Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts also belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should also be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for explaining and interpreting the present invention, and do not limit the present invention. In the present invention, unless otherwise described, the directional terms "up" and "down" used generally refer to the up and down of the device in the actual use or operation state, specifically the drawing direction in the drawing, and "inside" and "outside" refer to the contour of the device.
[0020] Currently, optical films for expanding the chromaticity viewing angle require the addition of a film layer corresponding to a polarizing plate, which reduces the light emitted from the display device and deteriorates the display contrast, resulting in a decrease in the display quality of the display device.
[0021] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the light diffusion film 101 provided by the present invention includes a substrate 1011 and light diffusion particles 1012 dispersed in the substrate 1011, and the mass fraction of the light diffusion particles 1012 in the substrate 1011 is less than 3%.
[0022] In an embodiment of the present invention, by adding light diffusing particles 1012 having a mass fraction of less than 3% to the substrate 1011 of the light diffusing film 101, the viewing angle of the polarizing plate can be improved by utilizing the refraction effect of the light diffusing particles 1012 on the light, thereby avoiding the reduction in the emitted light caused by adding an additional film layer to the polarizing plate, and further improving the chromaticity viewing angle and contrast of a display device having the light diffusing film 101, as well as improving the light output rate of the display device.
[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will now be described with reference to specific embodiments.
[0024] 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the light diffusion particle 1012 has a major axis and a diameter, the major axis length of the light diffusion particle 1012 is the distance between both ends of the major axis of the light diffusion particle 1012, each light diffusion particle 1012 includes a plurality of cross sections in the extension direction perpendicular to the major axis of the light diffusion particle 1012, each cross section includes a circumscribing circle, and the diameter of the light diffusion particle 1012 corresponds to the diameter of the circumscribing circle with the largest diameter among the plurality of cross sections. Here, the two points on one cross section of the light diffusion particle 1012 that are the furthest apart are located on the circumscribing circle of the cross section, and the distance between the two points on the cross section that are the furthest apart is the diameter of the circumscribing circle. The light diffusion particle 1012 includes a first type light diffusion particle 1012a.
[0025] Here, the first type light diffusing particle 1012a includes a plurality of first cross sections, each of the first cross sections includes one first circumscribing circle, the ratio of the long axis length of the first type light diffusing particle 1012a to the diameter of the first circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of first circumscribing circles is 5 or more, the ratio of the long axis length of the first type light diffusing particle 1012a to the diameter of the first circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of first circumscribing circles is less than 100, and the first cross section is perpendicular to the extension direction of the long axis of the first type light diffusing particle 1012a, and may be, for example, 10, 12, 15, 16, 18, 20, 30, 32, 34, 35, 36, 38, 40, 42, 45, 46, 48, 50, 52, 55, 56, 58, 60, 62, 65, 68, 70, 80, 90, etc. The diameter of the first circumscribing circle of one of the first cross sections of the first type light diffusion particles 1012a is the distance between the two points on the first cross section that are the furthest apart. By using the first type light diffusion particles 1012a having a larger aspect ratio (the ratio between the major axis length and the diameter of the first circumscribing circle with the largest diameter), more light rays can easily change the propagation direction through the light diffusion particles 1012, so that the light diffusion particles 1012 can achieve an improvement effect on chromaticity, viewing angle and contrast.

When the first cross section of the first subtype light diffusing particles is circular, the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section of the first subtype light diffusing particles may overlap with the first cross section. When the first cross section of the first subtype light diffusing particles is elliptical, the diameter of the first circumscribing circle of each of the first cross sections of the first subtype light diffusing particles is the major axis length of the ellipse of each of the first cross sections of the first subtype light diffusing particles, and the ratio of the major axis of the ellipse of one of the first cross sections of one of the first subtype light diffusing particles to the minor axis of the ellipse of the first cross section of the first subtype light diffusing particles may be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 3, for example, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, etc.

In some embodiments, along the extension direction of the long axis of the third subtype light diffusing particle, the diameter of the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the middle part of the third subtype light diffusing particle is uniform, and the diameters of the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the first end part of the third subtype light diffusing particle and located at the second end part of the third subtype light diffusing particle vary.

Along the direction from the first end of the fourth subtype light diffusing particle to the second end of the fourth subtype light diffusing particle, the shape of the first cross section of the fourth subtype light diffusing particle is consistent and the area is reduced. When the first cross section of the fourth subtype light diffusing particle is elliptical, the ratio of the major axis of the ellipse to the minor axis of the ellipse of the first cross section of any of the fourth subtype light diffusing particles is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 3, such as 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, etc.
[0046] A first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle is connected to a second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle, and a diameter of a first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along a direction away from the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle, and a diameter of a first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along a direction away from the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle.
[0047] As can be understood, the diameter of the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along the direction away from the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle, the diameter of the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction away from the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle, including, but not limited to, the diameter of the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle gradually becoming smaller in the direction away from the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle.
[0048] As can be understood, the diameter of the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along the direction away from the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle, the diameter of the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction away from the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle, and the diameter of the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction away from the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle, including, but not limited to, the diameter of the first circumscribing circle of the first cross section located at the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle gradually becomes smaller in the direction away from the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle.
[0049] In some embodiments, the first cross-section of the fifth sub-type light diffusing particles may be a regular or irregular shape, such as a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a square, etc.
[0050] In some embodiments, the fifth sub-type light diffusing particles may be double tapered particles and / or oval-spherical particles.
[0051] In some embodiments, when the fifth subtype light diffusing particles are double tapered particles and / or elliptical spherical particles, the first cross section of the fifth subtype light diffusing particles is circular or elliptical. Along the direction away from the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particles, the shape of the first cross section located at the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particles is consistent and the area is reduced, and along the direction away from the first end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particles, the shape of the first cross section located at the second end of the fifth subtype light diffusing particles is consistent and the area is reduced. When the first cross section of the fifth subtype light diffusing particles is elliptical, the ratio of the major axis of the ellipse to the minor axis of the ellipse of the first cross section of any of the fifth subtype light diffusing particles is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 3, and may be, for example, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, etc.
[0052] The difference between the fifth subtype light diffusing particle being a double tapered particle and the fifth subtype light diffusing particle being an ellipsoidal particle is that when the fifth subtype light diffusing particle is a double tapered particle, the cross section parallel to the major axis direction of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle is a polygon such as a triangle or a rectangle, and when the fifth subtype light diffusing particle is an ellipsoidal particle, the cross section parallel to the major axis direction of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle is an ellipse.
[0053] In some embodiments, the fifth subtype light diffusing particles can have more light propagation directions than the first subtype light diffusing particles, the second subtype light diffusing particles, the third subtype light diffusing particles, and the fourth subtype light diffusing particles, thereby improving the chromaticity viewing angle and contrast. Therefore, the first type light diffusing particles 1012a include at least the fifth subtype light diffusing particles. In the fifth subtype light diffusing particles, the change in the light propagation direction of ellipsoidal particles is better than that of double tapered particles, and preferably, the fifth subtype light diffusing particles include at least ellipsoidal particles.
[0054] In some embodiments, the first type light diffusion particles 1012a include the fifth subtype light diffusion particles, and the first subtype light diffusion particles further include at least one of the first subtype light diffusion particles, the second subtype light diffusion particles, the third subtype light diffusion particles, and the fourth subtype light diffusion particles. Preferably, the first subtype light diffusion particles include the first subtype light diffusion particles, the second subtype light diffusion particles, the third subtype light diffusion particles, the fourth subtype light diffusion particles, and the fifth subtype light diffusion particles, which increases the shape diversity of the light diffusion particles 1012, increases the optical anisotropy of the light diffusion particles 1012, and contributes to improving the enhancing effect on the contrast and brightness of the light diffusion particles 1012.
[0055] In some embodiments, the long axis length of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a is 4 microns or more, and the long axis length of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a is 30 micrometers or less, for example, 5 micrometers, 10 micrometers, 15 micrometers, 20 micrometers, 25 micrometers, etc., so that more light rays can change the propagation direction through the long axis surface of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a, thereby improving the enhancement effect of the light diffusing particles 1012 on contrast and brightness. Preferably, the long axis length of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a is 10 micrometers or more, and the long axis length of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a is 30 micrometers or less, which facilitates obtaining the first light diffusing particles 1012 with a suitable long axis length and more concentrated, and contributes to further improving the enhancement effect of the light diffusing particles 1012 on contrast and brightness.
[0056] In some embodiments, the light diffusing particles 1012 may consist of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a.
[0057] In some embodiments, in order to improve the chromaticity, viewing angle and contrast of the light diffusion film 101 while improving the haze improvement effect of the light diffusion film 101, the light diffusion particles 1012 further include a second type light diffusion particle 1012b.
[0058] Here, the second type light diffusing particle 1012b includes a plurality of second cross sections, each of the second cross sections includes one second circumscribing circle, the ratio of the long axis length of the second type light diffusing particle 1012b to the diameter of the second circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of second circumscribing circles is 1 or more, the ratio of the long axis length of the second type light diffusing particle 1012b to the diameter of the second circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of second circumscribing circles is less than 5, for example, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, etc., and the second cross sections are perpendicular to the extension direction of the long axis of the second type light diffusing particle 1012b. The light diffusion particles 1012 include the second type light diffusion particles 1012b having a relatively small aspect ratio (the ratio of the major axis length to the diameter of the second circumscribed circle having the largest diameter), thereby improving the chromaticity viewing angle and contrast of the light diffusion film 101 and contributing to improving the haze improvement effect of the light diffusion film 101.
[0059] In some embodiments, the second type light diffusing particles 1012b are at least one selected from a sixth subtype light diffusing particle, a seventh subtype light diffusing particle, an eighth subtype light diffusing particle, a ninth subtype light diffusing particle, and a tenth subtype light diffusing particle, each having a different shape.
[0060] Here, the change value of the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section of the sixth subtype light diffusing particle along the extension direction of the long axis of the sixth subtype light diffusing particle may be 0.3 micrometers or less, for example, 0 micrometers, 0.28 micrometers, 0.25 micrometers, 0.22 micrometers, 0.2 micrometers, 0.18 micrometers, 0.15 micrometers, 0.12 micrometers, 0.1 micrometers, 0.08 micrometers, 0.05 micrometers, 0.02 micrometers, etc. In some embodiments, along the extension direction of the long axis of the sixth subtype light diffusing particle, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a first end of the sixth subtype light diffusing particle is the same as the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a middle part of the sixth subtype light diffusing particle, and the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a second end of the sixth subtype light diffusing particle is the same as the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a middle part of the sixth subtype light diffusing particle.
[0061] In some embodiments, the second cross-section of the sixth sub-type light diffusing particles may be a regular or irregular shape, such as a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a rectangle, etc.
[0062] In some embodiments, the sixth sub-type light diffusing particles are cuboid particles or rectangular particles, the second cross-section of the sixth sub-type light diffusing particles is square or rectangular, and the diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross-section of any of the sixth sub-type light diffusing particles is the diagonal length of the square or rectangle that the second cross-section represents.
[0063] The sixth subtype light diffusing particles are similar to the first subtype light diffusing particles, but the difference is that the ratio of the long axis length of the sixth subtype light diffusing particle to the diameter of the second circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the second circumscribing circles of the multiple second cross sections of the sixth subtype light diffusing particle is preferably close to 1, and may be, for example, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 3, etc.
[0064] A first end of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle is connected to a second end of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle, and a diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along a direction away from the second end of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle, and a diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the second end of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along a direction away from the first end of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle.
[0065] As can be understood, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along the direction away from the second end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction away from the second end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle, and the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction away from the second end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle, including, but not limited to, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle gradually becomes smaller in the direction away from the second end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle.
[0066] As can be understood, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the second end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along the direction away from the first end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the second end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction away from the first end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle, including, but not limited to, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the second end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle gradually becoming smaller in the direction away from the first end of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle.
[0067] In some embodiments, the second cross-section of the seventh sub-type light diffusing particles may be a regular or irregular shape, such as a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a rectangle, etc.
[0068] In some embodiments, when the seventh subtype light diffusing particles are spherical or ellipsoidal particles, the second cross section of the seventh subtype light diffusing particles is circular or elliptical. When the second cross section of the seventh subtype light diffusing particles is elliptical, the ratio of the major axis of the ellipse of the second cross section of any of the seventh subtype light diffusing particles to the minor axis of the ellipse is greater than 1 and not greater than 3, for example, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, etc. When the seventh subtype light diffusing particles are spherical, the second cross section of any of the seventh subtype light diffusing particles is circular, and the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section of any of the seventh subtype light diffusing particles overlaps with the second cross section, and the ratio of the major axis length of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle to the diameter of the second circumscribing circle with the largest diameter among the plurality of second cross sections of the seventh subtype light diffusing particles is 1.
[0069] The seventh subtype light diffusing particles are similar to the fifth subtype light diffusing particles, but differ in that the ratio of the major axis length of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle to the diameter of the second circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of second circumscribing circles of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle is smaller than the ratio of the major axis length of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle to the diameter of the first circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of first circumscribing circles of the fifth subtype light diffusing particle. When the seventh subtype light diffusing particles are ellipsoidal spherical particles, it is more preferable that the shape of the seventh subtype light diffusing particles is similar to that of spherical particles, i.e., the closer the major axis length of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle to the diameter of the seventh subtype light diffusing particle, the better. Preferably, the ratio of the major axis length of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle to the diameter of the second circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of second circumscribing circles of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle is 1 or more, and the ratio of the major axis length of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle to the diameter of the second circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of second circumscribing circles of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle is not more than 3. More preferably, the ratio of the major axis length of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle to the diameter of the second circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of second circumscribing circles of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle is 1 or more, and the ratio of the major axis length of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle to the diameter of the second circumscribing circle having the largest diameter among the plurality of second circumscribing circles of the 7th subtype light diffusing particle is 1.5 or less.
[0070] The change in diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the middle of the eighth subtype light diffusing particle along the extension direction of the long axis of the eighth subtype light diffusing particle is 1 micrometer or less, for example, 0 micrometers, 0.95 micrometers, 0.8 micrometers, 0.78 micrometers, 0.75 micrometers, 0.72 micrometers, 0.7 micrometers, 0.68 micrometers, 0.65 micrometers, 0.62 micrometers, 0.6 micrometers, 0.58 micrometers, 0.55 micrometers, 0.52 micrometers. , 0.5 micrometers, 0.48 micrometers, 0.45 micrometers, 0.42 micrometers, 0.4 micrometers, 0.38 micrometers, 0.35 micrometers, 0.32 micrometers, 0.3 micrometers, 0.28 micrometers, 0.25 micrometers, 0.22 micrometers, 0.2 micrometers, 0.18 micrometers, 0.15 micrometers, 0.12 micrometers, 0.1 micrometers, 0.08 micrometers, 0.05 micrometers, 0.02 micrometers, and the like.Along a direction away from the intermediate portion of the eighth subtype light diffusing particle, a diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a first end of the eighth subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller, and a change value of the diameter of the second end of the eighth subtype light diffusing particle is 1 micrometer or less, for example, 0 micrometer, 0.95 micrometer, 0.8 micrometer, 0.78 micrometer, 0.75 micrometer, 0.72 micrometer, 0.7 micrometer, 0.68 micrometer, 0.65 micrometer, 0.62 micrometer, 0.6 micrometer, 0.58 micrometer, 0.55 micrometer. meter, 0.52 micrometer, 0.5 micrometer, 0.48 micrometer, 0.45 micrometer, 0.42 micrometer, 0.4 micrometer, 0.38 micrometer, 0.35 micrometer, 0.32 micrometer, 0.3 micrometer, 0.28 micrometer, 0.25 micrometer, 0.22 micrometer, 0.2 micrometer, 0.18 micrometer, 0.15 micrometer, 0.12 micrometer, 0.1 micrometer, 0.08 micrometer, 0.05 micrometer, 0.02 micrometer, etc. In some embodiments, along a direction away from a middle portion of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle, a diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a first end of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller, and a diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a second end of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle is the same as a diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a middle portion of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle.
[0071] As can be understood, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller along the direction away from the intermediate portion of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle, and the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction away from the intermediate portion of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle, including, but not limited to, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle gradually becomes smaller in the direction away from the intermediate portion of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle.
[0072] In some embodiments, the second cross-section of the eighth sub-type light diffusing particle may be a regular or irregular shape, such as a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a square, etc.
[0073] In some embodiments, the eighth sub-type light diffusing particles may be needle-shaped particles with a smaller diameter at one end.
[0074] In some embodiments, when the 8th subtype light diffusing particle is a needle-like particle with a smaller diameter at one end, the second cross section of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle may be circular or elliptical. When the second cross section located at the second end of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle or the second cross section located at the middle part of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle is elliptical, the ratio of the major axis of the ellipse of the second cross section located at either the second end or the middle part of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle to the minor axis of the ellipse is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 3, for example, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, etc. The shape of the second cross section located at the first end of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle is the same as the shape of the second cross section located at the middle part of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle, and the area decreases along the direction away from the middle part of the 8th subtype light diffusing particle.
[0075] The change in diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the middle of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle along the extension direction of the long axis of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle is 1 micrometer or less, for example, 0 micrometers, 0.95 micrometers, 0.8 micrometers, 0.78 micrometers, 0.75 micrometers, 0.72 micrometers, 0.7 micrometers, 0.68 micrometers, 0.65 micrometers, 0.62 micrometers, 0.6 micrometers, 0.58 micrometers, 0.55 micrometers, 0.52 micrometers. , 0.5 micrometers, 0.48 micrometers, 0.45 micrometers, 0.42 micrometers, 0.4 micrometers, 0.38 micrometers, 0.35 micrometers, 0.32 micrometers, 0.3 micrometers, 0.28 micrometers, 0.25 micrometers, 0.22 micrometers, 0.2 micrometers, 0.18 micrometers, 0.15 micrometers, 0.12 micrometers, 0.1 micrometers, 0.08 micrometers, 0.05 micrometers, 0.02 micrometers, etc. Along a direction away from the intermediate portion of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle, a diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a first end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller, and a diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at a second end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller. In some embodiments, along the extension direction of the long axis of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the middle part of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle is uniform, and the diameters of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle and located at the second end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle vary.
[0076] As can be understood, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller along the direction away from the intermediate portion of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle, and the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction away from the intermediate portion of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle, including, but not limited to, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the first end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle gradually becomes smaller in the direction away from the intermediate portion of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle.
[0077] As can be understood, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the second end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along the direction away from the intermediate portion of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle, and the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the second end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction away from the intermediate portion of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle, including, but not limited to, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section located at the second end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle gradually becomes smaller in the direction away from the intermediate portion of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle.
[0078] In some embodiments, the second cross-section of the ninth sub-type light diffusing particles may be a regular or irregular shape, such as a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a rectangle, etc.
[0079] In some embodiments, the ninth sub-type light diffusing particles may be needle-shaped particles with decreasing diameters at both ends.
[0080] In some embodiments, when the 9th subtype light diffusing particle is a needle-like particle with a smaller diameter at both ends, the shape of the second cross section of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle may be circular or elliptical. When the second cross section located at the middle part of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle is elliptical, the ratio of the major axis of the ellipse of the second cross section located at any part of the 9th subtype middle part to the minor axis of the ellipse is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 3, for example, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, etc. The shape of the second cross section located at the first end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle and at the second end of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle is consistent with the shape of the second cross section located at the middle part of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle, and the area decreases along the direction away from the middle part of the 9th subtype light diffusing particle.
[0081] A first end of the 10th sub-type light diffusing particle is connected to a second end of the 10th sub-type light diffusing particle, and a diameter of a second circumscribing circle of the second cross section of the 10th sub-type light diffusing particle becomes smaller along a direction from the first end of the 10th sub-type light diffusing particle to the second end of the 10th sub-type light diffusing particle.
[0082] As can be understood, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section of the 10 subtype light diffusing particle becomes smaller along the direction from the first end of the 10 subtype light diffusing particle to the second end of the 10 subtype light diffusing particle, and the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section of the 10 subtype light diffusing particle tends to become smaller in the direction from the first end of the 10 subtype light diffusing particle to the second end of the 10 subtype light diffusing particle, including, but not limited to, the diameter of the second circumscribing circle of the second cross section of the 10 subtype light diffusing particle gradually becomes smaller in the direction from the first end of the 10 subtype light diffusing particle to the second end of the 10 subtype light diffusing particle.
[0083] In some embodiments, the second cross-section of the tenth sub-type light diffusing particle may be a regular or irregular shape, such as a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a square, etc.
[0084] In some embodiments, the tenth sub-type light diffusing particles may be long tapered particles.
[0085] In some embodiments, when the 10th subtype light diffusing particle is a long tapered particle, the second cross section of the 10th subtype light diffusing particle is circular or elliptical. Along the direction from the first end of the 10th subtype light diffusing particle to the second end of the 10th subtype light diffusing particle, the shape of the second cross section of the 10th subtype light diffusing particle is consistent and the area is reduced. When the 10th subtype light diffusing particle has a second cross section of an ellipse, the ratio of the major axis of the ellipse to the minor axis of the ellipse of any of the 10th subtype light diffusing particles is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 3, such as 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, etc.
[0086] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the light diffusion effect, the long axis length of the second type light diffusion particles 1012b is 12 nanometers or more, and the long axis length of the second type light diffusion particles 1012b is 12.4 micrometers or less, such as 20 nanometers, 50 nanometers, 100 nanometers, 500 nanometers, 1 micrometer, 3 micrometers, 5 micrometers, 8 micrometers, 10 micrometers, etc. Preferably, the long axis length of the second type light diffusion particles 1012b is 1 micrometer or more, and the long axis length of the second type diffusion particles 1012b is 5 micrometers or less. More preferably, the long axis length of the second type light diffusion particles 1012b is 1.5 micrometers or more, and the long axis length of the seventh subtype diffusion particles is 4 micrometers or less.
[0087] The second type light diffusing particles 1012b have a slightly weaker effect of improving chromaticity viewing angle and contrast compared to the first type light diffusing particles 1012a, and the relatively small amount of the second type light diffusing particles 1012b can have a significant effect of adjusting the haze of the light diffusing film 101. Therefore, the mass fraction of the second type light diffusing particles 1012b in the light diffusing particles 1012 may be equal to or less than the mass fraction of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a in the light diffusing particles 1012. For example, the mass fraction of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a in the light diffusing particles 1012 is 50% or more, and the mass fraction of the second type light diffusing particles 1012b in the light diffusing particles 1012 is 50% or less. The mass fraction of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a in the light diffusing particles 1012 may be 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 99%, and so on.
[0088] In some embodiments, when the light diffusing particles 1012 include the second type light diffusing particles 1012b, and the second type light diffusing particles 1012b include the sixth subtype light diffusing particles and the seventh subtype light diffusing particles, the mass fraction of the sixth subtype light diffusing particles in the light diffusing particles 1012 is smaller than the mass fraction of the seventh subtype light diffusing particles in the light diffusing particles 1012.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second type light diffusing particles 1012b are whiskers. The material of the first type light diffusing particles 1012a and the material of the second type light diffusing particles 1012b are at least one selected from the group consisting of organic materials, inorganic materials, and composite materials.

[0093] In some embodiments, the second type light diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light diffusing particles 1012a may be surface-modified to improve the dispersibility of the second type light diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light diffusing particles 1012a in the substrate 1011 or to improve the functionality of the second type light diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light diffusing particles 1012a, such as toughness. When the second type light diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light diffusing particles 1012a are surface-modified, the surface of the second type light diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light diffusing particles 1012a is modified by at least one of inorganic cations, inorganic anions, polymers, coupling agents, or surfactants. That is, the surface of the second type light diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light diffusing particles 1012a includes at least one of inorganic cation groups, inorganic anion groups, polymer groups, coupling agent groups, or surfactant groups.

The thio surfactant is at least one selected from thiols and fluorothiols, specifically, for example, at least one selected from octylthiol, dodecylthiol, tetradecylthiol, octadecylthiol, fluorooctylthiol, and fluorododecylthiol. After the sulfonic acid surfactant is mixed with the surface-modified light-diffusing particles 1012, the sulfonic acid surfactant groups form a sulfonic acid group shell layer, such as a benzene ring sulfonic acid group shell layer, on the surface of the whiskers to protect the light-diffusing particles 1012, improve the toughness of the light-diffusing particles 1012, and contribute to reducing breakage of the second type light-diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light-diffusing particles 1012a in the light-diffusing film 101.After the thio surfactant group is mixed with the surface-modified light-diffusing particles 1012, the thio surfactant group and the hydroxyl group on the surface of the whiskers form a cross-linked network of OSO, and the binding energy of OSO is relatively large, which protects the second type light-diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light-diffusing particles 1012a during the process of mixing the second type light-diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light-diffusing particles 1012a with the material of the substrate 1011 to form the light-diffusing film 101, reduces the breakage of the second type light-diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light-diffusing particles 1012a, and contributes to enhancing the improvement effect of the second type light-diffusing particles 1012b and / or the first type light-diffusing particles 1012a on optical functions such as contrast and brightness.

[0099] In some embodiments, modified triacetate cellulose, modified polyethylene terephthalate, modified polycarbonate, modified polymethacrylate, or modified polyethylene naphthalate can be obtained by hydrophilically or lipophilically modifying unmodified triacetate fiber, unmodified polyethylene terephthalate, unmodified polycarbonate, unmodified polymethacrylate, or unmodified polyethylene naphthalate, respectively. For example, modified polyethylene terephthalate can be obtained by introducing a linear alkyl side chain, a carboxyl side chain, a hydroxyl side chain, or a fluorine-containing group side chain into unmodified polyethylene terephthalate. When modified polyethylene terephthalate is obtained by introducing a carboxyl side chain and / or a hydroxyl side chain into unmodified polyethylene terephthalate, modified polyethylene terephthalate is obtained by introducing a carboxyl side chain and / or a hydroxyl side chain into the phenyl group of unmodified polyethylene terephthalate.

EXAMPLES
[0129] This embodiment is the same as or similar to Example 1, with the difference being that the light-diffusing particles in the substrate are a mixture of elliptical spherical silica and rod-shaped silica in a mass ratio of 1:1 to form the light-diffusing film 2, and the mass fraction of the light-diffusing particles in the light-diffusing film 2 is 0.5%.

[0131] The light diffusion films obtained in Examples 1 and 2 and the comparative light diffusion film obtained in Comparative Example 1 were placed on the side of a polarizing plate away from the display panel, and the polarizing plate was attached to the surface of a 75-inch liquid crystal display panel to perform an optical effect test, the results of which are shown in Table 1. The polarizing plate to be tested included a compensation layer, a polarizing layer, a protective layer, a light diffusion film (or a comparative light diffusion film), and a transparent cured sub-layer, which were laminated in this order.
[0132] The haze is measured using a haze measuring instrument NDH7000.
[0133] The dark state ratio refers to the ratio between the luminance of the display panel observed when the display panel is in a dark state and the center of the display panel is at an angle of 30° or 60°, and the luminance of the display panel when the display panel is in a dark state and the center of the display panel.
[0134] Contrast is the ratio of the luminance of the display panel in the white state to the luminance of the display panel in the dark state. In this test, the central luminance of the display panel in the white state and the central luminance of the display panel in the dark state were measured.
[0135] The luminance viewing angle is the value of the lateral viewing angle corresponding to the case where the luminance at the lateral viewing angle is half that at the square viewing angle.
[0136] The transmittance is the ratio of the white state luminance to the emission luminance of the backlight module.
[0137] The chromaticity viewing angle measurement is a viewing angle measurement performed according to the CESI standard (CESI 0.03).
