Technical Field

[0002] In the field of liquid crystal display technology, transmissive liquid crystal light valve products (LCD panels for short) are core components for information display. Their performance parameters, such as brightness, black state (i.e., the brightness at the lowest brightness or contrast ratio of 1), and contrast, directly determine the quality of the display effect and the breadth of application scenarios.
[0003] Brightness is a key indicator of the luminous intensity of an LCD panel, directly impacting picture brightness and visual experience. Black state refers to light leakage when the LCD panel is off. Contrast, the ratio of brightness between the brightest and darkest states, is a key parameter for measuring image clarity and color gradation in an LCD panel. Traditional measurement techniques, due to inaccuracies in brightness and black state measurements, lead to significant errors in contrast calculations, making it difficult to truly reflect the actual display quality of the LCD panel.

[0017] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the embodiments and drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0018] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows:
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip contrast measurement device calculates contrast parameters based on measured brightness and black state values. The device includes a laser 1, an adjustable polarizer 2, a PBS polarization beam splitter 3, a reflective silicon wafer 4, an electrical measuring machine, a transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip to be measured 6, and an illuminometer 8. The laser 1 is used to emit a laser beam, and the adjustable polarizer 2 is used to control the polarization state of the light. The laser 1 and the PBS polarization beam splitter 3 are positioned opposite each other, with the adjustable polarizer 2 positioned between the laser 1 and the PBS polarization beam splitter 3. The device precisely controls the polarization state of the laser beam. By adjusting and rotating the polarizer, the light direction and brightness are changed, allowing the light source to be adjusted to the darkest or brightest position, accurately measuring brightness and black state values. This ensures that the laser beam emitted by the laser 1 accurately impinges on the PBS polarization beam splitter 3. The PBS polarization beam splitter 3 splits the incident laser beam into a reflection direction and a transmission direction. The reflective silicon wafer 4 is located in the reflection direction of the PBS polarization beam splitter 3. After the laser beam is incident on the PBS polarization beam splitter 3, it is reflected by the reflective silicon wafer 4. The high reflectivity of the reflective silicon wafer 4 ensures that the laser beam is transmitted to the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 under test. The transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 under test is located in the reflection direction of the reflective silicon wafer 4 and receives the laser beam reflected by the reflective silicon wafer 4. The electro-testing machine electrodes 7 are respectively connected to the circuits at the COM terminal and the SEG PAD terminal of the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 under test. The positive electrode of the electro-testing machine is clamped to the circuit at the COM terminal of the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 under test, and the negative electrode of the electro-testing machine is clamped to the circuit at the SEG PAD terminal of the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 under test, ensuring a stable connection of the measurement circuit. The electro-testing machine can simulate different operating conditions by adjusting the frequency and amplitude of the alternating current, thereby evaluating the performance of the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 under different conditions. After the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 under test receives the laser beam, the electrical tester applies alternating current of a specific frequency to the chip, causing the liquid crystal molecules within the chip to undergo periodic changes. This causes the chip to transmit a periodically varying light source. This light source passes through the PBS polarizing beam splitter 3 and is then irradiated onto the probe of an illuminator 8. An adjustable iris 7 is positioned between the PBS polarizing beam splitter 3 and the illuminator 8 to adjust the angle of illumination. Adjusting the adjustable iris 7 allows the light source to accurately illuminate the illuminator 8. The illuminator 8 receives and measures the light transmitted through the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 under test. This allows the brightness and black state values to be read on the illuminator 8, and the contrast ratio is then derived based on these values.
[0020] In an embodiment of the present invention, the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip contrast measurement device is provided on a support platform, on which a bracket (not shown) is placed. The bracket is a conventional existing fixed bracket and will not be described in detail here. The specific structure can be designed according to actual use and can be used to fix the device. The bracket is used to fix the laser 1, the adjustable polarizer 2, the PBS polarization beam splitter 3, the reflective silicon wafer 4, the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip to be measured 6, the illuminometer 8, the electric measuring machine, and the adjustable iris 7, ensuring that all components remain stable during operation and preventing shaking from affecting the measurement results. Furthermore, the measuring device is also provided with an adjustment orifice plate (not shown in the figure), the specific structure of which can be designed according to actual use. The adjustment orifice plate is adjustably connected to the bracket and is used to adjust the relative positions of the laser 1, the adjustable polarizer 2, the PBS polarization beam splitter 3, the reflective silicon wafer 4, the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip to be measured 6, the illuminometer 8, the electric measuring machine, and the adjustable iris 7 on the bracket. Specifically, the brackets are removably mounted on the adjustment plate with screws. Users can adjust the number of holes between the brackets based on product specifications or actual needs, enabling precise fine-tuning of the position of each component. This measurement device is highly versatile and adaptable, meeting the contrast parameter measurement requirements of transmissive liquid crystal light valve chips 6 of varying sizes, shapes, and structures.
[0021] In the embodiment of the present invention, the illuminometer 8 is a CL-200A illuminometer 8 .
[0022] The operating principle of the present invention is as follows: the laser beam emitted by a laser 1 first undergoes polarization conversion through an adjustable polarizer 2 and then is directed to a PBS polarizing beam splitter 3. The PBS polarizing beam splitter 3 reflects the laser beam onto a reflective silicon wafer 4, which in turn reflects the light source to a transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 to be tested. After receiving the light, the chip is energized by an electric measuring machine, which applies an alternating current of a specific frequency to the transmissive liquid crystal light valve chip 6 to be tested. This causes the chip 6 to transmit a light source with a certain periodic variation. This light source passes through the PBS polarizing beam splitter 3, is adjusted by an adjustable aperture 7, and then directly illuminates the probe of an illuminance meter 8. The corresponding brightness and black state values are then read and displayed on the illuminance meter 8, thereby deriving the contrast parameter based on the measured brightness and black state values.
[0023] The measuring device of the present application can be widely used in the field of measuring the panel brightness, black state and contrast parameters of the transmissive liquid crystal light valve product series. The measuring device is low-cost, easy to operate, and has high measurement efficiency, and the measured contrast parameters are highly accurate.
[0024] The above-described embodiments merely represent implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
