Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of erasing technology of liquid crystal writing devices, and in particular to a method and system for increasing the erasing voltage of a liquid crystal writing device. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Liquid crystal writing devices have been widely used in education, office and other fields, and have very good development prospects. The working principle is to utilize the characteristics of cholesteric liquid crystal. By applying pressure on the liquid crystal writing device, the cholesteric liquid crystal at the pressure application position changes from a focal-conic state to a planar state, thereby being able to record the writing pressure traces of the writing pen and display the corresponding writing content. By applying an electric field, the cholesteric liquid crystal is flipped, that is, changed from a planar state to a focal-conic state, so that the writing traces on the liquid crystal writing device disappear to achieve erasure.
[0004] The structure of a liquid crystal writing device generally includes a first conductive layer, a liquid crystal layer, and a second conductive layer arranged in sequence from top to bottom. By applying an electric field between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the written content on the liquid crystal writing device can be erased.
[0005] In order to achieve local erasure of the liquid crystal writing device, the prior art divides the upper and lower conductive layers of the cholesteric liquid crystal into a plurality of mutually insulated conductive areas, and the conductive areas on the upper and lower conductive layers form a plurality of local erasing units at spatially overlapping positions. By applying a driving voltage to each conductive area, a set erasing electric field is formed on the local erasing unit corresponding to the position to be erased, thereby achieving local erasure of the writing at the position to be erased, while the writing at other positions remains unchanged.
[0006] In the prior art, the driving voltage is mostly generated by a driving chip. The higher the voltage output by the driving chip, the higher the required energy consumption. Therefore, it is expected to achieve the erasing effect with a lower driving voltage.
[0007] In addition, due to the limitations of the production process, the driving voltage generated by ordinary driver chips often has an upper limit. For example, the maximum voltage that the liquid crystal driver chip can output is mostly around 80V or 40V. Under normal circumstances, the driving voltage generated by the driver chip can fully meet the erasing requirements. However, because the cholesteric liquid crystal is exposed to ultraviolet rays, causing the liquid crystal molecules to decompose or the insulating layer to decompose, charged ions may be formed inside the liquid crystal, partially shielding the external electric field, causing the electric field that drives the cholesteric liquid crystal from a planar state to a focal conic state to increase with the use time. When the electric field required to drive the cholesteric liquid crystal to flip is greater than the upper limit of the driving voltage that the driver chip can generate, normal erasing cannot be achieved or the erasing effect is unsatisfactory, resulting in the product being unable to be used normally, which greatly affects the service life of the liquid crystal writing device. Summary of the invention
[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a method and system for increasing the erasing voltage of a liquid crystal writing device. By utilizing the capacitance formed between the upper and lower conductive layers and controlling the voltage loading method, an erasing electric field higher than the voltage difference output by the driving chip to the upper and lower conductive layers can be formed in the target erasing area while keeping the output voltage of the driving chip unchanged, thereby ensuring the erasing effect and improving the product service life.

[0067] Embodiment 1
[0068] In one or more embodiments, a method for increasing the erasing voltage of a liquid crystal writing device is disclosed, wherein, in combination with Figure 1 The liquid crystal writing device includes a first substrate layer, a first conductive layer, a cholesteric liquid crystal layer, a second conductive layer, a second substrate layer and a substrate arranged in sequence from top to bottom; the first substrate layer and the second substrate layer are usually made of PET film, and the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are usually made of ITO film.
[0069] In this embodiment, in order to realize the local erasing function of the liquid crystal writing device, the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are respectively divided into a plurality of parallel strip-shaped conductive regions, and the conductive regions on the first conductive layer and the conductive regions on the second conductive layer are perpendicular to each other in space. Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first conductive layer is divided into a plurality of mutually parallel and insulated vertical strip-shaped conductive regions, and the second conductive layer is divided into a plurality of mutually parallel and insulated horizontal strip-shaped conductive regions. Of course, the specific division method can be adjusted and interchanged as needed.
[0070] When the electric field required to drive the cholesteric liquid crystal to flip is greater than the upper limit of the driving voltage that the driving chip can provide, the method of increasing the erasing voltage of the liquid crystal writing device in this embodiment is as follows:
[0071] (1) Combination Figure 2 , a first voltage V1 is applied to all conductive areas on the first conductive layer, and a second voltage V2 is applied to all conductive areas on the second conductive layer; wherein, ;
[0072] If the second voltage is used as the reference zero potential, then:
[0073] ;
[0074] Among them, V st is the erasure start voltage of the cholesteric liquid crystal, and the erasure start voltage is a voltage that can cause some liquid crystal molecules to start changing from a planar state to a focal conic state.
[0075] At this time, the voltage difference between the two conductive layers is less than the erase start voltage V of the liquid crystal. st , it is impossible to erase the written content on the liquid crystal writing device.
[0076] (2) Control the drive outputs corresponding to all conductive areas on the first conductive layer to be in a high impedance state, and keep the conductive areas at set positions on the second conductive layer applying a second voltage. The first voltage V1 is applied to the remaining conductive area on the second conductive layer, so that the second voltage V2 is applied to the second conductive layer. The electric field at the corresponding position of the conductive area is increased to be greater than the erasure start voltage of the cholesteric liquid crystal, thereby erasing the written content at the corresponding position.
[0077] In this embodiment, after controlling the drive outputs corresponding to all conductive regions on the first conductive layer to be in a high impedance state, a first voltage V1 and a second voltage V2 are applied to the second conductive layer in a reasonable manner. The number of conductive regions enables a second voltage to be applied to the second conductive layer The electric field at the corresponding position of the conductive area is increased to be greater than the erasure start voltage of the cholesteric liquid crystal, thereby erasing the written content at the corresponding position.
[0078] The so-called high impedance state (Hiz) refers to controlling these conductive areas and their corresponding driving circuits to be in an 'open circuit' state, that is, they are physically connected but have no current input or current output.
[0079] As a specific example, Figure 2 The dotted line in the figure divides the first conductive layer into two parts, A1 and A2, and divides the second conductive layer into two parts, B1 and B2; after controlling the drive outputs corresponding to all conductive areas on the first conductive layer to be in a high impedance state, a first voltage can be applied to the B1 part on the second conductive layer , the B2 portion on the second conductive layer maintains a second voltage The content written at the corresponding position of the B2 part can be erased; in the next cycle, the first voltage is applied to the B2 part on the second conductive layer. , keep the second voltage applied to part B1 If the B1 portion is unchanged, the corresponding position of the B1 portion can be erased; in this way, all the contents on the entire liquid crystal writing device can be erased.
[0080] Figure 3 The specific process principle of realizing local erasure is given:
[0081] Reference Figure 3 , the upper and lower conductive layers of the entire liquid crystal writing device are equivalent to two equivalent capacitors C1 and C2; wherein, the equivalent capacitor C1 is formed by the A1 part of the first conductive layer and the B1 part of the second conductive layer; the equivalent capacitor C2 is formed by the A2 part of the first conductive layer and the B2 part of the second conductive layer; one electrode of the equivalent capacitors C1 and C2 are connected together because they belong to the same one or more conductive strips.
[0082] In this embodiment, the second voltage As the reference zero potential, .
[0083] First, a first voltage is applied to all conductive areas on the first conductive layer. , zero voltage is applied to all conductive areas on the second conductive layer, at this time: ;in, is the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C1, from top to bottom; is the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C2, from top to bottom. , so the written content on the LCD writing device cannot be erased.
[0084] Then, all the conductive areas on the first conductive layer are controlled to be in a high resistance state (Hiz), and all the conductive areas on the second conductive layer are still applied with zero voltage. At this time: ;in, is the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C1, from top to bottom; is the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C2, from top to bottom.
[0085] Next, a first voltage is applied to the conductive area of the B1 portion on the second conductive layer. , the conductive area of the B2 portion on the second conductive layer is still applied with zero voltage. At this time, the first voltage The voltage is divided by two equivalent capacitors C1 and C2, and the voltage on the equivalent capacitor C1 is: , the direction is from bottom to top; the voltage divided on the equivalent capacitor C2 is: , direction is from top to bottom.
[0086] Therefore, the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C1 is:
[0087] ;
[0088] The voltage across the equivalent capacitor C2 is:
[0089] ;
[0090] C1 and C2 are the capacitance values of two equivalent capacitors. Generally, the ratio of the equivalent capacitances C1 and C2 can be equivalently calculated using the areas of their corresponding conductive regions.
[0091] It can be seen that at this time, the electric field loaded on the second conductive layer B2 is larger than the original Has improved .
[0092] If the size of the B1 part and the B2 part on the second conductive layer are the same, then:
[0093] C1=C2;
[0094] ;
[0095] The erasing electric field at the position corresponding to the B2 part can be increased to 1.5 times of the original value to achieve erasing of the position corresponding to the B2 part. When erasing next time, after the drive outputs corresponding to all the conductive areas on the first conductive layer are in a high impedance state (Hiz), a first voltage can be applied to the conductive area of the B2 part on the second conductive layer. , the conductive area of the B1 part on the second conductive layer is still applied with zero voltage, so that the corresponding position of the B1 part can be erased, thereby achieving erasure of the entire surface of the liquid crystal writing device.
[0096] It should be noted that after all the conductive regions on the first conductive layer are controlled to be in a high resistance state (Hiz), a first voltage may be applied to the conductive region of the B1 portion on the second conductive layer. , that is, the time interval between these two processes can be very short.
[0097] certainly, Figure 2 The position of the dotted line can be adjusted, or the B1 part or the B2 part on the second conductive layer can be a non-adjacent conductive area, and the first voltage is applied to certain conductive areas on the second conductive layer by controlling , then the electric field at the corresponding position of the remaining conductive area on the second conductive layer can be improved, as long as the equivalent capacitance is reasonably selected. and equivalent capacitance The magnitude relationship between them makes the electric field loaded on the remaining conductive area of the conductive layer B satisfy: >V st , the corresponding position of the remaining conductive area of the conductive layer B can be erased.
[0098] It can be understood that the voltages applied to the conductive layer A and the conductive layer B are interchanged according to the set time rules, so that the direction of the electric field loaded on the liquid crystal in the erased area is reversed, that is, the electric field at both ends of the liquid crystal corresponding to the erased area is flipped to prevent the liquid crystal from being passivated.
[0099] It should be noted that the state of the liquid crystal writing device before or after the method of increasing the erasing voltage of the liquid crystal writing device given in this embodiment is not specifically limited and can be set according to actual needs. For example, after an erasing process is completed, if you want to continue writing, you need to perform a discharge process.
[0100] The method of this embodiment can realize erasing of the band-shaped area on the liquid crystal writing device. By erasing different band-shaped areas one by one, the entire liquid crystal writing device can be erased.
[0101] In some embodiments, although the driving voltage generated by the driving chip can achieve local erasure, the driving voltage value required to be output by the driving chip is relatively large, which increases the power consumption of the product. By adopting the method of increasing the erasure voltage of the liquid crystal writing device of this embodiment, the driving chip can generate a lower driving voltage, which can meet the needs of local erasure, reduce power consumption, and increase the service life of the product.
[0102] In other embodiments, if the upper limit of the driving voltage generated by the driver chip is , and the erasure start voltage of cholesteric liquid crystal becomes greater than , it is impossible to erase the written content according to the conventional local erasing method; by adopting the method of increasing the erasing voltage of the liquid crystal writing device of this embodiment, a higher erasing electric field can be formed, and the written content can be erased without changing the hardware structure, thereby increasing the service life of the product.
[0103] Embodiment 2
[0104] In one or more embodiments, a method for increasing the erasing voltage of a liquid crystal writing device is disclosed. The implementation process and principle of the method in this embodiment are exactly the same as those in the first embodiment, and the only difference is that the voltage applied to the first conductive layer and the voltage applied to the second conductive layer are swapped, that is:
[0105] A first voltage V1 is applied to all conductive regions on the second conductive layer, and a second voltage V2 is applied to all conductive regions on the first conductive layer; wherein, , V st is an erase start voltage of cholesteric liquid crystal, and the erase start voltage is a voltage that can cause some liquid crystal molecules to start changing from a planar state to a focal conic state;
[0106] Controlling the drive outputs corresponding to all the conductive areas on the second conductive layer to be in a high impedance state;
[0107] By keeping the second voltage V2 applied to the conductive area at the set position on the first conductive layer unchanged and applying the first voltage V1 to the remaining conductive areas on the first conductive layer, the electric field at the corresponding position of the conductive area on the first conductive layer to which the second voltage V2 is applied can be increased to a level greater than the erasure start voltage of the cholesteric liquid crystal, thereby achieving erasure of the written content at the corresponding position.
[0108] Embodiment 3
[0109] In one or more embodiments, a method for increasing the erasing voltage of a liquid crystal writing device is disclosed, wherein the structure of the liquid crystal writing device is the same as that in the first embodiment and will not be described in detail.
[0110] The specific process of the method for increasing the erasing voltage of the liquid crystal writing device in this embodiment is as follows:
[0111] (1) Combination Figure 4 The shaded parts on the two conductive layers are the positions corresponding to the target erasing areas; a first voltage is applied to the conductive area covered by the target erasing area on the first conductive layer. , applying voltage to other conductive areas on the first conductive layer ; Apply a second voltage to all conductive areas on the second conductive layer ;in, , , V stis an erasure start voltage of cholesteric liquid crystal, and the erasure start voltage is a voltage that can cause part of liquid crystal molecules to start changing from a planar state to a focal conic state.
[0112] At this time, the voltage difference at any position between the two conductive layers is less than the erase start voltage V of the liquid crystal. st , it is impossible to erase the written content on the liquid crystal writing device.

[0114] The above process also satisfies:
[0115] ;
[0116] ;
[0117] ;
[0118] ;
[0119] Among them, C4 is the equivalent capacitance between the upper and lower conductive layers at the coverage position of the target erase area, that is, Figure 4 C3 is the equivalent capacitance between the other regions (E2 and E3) except the target erasing region E1 in the conductive region E covered by the target erasing region on the first conductive layer and the corresponding regions on the second conductive layer, and are all constants not less than 0.
[0120] is the electric field corresponding to the target erasing area, and , and It is the electric field corresponding to other areas outside the target erasing area.
[0121] At this time, only the electric field corresponding to the target erasing area is greater than the erasing start voltage of the cholesteric liquid crystal, while the electric fields of other non-erasing areas are less than the erasing start voltage of the cholesteric liquid crystal, so that the target erasing area can be erased.
[0122] Figure 5 The specific process principle of realizing local erasure is given:
[0123] Reference Figure 5 , the upper and lower conductive layers of the liquid crystal writing device are equivalent to two equivalent capacitors C3 and C4; for the convenience of description, the second voltage As the reference zero potential, .
[0124] In this embodiment, the second voltage As a reference zero potential, a first voltage is first applied to the conductive area covered by the target erasing area on the first conductive layer. , applying voltage to other conductive areas on the first conductive layer ; Apply zero voltage to all conductive areas on the second conductive layer; At this time: ;in, is the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C3, from top to bottom; is the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C4, from top to bottom. The voltage difference between the other conductive areas on the first conductive layer except the conductive area E and the second conductive layer is .because and Both are lower than the erase start voltage of the liquid crystal , so the written content on the LCD writing device cannot be erased.
[0125] Then, the driving output corresponding to the conductive area E covered by the target erasing area on the first conductive layer is controlled to be in a high impedance state, and all the conductive areas on the second conductive layer are still applied with zero voltage. ,in, is the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C3, from top to bottom; is the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C4, from top to bottom.
[0126] Next, a third voltage is applied to the conductive area F covered by the target erasing area on the second conductive layer. , applying voltage to other conductive areas on the second conductive layer ( ), at this time, the voltage The voltage is divided by two equivalent capacitors C3 and C4, and the voltage on the equivalent capacitor C3 is: , the direction is from bottom to top; the voltage divided on the equivalent capacitor C4 is: , direction is from top to bottom.
[0127] It should be noted that the third voltage in this embodiment The second voltage can be The same value can also be taken at the second voltage Values that vary slightly around the value.
[0128] After controlling the driving output corresponding to the conductive area E covered by the target erasing area on the first conductive layer to be in a high impedance state, a third voltage may be applied to the conductive area F covered by the target erasing area on the second conductive layer. , applying voltage to other conductive areas on the second conductive layer ( ), that is, the time interval between these two processes can be very short.
[0129] Therefore, the voltage across the equivalent capacitor C3 is:
[0130] ;
[0131] The voltage across the equivalent capacitor C4 is:
[0132] ;
[0133] C3 and C4 are capacitance values of two equivalent capacitors. Generally, the ratio of the equivalent capacitances C3 and C4 can be equivalently calculated using the areas of their corresponding conductive regions.
[0134] That is, the voltage applied to the target erase area is changed from the original Increase to , greater than the erase start voltage of the liquid crystal , the target erasing area can be erased. The voltage difference between the conductive area E of the first conductive layer, except for the shaded area, and the second conductive layer is , which is less than the erase start voltage of the liquid crystal In addition, the voltage differences between the other conductive areas on the first conductive layer except the conductive area E and the second conductive layer are respectively and , are also smaller than the erase start voltage of the liquid crystal Therefore, the written content in other areas outside the target erasing area cannot be erased, achieving the effect of partial erasing.
[0135] As an optional implementation, the values of a and b in the above voltage may be selected as follows:
[0136] a∈[0,1]; b=1;
[0137] At this time, the voltage loaded on the target erasing area can be increased as much as possible, that is, the voltage of the target erasing area can be increased higher to achieve a better voltage increase effect.
[0138] As another optional implementation, the values of a and b in the above voltage may also be selected as follows:
[0139] a∈[0.5, 2.2]; b∈[2a-0.5, 2a+0.5];
[0140] At this time, the electric field in the target erasing area can be made greater than the electric field in the surrounding non-erasing area, thereby achieving a better local erasing effect.
[0141] As a more specific embodiment, the values of a and b further satisfy:
[0142] a∈[0.8,0.9]; b∈[1.6,1.8];
[0143] At this time, the electric field of the target erasing area can be made as large as possible as compared to the electric field of the surrounding non-erasing area, thereby achieving a better local erasing effect.
[0144] It can be understood that the voltages applied to the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer are interchanged according to the set time rules, so that the direction of the electric field loaded on the liquid crystal in the erased area is reversed, that is, the electric field at both ends of the liquid crystal corresponding to the erased area is flipped to prevent the liquid crystal from being passivated.
[0145] It should be noted that the state of the liquid crystal writing device before or after the method of increasing the erasing voltage of the liquid crystal writing device given in this embodiment is not specifically limited and can be set according to actual needs. For example, after an erasing process is completed, if you want to continue writing, you need to perform a discharge process.
[0146] The method of this embodiment can realize partial erasure of the target erasure area.
[0147] In some embodiments, although the driving voltage generated by the driving chip can achieve local erasure, the driving voltage value required to be output by the driving chip is relatively large, which increases the power consumption of the product. By adopting the method of increasing the erasure voltage of the liquid crystal writing device of this embodiment, the driving chip can generate a lower driving voltage, which can meet the needs of local erasure, reduce power consumption, and increase the service life of the product.
[0148] In other embodiments, if the upper limit of the driving voltage generated by the driver chip is , and the erasure start voltage of cholesteric liquid crystal becomes greater than , it is impossible to erase the written content according to the conventional local erasing method; by adopting the method of increasing the erasing voltage of the liquid crystal writing device of this embodiment, a higher erasing electric field can be formed, and local erasing of the written content can be achieved without changing the hardware structure, thereby improving the service life of the product.
