Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a polarizer, in particular to a circular polarizer for a streaming media screen of a vehicle-mounted rearview mirror. Background Technique

[0002] Most of the vehicle-mounted display screens are in the IPS display mode. The upper polarizer is designed with angles of 90 degrees or 0 degrees in the horizontal screen respectively, and very few parts are OLED screens with the polarizer designed at 45 or 135°. When driving, there are many scenarios where polarized sunglasses are used, especially in the driver's seat. The absorption axis direction of the polarized sunglasses is 90 degrees in the vertical (horizontal screen) direction. In the above three angle situations, when observed from the front view, in the horizontal screen of 0 degrees, a black state will occur, and the darkness decreases significantly at 45 or 135°. Although the horizontal screen of 90 degrees can be seen clearly, when observed at an oblique angle, there will also be a significant decrease in darkness. For this reason, one layer of the protective layer on the upper polarizer is replaced or a 1 / 4 wave plate is externally attached, forming an angle of 45° or 135° with the absorption axis of the polarizer. The outgoing light is circularly polarized light. At this time, the sunglasses can be viewed at any angle, but when the screen is deflected, there will be a color difference situation. For example, the viewing angles of the left and right rearview mirror streaming media screens for the driving position are about 15 degrees and 75°, so when designing and developing the screen, the problem of the polarizer angle needs to be fully considered.

[0003] Currently, for vehicle-mounted display screens, when dealing with polarized sunglasses, there may be a situation of brightness decrease. One layer of the protective layer on the upper polarizer is replaced or a 1 / 4 wave plate is externally attached, forming an angle of 45° or 135° with the absorption axis of the polarizer. The outgoing light is circularly polarized light. At this time, the polarized sunglasses can be viewed at any angle and the brightness decrease is not obvious, but when the screen is deflected, such as the viewing angles of the left and right rearview mirror streaming media screens for the driving position are about 15 degrees and 75°, there will be a color difference situation.

[0004] In summary, compared with vehicle-mounted entertainment screens, the electronic rearview mirror streaming media screen involves safety factors, that is, the screen needs to highly restore the actual situation of things behind the vehicle. When it is required to be used with polarized sunglasses, the screen should present low color difference and high contrast. For polarized sunglasses, it also needs to meet the requirements of low color difference and high contrast, but the existing polarizers cannot meet the requirements. Summary of the Utility Model

Further, the thickness of the adhesive layer is 10 nm to 240 μm.
