[0002] With the development of science and technology, LCD / OLED / MicroLED and other display screens have gradually replaced paper books and become the most common medium for acquiring knowledge. Compared with paper printed products such as books, LCD and other display devices have many advantages in reading. For example, they can actively emit light, which can ensure normal reading in a relatively dark environment, and can display a variety of resources.
[0003] Among them, the existing display panel includes a display component and a glass cover plate, but there is a certain distance between the pixel definition layer of the display component and the glass cover plate. The area of light transmitted by a single sub-pixel projected onto the bottom of the glass cover plate is larger than the size of the single sub-pixel, so that the glass cover plate within the area corresponding to the size of the single sub-pixel will be disturbed by the large-angle light of other sub-pixels. In order to ensure that the crosstalk between adjacent pixels is small in the related technology, the crosstalk between adjacent pixels is reduced by improving the alignment accuracy when bonding the glass cover plate and the display component, but the operation is relatively difficult. Summary of the invention

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the area S2 of a single sub-pixel is set to (Lx+Dx)*(Ly+Dy), and the alignment of the entire period is based on to avoid deviation of other sub-pixels during alignment.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Now, the display panel 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is described. The display panel 10 is used to connect with the backlight module 2 to form a display device, which is widely used in electronic products such as televisions, mobile terminals or desktop displays.
[0051] Specifically, the display panel 10 includes a display assembly 11 and an optical waveguide panel 12 . The components of the display panel 10 are further described below.
[0052] The display component 11 includes a plurality of sub-pixels, each of which is a sub-pixel of different colors, such as red, green or blue, so that the display component 11 can emit light of different colors;
[0053] The light waveguide panel 12 is disposed on the light emitting surface of the display component 11. Light emitted by each sub-pixel is incident into the light waveguide panel 12. The light waveguide panel 12 includes a plurality of waveguide groups 120. Each waveguide group 120 is used for light emitted by a corresponding sub-pixel to enter.
[0054] Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the sub-pixel on the optical waveguide panel 12 overlaps with the waveguide group 120, and the orthographic projection area of the sub-pixel on the optical waveguide panel 12 is smaller than the area of the corresponding waveguide group 120, and the axis L1 of the waveguide group 120 corresponding to one of the sub-pixels along the first direction overlaps with the axis L2 of the sub-pixel along the first direction, wherein the first direction is the Z-axis direction, and during bonding, it is only necessary to satisfy that the axis L1 of the waveguide group 120 corresponding to one of the sub-pixels along the first direction overlaps with the axis L2 of the sub-pixel along the first direction, then the other sub-pixels can be located within the area of the corresponding waveguide group 120, so that the light with a larger angle among the light emitted by each sub-pixel can be emitted from the corresponding waveguide group 120, and the light emitted by the sub-pixel can be prevented from being emitted from the waveguide group 120 corresponding to the adjacent sub-pixel, and the light crosstalk between adjacent sub-pixels is small.
[0055] It should be noted that the orthographic projection area of each pixel in the display panel in the related technology on the glass panel is close to the area of the corresponding waveguide group. A slight deviation during bonding will cause crosstalk problems between two adjacent pixels. Therefore, when bonding the glass panel to the display component, it is necessary to improve the alignment accuracy to ensure that each pixel completely covers the corresponding glass panel to reduce optical crosstalk between adjacent pixels.
[0056] Based on this, the applicant has found through research that by adopting an optical waveguide panel 12, and overlapping the orthographic projection of the sub-pixel on the optical waveguide panel 12 with the corresponding waveguide group 120, and the orthographic projection area of the sub-pixel on the optical waveguide panel 12 is smaller than the area of the corresponding waveguide group 120, when bonding, it is only necessary to satisfy that the axis of the waveguide group 120 corresponding to one of the sub-pixels along the first direction overlaps with the axis of the sub-pixel along the first direction, then the other sub-pixels can naturally be located in the area of the corresponding waveguide group 120, so that the light with a larger angle among the light emitted by each sub-pixel can be emitted from the corresponding waveguide group 120, and the light emitted by the sub-pixel can be prevented from being emitted from the waveguide group 120 corresponding to the adjacent sub-pixel, and the crosstalk between the adjacent sub-pixels is small, thereby solving the technical problem of reducing the crosstalk between adjacent pixels by improving the alignment accuracy between the existing display component and the glass panel, and the operation is simple and convenient, and the display effect is better.
[0057] Furthermore, the waveguide group 120 includes a plurality of waveguide units 121, and the area of each sub-pixel and the area of the corresponding plurality of waveguide units 121 satisfy the formula: r=[S1-S2] / S2, r<0.25, wherein S1 is the area of the plurality of waveguide units 121, and S2 is the area of the sub-pixel, so that the area of the light emitted by each sub-pixel projected onto the optical waveguide panel 12 is located within the area of the waveguide group 120 corresponding to the sub-pixel, thereby making the light emitted by each sub-pixel incident into the corresponding waveguide unit 121 and emitted without crosstalk to the waveguide unit 121 corresponding to the adjacent sub-pixel, that is, the optical waveguide panel 12 and the display component 11 do not need to consider the alignment accuracy when bonding, and can be directly attached.
[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, r is 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23 or 0.24. When the optical waveguide panel 12 is bonded to the display component 11, it is not necessary to ensure that each sub-pixel completely covers the corresponding waveguide unit 121. Direct bonding can reduce the optical crosstalk between two adjacent sub-pixels. As long as the ratio of the area of each sub-pixel that does not cover the corresponding waveguide unit 121 to the sub-pixel area is set to less than 0.25, the operation is simple and convenient, and the display effect is better.
[0059] Specifically, see Figure 2 , when the waveguide unit 121 is a square structure, S1=c*d 2 , S2=(Lx+Dx)*(Ly+Dy), where d is the side length of the waveguide unit 121, Lx is the length of each sub-pixel effective area 116, Ly is the width of each sub-pixel effective area 116, Dx is the spacing between two adjacent sub-pixel effective areas 116 along the second direction x, Ly is the spacing between two adjacent sub-pixel effective areas 116 along the second direction x and the third direction y, the second direction x refers to the length direction of the sub-pixel effective area 116, and the third direction y refers to the width of the sub-pixel effective area 116. The width direction of the region 116, the second direction x and the third direction y are all arranged perpendicular to the first direction, so that the area where the light emitted by each sub-pixel of the square structure is projected onto the optical waveguide panel 12 is located within the area of the waveguide group 120 corresponding to the sub-pixel, and then the light emitted by each sub-pixel is incident on the corresponding waveguide unit 121 and emitted without crosstalk to the waveguide unit 121 corresponding to the adjacent sub-pixel, that is, there is no need to consider the alignment accuracy when the optical waveguide panel and the display component 11 are bonded, and they can be directly attached.
[0060] It should be noted that the area of a single sub-pixel is (Lx+Dx)*(Ly+Dy) because when the display component 11 and the optical waveguide panel 12 are bonded, the sub-pixels are arranged periodically, and the arrangement of the waveguide unit 121 is also periodic. The bonding must consider the alignment of the entire period. If only the effective area of the pixel is considered, when one of the sub-pixels is aligned, there will be deviations in the alignment of other sub-pixels.
[0061] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figures 3 to 7 The multiple waveguide groups 120 include a first waveguide sequence 1201 and a second waveguide sequence 1202 arranged parallel to the second direction x, the first waveguide sequence 1201 includes a plurality of first waveguide units 1211 arranged in sequence along the second direction x, and the second waveguide sequence 1202 includes a plurality of second waveguide units 1212 arranged in sequence along the second direction x.
[0062] Further, in this embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 6 The adjacent first waveguide unit 1211 and the second waveguide unit 1212 are completely overlapped in the third direction y, that is, the position of the first waveguide unit 1211 corresponds to the position of the second waveguide unit 1212. The first waveguide unit 1211 and the second waveguide unit 1212 are completely overlapped in the third direction y, and processing and bonding are more convenient.
[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the adjacent first waveguide units 1211 and the second waveguide units 1212 partially overlap in the third direction y, that is, the first waveguide units 1211 and the second waveguide units 1212 are staggered in the third direction y, wherein a first waveguide unit 1211 is arranged between two adjacent second waveguide units 1212. Since the arrangement of sub-pixels is relatively regular, moiré patterns are easily generated between neatly arranged waveguide units 121 and neatly arranged sub-pixels. In this embodiment, the waveguide units 121 are staggered, thereby reducing the generation of moiré patterns after the optical waveguide panel 12 and the display component 11 are bonded.
[0064] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8The waveguide unit 121 includes a central layer 1213 and a cortex 1214, wherein the cortex 1214 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the central layer 1213, and the refractive index n2 of the cortex 1214 is less than the refractive index n1 of the central layer 1213. The refractive index n2 of the cortex 1214 is set to be less than the refractive index n1 of the central layer 1213, that is, n2 is less than n1. In this embodiment, the refractive index n1 of the central layer 1213 is further set to be between 1.3 and 1.6, so that the light incident from the incident end of the central layer 1213 can be fully emitted when passing through the junction between the cortex 1214 and the central layer 1213, so that as much light as possible can be emitted from the waveguide unit 121.
[0065] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figures 3 to 7 , the central layer 1213 is a circular, square or regular polygonal structure; and / or, the skin layer 1214 is a circular, square or regular polygonal structure, that is, the shape of the waveguide unit 121 has the following situations: the first situation is that the central layer 1213 is circular, and the skin layer 1214 arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the central layer 1213 can be a circular, square or regular polygonal structure, wherein the circular central layer 1213 is matched with a circular skin layer 1214, or the circular central layer 1213 is matched with a square skin layer 1214, or the circular central layer 1213 is matched with a regular polygonal skin layer 1214; the second situation is that the central layer 1213 is square, and the skin layer 1214 arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the central layer 1213 is 214 can be a circular, directional or regular polygonal structure, wherein the square central layer 1213 is matched with a circular cortex 1214, or the square central layer 1213 is matched with a square cortex 1214, or the square central layer 1213 is matched with a regular polygonal cortex 1214; the third case is that the shape of the central layer 1213 is a regular polygon, and the cortex 1214 arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the central layer 1213 can be a circular, square or regular polygonal structure, wherein the regular polygonal central layer 1213 is matched with a circular cortex 1214, or the regular polygonal central layer 1213 is matched with a square cortex 1214, or the regular polygonal central layer 1213 is matched with a regular polygonal cortex 1214.
[0066] The following embodiments are provided based on the arrangement of the central layer 1213 and the skin layer 1214 in different shapes:
[0067] Embodiment 1:
[0068] Specifically, see Figure 3In this embodiment, when the shape of the central layer 1213 is circular and the shape of the skin layer 1214 is square, and the adjacent first waveguide units 1211 and the second waveguide units 1212 are arranged one-to-one in the second direction x, the skin layer 1214 is arranged in a square shape and the adjacent first waveguide units 1211 and the second waveguide units 1212 are arranged one-to-one, which ensures that when the optical waveguide panel 12 and the display component 11 are bonded, it is more conducive to alignment.
[0069] Embodiment 2:
[0070] The difference from the above embodiment is that, see Figure 4 The shape of the cortex 1214 is a regular hexagon, and the adjacent first waveguide units 1211 and the second waveguide units 1212 partially overlap in the second direction x. The processing technology of the hexagonal cortex 1214 is simpler, and the adjacent first waveguide units 1211 and the second waveguide units 1212 partially overlap in the second direction x, which can reduce the generation of moiré patterns after the optical waveguide panel 12 and the display component 11 are bonded.
[0071] Embodiment three:
[0072] The difference from the above embodiment is that, see Figure 5 The shape of the central layer 1213 is circular, and the shape of the skin layer 1214 is square, but the adjacent first waveguide units 1211 and second waveguide units 1212 partially overlap in the second direction x, so that the generation of moiré patterns after the optical waveguide panel 12 and the display component 11 are bonded can be reduced.
[0073] Embodiment 4:
[0074] The difference from the above embodiment is that, see Figure 6 The shape of the central layer 1213 is square, the shape of the skin layer 1214 is square, and the adjacent first waveguide units 1211 and the second waveguide units 1212 are arranged one by one in the second direction x, so that it is more conducive to alignment when the optical waveguide panel 12 and the display component 11 are bonded.
[0075] Embodiment five:
[0076] The difference from the above embodiment is that, see Figure 7 The shape of the central layer 1213 is square, the shape of the skin layer 1214 is square, and the adjacent first waveguide units 1211 and second waveguide units 1212 partially overlap in the second direction x, so that the generation of moiré patterns after the optical waveguide panel 12 and the display component 11 are bonded can be reduced.
[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The shape of the sub-pixel is square, and the side length L of the sub-pixel ranges from 30 to 500 mm. In specific applications, the sub-pixel size is avoided to be too large, resulting in the optical waveguide panel 12 being attached to the display component 11 without achieving the floating display effect. At the same time, it is also avoided that the sub-pixel size is too small, and the size of the waveguide unit 121 is similar to that of the sub-pixel, resulting in the easy generation of moiré patterns after the optical waveguide panel 12 is attached to the display component 11.
[0078] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the size d of the waveguide unit 121 is greater than 2 μm, and the size d of the waveguide unit 121 is smaller than the side length L of the sub-pixel, wherein the size d of the waveguide unit 121 refers to the side length of the waveguide unit 121 or the diameter of the waveguide unit 121. When the waveguide unit 121 is square, the size d of the waveguide unit 121 refers to the side length of the waveguide unit 121. When the waveguide unit 121 is circular, the size d of the waveguide unit 121 refers to the diameter of the waveguide unit 121, thereby avoiding the waveguide unit 121 being similar in size to the sub-pixel, which results in the easy generation of moiré patterns after the optical waveguide panel 12 is attached to the display component 11.
[0079] In another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The display panel 10 further includes an optical adhesive layer 13 , which is disposed between the display component 11 and the optical waveguide panel 12 . By using the optical adhesive layer 13 , the optical waveguide panel 12 can be attached to the display component 11 .
[0080] Specifically, further combining Figure 8 In this embodiment, the optical adhesive layer 13 and the waveguide unit 121 satisfy the following formula: n*sinθ=NA, where n is the refractive index of the optical adhesive layer 13, n1 is the refractive index of the central layer 1213, n2 is the refractive index of the cortex 1214, and θ is the maximum angle at which light can be transmitted in the waveguide structure. By changing the refractive index of the optical adhesive layer 13, the angle θ can be adjusted so that light greater than the angle θ is refracted into the cortex 1214 when incident on the junction of the central layer 1213 and the cortex 1214, and light incident within the range of the angle θ is totally reflected when incident on the junction of the central layer 1213 and the cortex 1214, and is emitted from the exit end of the central layer 1213.

[0082] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 1 The thickness of the optical waveguide panel 12 is 4-10μm. In specific applications, the thickness of the optical waveguide panel 12 is 4μm, 5μm, 6μm, 7μm, 8μm, 9μm or 10μm.

[0083] Further integration Fig. 9 The preparation method of the optical waveguide panel 12 used in the above-mentioned display panel 10 is as follows:
[0084] Step S100: single wire drawing, a glass rod is set in the center of the hollow glass, and the peripheral control glass is drawn into a filament by heating and drawing to form a waveguide unit 121. The central glass rod can be round, square or regular polygonal;
[0085] Step S200: Arrange a plurality of waveguide units 121 in combination, wherein the arrangement may be one-to-one arrangement or staggered arrangement, and the staggered arrangement may greatly increase the efficiency;
[0086] Step S300: Pressing and molding, the arranged waveguide units 121 need to be placed in a mold and pressurized, and then the separated waveguide units 121 are pressed together to form a whole under high temperature conditions; wherein, in this step, the heating method includes but is not limited to heat conduction, infrared heating method or microwave heating method, as long as the plurality of waveguide units 121 can be pressed together to form a whole;
[0087] Step S400: composite wire drawing. The waveguide unit 121 drawn once is relatively large in size. The above steps need to be repeated for multiple times to obtain the required optical waveguide panel 12. Generally, the required optical waveguide panel 12 can be obtained by repeating the steps for 2-3 times.
[0088] Step S500: cutting, grinding and polishing. Since the pressed optical waveguide panel 12 is generally thick, it can be cut as needed and then ground and polished.
[0089] In one embodiment of the present application, the display component 11 includes a lower polarizer 111, a lower glass plate 112, an array substrate 113, a liquid crystal layer 114, a color film substrate 115, an upper glass plate 118 and an upper polarizer 119, which are arranged in sequence from a direction away from the light waveguide panel 12 to a direction close to the light waveguide panel 12, wherein the array substrate 113 includes a plurality of sub-pixel switches, the color film substrate 115 includes a plurality of sub-pixels arranged corresponding to the sub-pixel switches and a shading layer 117 arranged between two adjacent sub-pixels, so that light of various colors can be emitted.
[0090] See also Figure 1 The present application also provides a display device, which includes the display panel 10 in any of the above embodiments.
[0091] The display device provided by the present application adopts the above-mentioned display panel 10, and overlaps the orthographic projection of the sub-pixel on the optical waveguide panel 12 with the corresponding waveguide group 120, and the orthographic projection area of the sub-pixel on the optical waveguide panel 12 is smaller than the area of the corresponding waveguide group 120. When bonding, it is only necessary to satisfy that the axis of the waveguide group 120 corresponding to one of the sub-pixels overlaps with the axis of the sub-pixel, then the other sub-pixels can be located in the area of the corresponding waveguide group 120, so that the light with a larger angle among the light emitted by each sub-pixel can be emitted from the corresponding waveguide group 120, and the light emitted by the sub-pixel can be prevented from being emitted from the waveguide group 120 corresponding to the adjacent sub-pixel, and the crosstalk between the adjacent sub-pixels is small, thereby solving the technical problem of reducing the crosstalk between adjacent pixels by improving the alignment accuracy between the existing display component and the glass panel, and the operation is simple and convenient, and the display effect is good.
[0092] Specifically, in this embodiment, the display device further includes a backlight module, which is disposed on a side of the display component 11 away from the light waveguide panel 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the display panel 10 is an organic light emitting diode screen, which can realize self-luminescence.
