Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a display component, more specifically, to a display component with a built-in light sensing function. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, wearable devices such as bracelets / watches are becoming more and more common. The functions integrated in the products are also increasing. Most of the watches / bracelets on the market are equipped with light-sensing driver chips to adjust the brightness of the watch display in real time according to the ambient light, further saving the power consumption of the whole machine. The conventional design scheme of the display module that adaptively adjusts the screen brightness on the market is as follows: 1. First, SMT the light-sensing components on the FPC; 2. After folding the FPC, fix the light-sensing components on the back of the display module with double-sided tape to expose the light-sensing area of ​​the light-sensing components. The disadvantage of this design is that it requires the addition of special light-sensing components and SMT processes, which is costly. Moreover, the package of this light-sensing component itself is usually large and the component thickness is high. For example, the light-sensing component LTR-308ALS-WA has a height of 650um. The stacking thickness is too large.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent document CN201174228Y discloses a display capable of automatically adjusting brightness and color temperature, comprising a display and a CPU arranged on a display mainboard, and characterized in that it also comprises a photosensitive element and a temperature sensor, wherein the photosensitive element and the temperature sensor are arranged on a surface of the display, and output ends of the photosensitive element and the temperature sensor are respectively connected to the CPU arranged on the display mainboard.

[0004] Obviously, the display in this patent can automatically adjust the brightness and color temperature of the display screen according to the surrounding brightness and temperature, so that the contrast between the display and the surrounding environment to the user's visual perception is dynamically reduced. However, this structure still has the problem of excessive stacking thickness. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a display component with an embedded light sensing function for the above technical problems. The display component with an embedded light sensing function includes a display screen body and a display screen FPC. The display screen body is connected to the display screen FPC through a TP FPC. A film-shaped photoreceptor is provided on the upper surface of the display screen body. A display screen body FPC binding position is provided on the display screen body, and the display screen body FPC binding position is bound to the display screen FPC through an ACF. The photoreceptor includes a display screen glass substrate. A transparent front electrode is provided on the upper surface of the display screen glass substrate. An amorphous silicon layer is provided on the upper surface of the transparent front electrode. A metal electrode layer is provided on the upper surface of the amorphous silicon layer. A protective layer is provided on the upper surface of the metal electrode layer. The film-shaped photoreceptor directly converts light into electrical energy by making a photovoltaic layer on the surface of the display screen glass substrate and utilizing the photoelectric effect. When the photoreceptor is exposed to light, hole-electron pairs are excited. Under the action of the internal electric field, the electrons and holes are respectively led out and connected to the circuit to generate current. Under different ambient light conditions, the photoreceptor will generate currents of different magnitudes. The change in ambient light brightness is positively correlated with the change in current generated by the photoreceptor. Therefore, the main control chip can calculate the change in external ambient light by monitoring the change in current value, and finally adjust the brightness of the display screen to match the ambient light. The photoreceptor is embedded in the display body, which effectively reduces costs and optimizes the stacking thickness. It is particularly suitable for wearable products by taking advantage of the thinness of the product.

[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the utility model, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] As described in the background technology, for wearable devices, with the improvement of living standards, wearable devices such as bracelets / watches are becoming more and more common. The functions integrated in the products are also increasing. Most of the watch / bracelet machines on the market are equipped with light-sensing driver chips to adjust the brightness of the watch display screen in real time according to the ambient light, further saving the power consumption of the whole machine. The conventional design scheme of the display module that adaptively adjusts the screen brightness on the market is as follows: 1. First, SMT the light-sensing components on the FPC; 2. After the FPC is folded back, the light-sensing components are fixed on the back of the display module through double-sided tape to expose the light-sensing area of ​​the light-sensing components. The disadvantage of this design is that it is necessary to add special light-sensing components and SMT processes, which is costly. Moreover, the package of this light-sensing component itself is usually large and the component thickness is high. For example, the light-sensing component LTR-308ALS-WA has a height of 650um. The stacking thickness is too large.

[0029] In order to solve this technical problem, the utility model provides a display component with an embedded light sensing function, comprising a display screen body 1 and a display screen FPC4, wherein the display screen body 1 is connected to the display screen FPC4 via a TP FPC3, and a film-shaped photoreceptor 2 is provided on the upper surface of the display screen body 1. A display screen body FPC binding position 11 is provided on the display screen body 1, and the display screen body FPC binding position 11 is bound to the display screen FPC4 via an ACF. The photoreceptor 2 comprises a display screen glass substrate 21, wherein a transparent front electrode 22 is provided on the upper surface of the display screen glass substrate 21, wherein an amorphous silicon layer 23 is provided on the upper surface of the transparent front electrode 22, wherein a metal electrode layer 24 is provided on the upper surface of the amorphous silicon layer 23, and a protective layer 25 is provided on the upper surface of the metal electrode layer 24.

[0030] Through the above structural design, the film-shaped photoreceptor 2 directly converts light into electrical energy by making a photovoltaic layer on the surface of the display glass substrate 21, using the photoelectric effect. When the photoreceptor 2 is exposed to light, hole-electron pairs are excited. Under the action of the internal electric field, the electrons and holes are respectively led out and connected to the circuit to generate current. Under different ambient light, the photoreceptor 2 will generate currents of different sizes. The change in ambient light brightness is positively correlated with the change in current generated by the photoreceptor 2. Therefore, the main control chip can calculate the change in external ambient light by monitoring the change in current value, and finally adjust the brightness of the display screen to match the ambient light. The photoreceptor 2 is embedded in the display body 1, which effectively reduces the cost and optimizes the stacking thickness. It is particularly suitable for wearable products by taking advantage of the thinness of the product.
