Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical film technology, in particular to a diffusion film and a diffusion film preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the large application of liquid crystal display, the backlight module as an important component of the liquid crystal display panel plays a very important role in improving the quality of the display and promoting the process of thinning the liquid crystal panel. According to the different positions of the light source in the backlight module, the backlight module can be divided into direct type and side type backlight. Unlike the light source of the side type arranged on the side of the light emitting surface, the light source of the direct type is directly distributed under the light emitting surface and does not need to pass through the light guide plate. However, since the LED light source has a specific light emitting area, the LED light intensity is not uniform in the specific viewing angle distribution, and it is difficult for the LED light source to form uniform emitted light on the target surface, that is, it is difficult to form a surface light source, so light mixing treatment is needed to weaken the dark area or light emitting dark band or visible LED light device phenomenon caused by the LED light source.

[0003] At present, the traditional direct type structure generally arranges two layers of diffusion films with light mixing function above the LED light source. The main function of the light diffusion film is to convert point light source and line light source into surface light source, and it has the characteristics of high light transmittance and high haze. The existing diffusion film can be divided into bulk diffusion and surface diffusion according to different mechanisms. The bulk diffusion mainly adds heterogeneous particles in the transparent substrate to produce light diffusion by using the scattering of the particles. The surface diffusion forms optical microstructure on the surface of the transparent substrate by polishing, photolithography, coating or sandblasting process, and forms a directional diffusion surface light source through a large number of light propagation paths.

[0004] For example, in order to improve the uniformity of the emitted light, the diffusion film surface designed by Chinese patent CN1641432A has a columnar lens structure; the microstructure designed by CN101620283B on the surface of the diffusion film is a triangular pyramid type; and the microstructure designed by patent CN201228916Y is a conical shape. The above patents all design different optical microstructures on the surface of the diffusion film to achieve the goal of uniform light, but such structures need to add a small amount of particles in the diffusion film to improve the uniform light performance of the diffusion film through the synergistic effect of the particles and the surface of the microstructure, which undoubtedly increases the production cost and puts forward higher requirements for the processing and forming process of the diffusion film. In addition, the common double-layer lens structure is interlaced, which also produces new defects such as light interference.

[0005] To further simplify the processing technology of the diffusion film, some workers design the surface of the diffusion film into a pyramid and a pyramid-like structure, such as Chinese Patent CN114624799A, which contains a plurality of pyramid-like structures with different apex angles on the surface of the diffusion film, expecting to improve the uniformity of the diffusion film by increasing the light splitting points. This structure can avoid the use of traditional diffusion agents to some extent, but it has little effect on improving the uniformity of the diffusion film. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application provides a diffusion film to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The diffusion film forms a stacked optical microstructure on the diffusion film. By controlling the light output in the horizontal direction of the stacked microstructure, the light path is controllable, and the light mixing effect between LED light sources is improved, thereby greatly improving the unevenness of the light output surface. In addition, a one-time molding process without adding particles is provided to simplify the production process and reduce production costs.

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] A diffusion film, the light exit surface of the diffusion film has no optical microstructure. This embodiment is a comparative example, used for comparison and reference to the effect of other embodiments.

[0050] Embodiment 2

[0051] As shown in Figure 1 , a diffusion film, the light exit surface or non-light exit surface of the diffusion film has continuous or discontinuous optical microstructure, the optical microstructure is in the form of a pyramid structure. It can be seen that Figure 7 when such a structure of optical microstructure is provided on the light exit surface or / and the light entrance surface of the diffusion film, a certain light mixing effect can be achieved through reflection and refraction of the light rays of the light source, but the boundary between bright and dark areas is clear, so it does not achieve good light mixing and uniformity effect.

[0052] Embodiment 3

[0053] As shown in Figure 2 , a diffusion film, the light exit surface or / and the light entrance surface of the diffusion film has continuous or discontinuous optical microstructure, the optical microstructure is in the form of a stacked structure.

[0054] As shown in Figure 2 Figure (A), specifically, the optical microstructure includes a plurality of platforms, the platforms have planes parallel to each other in the horizontal direction, the platforms have a continuous light exit peripheral surface, the light exit peripheral surface of the platforms is a continuous arc surface, the profile of the platforms increases / decreases in turn along a direction perpendicular to the light exit surface of the diffusion film, and forms a stepped structure, and the projection of the platform at the previous level is located within the profile of the platform at the next level.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2 Figure (B), specifically, the top end of the platform has a top platform, the peripheral side of the top platform is a conical surface, and the axis of the top platform is perpendicular to the light exit surface of the diffusion film.

[0056] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 , the optical microstructure protrudes from the light exit surface of the diffusion film and / or the optical microstructure is recessed in the light exit surface of the diffusion film.

[0057] From Figure 2 Figures (C) and (D), and in combination with Figure 7As shown in the specific effect diagram shown in the middle, compared with the diffusion film and the stepped pyramid structure of embodiment 1, the diffusion film provided by the embodiment converges the light source to the horizontal direction by using the peripheral surface of the platform, increases the reflection and refraction probability of the light source in the horizontal direction, and significantly improves the light mixing and uniformity effect compared with the ordinary pyramid structure.

[0058] Embodiment 4

[0059] As shown in Figure 3 , a diffusion film has continuous or discontinuous optical microstructures on the light-out surface and / or the light-in surface of the diffusion film, and the optical microstructures have a stacked structure.

[0060] As shown in Figure 3 , specifically, the optical microstructures include at least a plurality of platforms, the platforms have planes parallel to each other in the horizontal direction, the platforms have four continuous light-out peripheral surfaces, and the light-out peripheral surfaces of the platforms are a continuous arc surface or a plane. The profiles of the platforms increase / decrease in turn along the direction perpendicular to the light-out surface of the diffusion film and form a stepped structure, and the projection of the platform at a previous level is located within the profile of the platform at a next level. As shown in Figure 3 , the optical microstructures with the square stepped structure make part of the light rays exit from the side surface of the optical microstructures in the horizontal state through refraction and reflection when the light rays pass through the optical microstructures, thereby playing a directional role on the light path or the light rays, and the more the stacked layers are, the more the parallel light rays are, and the increase of the horizontal light rays improves the light mixing effect between the LED lamps.

[0061] Specifically, the top end of the platform has a top platform, the top platform is a conical structure, and the height direction of the top platform is perpendicular to the light-out surface of the diffusion film. Specifically, refer to Figure 3 , (A) and (D), by setting a square conical structure at the top end of the platform, horizontal light is emitted from the square structure when the LED emits light, thereby significantly improving the light mixing effect.

[0062] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 , the optical microstructures protrude from the light-out surface of the diffusion film and / or the optical microstructures are recessed in the light-out surface of the diffusion film.

[0063] In order to intuitively describe the embodiment and embodiment 3, the structures involved in the embodiment and embodiment 3 are described as follows.

[0064] As shown in Figure 5As shown in the figure, the platforms in this optical microstructure are named f1, f2, f3, f4, ..., fn. Only f1, f2, f3, and f4 are shown in this figure. The diameter or width of f4 is 'a', where a ≥ 1 μm. The diameter or width of f3 is 'b', and the relationship between the diameter or width of f3 (b) and the diameter or width of f4 (a) is a ≥ b. The diameter or width of f2 is 'c', and the relationship between the diameter or width of f2 (c) and the diameter or width of f3 (b) is b ≥ c. The diameter or width of f1 is 'd', and the relationship between the diameter or width of f2 (c) and the diameter or width of f1 (d) is c ≥ d. The height e of this circular or square-shaped structure is ≥ 1 μm.

[0065] like Figure 6 The diagram shows the structure between the top platform and the top platform, where the angle α between the bottom of the top platform and the top platform is 1-89 degrees.

[0066] Example 5

[0067] A diffusion membrane, the structure of which is as follows Figure 4 As shown in Figure (A), the light-emitting surface and / or light-incident surface of the diffusion film has continuous or discontinuous optical microstructures, which are stacked.

[0068] Specifically, the optical microstructure includes a platform with mutually parallel planes along the horizontal direction and four consecutive light-emitting peripheral surfaces, all of which are planes. The platform's outline increases / decreases sequentially along a direction perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the diffusion film, forming a stepped structure, with the projection of the upper-level platform lying within the outline of the lower-level platform.

[0069] Specifically, the top of the platform has at least one top platform, which is a conical structure, and the height of the top platform is perpendicular to the light-emitting surface of the diffusion film.

[0070] Specifically, the angle between the bottom of the top platform and the platform at the top is 1-89 degrees.

[0071] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the optical microstructure protrudes from the light-emitting surface of the diffusion film and / or the optical microstructure is recessed within the light-emitting surface of the diffusion film.

[0072] Combination Figure 7 The content shown in the document and Figure 4 As shown in Figure (B), compared with Example 1, the stepped pyramid structure in the diffusion film uses the peripheral side of the platform to converge the light source to the horizontal direction, which increases the probability of reflection and refraction of the light source in the horizontal direction. Its light mixing and light homogenization effects are significantly improved compared with ordinary pyramid structures.

[0073] In addition, the platform involved in the optical microstructure of the present application can also be other polygons, such as a three-edge polygon, a five-edge polygon, and other polygonal structures, which are not shown in the drawings. It should be noted that regardless of the number of light-emitting peripheral sides of the platform, as long as the light can be propagated in the horizontal direction to increase the light mixing effect, it should be considered as a simple transformation of the present application. As a further optimization, the top of the polygonal platform can also include a corresponding shaped top platform structure.

[0074] By Figure 7 The display diagram of the light mixing effect between different embodiments shows that embodiments 3 to 5 present a better light mixing effect, significantly weakening the dark light band between the LEDs and significantly achieving the uniform light effect.

[0075] Embodiment 6

[0076] As Figure 9 shown, a film pressing device for preparing the diffusion film of the above-mentioned embodiments 2-5 includes a conveying mechanism 2, a film pressing mechanism 3, and a transmission mechanism 4.

[0077] As Figures 10-13 shown, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a pair of side plates 200, each of which is provided with a rotating seat 202. A lower lining roller 201 is rotatably arranged between the side plates 200. The upper end of each side plate 200 is provided with a rotating ring 203, which is mounted on the side plate 200 through a plurality of mounting plates 204. A rotating disc 205 is rotatably arranged in each rotating ring 203. Four convex plates 206 are circumferentially arranged on the inner side end of each rotating disc 205. Four conveying arc plates 210 are arranged between the rotating discs 205. The two ends of each conveying arc plate 210 are mounted on the convex plates 206. The outer wall of the conveying arc plate 210 is in an arc structure. A cross-shaped groove 207 is formed on the outer side end of the rotating disc 205. A circular groove 220 is formed at the intersection of the groove 207. Four convex blocks 208 are circumferentially arranged on the outer side end of the rotating disc 205. An inner recessed arc groove is formed on the inner wall of each convex block 208. Each convex block 208 is located on each diagonal line of the groove 207. One end of the rotating seat 202 is rotatably provided with a first rotating shaft 211. The inner side end of the first rotating shaft 211 is provided with a first gear 212. The first gear 212 is engaged with a second gear 213. The second gear 213 is connected with a second rotating shaft. The outer side end of the second rotating shaft is arranged on the rotating seat 202. The inner side end of the second rotating shaft is provided with a rotating plate 214. One end of the rotating plate 214 is formed with a fan-shaped plate 215. The outer wall of the fan-shaped plate 215 is in an arc structure. The inner side end of the rotating plate 214 is provided with a push rod 216. When the push rod 216 is located in the groove 207, the rotating disc 205 is used to rotate. When the fan-shaped plate 215 is located in the inner recessed arc groove, the rotating disc 205 stops rotating.

[0078] As Figures 14-15As shown, the film pressing mechanism 3 comprises a pair of fixed end plates 300, a lower substrate plate 309 is installed between the fixed end plates 300, a plurality of concave molds in a stacked structure are formed on the lower substrate plate 309, a plurality of air holes are formed on the lower substrate plate 309, the lower ends of the air holes are connected to the air pump through the pipeline, the upper end of each fixed end plate 300 is installed a pair of cross-shaped mounting pieces 303, the mounting pieces 303 are installed with inner tooth rings 304, the inner tooth rings 304 are engaged with third gears 306, the third gears 306 are coaxially provided with third shafts, the inner side ends of the third shafts are provided with rotating plates 307, the other ends of the rotating plates 307 are rotatably provided with connecting lugs 308, the lower ends of the connecting lugs 308 are installed with lower pressing plates 310, a plurality of convex molds in a stacked structure are formed on the lower wall of the lower pressing plates 310, the number of the convex molds is consistent with that of the concave molds, and the convex molds and the concave molds have one-to-one correspondence, the outer side ends of the third shafts are provided with outer connecting plates 305, the other ends of the outer connecting plates 305 are provided with fourth shafts, the fourth shafts are coaxial with the inner tooth rings 304, the fourth shafts are rotatably provided on the mounting pieces 303, the outer side ends of the fourth shafts are respectively provided with fifth gears 302, each pair of fifth gears 302 located at the same end are engaged with a sixth gear 301, the sixth gear 301 is rotatably provided on the fixed end plate 300 through the drive shaft, the lower pressing plates 310 are upwardly extended with a plurality of upward extension guide rods 311, the upward extension guide rods 311 are sleeved with upper plates 312, and the two ends of the upper plates 312 are installed on the upper end of the fixed end plate 300. The transmission mechanism 4 comprises a motor mounting plate 40 installed on the upper end of the fixed end plate 300, a motor 41 installed on the motor mounting plate 40, the output shaft of the motor 41 connected to the drive shaft, a drive wheel 42 provided on the drive shaft, the outer side end of the first shaft 211 provided with a driven wheel 44, and the drive wheel 42 and the driven wheel 44 driven through the synchronous belt 43.

[0079] In operation, the prepared diffusion film is preheated, and then passes through the film pressing mechanism 3. When the diffusion film passes through the film pressing mechanism 3, the lower pressing plates 310 and the lower substrate plate 309 press and form the diffusion film therebetween. During the pressing and forming process, the air pump is needed to pump air, so that the diffusion film is tightly attached to the lower substrate plate 309. When the pressing and forming is completed, the lower pressing plates 310 move upward, and the air pump ventilates the air holes of the lower substrate plate 309, so that the diffusion film attached to the lower substrate plate 309 moves upward, and the pressed and formed optical microstructure is smoothly pulled out of the concave mold. Then, the diffusion film passes through the air cooling or water cooling device to cool and set, and then continues to be conveyed forward under the driving of the conveying mechanism 1.

[0080] When the diffusion film is being transported, the diffusion film is located above the lower backing roller 201. During transportation, the motor 41 drives the first rotating shaft 211 to rotate through the driving wheel 42, the synchronous belt 43 and the driven wheel 44. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 211 drives the first gear 212 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 213 to rotate, and the rotation of the second gear 213 drives the rotating plate 214 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating plate 214, the toggle lever 216 rotates around the axis of the second gear 213, and the toggle lever 216 acts on the side wall of the recess 207 in the cross-shaped structure during the rotation, thereby causing the rotating disc 205 to rotate around its axis. When the toggle lever 216 loses the force acting on the side wall of the recess 207, the fan-shaped plate 215 is in the concave arc groove, and the rotating disc 205 is in a state of stopping rotation. When the toggle lever 216 acts on the side wall of the recess 207 and causes the rotating disc 205 to rotate, the transport arc plate 210 mounted on the rotating disc 205 interacts with the lower backing roller 201, and the diffusion film is transported forward under the rotation of the transport arc plate 210. In this way, the rotating disc 205 can rotate periodically, thereby achieving periodic pushing of the diffusion film, providing sufficient time for the pressing molding of the optical microstructure on the diffusion film, and facilitating the subsequent winding operation of the diffusion film. The rotating ring 203 can cause the rotating disc 205 to rotate stably.

[0081] When the diffusion film optical microstructure is being formed, the motor 41 drives the driving shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the sixth gear 301 to rotate. The rotation of the sixth gear 301 drives the two fifth gears 302 to rotate, and the rotation of the fifth gears 302 drives the outer connecting plate 305 to rotate around one end of the fifth gear 302. The rotation of the outer connecting plate 305 drives the third gear 306 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating plate 307 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating plate 307 also moves around the inner tooth ring 304. This movement causes the lower pressing plate 310 to move up and down reciprocally. When the lower pressing plate 310 moves downward, it interacts with the lower substrate plate 309 and completes the pressing molding of the diffusion film.
