[0024] Example

[0025] The privacy screen protector provided in this embodiment facilitates fingerprint unlocking, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes: a privacy film structure 1, which includes a privacy film layer 101, a service layer 102, and a transparent adhesive layer 103. The privacy film layer 101 has a through hole 1011 for exposing the fingerprint recognition module, or the privacy film layer 101 is set with a transparent film at the position corresponding to the fingerprint recognition module. The service layer 102 is pasted to the outer surface of the privacy film layer 101 with transparent adhesive, and the transparent adhesive layer 103 is pasted to the inner surface of the privacy film layer 101.

[0026] The privacy film for convenient fingerprint unlocking using the above solution mainly consists of a privacy film layer 101, a service layer 102, and a transparent adhesive layer 103. The privacy film layer 101 serves to prevent privacy, and a through hole 1011 is provided on the privacy film layer 101 to expose the fingerprint recognition module, or a transparent film is set on the privacy film layer 101 at the position corresponding to the fingerprint recognition module, which does not affect fingerprint unlocking. This solves the pain point of traditional privacy films having difficulty (or being unable to unlock) fingerprints. The service layer 102 serves to prevent explosions, scratches, and fingerprint marks. The transparent adhesive layer 103 allows the privacy film to be firmly attached to the screen of electronic devices. Therefore, the privacy film not only has explosion-proof and scratch-proof functions, but also effectively prevents privacy, while not affecting the sensitivity of fingerprint unlocking. It is suitable for screen protection of electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets.

[0027] Specifically, in order to ensure the explosion-proof, scratch-proof and fingerprint-resistant effects of the use layer 102, the use layer 102 is made of transparent (PET or frosted) PET material. At the same time, the side of the use layer 102 away from the privacy film layer 101 is frosted or high-definition glossy, which can effectively improve the visual experience.

[0028] To further ensure that the privacy film can be firmly attached to the screen of the electronic device, the transparent adhesive layer 103 is a transparent AB adhesive layer.

[0029] In order to protect the use layer 102 when it is not in use, a second protective film layer 104 is attached to the side of the use layer 102 away from the privacy film layer 101. In order to make the second protective film layer 104 easy to remove, a second tear strip 1041 is attached to the side of the second protective film layer 104 away from the use layer 102 near one of its corner edges.

[0030] In order to protect the transparent adhesive layer 103, a protective film layer 105 is attached to the side of the transparent adhesive layer 103 away from the privacy film layer 101. In order to make the protective film layer 105 easy to remove, a tear strip 1051 is attached to the side of the protective film layer 105 away from the transparent adhesive layer 103 near a corner edge.

[0031] To make protective film layer 2 104 and protective film layer 105 easier to peel off, both protective film layer 2 104 and protective film layer 105 are transparent PET release films.

[0032] To avoid obstructing the camera and sensor holes on the punch-hole screen, a notch 106 is provided on one side of the privacy film structure 1. The notch 106 penetrates the privacy film layer 101, the service layer 102, the transparent adhesive layer 103, the second protective film layer 104, and the first protective film layer 105. The notch 106 is provided to correspond to the camera hole and sensor hole of the mobile phone or tablet.

[0033] It is worth noting that the privacy film layer 101 is existing technology. The manufacturing process of this embodiment is briefly described as follows:

[0034] The privacy film layer 101 is designed based on the optical principle of Venetian blinds (LightControlFilm, LCF). It achieves multi-angle privacy by controlling the light propagation path through precise microstructures. The specific principle is as follows:

[0035] 1. Micro Venetian blind structure

[0036] The privacy film layer 101 has a micron-sized louver-shaped optical grid embedded inside, with the grid direction arranged perpendicular to the screen to form a light channel.

[0037] Light restriction angle: Light is only allowed to pass through in the vertical direction (0°) or within a range of ≤30° between the left and right / up and down angles. Light outside this range is blocked by the grid and cannot reach the viewer's line of sight, thus achieving privacy protection.

[0038] 2. Implementation of top and bottom privacy protection

[0039] Traditional privacy films only restrict the viewing angle to the left and right sides, while this embodiment restricts light diffusion in both horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously through the superposition of two layers of orthogonal grids (or cross-arranged microstructures).

[0040] First grid layer: arranged horizontally, controlling the left and right viewing angles.

[0041] The second grid layer: arranged vertically, controls the vertical viewing angle.

[0042] By optimizing the grid spacing (10-50μm) and height (5-20μm), we ensure that the brightness loss on the front of the screen is ≤15%, while the brightness attenuation on the sides is >90%.

[0043] 3. Transparent treatment of the fingerprint unlocking area

[0044] The location of the fingerprint recognition module corresponding to the through hole 1011 or the transparent film area:

[0045] Through-hole solution: Through laser etching or precision mold stamping, a through-hole with a diameter slightly larger than the fingerprint recognition area (e.g., 15-18mm in diameter) is formed on the privacy film layer 101, completely exposing the fingerprint area on the screen below.

[0046] Transparent film solution: Unstructured transparent optical adhesive (refractive index matching screen glass) is used in the corresponding area of ​​the privacy film layer 101 to eliminate the interference of micro-grid on the light path and ensure that the fingerprint recognition signal (such as optical or ultrasonic signal) is not attenuated.

[0047] 4. Optical performance parameters

[0048] Viewing angle: Effective privacy angle ≤30° (left / right / up / down) when screen brightness drops below 10%.

[0049] Light transmittance: Front light transmittance ≥ 85% (based on uncoated screen).

[0050] Haze: Haze in the privacy area ≤2% (to avoid blurry screen display).

[0051] In summary, the privacy screen protector for convenient fingerprint unlocking provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0052] This privacy screen protector for easy fingerprint unlocking mainly consists of a privacy screen protector layer 101, a service layer 102, and a transparent adhesive layer 103. The privacy screen protector layer 101 serves to prevent privacy, and it also has through holes 1011 for exposing the fingerprint recognition module, or a transparent film at the corresponding position of the fingerprint recognition module, which does not affect fingerprint unlocking. This solves the problem of traditional privacy screen protectors making fingerprint unlocking difficult (or impossible). The service layer 102 provides explosion-proof, scratch-proof, and fingerprint-resistant protection. The transparent adhesive layer 103 allows the privacy screen protector to be firmly attached to the screen of electronic devices. Therefore, this privacy screen protector not only has explosion-proof and scratch-proof functions, but also effectively prevents privacy, while not affecting the sensitivity of fingerprint unlocking. It is suitable for screen protection of electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets.

[0053] In use, peel off the protective film layer 105 using the first peeler 1051, and then use the transparent adhesive layer 103 to firmly attach the privacy film to the screen of the electronic device. At the same time, ensure that the notch 106 is aligned with the camera (hole or sensor hole) on the screen, and ensure that the through hole 1011 or transparent film on the privacy film layer 101 is aligned with the fingerprint recognition module on the screen. After the privacy film is attached, peel off the second protective film layer 104 using the second peeler 1041.

[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
