Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of 3D display, and in particular to a 3D display device and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Among the five major human perception pathways, vision accounts for 70% to 80% of the information source, and about 50% of the brain's capacity is used to process visual information. From daily behavior to complex operations, it is highly dependent on our visual perception; however, the existing image acquisition and display loses multiple dimensions of visual information, which forces us to observe the three-dimensional world only through a two-dimensional "window"; light field display is our way of obtaining multi-dimensional visual information. It can simulate the way the human eye perceives light and focuses, dynamically focus on the area where the human eye is looking, and present a more natural sense.

[0003] Microlens array is an important micro-optical component for realizing 3D light field display, and has many unique optical properties. By adjusting parameters such as shape, focal length, arrangement, and duty cycle, the microlens array can achieve specific functions for imaging. Most light field displays on the market currently use basic 3D display technology, such as using cylindrical lens gratings to project light from different pixels into both eyes in different directions to achieve 3D light field display effects.

[0004] The above technology has a defect that the focal length of the lens is fixed on the same focal plane and cannot be adjusted as needed, that is, the depth is simulated on the fixed focal plane to create a stereoscopic visual sense. This presentation method is a depth perception formed by binocular parallax, and does not support dynamic focus adjustment of both eyes. Although the binocular parallax changes, the focus does not change, so it cannot achieve the same synchronous adjustment as watching the real world, which makes it easy to have a convergence and adjustment conflict, resulting in dizziness, nausea and other phenomena.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0061] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0063] The microlens 8 array is an important micro-optical component for realizing 3D light field display, and has many unique optical properties. By adjusting parameters such as shape, focal length, arrangement, and duty cycle, the microlens 8 array can realize specific functions for imaging. Most of the light field displays on the market currently use basic 3D display technology, such as using a cylindrical lens 8 grating to project light from different pixels into the eyes in different directions to achieve a 3D light field display effect.

[0064] The above technology has the defect that the focal length of lens 8 is fixed on the same focal plane and cannot be adjusted as needed, that is, the depth is simulated on the fixed focal plane to create a stereoscopic visual sense. This presentation method is a depth perception formed by binocular parallax, and does not support the dynamic focus adjustment of both eyes. Although the binocular parallax is changing, the focus remains unchanged, so it cannot achieve the synchronous adjustment of viewing the real world, which makes it easy to have convergence adjustment conflicts, showing dizziness, nausea and other phenomena; and the display viewpoint image resolution and the number of viewpoints of this technology are affected by the grating size of cylindrical lens 8. The larger the grating size, the fewer viewpoints, which will cause discontinuity of viewpoints; the smaller the size, the more viewpoints, and the lower the resolution. Therefore, variable focal length microlens 8 technology is needed to solve this problem and achieve a more natural 3D display viewing effect.

[0065] The specific structure of the 3D display device is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0066] In order to solve the technical problem that the focal length of the lens 8 cannot be adjusted in the prior art, Figure 1-Figure 13 As shown, the present application provides a 3D display device, including:

[0067] Display component 3, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a light source 5 is provided in the area surrounded by every three sub-pixels 4 in the display component 3. Preferably, the light source 5 is equidistant from the three sub-pixels 4. The wavelength of the light emitted by the light source 5 is different from the wavelength of the light emitted by the sub-pixels 4. Exemplarily, the light source 5 can be ultraviolet visible light of 405-455nm.

[0068] A back plate 6, wherein the back plate 6 is arranged on the light emitting surface of the display component 3;

[0069] A plurality of driving layers 7, wherein the plurality of driving layers 7 are made of photodeformable materials, and the plurality of driving layers 7 are arranged outside the encapsulation layer of the backplane 6, at positions corresponding to the plurality of sub-pixels 4 one by one; specifically, the thickness of the driving layer 7 is 2 mm; and photodeformable materials with different molecular design structures can be selected. More specifically, the photodeformable material utilizes the structural change of the photosensitive group inside the polymer to induce the bending deformation of the film material. For example, when the photodeformable material is set as a polymer molecular film containing an azobenzene structure, it can be a polyurethane copolymer containing an azodiphenylethene group or a copolymer of a derivative containing a benzospiropyran group and PMMA; since the azobenzene structure polymer is a cis-trans isomer and has photoisomerization, when it receives light, only the surface structure absorbs light to shrink or relax. Specifically, when it receives 405-455nm ultraviolet visible light irradiation, the molecular chain length shortens to shrink, and when it receives 577n When the ultraviolet visible light of m is irradiated, the length of the molecular chain becomes longer and stretched. The sensitive wavelength of different polymer materials can be determined by molecular design. The material's deformation variable can be up to 400%. Of course, it is not limited to the coordination of the above wavelengths, but can also be coordinated with visible light and invisible light. Specifically, the azobenzene structure polymer will shrink when it receives visible light and relax when it receives invisible light. The specific design is pre-designed according to needs; and when the photodeformable material is set to a polymer molecular film containing a benzospiropyran structure, the molecular polarity increases when it receives ultraviolet visible light, thereby causing the polymer molecular film to relax; the above two embodiments are only shown for the convenience of understanding the scheme. The specific selection of photodeformable materials is not limited in this embodiment. As long as the material does not deform when the sub-pixel 4 is illuminated, and can be bent and deformed along the vertical direction when illuminated by the light source 5, it is suitable for this scheme and belongs to the protection scope of this scheme.

[0070] and a microlens 8 array, wherein the plurality of lenses 8 in the microlens 8 array are correspondingly mounted on the plurality of driving layers 7, and finally sealed by a packaging cover plate 13; preferably, the area of ​​the lens 8 is slightly larger than the light-emitting area of ​​the sub-pixel 4 area;

[0071] After receiving the light emitted by the light source 5 , the driving layer 7 will bend and deform along the vertical direction to change the distance between the lens 8 and the display component 3 .

[0072] When 3D display is required, it is only necessary to turn on the light source 5. At this time, after the driving layer 7 receives the light from the light source 5, Fig. 9As shown in the figure, the wall surface close to the light will shrink, and the wall surface far from the light will relax, so that the driving layer 7 bends in the direction away from the display component 3, thereby increasing the distance between the lens 8 corresponding to the pixel area and the pixel area, that is, it is possible to change the exit position of the light emitted by each sub-pixel 4, that is, to increase the focal length of the lens 8, and finally make the display plane and the focal plane not on the same plane, effectively avoiding the convergence adjustment conflict. Similarly, when 2D display is required, it is only necessary to turn off the light source 5. At this time, the driving layer 7 will be restored to a flat state, that is, the display plane and the focal plane are on the same plane; or The source 5 is switched so that the wall surface close to the light is relaxed and the wall surface far from the light is contracted, so that the driving layer 7 moves toward the display component 3, thereby accelerating the speed at which the driving layer 7 becomes flat; in summary, the above-mentioned structure is adopted to make different pixel areas displayed on different focal planes, and the focal length can be switched arbitrarily between the near view and the far view of the image, so that the human eye can see images with different depths of field, and finally realize the 3D light field display effect; the process of the present invention is simple, and the microlens 8 can be integrated with the device to realize the light field display with high brightness, light weight, high resolution, low crosstalk and multiple depths of field.

[0073] In a specific embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the driving layer 7, the lens 8 and the sub-pixel 4 are in one-to-one correspondence, wherein, in order to facilitate the bending deformation of the driving layer 7 along the vertical direction, preferably, the size of the driving layer 7 is slightly larger than the size of the lens 8; further, in order to increase the bending deformation range of the driving layer 7, preferably, as Figure 3 As shown, one end of the driving layer 7 away from the lens 8 intersects at a position corresponding to the light source 5 .

[0074] Specifically, Fig.10 As shown, the light emitted by each pixel on the display component 3 enters the human eye after being transmitted through the corresponding lens 8, where the human eye is equivalent to the lens 8. After being projected by the human eye, the light is projected onto the retina to form an image, and the above-mentioned image is a real image; then the light emitted by the pixel changes its optical path after passing through the microlens 8, and converges in the opposite direction at one point, which is equivalent to the light emitted from this point. This point is a virtual image A, where the plane where A is located is the focal plane, that is, in the prior art, the display plane where A is located and the focal plane are always on the same plane, and cannot be adjusted as needed, that is, the depth is simulated on a fixed focal plane to create a stereoscopic visual sense. This presentation method is the depth perception formed by binocular parallax, and does not support the dynamic focus adjustment of both eyes. Although the binocular parallax is changing, the focus remains unchanged, so it cannot achieve the synchronous adjustment of viewing the real world, which makes it easy to have convergence adjustment conflicts, showing dizziness, nausea and other phenomena;

[0075] In response to the above technical problems, the present application proposes that a light source 5 is provided in the area surrounded by every three sub-pixels 4 in the display component 3, and a driving layer 7 made of a photodeformable material is added between the lens 8 and the packaging layer of the back panel 6, so as to adjust the focal length of each lens 8 in the microlens 8 array, so that the display plane and the focal plane of the lens 8 corresponding to each sub-pixel 4 are not on the same plane, so as to realize the arbitrary switching of the focal length between the near and far views of the image, so that the human eye can see images with different depths of field, and finally realize the 3D light field display effect.

[0076] Specifically, when 3D display is required, it is only necessary to turn on the light source 5. At this time, after the driving layer 7 receives the light from the light source 5, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 1 , the wall surface close to the light will shrink, and the wall surface away from the light will relax, so that the driving layer 7 bends in the direction away from the display component 3, thereby increasing the distance between the lens 8 corresponding to the pixel area and the sub-pixel 4. Therefore, the light emitted by the sub-pixel 4 will be refracted by the lens 8 and will converge in the opposite direction to A", from Fig.10 It can be seen from the figure that the plane where A" is located is not on the same plane as the plane where A is located, thereby realizing the focal length adjustment of a single lens 8. Of course, the focal lengths of multiple lenses 8 can also be adjusted as needed. The specific adjustment process is the same as the above steps, so it will not be described in detail here. In summary, after the driving layer 7 receives the light from the light source 5, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown, the wall surface close to the light will shrink, and the wall surface far from the light will relax, so that the driving layer 7 bends in the direction away from the display component 3, that is, the emission position of the light emitted by each sub-pixel 4 can be changed, so as to output a light field image and realize the arbitrary switching of the focal length between the near and far views of the image, so that the human eye can see images with different depths of field.

[0077] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to limit the position of the driving layer 7 in the horizontal direction so that it can only bend and deform along the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, a fixing layer 10 is further provided at the intersection of the plurality of driving layers 7, for fixing one end of the plurality of driving layers 7; specifically, when the driving layer 7 receives the light emitted by the light source 5, the wall surface close to the light will shrink to bend and deform along the vertical direction. During this process, since one end of the driving layer 7 has been fixed by the fixing layer 10, the driving layer 7 will not be able to move in the horizontal direction at this time and can only bend and deform in the vertical direction, thereby improving the accuracy of focal length adjustment; in addition, the fixing layer 10 in this embodiment can also be used as a supporting material, so that space for the lens 8 to move is left between the packaging cover plate 13 and the back plate 6.

[0078] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in order to facilitate the preparation of the fixed layer 10 at the intersection of multiple driving layers 7, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, an anchor layer 11 is provided at a position on the encapsulation layer corresponding to the light source 5 as a reference point, and the fixing layer 10 is provided on the anchor layer 11; preferably, the anchor layer 11 can be made of an opaque material, so that the light source 5 can be shielded, thereby preventing the light emitted by the light source 5 from affecting the display of the 3D display device.

[0079] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the light extraction efficiency of the light source 5 and thereby increase the bending deformation of the driving layer 7, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, a micro-nano structure 9 is provided between each of the driving layers 7 and the encapsulation layer, and the micro-nano structure 9 is composed of a plurality of periodically arranged gratings; specifically, the period of the gratings within a pixel unit is consistent; of course, the micro-nano structure 9 is not limited to the grating design, and structures such as pits or protrusions can also be used, which are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0080] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to further reduce the horizontal movement of the driving layer 7 when it is bent and deformed in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a hydrophobic layer is provided in the gap between each two adjacent gratings.

[0081] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to ensure the best light extraction efficiency of the light source 5, preferably, the size of the gap (grating constant d) between each two adjacent micro-nano gratings is as follows:

[0082]

[0083] in,

[0084]

[0085] Wherein, θ is the incident angle of the light beam; β is the diffraction angle of the light beam passing through the grating; d is the gap between each two adjacent micro-nano gratings, λ is the diffraction wavelength; neff is the effective refractive index; ε i is the dielectric constant; h i is the grating thickness.

[0086] Specifically, the above formula can be used to design different grating constants according to needs, thereby improving the light extraction efficiency of a certain monochromatic light passing through the grating; illustratively, when the light source 5 is set to 405-455nm ultraviolet visible light, in order to ensure that it has the best light extraction efficiency, the wavelength value is substituted into the above formula to determine the range value of the gap (grating constant d) between each two adjacent micro-nano gratings. As long as the gap between each two adjacent nano gratings in the 3D display device is set according to the above range value, the light extraction efficiency of the light source 5 can be guaranteed to be at the optimal value.

[0087] In a specific embodiment, the pixels of the display component 3 adopt a mirror design, referring to the Diamond pixel arrangement, the product size is 6.9", the resolution is 1440x3088, and the pixel size is 51.4*51.4um; the distance between the microlens 8 array and the light-emitting layer 2 in the display component 3 is 15.6um, and the thickness of the encapsulation layer is 13um; the thickness of the driving layer 7 is 2um, and the driving layer 7 is made of an azobenzene polymer, specifically a polyurethane copolymer containing an azodiphenylethene group or a copolymer of a derivative containing a benzospiropyran group and PMMA. Since the azobenzene structure polymer is a cis-trans isomer and has photoisomerization, when it receives light, only the surface structure absorbs light to shrink or relax. Specifically, when it receives 405-455nm ultraviolet visible light irradiation, the molecular chain length shortens to shrink, and when it receives 577nm light irradiation, the molecular chain length lengthens to stretch. The photosensitive wavelength of different polymer materials can be determined by molecular design, and the type variable of the material can be as high as 400%.

[0088] Among them, the focal length of the lens 8 has the following relationship with the arch height H and the aperture D, according to:

[0089]

[0090] Through the above formula, when two variables D&H are determined in the design, the focal length can be calculated according to the design value, thereby determining the placement height of the lens 8 to the pixel area; wherein, the material of the lens 8 selects high-thickness materials such as EPG590 and TMR-TS01E. Specifically, different materials need to maintain the morphology of the lens 8, and the aperture: arch height, i.e., D:H, is different. For example, the limit maintained by EPG590 is D:H=11.8, and the arc morphology is no longer maintained if this value is exceeded.

[0091] The formula for the bending deformation of the driving layer 7 is:

[0092]

[0093] Where:

[0094] h is the material thickness;

[0095] K is the ratio constant of even single molecules undergoing isomerization reaction to the total photosensitivity;

[0096] τct is the characteristic time;

[0097] η is the absorption transition constant of light;

[0098] d is the light attenuation distance;

[0099] t is the illumination time;

[0100] I0 is the light intensity;

[0101] z is the distance from the light source 5 to the wall surface of the driving layer 7 that is illuminated.

[0102] In summary, after the photodeformable material of the driving layer 7 is selected, the deformation of the driving layer 7 can be directly calculated by the above formula and added to the original focal length of the lens 8 to calculate the focal length of the lens 8 .

[0103] like Fig.11 As shown, when only the light intensity is a single variable, the curvature radius of the driving layer 7 corresponding to the current light intensity, that is, the bending deformation of the driving layer 7, can be determined by looking up a table.

[0104] Furthermore, in order to avoid the light source 5 interfering with the display effect when the display component 3 is displaying, thereby causing the problem of cross-color, it is preferred that Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the control IC adjusts the Data timing to control the light source 5 and RGB to light up non-simultaneously. For example, when RGB is lit in the first frame, the Data signal of RGB is in normal timing. At this time, the Data signal of the light source 5 is pulled up to 4.6V in the T2 stage, and the light source 5 is in the off state. On the contrary, when RGB is turned off, the light source 5 emits light. At the same time, during the light-emitting stage of the light source 5, the voltage of the Data signal is pulled up (darkened) or lowered (brightened) (2-4.6V) to control the light intensity of the light source 5, thereby controlling the bending degree of the photosensitive material. Specifically, as shown in the above formula It is shown that when the brightness of the light source 5 is increased, the corresponding bending deformation of the driving layer 7 is increased, the distance between the lens 8 and RGB will become larger, and the displayed image moves away from the display component 3 compared to the normal display imaging position, thereby further increasing the focal length of the lens 8; of course, in this embodiment, it is not limited to adjusting the brightness of the light source 5 to change the bending deformation of the driving layer 7, thereby adjusting the distance between the lens 8 and the light source 5, and then adjusting the focal length of the lens 8. Referring to the above formula, the bending deformation of the driving layer 7 can also be adjusted by the illumination time and other parameters to control the depth of field.
