Description

Hidden Thin Film Display Module Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a hidden thin-film display module, specifically providing a display that, when the display is off and inactive, displays the pattern printed on the inkjet film layer through a transparent material layer, and when the display is on, displays the image played on the display. Prior Technology

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, smart buildings have emerged in terms of people's living conditions. A smart building is equipped with a multimedia information processing system that integrates sound, text, and images. It can hold video conferences at any time, conduct paperless trade, and conveniently access various data through modern information networks. Therefore, many LCD screens are used in smart buildings.

[0003] However, while using LCD monitors in homes or office buildings can enhance convenience, when the monitors are off and not in use, they can look rather out of place on the walls, making the space less aesthetically pleasing. For those who are particularly particular about aesthetics, there is still room for improvement.

[0004] The problem that the creators of this project aim to overcome is to ensure that when an LCD screen embedded in the interior wall is turned off and not in use, its surface forms a harmonious image with the wall; and when the LCD screen is turned on, its surface can display video content.

[0005] In view of this, after careful experimentation and research, and with a persistent spirit, the creator has finally conceived a hidden thin-film display module. This module is designed to be integrated with a display. When the display is off and inactive, the transparent material layer can display the pattern printed on the inkjet film layer. When the display is on, the transparent material layer can display the image being played on the display. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to propose a hidden thin-film display module, which is integrated with a display. When the display is off and inactive, the transparent material layer can display the pattern printed on the inkjet film layer. When the display is on, the transparent material layer can display the image played on the display.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes a hidden thin-film display module, comprising: a transparent material layer, one side of which is digitally inkjet-printed with an inkjet film layer; and a light-shielding film layer, one side of which has a first surface that provides semi-reflective incident light, and the other side of which has a second surface that provides light transmission and reflection of light with different polarizations, while scattering the reflected light; wherein the inkjet film layer is superimposed on the first surface, forming an air layer between the first surface and the inkjet film layer; thereby, the second surface of the light-shielding film layer can be integrated with a display, wherein when the display is off and inactive, the transparent material layer can display the pattern printed by the inkjet film layer, and when the display is on, the transparent material layer can display the image played by the display.

[0008] As described above, the hidden thin-film display module uses thermosetting inkjet ink in its inkjet film layer system.

[0009] As mentioned above, the hidden thin-film display module uses a CMYK color model for color printing of the thermosetting inkjet ink.

[0010] As described above, the thickness of the inkjet film layer in the hidden thin-film display module is less than 15 micrometers.

[0011] As described above, the material of the transparent material layer is selected from either a transparent glass material or a transparent plastic material.

[0012] As described above, in the hidden thin-film display module, the second surface of the light-shielding thin-film layer is provided for integrating a display.

[0013] As described above, the hidden thin-film display module is a thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD). When the second surface of the light-shielding film layer is combined with the TFT LCD, the light emission polarity of the TFT LCD is aligned with the light transmission direction polarity of the light-shielding film layer to achieve high transmittance.

[0014] As described above, the hidden thin-film display module is an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. When the second surface of the light-shielding thin film layer is combined with the organic light-emitting diode (OLED), the light emitted by the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is non-polar, and the light transmittance is about 50%.

[0015] As described above, in the hidden thin-film display module, the second surface of the light-shielding thin-film layer is provided for incorporating a light-emitting element.

[0016] As mentioned above, the hidden thin-film display module contains a light-emitting element, which is a light-emitting diode (LED).

[0020] The following illustrations and preferred embodiments of this invention further illustrate the technical means adopted to achieve the desired creative purpose. The accompanying illustrations are for reference and illustration only and are not intended to limit this invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-4 in conjunction with this invention, which is a hidden thin-film display module 1, comprising: a transparent material layer 10, one side of which is digitally inkjet printed with an inkjet film layer 20; the transparent material layer 10 can be made of transparent glass or transparent plastic; and a light-shielding film layer 30, one side of which has a first surface 301 that provides semi-reflective incident light, and the other side of which has a second surface 302 that provides light... It transmits and reflects light of different polarizations while scattering the reflected light; wherein the inkjet film layer 20 is superimposed on the first surface 301, so that an air layer 200 is formed between the first surface 301 and the inkjet film layer 20; thereby, the second surface 302 of the light-shielding film layer 30 can provide a display 2 for bonding. When the display 2 is turned off and inactive, the transparent material layer 10 can display the pattern printed by the inkjet film layer 20. When the display 2 is turned on, the transparent material layer 10 can display the image played by the display 2.

[0022] The inkjet film layer 20 uses thermosetting inkjet ink and is printed on one side of the transparent material layer 10 using digital inkjet printing. The color of the thermosetting inkjet ink is printed using a CMYK color model, and the thickness of the inkjet film layer 20 is less than 15 micrometers.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. Figure 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the present invention combined with a display, and Figure 4 is a light reflection diagram of the present invention combined with a display. When the hidden thin-film display module 1 of the present invention is implemented, the second surface 302 of the light-shielding thin film layer 30 is provided to be combined with a display 2. The display 2 can be selected as a thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) or an organic light-emitting diode display (OLED). If the display 2 is selected as a thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), when the second surface 302 of the light-shielding thin film layer 30 is combined with the thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), the light emission polarity of the thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD) is aligned with the light transmission direction polarity of the light-shielding thin film layer 30 to achieve high transmittance.

[0024] If the display 2 is selected as an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display, when the second surface 302 of the light-shielding film layer 30 is combined with the organic light-emitting diode (OLED), the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) emits light without polarity, and the light transmittance is about 50%; in addition, the second surface 302 of the light-shielding film layer 30 is also provided for bonding a light-emitting element, which is a light-emitting diode (LED).

[0025] Please refer to Figure 5, which is a schematic diagram of the usage state of this invention embodiment (I). In Figure 5, the hidden thin film display module 1 of this invention is used on the surface of two displays 2 respectively, and different colors and shades of patterns are printed on the inkjet film layer 20. When the display 2 is turned off and inactive, the transparent material layer 10 can display the pattern printed on the inkjet film layer 20. As shown in Figure 5, at this time, both displays 2 are in the off state, and different colors and shades of patterns are displayed.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 6, which is a schematic diagram of the usage state (II) of this invention embodiment. In Figure 6, the hidden thin-film display module 1 of this invention is used on the surface of two displays 2 respectively. When the display 2 is turned on, the transparent material layer 10 can display the image played on the display 2 (as shown in Figure 6). In this way, the hidden thin-film display module 1 of this invention can be used to connect to a display 2. When the display 2 is turned off and has no function, the transparent material layer 10 can display the pattern printed by the inkjet film layer 20. When the display 2 is turned on, the transparent material layer 10 can display the image played on the display 2.

[0027] The advantages of this work are summarized as follows:

[0028] 1. When the hidden thin-film display module of this invention is combined with a display, when the display is turned off and has no function, the light-shielding thin film layer reflects external incident light, which can display the printed pattern of the inkjet thin film layer. At the same time, the scattering effect makes the reflected light white.

[0029] 2. When this hidden thin-film display module is combined with a monitor, the high transmittance of the light-shielding thin film layer allows the user to clearly see the image content displayed on the monitor when the monitor is turned on.

[0030] 3. The inkjet film layer of this hidden thin-film display module uses digital inkjet printing to achieve uniform thickness and fine image quality, without distorting the displayed image content.
