Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical technology, and in particular to viewing angle control diaphragms and display panels. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, protecting personal privacy is becoming increasingly important. Consequently, viewing angle control films are being used in various displays, including laptops and mobile devices, and the demand for them is steadily growing. In particular, the reflections from windshields in car interiors can obstruct the driver's view, leading to the widespread use of viewing angle control films in automotive displays. However, existing viewing angle control films consist of a light-transmitting portion and a light-absorbing portion. The light-absorbing portion is primarily composed of light-absorbing materials such as carbon black, which reduces the viewing angle by blocking light. This presents several problems: 1. Due to the difficulty and time required for manufacturing, issues such as poor cleanliness and appearance may arise; 2. The light-absorbing materials in the light-absorbing portion block light, reducing luminous efficiency. Therefore, existing viewing angle control films have limitations in terms of brightness improvement. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a viewing angle control diaphragm includes:

[0027] Light-transmitting part 2;

[0028] Light reflecting parts 3, a plurality of light reflecting parts 3 are spaced apart on the light transmitting part 2: wherein:

[0029] The light-reflecting part 3 is recessed into the surface of the light-transmitting part 2, forming a concave cavity wall structure.

[0030] Furthermore, the light-reflecting part 3 includes an upper bottom surface, a side surface, and a lower bottom edge, forming a structure that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. Even further, the cross-section of the light-reflecting part 3 has a trapezoidal structure.

[0031] The wall thickness of the light-reflecting part 3 is 0.04 to 1 micrometer.

[0032] The aforementioned light-transmitting part 2 includes polycarbonate, acrylate, polyethylene glycol, etc. That is, the light-transmitting part 2 is composed of any one or more combinations of polycarbonate, acrylate, polyethylene glycol, etc., or it can be composed of materials with light-transmitting function.

[0033] The aforementioned light-transmitting portion 2 can also be formed of a material that allows visible light to pass through.

[0034] The light-reflecting part 3 includes aluminum, silver, aluminum-silver alloy, silver-lead-copper alloy, etc. That is, the light-transmitting material is composed of any one or more combinations of aluminum, silver, aluminum-silver alloy, silver-lead-copper alloy, etc., or it can be composed of other materials with light-reflecting functions, thereby avoiding the problem that the light-absorbing material in the light-absorbing part of the prior art blocks the light and leads to a reduction in light efficiency.

[0035] In addition to the above, it also includes:

[0036] Base 1;

[0037] Light-transmitting part 2 is disposed on substrate 1.

[0038] Light reflecting parts 3, a plurality of light reflecting parts 3 are spaced apart on the light transmitting part 2: wherein:

[0039] The light-reflecting part 3 is recessed into the surface of the light-transmitting part 2, forming a concave cavity wall structure.

[0040] The aforementioned substrate 1 includes acrylic film, polyester film, polyurethane film, etc. That is, substrate 1 can be made of any one of acrylic film, polyester film, polyurethane film, etc., or it can be composed of other materials with substrate film functions.

[0041] Based on the above, a method for preparing a viewing angle control diaphragm is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0042] like Figure 3As shown, a light-transmitting portion 2 is provided on the substrate 4; a light-reflecting material is vertically deposited on the light-transmitting portion 2 using a deposition process, and then a polishing process is used to obtain a polished surface light-reflecting portion 3; at this time, in order to prevent the deposition of reflective material between the light-reflecting portions 3 while allowing light to pass through, a shielding material can be installed between the light-reflecting portions 3 to prevent deposition, as shown in the figure; in order to allow light to pass through between the light-reflecting portions 3 after the light-reflecting material deposition process, the light-shielding film between the light-reflecting portions 3 needs to be removed by an etching process; by attaching the substrate 1 to the opposite side of the substrate 4, a viewing angle control film is finally obtained; thereby avoiding the problems of poor cleanliness and poor appearance that may occur in the prior art due to the difficulty and time of the manufacturing process.

[0046] Based on the above, from the base 1 to the vertical direction, the first ray L1 represents light entering from the bottom of the right slope 32 near the light reflecting part 3 and exiting towards the top of the left slope 31 near the adjacent light reflecting part 3, with an angle θ2 between it and the vertical plane of the base 1. Correspondingly, the second ray L2 represents light entering from the bottom of the left slope 31 near the light reflecting part 3 and exiting towards the top of the right slope 32 near the adjacent light reflecting part 3, with an angle θ1 between it and the vertical plane of the base 1. The third ray L3 represents light entering from the adjacent light reflecting part 3.
