Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display technology, specifically a new type of ship porthole based on a transparent screen. Background Technology
[0002] Transparent display, as a novel display technology, functions as a display screen when in use, capable of displaying various images, and as transparent glass when not in use, combining the functions of both. This characteristic makes transparent display promising for development in industries such as industry, commerce, medicine, transportation, and education. Currently, transparent displays include OLED transparent screens, LCD transparent screens, and LED transparent screens. Among them, OLED transparent screens are the most widely used and represent the most mature transparent display technology at present due to their advantages such as high contrast, wide color gamut, and thinness. OLED transparent screens are organic light-emitting screens that require transparent OLED display devices to form the OLED substrate, with transparent electrode materials. When the device is off, the light transmittance reaches over 85%. When it is on, light can be observed from both sides. The key to OLED transparent screens lies in the use of transparent electrodes and organic thin films, which have low resistance and high light transmittance. In addition, OLED screens themselves have self-emissive properties, meaning that each red, green, or blue sub-pixel on the screen emits its own light without relying on an additional backlight, thus achieving a better transparent display effect.
[0003] Traditional ship bridge windows are made of transparent glass, allowing personnel to observe the outside world. However, traditional glass windows are limited in function, only fulfilling the basic function of a window. By combining transparent display technology, image display and transmittance adjustment functions can be added to the traditional glass window. Furthermore, by integrating a capacitive touchscreen, human-computer interaction functions can be provided. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a novel ship porthole based on a transparent screen. The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is as follows:
[0005] A novel ship porthole based on a transparent screen includes:
[0006] The porthole glass has a first side facing outwards from the cabin and a second side facing inwards from the cabin.
[0007] A transparent screen, attached to the second surface of the porthole glass, has an information display area;
[0008] The touchscreen, attached to the transparent screen, faces the inside of the cabin and has a touch area;
[0009] An adhesive layer is provided on the second surface of the porthole glass and between the transparent screen and the touch screen to bond the transparent screen and the touch screen.
[0010] Furthermore, the transparent screen and touchscreen are connected to the computer via cables.
[0011] Furthermore, the touchscreen is any one of a capacitive touchscreen, a resistive touchscreen, and an infrared touchscreen.
[0012] Furthermore, the transparent screen is an OLED transparent screen.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This utility model is based on a transparent screen and upgrades the traditional glass window of the ship's bridge. While maintaining the functions of the traditional glass window, it integrates a transparent screen and a touch screen, adding display functions and human-computer interaction functions. The upgrade and transformation does not require changes to the existing structure and layout and can be carried out in situ.
[0015] The upgraded portholes offer the following advantages: when the ship is sailing, situation and navigation information can be displayed through the portholes, allowing users to obtain the necessary information without looking down at the display device; when the outside sunlight is strong, the light intensity can be reduced by adjusting the transmittance of the OLED transparent screen, thus reducing eye strain; and the capacitive touchscreen enables rapid interaction, improving the response speed of personnel to events and instructions. Attached Figure Description
[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.
[0018] As shown in the figure:
[0019] 1. Porthole glass; 2. Transparent screen; 3. Touch screen; 4. Adhesive layer; 5. Computer. Detailed Implementation
[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments. Of course, the described embodiments are only a part of the present utility model and not all of them. Based on this embodiment, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a novel ship porthole based on a transparent screen includes:
[0022] The porthole glass 1 has a first side facing outwards from the hull and a second side facing inwards from the hull. The length-to-width ratio and shape of the porthole glass 1 are designed according to existing ship structures, such as 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, etc. For portholes of different locations and sizes, corresponding touchscreens 3, transparent screens 2, and porthole glass 1 are custom-selected. Touch signals and displayed information are received and processed by computer 5, which is controlled by personnel.
[0023] Transparent screen 2 is attached to the second surface of porthole glass 1 and has an information display area;
[0024] Touchscreen 3 is attached to transparent screen 2, facing the inside of the cabin, and has a touch area;
[0025] Adhesive layer 4 is provided on the second surface of the porthole glass 1 and between the transparent screen 2 and the touch screen 3 to bond the transparent screen 2 and the touch screen 3; the adhesive layer 4 is optical adhesive.
[0026] The transparent screen 2 and the touch screen 3 are connected to the computer 5 via cables.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the touch screen 3 of this utility model is any one of a capacitive touch screen, a resistive touch screen, and an infrared touch screen, or other touch devices; if touch function is not required, the touch screen 3 can be replaced with the porthole glass 1.
[0028] The transparent screen 2 is an OLED transparent screen or other types of transparent display screen.
[0029] The porthole glass 1 is 10 to 15 mm thick.
[0030] The thickness of the transparent screen 2 is 1.4 to 1.6 mm.
[0031] The thickness of the touchscreen 3 is 5 to 6 mm.
[0032] The thickness of the adhesive layer 4 is 1.5 to 2 mm.
[0033] In this invention, during assembly, the porthole glass 1 is placed on a horizontal workbench, and silicone pads 1.5 to 2 mm thick are attached to the edges of its upper surface to control the thickness of the adhesive layer 4. Pre-prepared two-component optical adhesive is poured onto the second surface of the porthole glass 1. Then, the transparent screen 2 is placed on the second surface of the porthole glass 1 and left to stand, allowing the adhesive to fully fill the gap between the transparent screen 2 and the porthole glass, while waiting for the adhesive to cure. After the adhesive has cured, the touch screen 3 and the transparent screen 2 are bonded together using the same process, thus completing the new porthole.
[0034] The novel porthole according to this utility model has a screen display function, with a maximum display brightness of 400 cd / m². 2With a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 and a color gamut of DCIP390%, it can adjust the light transmittance according to the ambient light outside the cabin to avoid strong light from interfering with the human eye. It also supports 10-point touch operation, integrating display and touch functions into one unit based on the traditional glass porthole.
[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
