Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of automotive interior parts, in particular to a manufacturing method of a light-emitting interior part with transparent display function. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the intelligentization and personalization needs of automobiles, the design of automotive interiors gradually develops from single functionality to multifunctional integration. Currently, the automotive interior lighting and display system usually adopts a separate design, with the lighting function mostly using traditional LED light strips, and the information display relying on independent display screens. This design not only occupies a large space, but also lacks overall aesthetic appeal.

[0003] In the field of transparent display technology, transparent organic light-emitting display (TOLED) has been applied as a new technology. In May 2012, the German company Loewe first applied it to the "Loewe Invisio" invisible television product. The OLED transparent screen can achieve high transparency due to its structure advantage of no backlight layer, but its application in the field of automotive interiors still faces many challenges.

[0004] In the prior art, Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. has obtained a patent named "a crystal light-emitting interior part" (authorized announcement number CN222937666U). This technology includes interior outer plate, light-transmitting diaphragm, light-uniforming plate, light-converging plate, and circuit board with lamp beads, etc. components, which can realize the crystal light effect. However, this technical solution is limited to providing decorative lighting effect, lacks information display function, and cannot meet the needs of modern intelligent automobiles for interactive information display.

[0005] Traditional LED display screens rely on an array of light-emitting diodes as a light source, and achieve uniform illumination through a backlight module or a side-in type light guide plate. Even if advanced packaging technologies such as Mini / Micro LED are used, the display logic still belongs to "addition operation", which modulates light through a liquid crystal layer or a color filter. This architecture sacrifices part of the transparency, making it difficult to achieve high transparency and high-quality display effect at the same time. In addition, existing light-emitting interior parts usually cannot dynamically adjust the display content and brightness according to the ambient light and user needs, resulting in poor visibility under different lighting conditions.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new interior part technology that can organically combine transparent display function with light-emitting decorative effect, to solve the problems of separation of display and lighting function, difficulty in balancing transparency and display quality, and lack of intelligent interaction capability in the prior art.
