Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of design and development of liquid crystal displays, in particular to a liquid crystal color filter and a liquid crystal screen assembly using the filter. Background Art

[0002] Liquid crystal display devices have the characteristics of high technical maturity and high reliability, and are still widely used in special display industries such as automotive and medical. The LCD screen itself does not emit light and needs a backlight to provide illumination. The light passes through the red, green, and blue resistance on the color filter in each sub-pixel area to form the three primary colors of red, green, and blue, and the mixed colors form other colors. Therefore, the color resistance characteristics of the backlight and the LCD color filter will greatly affect the display effect of the display.

[0003] Local dimming, also known as dynamic backlighting, is a technology that enhances contrast by adjusting the backlight brightness of different areas of the screen. Local dimming technology divides the backlight of the LCD display into multiple small areas and controls the brightness of different areas according to the image content. For example, lowering the backlight brightness in a dark background can improve contrast and reduce power consumption. The effect depends on the partition size and the number of partitions. The smaller the partition and the more partitions there are, the better the dimming effect. At the same time, due to the existence of the LED light emission angle, reducing the distance from the LED to the display can effectively improve the halo problem.

[0004] In some special display fields, observers need to wear night vision goggles. At this time, the light emitted by the display device needs to be compatible with the night vision goggles and cannot interfere with the normal response of the night vision goggles. That is, the display device needs to meet the night vision compatibility requirements. Under the night vision compatibility requirements, LCDs generally use two backlight systems as backlight sources. One is a conventional LED that radiates a full-band spectrum from 380nm to 780nm as a backlight source to provide backlight for the LCD during normal display. The other is a color LED that filters the spectrum after 630nm as a backlight source to provide backlight that avoids the night vision goggles' response light band when the LCD is used under night vision compatibility.

[0005] When applying local dimming technology under night vision compatibility requirements, if two backlight systems are used to achieve night vision compatibility, colored LEDs need to be interspersed in the backlight board full of LEDs. In this way, the number of LEDs arranged on the backlight board with limited size is limited, making the partition size larger and the number smaller. At the same time, in order to avoid uneven intervals of light and dark, the distance between the LCD screen and the LED needs to be increased, which will further expand the halo and affect the effect of local dimming.

[0006] Therefore, if the use of a second set of color LED backlight sources can be avoided in display devices that use local dimming technology, the LED spacing can be effectively reduced, the partitions can be reduced, the number of partitions can be increased, the distance between the LCD screen and the LED can be reduced, and the halo can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the display effect of local dimming. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a liquid crystal color filter and a liquid crystal screen assembly using the filter. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0008] A liquid crystal color filter comprises a filter body, wherein a first color resistor, a second color resistor, a third color resistor and a fourth color resistor are arranged in sequence along the filter body;

[0013] The first color resist, the second color resist, the third color resist and the fourth color resist are of the same size and arranged at the same intervals.

[0014] The first color resist, the second color resist, the third color resist and the fourth color resist are made of spectrally absorbing materials or are optically coated on the surface.

[0015] A liquid crystal screen assembly adopts the liquid crystal color filter and also includes a brightness enhancement film, a quantum dot film, an LED and a substrate which are sequentially distributed below the liquid crystal color filter.

[0016] The brightness enhancement film has a thickness of 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm, and the brightness enhancement film includes a brightness enhancement film and a polarization brightness enhancement film.

[0017] The quantum dot film has a thickness of 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be explained more clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments. Of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the present invention but not all of it. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, a liquid crystal color filter comprises a filter body 1, wherein the filter body 1 is provided with a first color resist 2, a second color resist 3, a third color resist 4 and a fourth color resist 5 which are sequentially arranged along the filter body 1;

R, G, and B are conventional red, green, and blue resistances. When the LCD screen works in normal mode, the sub-pixels corresponding to R, G, and B work to display the picture; when working in night vision compatible mode, the sub-pixels corresponding to O, G, and B work to reduce the radiation in the band after 630nm, so that the radiant brightness meets the night vision compatible requirements, and the spectrum of the band after 630nm is filtered by the application of orange resistance.
