[0038] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and optional embodiments.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, as a first embodiment of the present application, a double-sided display device 10 is disclosed, comprising a display panel 200 and a backlight module 100, wherein the backlight module 100 comprises a lamp board 110 and a plurality of lamp beads 120 arranged on the lamp board 110; the lamp board 110 is generally provided with circuit wiring, and when powered on, the lamp beads 120 emit light to provide backlight for the double-sided display device 10, and the lamp beads 120 are mini-LED lamps or micro-LED lamps; the double-sided display device 10 further comprises a plurality of micro-rotating devices 130, wherein the micro-rotating devices 130 are arranged on the light-emitting surface of the lamp beads 120. On the top; the micro-rotation device 130 includes a transmission area 131 and a reflection area 132, and the micro-rotation device 130 changes or transforms the positions of the transmission area 131 and the reflection area 132 by rotation; generally, the area of ​​the lamp board 110 corresponding to the pixel display area of ​​the display panel 200 is transparent, or the entire lamp board 110 can also be set to be transparent, and the lamp board 110 can be glass, silicon board or transparent ceramic; the light emitted by the lamp bead 120 passes through the transmission area 131 to form the front image of the double-sided display device 10, and is reflected back by the reflection area 132 to form the back image of the double-sided display device 10.

[0041] In this embodiment, a micro-rotating device 130 is mainly provided on the light-emitting surface of the lamp bead 120. The micro-rotating device 130 includes a transmissive area 131 and a reflective area 132. The transmissive area 131 can transmit light, and the reflective area 132 can reflect light. The micro-rotating device 130 changes the positions of the transmissive area 131 and the reflective area 132 by its own rotation. When the transmissive area 131 of the micro-rotating device 130 rotates to be directly above the lamp bead 120, the double-sided display device 10 displays the front image; when the reflective area 132 of the micro-rotating device 130 rotates to be directly above the lamp bead 120, the double-sided display device 10 displays the back image. The transmissive area 131 and the reflective area 132 appear alternately above the lamp bead 120, so that the lamp bead 120 can provide backlight for both the front and back sides, thereby realizing double-sided display. The front and back images have the same resolution, and the resolution of the front and back images will not be reduced under the premise of realizing double-sided display.

[0042] Generally, the lamp beads 120 include red LED lights, green LED lights and blue LED lights. The number of red LED lights, green LED lights and blue LED lights is the same. One red LED light, one green LED light and one blue LED light form a lamp group. The lamp board 110 is provided with multiple lamp groups. The reflectivity of the reflection area 132 of the micro-rotating device 130 corresponding to the LED lights in each lamp group is different. The reflectivity of the reflection area 132 of the micro-rotating device 130 corresponding to the blue LED light is greater than the reflectivity of the reflection area 132 of the micro-rotating device 130 corresponding to the red LED light or the green LED light.

[0043] In order to achieve color display of the back image, this embodiment uses three different colors of lamp beads 120, namely red LED lights, green LED lights and blue LED lights. Different colors of images are displayed according to the different colors of lamp beads 120, rather than a single black and white display. In addition, while achieving color display on the back, the obvious difference in the loss of light of different colors is also taken into account. Blue light is weaker than other colors of light in terms of both transmittance and reflectivity. In order to avoid color deviation caused by insufficient amount of blue light during light mixing, the micro-rotating device 130 for blue light is adjusted. The reflectivity of the reflection area 132 of the micro-rotating device 130 corresponding to the blue LED light is greater than the reflectivity of the reflection area 132 of the micro-rotating device 130 corresponding to the red LED light or the green LED light. The amount of blue light during light mixing avoids large loss of blue light, and the color formed by mixing with red light and green light in the light mixing stage is yellowish, affecting the display effect.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] As the second embodiment of this application, refer to Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment is mainly described by taking the arrangement of one micro-rotation device 130 corresponding to one lamp bead 120 as an example, the areas of the transmission area 131 and the reflection area 132 are equal, and the area of ​​the transmission area 131 or the reflection area 132 is equal to the area of ​​one pixel display area; when the transmission area 131 rotates to above the lamp bead 120, the brightness value of the lamp bead 120 is L1, and when the reflection area 132 rotates to above the lamp bead 120, the brightness value of the lamp bead 120 is L2, wherein L1 is not equal to L2, the front image and the back image are different images, and the front and back displays of the double-sided display device 10 are realized by repeatedly switching the positions of the transmission area 131 and the reflection area 132, and at the same time changing the brightness value of the lamp bead 120, different grayscale displays can be presented, so that the images displayed on the front and back of the double-sided display device 10 are different.

[0046] In addition, the areas of the transmission area 131 and the reflection area 132 can be adjusted according to the display conditions. For example, the area ratio of the transmission area 131 and the reflection area 132 is 6:4, the area of ​​the transmission area 131 and the pixel display area is the same, and the area of ​​the reflection area 132 is smaller than the area of ​​the pixel display area. This is equivalent to reducing the area of ​​the display area of ​​the reflection area 132, thereby increasing the brightness of the picture on the back and avoiding the light in the reflection area 132 being reflected and part of the light being lost, resulting in the actual display brightness of the entire pixel display area being low, affecting the display effect.

[0047] Furthermore, the transmission area 131 is provided with a transparent layer 134, and the reflection area 132 is provided with a reflection layer 133. The transparent layer and the reflection layer 133 form a circular structure. The transparent layer 134 and the reflection layer 133 are both fan-shaped, and in the circular structure, the sum of the central angles of the transparent layer is the same as the sum of the central angles of the reflection layer, that is, in the circular structure composed of the reflection area 132 and the transmission area 131, the sum of the areas of the corresponding fan-shaped areas is equal; in order to increase the display effect of the display panel on the transmission surface, light-excitation material can be added to the transparent layer to increase the brightness of the light, so as to improve the display effect of the corresponding display surface; it should be noted that the transmission area 131 can also be a hollow setting, which is equivalent to the initial Part of the reflective layer 133 of a circular structure is hollowed out, the hollowed-out area is the transmissive area 131, and the non-hollowed-out area is the reflective area 132. The reflective coating of the reflective area 132 is generally arranged on the side close to the lamp bead 120 to reflect the light emitted by the lamp bead 120 back, and the side away from the lamp bead 120 can be coated with a reflective material as needed. If the reflective material is not coated, a black opaque material can be coated to form a shading layer 135 to absorb the ambient light from the front. In this way, a black matrix can be omitted in the display panel 200. In addition, in addition to coating the reflective material to achieve reflection, a reflector can be set on the side of the reflective area 132 close to the lamp bead to achieve reflection.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, as the third embodiment of the present application, different from the above-mentioned second embodiment, each of the micro-rotation devices 130 is arranged corresponding to at least two of the lamp beads 120, the areas of the transmission area 131 and the reflection area 132 are equal, and the area of ​​the transmission area 131 or the reflection area 132 is equal to the area of ​​a pixel display area; the transmission area 131 and the reflection area 132 include at least two fan-shaped areas, the transmission area 131 is hollow, and a reflection layer 133 is provided in the reflection area 132; when the transmission area 131 rotates to above one of the lamp beads 120, the reflection area 132 rotates to above the other lamp bead.

[0050] In this embodiment, a micro-rotating device 130 can be set to correspond to two lamp beads 120, that is, one rotating device controls two direct display pixels, and the position design of the transmission area 131 and the reflection area 132 of the rotating device can further reduce the spacing between the lamp beads 120, and the area of ​​the pixel display area can also be further reduced, thereby improving the refresh rate of the front and back of the double-sided display device 10. The transmission area 131 is hollowed out, and the reflection area 132 is provided with a reflective layer 133. The reflection area 132 is arranged opposite to the transmission area 131, and the refresh rate is improved by alternating the front and back displays of adjacent same-color pixels.

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, generally, a micro-rotating device 130 can correspond to four direct display pixels, and the spacing between the lamp beads 120 is increased from top to bottom and left to right to increase the refresh rate; the micro-rotating device 130 is composed of two fan-shaped transmission areas 131 and two fan-shaped reflection areas 132. The transmission areas 131 and the reflection areas 132 are arranged at intervals, and the positions of the transmission areas 131 and the reflection areas 132 are changed by rotation. When the two fan-shaped transmission areas 131 rotate to the top of the upper and lower lamp beads 120, the two lamp beads The light emitted by the two lamp beads 120 directly passes through the corresponding transmission area 131, and the upper and lower lamp beads 120 provide backlight for the front display of the double-sided display device 10; at the same time, the two fan-shaped reflection areas 132 rotate to the top of the left and right lamp beads 120, and the light emitted by the left and right lamp beads 120 is reflected back to the lamp beads 120 by the two fan-shaped reflection areas 132. The light reflected back by the left and right lamp beads 120 by the reflection areas 132 serves as the backlight for the back display of the double-sided display device 10 to realize the display of the back image.

[0052] Furthermore, the lamp beads 120 are micro-LED lamps, each of which corresponds to a pixel display area. The lamp beads 120 are arranged in multiple rows and columns, and four adjacent lamp beads 120 form a lamp group. The lamp beads 120 in each lamp group are arranged in 2*2. Each lamp group is provided with a micro-rotating device 130, and the micro-rotating device 130 is provided with two fan-shaped transmission areas 131 and reflection areas 132, and the transmission areas 131 and the reflection areas 132 are arranged at intervals. The four lamp beads 120 in each lamp group are respectively a red LED lamp, a green LED lamp, a blue LED lamp and a white LED lamp.

[0053] In this embodiment, one micro-rotating device 130 is provided with four lamp beads 120. When the micro-rotating device 130 is not rotating, the two transmissive areas 131 are located directly above the upper and lower lamp beads 120, and the two reflective areas 132 are located directly above the left and right lamp beads 120. The two transmissive areas 131 and the two reflective areas 132 are arranged alternately. By continuously rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, the positions of the transmissive areas 131 or the reflective areas 132 are continuously changed, so that the upper and lower or left and right lamp beads 120 serve as the backlight for the front display and the back display respectively, thereby realizing a double-sided display of the double-sided display device 10. In addition, the light obtained by mixing the three colors of light of red LED lamp, green LED lamp and blue LED lamp may not be pure enough. Therefore, a white LED lamp is added to adjust the color temperature to improve the display effect.

[0054] Example 4:

[0055] refer to Figures 9 to 11As shown, as the fourth embodiment of the present application, it is a further refinement and improvement of any of the above embodiments. The micro-rotation device 130 is rotated by a driving structure 140. The driving structure 140 includes a fixed rod 141 and a driving wall 142. The fixed rod 141 is fixed to the light board 110. The driving wall 142 is sleeved on the fixed rod 141. The side of the driving wall 142 away from the light board 110 is fixedly connected to the micro-rotation device 130; the driving wall 142 is made of conductive material, and at least two driving electrodes are provided on both sides of the driving wall 142. 150, of the two driving electrodes 150, one is located below the transmission area 131, and the other is located below the reflection area 132; an electric field is generated between the two driving electrodes 150 to cause the driving wall 142 to rotate, thereby driving the micro-rotation device 130 to rotate. When the transmission area 131 of the micro-rotation device 130 rotates to directly above the lamp bead 120, the double-sided display device 10 displays the front image; when the reflection area 132 of the micro-rotation device 130 rotates to directly above the lamp bead 120, the double-sided display device 10 displays the back image.

[0056] The micro-rotating device 130 and the driving structure 140 are integrally formed by two-photon 3D printing and other technologies. During the preparation of the micro-selective device, charged particles are added to make the driving wall 142 have a certain electrical property so that it can be driven by the electrode (or magnetic particles are added to make the micro-rotating device 130 magnetic and driven by the magnetic field. The electrical drive is used as an example in the following). The driving wall 142 is used to bear the force to rotate the entire micro-rotating device 130 at any angle, and the position of the transmission area 131 and the reflection area 132 is switched by continuously rotating in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. At least two of the lamp beads 120 are set as an example for explanation. The transmission area 131 of the micro-rotation device 130 includes two transmission sector areas that are symmetrical to each other with the fixed rod 141 as the center. The transmission sector areas are formed of transparent material or directly hollowed out. The driving wall 142 is fixedly connected to the two transmission sector areas on the side away from the lamp board 110. The reflection area 132 includes two reflection sector areas that are symmetrical to each other with the fixed rod 141 as the center; a reflective coating is provided on the side of the reflection sector area close to the lamp bead 120, and the reflective coating can reflect the light emitted by the lamp bead 120 back.

[0057] Furthermore, to prevent the micro-rotating device 130 from rotating too far, limit structures are provided on both sides of the drive wall 142 of each micro-rotating device 130. The limit structures are intended to stabilize the rotation angle of the micro-rotating device 130 within 90°. Furthermore, electrodes are provided near the limit structures to drive the micro-rotating device 130 in rotation. This is primarily accomplished by an external driver IC supplying electrical energy to the electrodes, which in turn applies force to the electrically charged drive wall 142, causing it to rotate.

[0058] Furthermore, the double-sided display device 10 includes a refresh rate adjustment module 160, which is electrically connected to the drive electrode 150. The refresh rate adjustment module 160 controls the rotation speed of the micro-rotation device 130 by outputting voltages of different sizes to the drive electrode 150, thereby changing the refresh rate of the front display or the back display of the double-sided display device 10.

[0059] The display panel 200 displays different front and back images by rotating the micro-rotating device 130 and adjusting the brightness of the direct display light source. When the transmissive area 131 of the micro-rotating device 130 rotates to directly above the direct display light source, it is the front display image, and the displayed image is determined by the brightness of the direct display light source. The duration of one frame is the duration of the direct display light source display in the transmissive area 131. When the reflective area 132 is directly above the direct display light source, it is the back display, and the back display is consistent with the front display mode. The refresh frequency of the front image or the back image is determined by the rotation speed of the micro-rotating device 130. The faster the rotation speed, the higher the refresh rate. Assuming that the rotation period of the micro-rotating device 130 is T, and the angle (θ) and number (n) of the rotating platform occupied by the hollow part and the reflective part of the micro-rotating device platform are consistent, the time of one frame is The time of one frame can be adjusted by the rotation speed of the rotating device.

[0060] Example 5:

[0061] like Figure 12 As shown, as the seventh embodiment of the present application, a driving method for a double-sided display device is disclosed, the driving method is used to drive the display device as described in any of the above embodiments, and the driving method includes the steps of:

[0062] S1: Turning on the lamp beads on the backlight module to make the lamp beads emit light; and

[0063] S2: Rotate the micro-rotating device to change the position of the transmission area and the reflection area;

[0064] refer to Figure 1 value Figure 3As shown, when the transmission area 131 rotates to directly above the lamp bead 120, the light emitted by the lamp bead 120 passes through the transmission area 131 to form the front image of the double-sided display device 10, and when the reflection area 132 rotates to directly above the lamp bead 120, the light emitted by the lamp bead 120 is reflected back by the reflection area 132 to form the back image of the double-sided display device 10.

[0065] A micro-rotating device provided with a transmissive area 131 and a reflective area 132 is arranged on the light-emitting surface of the lamp bead 120. The heights of the transmissive area 131 and the reflective area 132 are controlled within a preset threshold range, for example, between 0.1 cm and 2 cm. Some electrodes are negatively charged and adjacent electrodes are positively charged. A horizontal electric field is formed by the adjacent electrodes, causing the driving wall 142 to rotate, thereby driving the micro-rotator to rotate. The speed of the micro-rotator can be controlled by the amount of electricity supplied by the electrodes. The micro-rotating device is driven to rotate by the electric field generated by the driving electrode 150. Through continuous rotation, the reflective area 132 and the transmissive area 131 rotate alternately to directly above the direct display pixel light source, thereby realizing double-sided display.

[0066] For further reference, Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 11 As shown, considering that the refresh rate required for continuously displaying images may remain unchanged during display, this embodiment can control the refresh rate of the double-sided display device 10 by turning on the refresh rate adjustment module 160. The step S2 includes:

[0067] S21: Turn on the refresh rate adjustment module to output different driving voltages to the driving electrodes of the micro-rotating device, change the rotation speed of the micro-rotating device, and adjust the refresh rates of the front and back images of the double-sided display device.

[0068] The double-sided display device 10 of the present application does not need to rely on the scanning time of the scanning line of the display panel 200 to increase the refresh rate. The refresh rate of the present application is determined by the rotation speed of the micro-rotating device 130. The faster the rotation speed, the higher the refresh rate. For example, if the rotation period of the micro-rotating device is T and the angle (θ) and number (n) of the rotating platform occupied by the hollow part and the reflective part of the micro-rotating device platform are the same, then the time of one frame is The time of one frame can be adjusted by the rotation speed of the rotating device.
