Furthermore, the use of “about,” “approximately,” or “substantially” herein may be chosen based on the optical, etched, or other properties to select a more acceptable range of deviations or standard deviations, and may not require a single standard deviation to apply to all properties.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. It will be further understood that terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having the same meaning as they have in the context of the relevant technology and the invention, and will not be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning unless expressly defined herein.

[0032] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to... Figure 1 The display device 100 includes at least one display panel 110. The display panel 110 may include a pixel driving circuit board 112, a counter board 114, and a display medium 116 disposed between the pixel driving circuit board 112 and the counter board 114.

[0033] For example, in some embodiments, the display medium 116 may include a plurality of light-emitting elements (not shown) electrically connected to a plurality of pixel driving circuits (not shown) on the pixel driving circuit substrate 112. In some embodiments, the light-emitting elements are, for example, micro light-emitting diodes or organic light-emitting diodes, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the display medium 116 may include a liquid crystal layer, and an upper polarizer and a lower polarizer may be respectively attached to the pixel driving circuit substrate 112 and the opposing substrate 114, and a backlight module (not shown) may also be provided behind the display panel 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 The display device 100 also includes a cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 disposed on at least one display panel 110. The cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 is disposed outside the display panel 110. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the opposing substrate 114 of the display panel 110 is located between the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 and the display medium 116.

[0035] Figure 3 This is a schematic cross-sectional view of a cholesterol liquid crystal layer according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3The arrangement of the plurality of cholesterol liquid crystal molecules 120a in the cholesterol liquid crystal layer 120 is always fixed. For example, in some embodiments, the cholesterol liquid crystal layer 120 can be fabricated using the following method: first, an alignment layer is formed on a substrate; then, a mixture of cholesterol liquid crystal and polymerizable monomers is coated onto the alignment layer; finally, the polymerizable monomers are polymerized by heating or irradiation to combine the cholesterol liquid crystal molecules with polymer chains to form a fixed three-dimensional structure, thereby keeping the arrangement of the plurality of cholesterol liquid crystal molecules 120a always fixed.

[0036] Figure 4 The reflectance spectrum of a cholesterol liquid crystal layer according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 can reflect a specific wavelength range. For example, in some embodiments, the main reflection wavelength range of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 can fall within 525nm to 575nm, including natural light L of various wavelengths. The reflected light beam L2 reflected by the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 can be green. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the color of the reflected light beam L2 can be adjusted according to actual needs. In other embodiments, the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 can also reflect light beams of other colors.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 The display device 100 further includes a light-transmitting ink layer 130 disposed on a cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120, wherein the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 is located between the light-transmitting ink layer 130 and at least one display panel 110. The light-transmitting ink layer 130 allows some light to pass through and reflects some light. For example, in some embodiments, the transmittance of the light-transmitting ink layer 130 may fall within the range of 20% to 90%, and the reflectance of the light-transmitting ink layer 130 may fall within the range of 1% to 30%, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0038] Figure 5 The reflection spectrum of a light-transmitting ink layer according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the main reflection wavelength range of the light-transmitting ink layer 130 can fall within 425nm~575nm, including natural light L of various wavelengths reflected by the light-transmitting ink layer 130, the reflected light beam L1 is generally yellow-green. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the color of the reflected light beam L1 can be adjusted according to actual needs. In other embodiments, the light-transmitting ink layer 130 may also reflect light beams of other colors.

[0039] In some embodiments, a portion of natural light L passing through the translucent ink layer 130 and the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 is transmitted to the display panel 110, which may be completely black and almost non-reflective. The decorative structure DS includes the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 and the translucent ink layer 130. The decorative structure DS is disposed on the display panel 110. The cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 and the translucent ink layer 130 have their respective reflection wavelength ranges. According to the additive color mixing principle, the reflected light beam L1 reflected by the translucent ink layer 130 and the reflected light beam L2 reflected by the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 can be superimposed, thereby achieving decorative effects with various colors and / or images.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that in the special design of the decorative structure DS, the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 serves as the base color layer and the light-transmitting ink layer 130 serves as the main color layer. With the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 as the base color layer, the reflective color of the light-transmitting ink layer 130 can be accurately displayed, achieving a good decorative effect. In addition, through the special design of the decorative structure DS, the display device 100 can also simultaneously possess high reflective contrast and high transmittance, so that when the display panel 110 is not displayed, the decorative pattern of the decorative structure DS blends into the environment, and when the display panel 110 is displayed, the displayed image maintains high brightness and high clarity.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 The cholesterol liquid crystal layer 120 has a pitch p and a film thickness d. The following table lists the pitch of the cholesterol liquid crystal layer 120. The table below shows the maximum reflectivity and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 corresponding to various d / p design values. As can be seen from the data in Table 1, different d / p design values ​​can achieve different reflectivities and different FWHMs of the reflection spectrum, thus creating different background colors. A wider color space can be achieved by combining cholesteric liquid crystal layers 120 with various background colors and transparent ink layers 130. Specifically, by adjusting the ratio (d / p) of the film thickness d to the helix pitch p of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120, even under the condition of a fixed helix pitch p and the same center wavelength of reflected light, the reflectivity and FWHM of the reflection spectrum can still be effectively changed. A higher d / p ratio results in more helical structure periods within the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120, enhancing the Bragg reflection effect and thus increasing the reflectivity of selectively reflected light, resulting in higher brightness and color saturation of the background color; conversely, a lower reflectivity increases the background light component, leading to a darker or softer background color. Furthermore, variations in the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the reflection spectrum also affect the color purity of the background color. A narrower FWHM concentrates reflected light into a single wavelength band, resulting in a purer and more defined hue, while a wider FWHM causes simultaneous reflection of multiple wavelengths, leading to a mixed color effect with lower purity. Therefore, by combining different d / p design values, various background color representations with varying brightness, saturation, and color purity can be created while maintaining the same center wavelength. Table 2 below summarizes the various factors of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120, along with their corresponding descriptions and visual effects.

The display panel 110 can be completely black and almost non-reflective. The main reflection wavelength range (400nm~450nm) of the light-transmitting ink layer 130A is very different from the main reflection wavelength range (525nm~575nm) of the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120. The color of the reflected light beam L1 reflected by the light-transmitting ink layer 130A (e.g., red) and the color of the reflected light beam L2 reflected by the cholesteric liquid crystal layer 120 (e.g., green) are also different. The reflected light beam L1 and the reflected light beam L2 can be mixed to produce another color (e.g., yellow).
