Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the display field, and more particularly to a diffusion-free plate-type laminating film for a liquid crystal display. Background Art

[0002] With the popularization of TFT-LCD liquid crystal display technology, the demand for its backlight module and related optical films is also increasing. The previously used diffusion plate, 90-degree light enhancement, 0-degree light enhancement, and three-film structure are gradually replaced by two or even one multi-layer composite film. With the increasing size, the stiffness requirements are getting higher, the products are getting thinner, and the assembly line has become more and more simple for film assembly. DOP+DP (diffusion film lamination light enhancement + diffusion plate), POP+DP (light enhancement lamination light enhancement + diffusion plate), P+P+DP (light enhancement + light enhancement + diffusion plate) have appeared. In addition to providing light diffusion effect, the diffusion plate also serves as a rigid structure to support the film.

[0003] Among them, the material cost and assembly cost of the diffuser itself account for a large proportion of the entire backlight module. The existence of the diffuser increases the overall thickness of the structure. In addition, the diaphragm needs to be cut before it can be assembled and used. An extra layer of diaphragm requires one more cutting and one more packaging cost. For large-size display screens, the larger the diffuser, the more cost and thickness it brings. This not only increases the material cost, but also increases the labor cost of assembling the diaphragm. In addition, due to multiple packaging, transportation and assembly, the product is prone to scratches, foreign matter and other defects, which leads to a decrease in production and assembly yield, and ultimately leads to high costs. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention overcomes the deficiency of existing optical films and backlight modules that rely on diffusion plates, and provides a diffusion-free plate-type laminating film for liquid crystal displays, which can achieve the effects of reducing costs and thickness.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A diffusion-free plate-type laminating film for a liquid crystal display comprises a first structural layer film, a second structural layer film, a third structural layer film and a fourth structural layer film arranged in sequence from top to bottom; The first structural layer film comprises a first structural layer film portion base film and a first structural layer film micro-convex structural layer arranged on the upper surface of the first structural layer film portion base film, wherein the first structural layer film micro-convex structural layer comprises a plurality of PBMA or PMMA micro beads; The second structural layer film comprises a second structural layer film portion base film and a second structural layer film portion prism layer arranged on an upper surface of the second structural layer film portion base film, wherein the second structural layer film portion prism layer is formed by a plurality of second structural layer film portion prisms being continuously arranged; The third structural layer film comprises a third structural layer film portion base film and a third structural layer film portion prism layer arranged on the upper surface of the third structural layer film portion base film, wherein the third structural layer film portion prism layer is formed by a plurality of third structural layer film portion prisms arranged continuously; The fourth structural layer film comprises a fourth structural layer film base film and a fourth structural layer film base film prism layer arranged on the upper surface of the fourth structural layer film base film, and the fourth structural layer film portion prism layer is formed by a plurality of fourth structural layer film portion prisms arranged continuously; A composite adhesive layer is provided at the bottom of the first structural layer film, the second structural layer film and the third structural layer film, a back coating layer is provided at the bottom of the fourth structural layer film, PBMA or PMMA microbeads are provided in the back coating layer and the composite adhesive layer, the composite adhesive layer bonds adjacent structural layer films, and the back coating layer at the bottom of the fourth structural layer film is connected to the panel glass.

[0006] The fourth structural layer of the present invention can function as a diffusion plate and an existing light-enhancing layer, the second structural layer and the third structural layer can function as light-enhancing layers, and the first structural layer can improve the rigidity of the present invention and further diffuse the light. Thus, a multi-layered film replaces the existing structure of assembling a diffusion plate with multiple films. The present invention eliminates the need for a diffusion plate, thereby reducing the thickness of the product, and the rigidity can meet the requirements.

[0007] A composite adhesive layer is arranged between each structural layer film, a back coating is provided on the back of the fourth structural layer film, and PBMA or PMMA microbeads are added to the composite adhesive layer and the back coating layer, and the PBMA or PMMA microbeads are used to improve the diffusion effect and the haze.

[0008] This laminating film eliminates the need for a diffusion plate and is directly laminated to the OC (opencell, liquid crystal panel), which can reduce raw material costs and process costs, and reduce the thickness of the final module.

[0009] Preferably, the cross section of the fourth structural layer film portion prism along the length direction of the fourth structural layer film base film is an isosceles right triangle, and the axial direction of the fourth structural layer film portion prism and the width direction of the fourth structural layer film base film are provided with an angle, and the angle of the angle is , the spacing between adjacent fourth structural layer film prisms is 200-220um, the bottom width of the fourth structural layer film prism is 80um, the height is 40um, and the vertex angle is between 88°-90°. By setting the turning angle, the axis of the fourth structural layer film prism and the second structural layer film prism and the third structural layer film prism have an angle, which can effectively reduce the risk of interference between the upper and lower prisms. While improving the brightness, it can also improve the shielding of the product.

[0010] As a preference, . This value is the preferred value.

[0016] Preferably, the height of the micro-convex structure layer of the first structure layer film is between 5-10 um.

The thickness of the first structure layer membrane base film, the second structure layer membrane base film, the third structure layer membrane base film and the fourth structure layer membrane base film is thicker than the corresponding film in the module with a diffuser plate, but by reducing the diffuser plate, the total thickness is finally reduced.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: ensuring brightness and shielding, while reducing costs and manual assembly costs during subsequent use (the existing multi-layer film structure requires multiple assembly by personnel; while the film of the present technical solution only needs to be assembled once); there is no diffusion plate, the thickness is thin, and the thickness can be reduced by 29% compared with the structure requiring a diffusion plate; the production cost of the bonding film for the liquid crystal display of the present invention is about 20% lower than the material cost of the existing structure requiring a diffusion plate; at the same time, the assembly cost of the terminal manufacturer is greatly reduced; the finished product packaging and transportation costs of the present technical solution are also reduced compared with the existing method.
