Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of depolarizing films, and specifically, to a depolarizing film based on liquid crystal materials and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A depolarizing film is a functional optical film that realizes the conversion of polarized light to unpolarized light by regulating the polarization state distribution, and its core principle is based on the spatial / frequency domain modulation of the phase or polarization direction of incident light. With the increasing demand for refined polarization control in fields such as display technology, laser processing, and spectral detection, it can be used to suppress polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), suppress sample birefringence interference in optical coherence tomography (OCT), improve the diffraction efficiency of holographic display devices by integrating a depolarizing layer through a spatial light modulator, suppress the polarization noise of a magneto-optical trap by depolarization in a cold atom interferometer, and realize the output of quasi-natural light by integrating a depolarizing film on the surface of a display, etc.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream depolarizing devices can be divided into two categories: traditional crystal types and liquid crystal phase types. The traditional crystal types are represented by the Lyot type and the quartz optical rotation type. The liquid crystal phase type depolarizer has become an emerging direction with its flexible film form and large-area applicability. Its core principle is to achieve spatial depolarization through the random distribution of the optical axis angle or the phase retardation amount (such as segmented regions, multi-domain orientation). The liquid crystal phase type depolarizer has significant advantages in terms of flexibility potential, but it needs to overcome process bottlenecks. Japanese Patent Application JP2008226405A and Chinese Patent Application CN116400529A propose to use a random segmentation region design of the optical axis angle or thickness difference, but it requires multiple exposure processes and upper and lower substrate encapsulation, with complex processes and difficult mass production; US Patent US10585223B2 proposes an improved solution: using an isotropic / anisotropic hybrid region design, where the anisotropic region rotates polarized light and the isotropic region retains the original state, and simplifies the structure through the "pre-curing - local curing - heating - full curing" process. However, this process depends on step-by-step curing and heating, cannot be compatible with roll-to-roll continuous production, and the manufacturing cost is still high. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a depolarizing film based on liquid crystal materials. The depolarizing film is composed of at least two optically anisotropic regions, including Region 1 and Region 2; the average inclination angle of the liquid crystal layer in Region 1 with respect to the horizontal plane is <9°, the optical axis directions of the liquid crystal layers in Region 1 are the same, and the phase retardation R 0 value of the liquid crystal layer in Region 1 is 200 - 350 nm; the average inclination angle of the liquid crystal layer in Region 2 with respect to the horizontal plane is >81°, the optical axis directions of the liquid crystal layers in Region 2 are the same, and the phase retardation R 0 value of the liquid crystal layer in Region 2 is <50 nm.

[0005] The phase retardation R of the liquid crystal layer in Region 1 0 has a value of 230 - 310 nm; the phase retardation R of the liquid crystal layer in Region 2 0 has a value of < 30 nm.

[0006] The average inclination angle of the liquid crystal layer in Region 2 with respect to the horizontal plane > 85°.

[0007] The length and width dimensions of the liquid crystal layer cells in Region 1 < 80 μm.

[0008] Optionally, the length and width dimensions of the liquid crystal layer cells in Region 1 < 50 μm.

[0009] The ratio of the total area of Region 1 to Region 2 is 0.9 - 1.1.

[0010] The angle of the optical axis is ±45°.

[0011] It is found in this application that the average inclination angle of the liquid crystal molecules in Region 1 with respect to the horizontal plane < 9°, and by controlling the liquid crystal layer thickness d, the phase retardation R of the liquid crystal layer in Region 1 0 has a value of 200 - 350 nm, that is, close to 1 / 2 of the visible light wavelength, and can effectively rotate the transmitted linearly polarized light by 90°. At the same time, the liquid crystal molecules in Region 1 have the same optical axis angle, and with respect to the transmission direction of the external linearly polarized light, the optical axis angle ψ = ±45°.

[0012] Correspondingly, the average inclination angle of the liquid crystal molecules in Region 2 with respect to the horizontal plane > 81°. Under the condition of satisfying the same liquid crystal layer thickness d as in Region 1, the phase retardation R of the liquid crystal layer in Region 2 0 has a value < 50 nm, and Region 2 has only a slight influence on the external linearly polarized light.

[0013] It is found in this application that the ratio of the total area of Region 1 to Region 2 is 0.9 - 1.1. Under such conditions, the intensities of the linearly polarized light that has undergone a deflection of about 90° and the linearly polarized light that has not undergone deflection are almost equivalent, and in the overall effective area of light incidence, it becomes a substantially random polarization state. Macroscopically observed, the two cancel each other out to form a depolarization effect. The photo-alignment layer is used to form Region 1 and Region 2. By specific exposure energy, Region 1 and Region 2 have different orientation forces, inducing the inclination angle of the liquid crystal composition in Region 1 < 9° and in Region 2 > 81°.
