面。
在具体实施时,调光组件12中可以配置有多个调光单元,每个调光单元可以对偏振光的振动方向进行独立调节,请结合参阅图3至图6。
如图3所示,背光组件11能够产生偏振光S。
如图4所示,调光组件12中配置有6个调光单元,其中,调光单元120b、调光单元120c以及调光单元120d不对偏振光进行偏转;调光单元120a、调光单元120e以及调光单元120f用于将偏振光的偏振方向偏转90°。
请结合参阅图5,当背光组件11的偏振光S经过调光单元120b、调光单元120c以及调光单元120d后,透出的光线仍为偏振光S;当背光组件11的偏振光S经过调光单元120a、调光单元120e以及调光单元120f后,透出的光线转变为偏振光P。
请结合参阅图6,示出了透射到显示面板13上的偏振光亮暗分布。当偏振光S和偏振光P透过第一偏光片14时,由于第一偏光片14的透振方向与偏振光S的振动方向一致, 且第一偏光片14的透振方向与偏振光P的振动方向相互垂直,因此,在第一偏光片14对应于调光单元120b、调光单元120c以及调光单元120d的区域,偏振光S能够被有效透出;在第一偏光片14对应于调光单元120a、调光单元120e以及调光单元120f的区域,偏振光P被有效阻挡。
在具体配置时,显示面板13中可以配置多个像素单元,且调光单元的数量与像素单元的数量可以相同。即多个调光单元与多个像素单元一一对应设置,每个调光单元可以对透射到对应的像素单元的光线进行主动调节,以对该像素单元的进光量进行有效控制。或者,在另一些实施方式中,单个调光单元也可以对应多个像素单元进行配置。具体来说,在对应于单个调光单元的区域中,可以配置有多个像素单元,以使单个调光单元能够对对应的多个像素单元的进光量进行有效控制。
在进行设置时,调光组件12的结构形式可以是多样的。
例如,如图7所示,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,调光组件12包括第一基板121、第二基板122、液晶层123和驱动电路(图中未示出)。具体来说,第一基板121与第二基板122相对设置,液晶层123设置在第一基板121和第二基板122之间;驱动电路设置于第一基板121,用于驱动液晶层123中的液晶进行偏转,以对偏振光的振动方向进行偏转。在具体配置时,驱动电路可以包括薄膜晶体管和存储电容等。可以理解的是,驱动电路可以设置于第一基板121或第二基板122,也可以同时设置在第一基板121和第二基板122上。
在第一基板121和第二基板122朝向液晶层123的板面上均设有配向膜(图中未示出),在驱动电路不施加电压的情况下,液晶层123中液晶分子的排列会依照上、下配向膜而定。具体来说,当上、下配向膜的角度差为90°时,液晶分子的排列由上而下会自动旋转90度。当偏振光经过液晶层123时,由于液晶分子总共旋转了90°,所以偏振光穿过液晶层123后,偏振光的振动方向被液晶层旋转90°。当驱动电路对液晶层123施加电压时,液晶分子的排列方向会倾向平行于电场方向,从而使得液晶分子的排列方向趋于向同一方向排列,或使液晶分子的整体旋转方向小于90°。当偏振光经过液晶层123时,偏振光的振动方向不发生改变,或振动方向的偏转角度小于90°。
相应的,当上、下配向膜的角度差为0°时,液晶分子的排列与上、下配向膜的角度相同。当偏振光经过液晶层123时,偏振光不发生偏转。当驱动电路对液晶层123施加电压时,使液晶分子的排列方向产生偏转。当液晶分子的旋转角度趋于90°时,偏振光穿过液晶层123后,偏振光的振动方向被液晶层123旋转90°。当液晶分子的旋转方向小于90°时,偏振光经过液晶层123后,偏振光的振动方向偏转角度小于90°。
可以理解的是,在上述的实施例中,液晶分子通过在水平方向的旋转(平行于第三基板的方向)的方式来改变偏振光的振动方向。在其他的实施方式中,液晶分子的偏转方向也可以是垂直式(垂直于第三基板的方向)或胆固醇液晶的立体式。即,显示面板的具体类型本申请不作限定。在进行制作时,第一基板121和第二基板122可以采用软性材料进行制作。例如,第一基板121和第二基板122可以采用透明聚酰亚胺(CPI),聚酰亚胺(polyimide,PI),三羧酸循环(tricarboxylic acid cycle,TAC),聚碳酸酯(polycarbonate,PC),涤纶树脂(polyethylene terephthalate,PET)等或材料特性具有低光相位延迟(Rth<300nm)的材料进行制作。并且可以在第一基板或第二基板的板面进行雾化处理,以有效防止摩尔纹等现象,同时还能有效降低调光组件12的重量。可以理解的是,在另外的实施 方式中,第一基板121和第二基板122可以选用相同的材料也可以采用不同的材料。
例如,第一基板121和第二基板122可以采用折射率不同的材料进行制作,以提升调光组件12的透光率。
或者,如图8所示,可以在第一基板121的远离液晶层123的板面(图中的上板面)设置凸起121a、凹槽121b或者增透膜121c中的任意一种,以提升调光组件12的透光率。
在其他的实施方式中,也可以在第二基板122的远离液晶层123的板面设置上述的凸起121a、凹槽121b或者增透膜121c中的任意一种。或者,也可以在第一基板121和第二基板122上均设置上述的凸起121a、凹槽121b或者增透膜121c。
在具体实施时,显示面板13可以为液晶显示面板13。
如图7所示,在本申请提供的实施例中,显示面板13包括面板本体131和第二偏光片132;其中,面板本体131包括第三基板1311、第四基板1312、液晶层1313、彩色滤光片1314以及驱动电路(图中未示出)。具体来说,第三基板1311与第四基板1312相对设置,液晶层1313设置在第三基板1311和第四基板1312之间;驱动电路设置于第三基板1311,用于驱动液晶层1313中的液晶进行偏转,以对偏振光的振动方向进行偏转。在具体配置时,驱动电路可以包括薄膜晶体管和存储电容等。可以理解的是,驱动电路可以设置于第三基板1311或第四基板1312,也可以同时设置在第三基板1311和第四基板1312上。
彩色滤光片1314设置在第三基板1311上,当偏振光透过液晶层1313后经彩色滤光片1314对光线进行过滤,从而使显示面板13显示出彩色画面。可以理解的是,在其他的实施方式中,彩色滤光片1314也可以设置在第四基板1312上。
第二偏光片132设置于第三基板1311的远离液晶层1313的板面上,用于透出与其透振方向一致的偏振光。
为了便于理解显示装置10的显示原理,下面将对亮态和暗态两种画面显示效果进行具体说明。
首先说明的是,偏振光S的振动方向与第一偏光片14和第二偏光片132的透振方向一致,且偏振光S与偏振光P的振动方向相互垂直。
如图7所示,当显示装置10显示亮态画面时。
背光组件11产生偏振光S(假设偏振光S所占比例为100%),偏振光S经过调光组件12时,调光组件12不对偏振光S的振动方向进行偏转。由于偏振光S的振动方向与第一偏光片14的透振方向一致,因此,偏振光S能够有效的透出第一偏光片14。当偏振光S经过显示面板13时,显示面板13中的液晶层不会对偏振光S的振动方向进行偏转。由于偏振光S的振动方向与第二偏光片132的透振方向一致,因此,偏振光S能够有效的透出第二偏光片132。在此过程中,由于第一偏光片14以及第二偏光片132均没有对背光组件11所产生的偏振光S形成有效阻挡,因此,最终显示装置10会显示出亮态画面。
如图9所示,当显示装置10显示暗态画面时。
背光组件11产生偏振光S,偏振光S经过调光组件12时,调光组件12将偏振光S的振动方向偏转90°,使偏振光S转化为偏振光P。当偏振光P经过第一偏光片14时,由于偏振光P的振动方向与第一偏光片14的透振方向相互垂直,因此,第一偏光片14对偏振光P形成了有效阻挡,因此,显示面板13不会接收到有效的光线,从而可以达到良好的暗态显示效果。在实际情况下,由于背光组件11所产生的偏振光中,除了包含偏振光S外,还会包括一部分杂散光P’(其中,杂散光P’与偏振光P的振动方向相同),因此, 仍然会有少量的杂散光P’进入调光组件12中。当背光组件11所产生的杂散光P’经过调光组件12时,在调光组件12的作用下,杂散光P’的振动方向偏转90°,即杂散光P’转化为杂散光S’(其中,杂散光S’的振动方向与偏振光S的振动方向相同)。由于杂散光S’的振动方向与第一偏光片14的透振方向相同,因此,该部分杂散光S’会透射到显示面板13中,此时显示面板13中的液晶层1313会对杂散光S’的振动方向偏转90°,以将杂散光S’转化为杂散光P’(其中,杂散光P’与偏振光P的振动方向相同),由于杂散光P’的振动方向与第二偏光片132的透振方向相互垂直,因此,第二偏光片132对杂散光P’形成了有效阻挡。在此过程中,由于第一偏光片14对偏振光P形成了有效阻挡,且第二偏光片132对杂散光P’形成了有效阻挡,因此,最终显示装置10会显示出暗态画面。
可以理解的是,在另外的实施方式中,第一偏光片14和第二偏光片132的透振方向也可以相互垂直;或者,背光组件11所产生的偏振光S的振动方向也可以与第一偏光片14的透振方向相互垂直。相应的,在对偏振光进行处理时,也可以根据所需显示的画面效果,使调光组件12中的液晶层123以及显示面板13中的液晶层1313对偏振光的偏振方向进行偏转。另外,在结构设置上,第一偏光片14可以贴合在第四基板1312的远离液晶层1313的板面上(图中的下板面),也可以将第一偏光片14贴合在第一基板121的远离液晶层123的板面上(图中的上板面),本申请对此不作具体限定。
另外,在具体设置时,显示面板13和调光组件12之间保持一定的间隙,以防止出现摩尔纹等不良现象。其中,该间隙的宽度可以保持在0.5μm以上。或者在另外的实施方式中,显示面板13和调光组件12也可以贴合设置。例如,可以在显示面板13和调光组件12之间设置具有一定厚度的胶层,以将显示面板13和调光组件12进行贴合固定。
如图10所示,为了提升显示装置10的显示效果,防止出现摩尔纹等不良现象,在显示面板13和调光组件12之间还可以设置扩散膜15。扩散膜15可以改善偏振光的视场角分布,同时还能有效保持偏振光原有的振动方向。例如,扩散膜15可以使偏振光的视场角提升10°以上,且能够将偏振光的振动方向保持在90%以上。
在具体配置时,扩散膜15可以设置在第一偏光片14和第一基板121之间,也可以设置在第一偏光片14和第四基板1312之间。另外,扩散膜15可以采用聚碳酸酯、聚酰亚胺等材料进行制作,且扩散膜15的厚度可以根据实际情况进行适应性调整。本申请对此不作限定。
需要说明的是,为了便于理解本申请技术方案,在上述的实施例中,以偏振光为线偏振光、第一偏光片14和第二偏光片132均为线偏光片进行举例说明。可以理解的是,在另外的实施方式中,当偏振光为圆偏振光或椭圆偏振光,第一偏光片14为圆偏光片,第二偏光片132为圆偏光片时依然适用。例如,当背光组件11所产生的偏振光为圆偏振光时,第一偏光片14和第二偏光片132可以均为线偏光片,或者第一偏光片14和第二偏光片132可以均为圆偏光片。
另外,为了提升显示装置10的显示效果,背光组件11所产生光的偏振率可以大于或等于75%。即背光组件11所产生的光线中,具备相同振动方向的偏振光所占的比例大于或等于75%(如偏振光S所占比例大于或等于75%,偏振光P’所占比例小于或等于25%)。
在实际应用中,显示装置10不仅可以具备图像显示的功能,还可以实现人机交互。
如图11所示,在本申请提供的一个实施例中,调光组件12中还设有光电元件124(图中示出有5个)。当外界光源(如用户使用的红外激光笔)照射在显示装置10上时,外界 光源会透过显示面板13和第一偏光片14,并透射在调光组件12中。当光电元件124感测到外界光源后,便可判断出外界光源的具体照射位置,从而实现人机交互的目的。在具体实施时,调光组件12的每个调光单元中均可以配置一个光电元件124,以有效提升对外界光源照射位置的精度。
在具体实施时,光电元件124可以设置在第一基板121或第二基板122上,也可以在第一基板121和第二基板122上均设置。其中,光电元件124可以是光敏电阻、光敏二极管、光敏三激光等。
另外,背光组件11的具体结构设置也可以是多样的。
例如,背光组件11可以采用侧入式背光设计,也可以采用直下式背光设置。
如图12所示,具体来说,当背光组件11采用侧入式背光设计时,背光组件11可以包括侧光源111以及导光板112,以在调光组件12的一侧形成面光源。其中,侧光源111的配置数量和位置可以根据实际需求进行合理调配。例如,侧光源111可以仅设置在一个侧边(如图中的左侧),且侧光源111的数量可以设置一个或多个(图中示出有个)。
如图13所示,当背光组件11采用直下式设计时,背光组件11可以包括多个点光源113(图中示出有5个),其中,点光源113的器件具体可以是发光二极管,且多个点光源113可以阵列设置。在具体设置时,单个点光源113可以构成一个背光单元,或者,一个背光单元也可以由多个点光源所组成。例如2*2个点光源可以组成一个背光单元,3*4个点光源也可以组成一个背光单元。
另外,在本申请提供的实施例中,调光组件12还可以对背光组件11的光线进行匀化处理,以提升显示装置10的显示效果。
如图14所示,由于点光源113的发光具有不均匀性,即点光源113中心位置的光强较高,而点光源113周围区域的光强较弱。例如,点光源113中心区域能够产生100%的偏振光S,左侧区域能够产生80%的偏振光S,右侧区域能够产生70%的偏振光S。为了使得显示面板13能够接收到均匀光强的偏振光,调光组件12中对应点光源113中心区域的部分可对偏振光的振动方向进行偏转,偏转后的偏振光可以分解为70%的偏振光S、30%的偏振光P。相应的,调光组件12中对应点光源113左侧区域的部分可对偏振光S的振动方向进行偏转,偏转后的偏振光可以分解为70%的偏振光S、10%的偏振光P。调光组件12中对应点光源113右侧区域的部分不对偏振光S的振动方向进行偏转。其中,偏振光S和偏振光P的振动方向相互垂直,第一偏光片14的透振方向与偏振光S的振动方向一致。由于第一偏光片14能够透出偏振光S,且能够阻挡偏振光P,因此,显示面板13所接收到70%偏振光S。即调光组件12的不同区域(调光单元)可以分别对背光组件11的偏振光进行独立调节,以使显示面板13能够接收到均匀光强的面光源。
另外,本申请实施例还提供了一种电子设备,包括壳体和上述的显示装置10,显示装置10安装于壳体。其中,显示装置10安装于壳体具体来说可以是,壳体可以设置用于固定安装显示装置10的容纳槽,当显示装置10固定安装在容纳槽内后,显示面板13能够外露于壳体的外表面。在具体实施时,电子设备可以是显示器、电视、手机、笔记本电脑、智能手表等。
以上,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
