Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an imaging device, and more particularly to a display device. Prior Technology
[0002] Display devices can be broadly categorized into liquid crystal displays (LCDs), organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, and micro-light-emitting diode (MSD) displays, based on their different types of light-emitting elements. Compared to LCDs, OLEDs and MSDs can eliminate the need for a backlight module and LCD panel, thus effectively reducing their overall thickness. Generally, MSDs can use multiple light-emitting chips of different wavelengths to form pixels, or multiple light-emitting chips of the same wavelength combined with wavelength conversion materials to form pixels.
[0003] However, conventional display devices still suffer from poor light conversion efficiency, resulting in poor color purity of the converted light. To improve the problem of poor light conversion efficiency, conventional display devices also need to be equipped with color filters, which leads to drawbacks such as excessive thickness, complex manufacturing process, and poor light utilization.

Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the transmission spectrum of a blue phase liquid crystal film in one embodiment of the display device of Figure 1.

[0023] The foregoing descriptions and other technical contents, features, and effects of this invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front, or back, are merely for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the invention.
[0024] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 1, the display device 100 includes a circuit board 110, a light-emitting layer 120, a wavelength conversion layer 130, and a blue phase liquid crystal film 140. The display device 100 has at least one pixel unit PX, and forms an image displayed by the display device 100 by arranging one or more pixel units PX and displaying corresponding colors. The light-emitting layer 120 is disposed on the circuit board 110. The light-emitting layer 120 includes a plurality of light-emitting structures 121, and the light-emitting structures 121 are electrically connected to the circuit board 110. The wavelength conversion layer 130 is disposed on the side of the light-emitting layer 120 opposite to the circuit board 110. The blue phase liquid crystal film 140 is disposed on the side of the wavelength conversion layer 130 opposite to the light-emitting layer 120. It should be noted that although Figure 1 shows a single pixel unit PX of the display device 100, it is only used to clearly illustrate the structure of the single pixel unit PX of the display device 100 in this case, and is not used to limit the display device 100 in this case to having only a single pixel unit PX.
[0025] The circuit board 110 may include a driving circuit layer (not shown) for electrically connecting each light-emitting structure 121 to drive each light-emitting structure 121 to emit light. The circuit board 110 in this embodiment includes, for example, a printed circuit board (PCB), glass, flexible materials, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0026] In this embodiment, the light-emitting layer 120 within the pixel unit PX includes a plurality of light-emitting structures 121, and the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 may include a first light-emitting structure 1211 and a second light-emitting structure 1212. Furthermore, the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 may further include a third light-emitting structure 1213. In other words, the pixel unit PX of the display device 100 includes, for example, three light-emitting structures 121, which correspond to three sub-pixel units of the pixel unit PX, and the three light-emitting structures 121 are respectively the first light-emitting structure 1211, the second light-emitting structure 1212, and the third light-emitting structure 1213. In this embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 may include, for example, a plurality of blue light-emitting structures. The light-emitting structure 121 may include a micro-LED. Further, the chip of the aforementioned micro-LED may have an area smaller than 100 μm * 100 μm, for example, an area of 50 μm * 50 μm, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0027] In one embodiment, the light-emitting structure 121 may include a mini light-emitting diode (mini-LED) or an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and other embodiments are not limited thereto.
[0028] The light-emitting layer 120 in this embodiment may further include a light-shielding structure 122. The light-shielding structure 122 is disposed coplanarly with the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 on the circuit substrate 110. In this embodiment, the light-shielding structure 122 is disposed coplanarly with the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 on the surface S of the circuit substrate 110, and the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 are separated into a plurality of individual light-emitting structures 121 by the light-shielding structure 122. Specifically, the light-shielding structure 122 may be located between two adjacent light-emitting structures 121 and cover the side surface SS of each light-emitting structure 121 to prevent light emitted by the light-emitting structure 121 from leaking to the adjacent light-emitting structure 121, thereby interfering with the display of adjacent sub-pixel units. In addition, the display device 100 further includes an adhesive layer A located between the light-emitting layer 120 and the wavelength conversion layer 130, wherein the surface S1 of the light-shielding structure 122 facing away from the circuit substrate 110 may be coplanar with the top surface TS of each light-emitting structure 121. In other words, the light-shielding structure 122 and each light-emitting structure 121 are at the same height in the normal direction N of the surface S of the circuit substrate 110, so that the surface S1 and each top surface TS form a plane, which facilitates the placement of the adhesive layer A and the bonding of the wavelength conversion layer 130. The light-shielding structure 122 may include, for example, black photoresist, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, each light-emitting structure 121 may also include, for example, a reflective layer (not shown), to reflect a portion of the light beam emitted by the light-emitting structure 121 that is directed toward the circuit substrate 110 back to the wavelength conversion layer 130, thereby further improving light utilization. The material of the reflective layer may be a metal such as aluminum, gold, or titanium.
[0029] The wavelength conversion layer 130 absorbs the light beam emitted by the light-emitting structure 121 and is excited to generate a converted light beam, wherein the wavelength of the converted light beam is different from the wavelength of the light beam emitted by the light-emitting structure 121, so that the color of the converted light beam emitted by the wavelength conversion layer 130 is different from the color of the light beam emitted by the light-emitting structure 121. In this embodiment, the wavelength conversion layer 130 may include a quantum dot conversion layer, which has the characteristics of narrow excitation spectrum and tunable emitted light beam wavelength, thus improving the color purity of the emitted light beam. In addition, the quantum dot conversion layer also has the advantage of high conversion efficiency. Incidentally, the quantum dot conversion layer can be formed by inkjet printing, but in other embodiments, the aforementioned quantum dot conversion layer can be formed by photolithography coating of fluorescent solution and reactive-ion etching (RIE) steps, and the present invention does not limit the specific steps. In one embodiment, the wavelength conversion layer 130 may include organic fluorescent dyes, phosphorescent dyes or perovskite nanocrystals, and the present invention is not limited to these.
[0030] In this embodiment, the wavelength conversion layer 130 may have a wavelength conversion section 131 and a wavelength maintenance section 132. The wavelength conversion section 131 is located at least on the first light-emitting structure 1211, and the wavelength maintenance section 132 is located on the second light-emitting structure 1212. For example, the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 include a first light-emitting structure 1211 and a second light-emitting structure 1212, wherein the first light-emitting structure 1211 and the second light-emitting structure 1212 may be adapted to emit light beams of the same color, such as blue light beams, but are not limited thereto. The wavelength conversion section 131 is located on the first light-emitting structure 1211 and is adapted to absorb and convert the light beam of the first light-emitting structure 1211 into a red light beam. On the other hand, the wavelength maintenance section 132 does not change the wavelength of the light beam of the second light-emitting structure 1212, that is, the wavelength maintenance section 132 can directly supply the light beam emitted by the second light-emitting structure 1212. Furthermore, the wavelength maintenance section 132 may include, for example, a perforation H, so that the light beam of the second light-emitting structure 1212 can directly pass through the wavelength maintenance section 132, thereby further improving the light utilization rate. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 further includes a third light-emitting structure 1213, wherein the third light-emitting structure 1213 is adapted, for example, to emit a light beam of the same color as the light beams emitted by the first light-emitting structure 1211 and the second light-emitting structure 1212. The wavelength conversion unit 131 may have wavelength conversion regions 1311 and 1312 with different emission wavelengths. Wavelength conversion regions 1311 and 1312 are respectively located opposite to the first light-emitting structure 1211 and the third light-emitting structure 1213, that is, wavelength conversion region 1311 is located opposite to the first light-emitting structure 1211, and wavelength conversion region 1312 is located opposite to the third light-emitting structure 1213. Specifically, wavelength conversion region 1311 can convert the light beam of the first light-emitting structure 1211 into a green light beam, and wavelength conversion region 1312 can convert the light beam of the third light-emitting structure 1213 into a red light beam. It should be noted that the above-mentioned alignment refers to alignment in the normal direction N of the surface S on which the light-emitting layer 120 is disposed on the circuit substrate 110. For example, the wavelength conversion region 1311 is located opposite the first light-emitting structure 1211 in the normal direction N, the wavelength maintenance part 132 is located opposite the second light-emitting structure 1212 in the normal direction N, and the wavelength conversion region 1312 is located opposite the third light-emitting structure 1213 in the normal direction N.
[0031] A portion of the light beam emitted by the light-emitting structure 121 is absorbed and converted into a converted light beam within the wavelength conversion layer 130. Conversely, another portion of the light beam emitted by the light-emitting structure 121 is not absorbed or converted after incident on the wavelength conversion layer 130. This other portion of the light beam, after passing through the wavelength conversion layer 130, is incident on the blue phase liquid crystal film 140. The blue phase liquid crystal film 140 can reflect this unconverted portion of the light beam back to the wavelength conversion layer 130, while allowing the converted light beam from the wavelength conversion layer 130, whose wavelength has been absorbed and converted, to pass through, thereby improving the light conversion efficiency. In this embodiment, the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 may have a liquid crystal portion 141 and a perforated portion 142. The liquid crystal portion 141 is located opposite the wavelength conversion portion 131, and the perforated portion 142 is located opposite the wavelength maintenance portion 132. Specifically, the perforated portion 142 allows the light beam generated by the second light-emitting structure 1212 to pass directly through, thereby improving the emitted light brightness. Furthermore, the liquid crystal unit 141 can reflect a portion of the light beam from the first light-emitting structure 1211 that has not been absorbed and converted after passing through the wavelength conversion layer 130 back to the wavelength conversion layer 130, and allow the converted light beam from the wavelength conversion layer 130 that has been absorbed and converted to pass through, thereby improving the light conversion efficiency. In addition, in this embodiment, when the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 further includes a third light-emitting structure 1213, and the wavelength conversion unit 131 may have wavelength conversion regions 1311 and 1312 with different emission wavelengths, the liquid crystal unit 141 is, for example, located in the wavelength conversion regions 1311 and 1312, that is, the liquid crystal unit 141 is located in the first light-emitting structure 1211 and the third light-emitting structure 1213. Thus, a portion of the light beam emitted by the first light-emitting structure 1211 and the third light-emitting structure 1213 but not absorbed and converted by the wavelength conversion unit 131 (such as the aforementioned blue light beam) can be reflected back to the wavelength conversion unit 131 by the blue phase liquid crystal film 140, while the converted light beam that has been absorbed and converted in wavelength from the wavelength conversion unit 131 (such as the aforementioned red light beam and green light beam) can be emitted through the blue phase liquid crystal film 140.
[0032] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the transmission spectrum of the blue phase liquid crystal film of an embodiment of the display device of Figure 1. For example, referring to both Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the liquid crystal unit 141 allows red and green light beams to pass through and reflects other colored light beams (including blue light beams) back to the wavelength conversion layer 130. Furthermore, the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 may include two blue phase liquid crystal layers with different light transmission wavelengths, allowing red and green light beams to pass through respectively, and reflecting other colored light beams back to the wavelength conversion layer 130. In one embodiment, the reflection wavelength range of the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 may cover approximately 80% of the emission wavelength range of the light-emitting structure 121, but the invention is not limited thereto. Similarly, the above-mentioned alignment refers to alignment in the normal direction N.
[0033] It should be noted that the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 in this embodiment uses a cured light-transmitting material (such as a polymer that can be cured by ultraviolet light or heat) to coat the liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, after the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 is manufactured, the liquid crystal molecules are arranged at a fixed angle, and even if a voltage is applied to the blue phase liquid crystal film 140, the liquid crystal molecules cannot be driven to rotate. In other words, the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 in this embodiment is not an electro-controlled liquid crystal film, so the alignment layer and electrode layer of the aforementioned electro-controlled liquid crystal film can be omitted. Therefore, compared with the electro-controlled liquid crystal film, the manufacturing process and structure can be simplified, and the thickness can also be reduced. In addition, omitting the electro-control step can also make the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 have better optical stability and longer product life.
[0034] Compared to conventional technology, the display device 100 of this embodiment uses a wavelength conversion layer 130 to absorb and convert the wavelength of the light beam from the light-emitting layer 120, and reflects the portion of the light beam whose wavelength was not absorbed and converted back to the wavelength conversion layer 130 through the blue phase liquid crystal film 140, allowing the wavelength conversion layer 130 to absorb the portion of the light beam again and convert it into the desired color light, thereby improving the light conversion efficiency and the color purity of the image. Therefore, the display device 100 of this embodiment can omit the color filter, thereby reducing the thickness and simplifying the manufacturing process, and also improving the light utilization rate.
[0035] For example, conventional display devices may use cholesteric liquid crystals, but the wavelength bandwidth of the reflected light beam from cholesteric liquid crystals is wider than that of the blue phase liquid crystal film 140. This makes it impossible to accurately reflect light beams whose wavelengths have not been absorbed or converted, resulting in poor light conversion efficiency and color purity. Conversely, because the wavelength bandwidth of the reflected light beam from the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 is narrower than that of cholesteric liquid crystals, it can accurately reflect light beams whose wavelengths have not been absorbed or converted back to the wavelength conversion layer 130, thereby effectively improving the light conversion efficiency and color purity. Furthermore, cholesteric liquid crystals can cause color shift in the display device 100 at wide viewing angles, but the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 can effectively improve this problem. Moreover, the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 can maintain the ordered orientation of liquid crystal molecules over a wider temperature range, thus possessing more stable optical performance than cholesteric liquid crystals. In addition, the wavelength bandwidth of the reflected light beam from the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 can be adjusted during the manufacturing process according to actual needs, so compared to cholesteric liquid crystals, the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 can more accurately control the color purity of the emitted light beam.
[0036] Incidentally, the display device 100 of this embodiment also includes, for example, a protective layer 150. The protective layer 150 is disposed on the side of the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 opposite to the wavelength conversion layer 130 to protect the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 from external damage and to prevent moisture and dust from penetrating. The material of the protective layer 150 may include glass, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0037] Figure 3 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The structure and advantages of the display device 100a in this embodiment are similar to those of the embodiment in Figure 1; only the differences will be described below. Referring to Figure 3, the liquid crystal portion 141a of the blue phase liquid crystal film 140a is located opposite the wavelength conversion portion 131 and the wavelength maintenance portion 132. Therefore, the light beams emitted from the wavelength conversion portion 131 and the wavelength maintenance portion 132 will both pass through the liquid crystal portion 141a, making the light emission pattern of the pixel unit PXa more consistent, making the color rendering of the display device 100a more accurate at different viewing angles, thereby increasing the viewing angle of the display device 100a. In this embodiment, the liquid crystal portion 141a may include at least two blue phase liquid crystal layers with different light transmission wavelengths disposed coplanarly on the top surface TS1 of the wavelength conversion layer 130. In this embodiment, blue phase liquid crystal layers L1 and L2 are used as examples. The blue phase liquid crystal layer L1 is located opposite the wavelength conversion portion 131 of the wavelength conversion layer 130, and the blue phase liquid crystal layer L2 is located opposite the wavelength maintenance portion 132. In addition, in this embodiment, when the plurality of light-emitting structures 121 further include a third light-emitting structure 1213, and the wavelength conversion section 131 may have wavelength conversion regions 1311 and 1312 with different emission wavelengths, the liquid crystal section 141a may further include a blue phase liquid crystal layer L3. The blue phase liquid crystal layers L1, L2 and L3 are disposed in a coplanar manner on the top surface TS1 of the wavelength conversion layer 130 and have different light transmission wavelengths. The blue phase liquid crystal layers L1 and L3 are respectively located in the wavelength conversion regions 1311 and 1312 of the wavelength conversion section 131 of the wavelength conversion layer 130, and the blue phase liquid crystal layer L2 is located in the wavelength maintenance section 132. The three light transmission wavelengths can respectively correspond to the wavelengths of the emitted light beams from the wavelength conversion region 1311, the wavelength conversion region 1312 and the wavelength maintenance section 132. For example, the light transmission wavelength can correspond to red light (wavelength conversion region 1312), green light (wavelength conversion region 1311), and blue light (wavelength maintenance section 132), respectively. The blue phase liquid crystal layer, whose light transmission wavelength corresponds to blue light, allows blue light to pass through, and makes the emission field pattern of the blue light consistent with that of red and green light. Similarly, the above alignment refers to alignment in the normal direction N.
[0038] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of blue phase liquid crystal molecules in an embodiment of the blue phase liquid crystal film of Figure 3. Referring to Figures 3 and 4 together, in one embodiment, the portions of the blue phase liquid crystal film 140a corresponding to red light (wavelength conversion region 1312) and green light (wavelength conversion region 1311), i.e., blue phase liquid crystal layers L1 and L3, are exposed regions. Therefore, the blue phase liquid crystal structures of blue phase liquid crystal layers L1 and L3 maintain ordered lattice orientation. On the other hand, the portion of the blue phase liquid crystal film 140a corresponding to blue light (wavelength maintenance region 132), i.e., blue phase liquid crystal layer L2, is not exposed. Therefore, the blue phase liquid crystal structure of blue phase liquid crystal layer L2 is unstable and exhibits a disordered helical arrangement. Thus, blue phase liquid crystal layer L2 exhibits optical scattering characteristics, making the light emission pattern of the light beam (e.g., blue light) passing through blue phase liquid crystal layer L2 more consistent with the light beam (e.g., red light) passing through blue phase liquid crystal layer L1 and the light beam (e.g., green light) passing through blue phase liquid crystal layer L3. It is understood that the arrangement of blue phase liquid crystal molecules shown in Figure 4 is merely an example and not intended to limit the present invention.
[0039] Figure 5 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The structure and advantages of the display device 100b in this embodiment are similar to those of the embodiment in Figure 1; only the differences are described below. Referring to Figure 5, the perforated portion 142 of the blue phase liquid crystal film 140 includes, for example, a light-scattering material M, which makes the light emission pattern of the light beam passing through the light-scattering material M more consistent with the light emission pattern of the light beam passing through the liquid crystal portion 141, thereby making the color rendering of the display device 100b more accurate at different viewing angles and increasing the viewing angle of the display device 100b. For example, the light-scattering material M may include light-diffusing particles, and the light-diffusing particles can scatter the light beam emitted by the second light-emitting structure 1212, but do not have the function of converting the wavelength of the light beam.
[0040] In summary, the display device of the present invention employs a wavelength conversion layer to convert the wavelength of the light beam from the light-emitting layer, and then reflects the unconverted wavelength light beam back to the wavelength conversion layer through a blue phase liquid crystal film. The wavelength conversion layer then converts the light beam back into the desired color light, thereby improving light conversion efficiency and image color purity. Therefore, the display device of the present invention can omit color filters, thereby reducing thickness and simplifying the manufacturing process, while also improving light utilization.
