Abstract

This paper provides a compartment light control film, an electrode formation method, and a laser cutting device. The compartment light control film includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a liquid crystal layer, and an electrode. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first and second conductive layers. The electrode is disposed at a predetermined position on the compartment light control film and contacts at the predetermined position with at least one of the first and second conductive layers. The electrode is formed by silver paste and a residual conductive layer at a predetermined position on the compartment light control film. Silver paste is inexpensive and has good conductivity, eliminating the drawbacks of conductive layers, which have high resistance and poor conductivity. Furthermore, the conductivity provided by the silver paste and conductive layer allows voltage to be effectively transmitted to the ends of each compartment of the light control film, even if the film is narrow. This disclosure discloses that the electrodes formed from the silver paste and conductive layer provide a conductive function and establish electrical connection between an external control device and the interior of the compartment light control film, thereby simplifying the electrode wiring of the compartment light control film and reducing the cost of electrode fabrication.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of optoelectronic devices, and in particular to a compartment light control film, an electrode formation method, and a laser cutting apparatus.

[0002] Cross-reference to related applications

[0003] This publication claims priority based on a Chinese patent application bearing application number 202211072155.7 and entitled "Compartment light-control film, electrode formation method and laser cutting device," filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of the People's Republic of China on September 2, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]

[0004] As the application fields of PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) light-control film expand and its recognition increases, users are increasingly demanding patterned and customized patterned displays on PDLC light-control films. By dividing the PDLC light-control film into patterns, providing electrodes in each area, and applying electricity to different areas individually, various conversion combinations can be realized, such as making the patterned area transparent and the non-patterned area cloudy, or making the patterned area cloudy and the non-patterned area transparent, or making the entire film transparent or cloudy. By setting a program for controlling the electricity flow, conversion between different modes can be achieved.

[0005] To achieve the desired transparency in different regions of a compartmentalized light-control film, the electrode distribution of the compartmentalized light-control film must be configured to achieve electrical control of the different regions. Currently, two methods for connecting the interior of a compartmentalized light-control film to an external control device are typically to install circuit lines and connect the external control device to the interior of the compartmentalized light-control film, or to connect the external control device to the interior of the compartmentalized light-control film directly via a conductive layer. When a compartmentalized light-control film has many compartments, connecting them via circuit lines results in a complex circuit. When connecting via a conductive layer, the resistance of the conductive layer is high (typically 100 to 300 Ω. For example, the resistance at both ends of the long sides of a 2 cm x 100 cm conductive film is approximately 5 to 10 kΩ, the resistance at both ends of the long sides of a 1 cm x 100 cm conductive film is approximately 20 kΩ, and the resistance at both ends of the long sides of a 0.2 cm x 100 cm conductive film is approximately 5 to 10 MΩ). Therefore, using a conductive layer as wiring for a large PDLC film makes it difficult to transmit voltage to the PDLC film. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a compartmentalized light management film, which includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a plurality of independent electrodes bounded by electrode cut lines, wherein a pattern is formed on at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the pattern on the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer being an area defined by laser-etched lines, the plurality of independent electrodes are provided at predetermined positions on the compartmentalized light management film and connect to corresponding areas of the patterned conductive layer at the predetermined positions on the compartmentalized light management film where different patterns are located, the laser-etched lines of each of the patterns connect to the corresponding electrode cut lines, and the plurality of independent electrodes are formed by silver paste and a residual conductive layer at predetermined positions on the compartmentalized light management film.

[0014] In the above embodiment, the power input terminals of the multiple independent electrodes are formed at the same position, so that the external control device can connect to the multiple independent electrodes at the predetermined edge position, thereby simplifying the circuit connection structure of the segmented light control film.

[0015] In one embodiment, one end of the plurality of independent electrodes at a predetermined edge position of the compartment light control film, away from the area where the different patterns of the conductive layer are located, is connected to an external control device via an FPC, and the plurality of independent electrodes correspond to the crimping points of the FPC and are configured so that the plurality of independent electrodes can be crimped to the FPC, and the FPC is snap-connected to the external control device.

[0022] In the above example, the electrodes and the conductive layer are cut using a laser, and the laser does not cut the PET layer during cutting, so the integrity of the PET layer is guaranteed, cutting can be performed as intended, and cutting accuracy is improved.

[0023] In one embodiment, one end of each of the plurality of independent electrodes, which is away from the area where the different patterns of the conductive layer are located, is formed at a predetermined edge position at a predetermined position of the light-controlling film, and the electrode that contacts the patterned conductive layer is cut based on the laser etching line to form a plurality of independent electrodes bounded by the electrode cut line, thereby connecting the areas where the different patterns of the patterned conductive layer are located with the corresponding independent electrodes.

[0033] Hereinafter, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings used in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0034] In addition, since like reference numerals indicate like objects in the drawings, when a definition is made in one drawing, further definition and interpretation in other drawings is unnecessary. In addition, in the specification of this disclosure, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are merely used for distinction and should not be understood to express or imply relative importance.

[0035] PDLC light-controlling film is made by coating a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal layer between two layers of PET-ITO (substrate layer-conductive layer) film, then polymerizing the polymer through photo- or thermal curing. The liquid crystal precipitates from the polymer, forming micron-sized droplets that are uniformly dispersed within the polymer network. The application of an electric field changes the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules; when the liquid crystal molecules are aligned perpendicular to the film surface, the film becomes transparent; when they are aligned randomly, the film becomes cloudy. Therefore, the film can be switched between clear and cloudy by applying and removing current. Currently, PDLC light-controlling film is primarily used in interior decoration, glass curtain walls, signage, automotive glass, and other applications.

[0036] To make different regions transparent individually, electrodes must be formed for each section. There are several ways to form electrodes: 1. Form an electrode for each section and connect the film strip to a control device with welding wire. The drawbacks of this method are the complexity of the circuit and the large thickness difference between the welding points and the film strip, which impacts the fabrication of light-control glass using film strips. 2. Connect the electrodes in each section using a flexible circuit board (FPC). This method optimizes circuit arrangement and welding, but is expensive. For example, a 1-meter-long FPC board with 10 sections costs approximately 1,000 RMB, more expensive than PDLC film. 3. Use the conductive layer itself as a conductor to gather the scattered electrodes and connect them to the control device via welding wire or FPC. The drawback is that this method is only suitable for small film strips. For example, a 1-meter-long film strip with 10 sections cannot pass electricity to the film strip at the distal end to make it transparent if a 2-cm-wide conductive layer is used as the conductor. This is mainly due to the high resistance of the conductive layer, which dissipates the voltage and prevents it from reaching the film strip. Furthermore, if the width of the conductive layer used as the conductor becomes large, it will affect the overall dimensions of the film.

[0037] In light of this, the present inventor, through extensive research into light control films, has developed a method for forming electrodes in a segmented light control film and a laser cutting device. One conductive layer is cut off at a predetermined location in the segmented light control film, the liquid crystal layer in that location is removed, and silver paste is applied to the remaining conductive layer in that location (the remaining conductive layer), forming an electrode from the silver paste and conductive layer. The electrode is then segmented so that it communicates with different areas of the patterned conductive layer. Since separate circuits are not required to connect each area within the segmented light control film to an external control device, the circuit configuration can be simplified.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, the segmented light control film includes a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, a liquid crystal layer, and an electrode. The liquid crystal layer is disposed between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The electrode is disposed at a predetermined position on the segmented light control film and contacts at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer at the predetermined position on the segmented light control film.

[0039] The electrodes are formed by the silver paste and the remaining conductive layer (the conductive layer that was not cut off) in place of the compartmental light management film.

[0040] The electrodes include a plurality of independent electrodes and a common electrode.

[0041] The predetermined position of the compartment light control film is the electrode area at the edge of the compartment light control film. The compartment light control film may include an effective display area, which is the area for display in the compartment light control film, and an electrode area, which is the area other than the display area in the compartment light control film (area not for display).

[0042] The electrode has one end connected to the inside of the light control film and the other end connected to an external control device, and is used as a connection line between the external control device and the inside of the light control film.

[0043] The compartment light control film according to the present disclosure has a variety of configurations, and the configuration of the compartment light control film according to the present disclosure will be further described below using specific examples. For example, as shown in Figure 1, the electrodes include a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode includes a first conductive layer and a silver paste applied to the first conductive layer, and the second electrode includes a second conductive layer and a silver paste applied to the second conductive layer.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 2, the electrodes may include only a first electrode comprising a first conductive layer and a silver paste applied to the first conductive layer.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 3, the electrodes may include only a second electrode comprising a second conductive layer and silver paste applied to the second conductive layer.

[0046] In the above example, silver paste is applied to the residual conductive layer at a predetermined position of the compartment light control film, and an electrode is formed from the silver paste and the residual conductive layer. Because the silver paste has good conductivity, it can eliminate the high resistance and poor conductivity that occurs when the conductive layer alone is used as an electrode, improving the electrode's conductivity. Furthermore, the electrode formed from the conductive layer and silver paste can be directly connected to the inside of the compartment light control film and can also be connected to an external control device, eliminating the need for a connection line between the inside of the compartment light control film and the external control device and simplifying the electrode wiring of the compartment light control film.

[0047] In one possible embodiment, the compartmental light management film further comprises a plurality of independent electrodes bounded by electrode cut lines.

[0048] A pattern is formed on at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The pattern on the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer is an area defined by laser etching lines. The electrode in contact with the patterned conductive layer includes a plurality of independent electrodes bounded by electrode cut lines. Areas of the patterned conductive layer where different patterns are located are each connected to a corresponding independent electrode.

[0049] The laser-etched lines of each pattern are connected to the corresponding electrode cut lines, and a plurality of independent electrodes bounded by the electrode cut lines are formed by the silver paste and the residual conductive layer at predetermined positions of the compartment light control film.

[0050] Here, the pattern may be a regular pattern such as a circular pattern or a square pattern, or may include an irregular pattern such as a person, a plant, or an animal. One or more patterns may be formed on the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer. The pattern is an area formed on the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer by laser etching using a laser etching device, with laser etching lines as boundaries.

[0051] The electrode is cut using a laser cutting device, thereby forming a plurality of independent electrodes bounded by the electrode cut lines, each of which connects to a different region of the patterned conductive layer.

[0052] The pattern in the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer is an open-shaped pattern. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a cross section of a patterned conductive layer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where multiple independent electrodes are located with electrode cut lines as boundaries. As shown in FIG. 4, the patterned conductive layer includes two patterns: a circular pattern and a rectangular pattern. The circular pattern communicates with independent electrode 2, the rectangular pattern communicates with independent electrode 3, and the remaining area communicates with independent electrode 1. The laser-etched lines of the circular pattern (solid lines of the circular pattern in FIG. 4) connect with the electrode cut lines of independent electrode 2 (disconnection of independent electrode 2 in FIG. 4), and the laser-etched lines of the rectangular pattern (solid lines of the rectangular pattern in FIG. 4) connect with the electrode cut lines of independent electrode 3 (disconnection of independent electrode 3 in FIG. 4).

[0053] In the above embodiment, the electrode is divided into multiple independent electrodes, and a single electrode is formed into a plurality of separate conductive wires, which are connected to different regions of the conductive layer on which the pattern is formed, thereby realizing individual control of different regions of the conductive layer on which the pattern is formed, and improving the independence of the display of multiple patterns in the divided light control film.

[0054] In one possible embodiment, the independent electrodes bounded by the electrode cut lines are not electrically connected to each other, and each independent electrode is connected to a different section of the patterned conductive layer and an external control device.

[0055] The electrode cut line is formed by cutting the electrode with a laser cutting device. That is, after the electrode is cut with the laser cutting device, the electrode cut line is formed at the cut point of the electrode. The conductive layer and silver paste of the electrode on both sides of the electrode cut line are both cut, forming two electrodes that are not electrically connected to each other.

[0056] Here, the number of independent electrodes corresponds to the number of regions in the conductive layer on which the pattern is formed. If there are five regions in the conductive layer on which the pattern is formed, there are five independent electrodes. If there are three regions in the conductive layer on which the pattern is formed, there are three independent electrodes. That is, the number of independent electrodes corresponds to the number of regions in the conductive layer on which the pattern is formed.

[0057] In the above embodiment, each independent electrode is not electrically connected to the other and communicates with an area where a different pattern is located and an area other than the pattern in the patterned conductive layer, respectively, so that it is possible to realize independent control of each area in the patterned conductive layer and the corresponding electrode.

[0058] In one possible embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the segment light control film further includes a common electrode formed at a predetermined position on the segment light control film and in contact with the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer on which no pattern is formed.

[0059] A pattern is formed on one of the first and second conductive layers, and regions of the patterned conductive layer where different patterns are located are connected to an electrode, which is either the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer, where no pattern is formed, or patterns are formed on the first and second conductive layers, and regions of the first and second conductive layers where the patterns are the same are connected to each other.

[0060] When a pattern is formed on one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, the unpatterned electrode functions as a common electrode for the electrodes on the patterned conductive layer, and the multiple independent electrodes on the patterned conductive layer are all connected to the common electrode on the unpatterned conductive layer.

[0061] When patterns are formed on the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer, there is no common electrode in the segmented light control film, and areas of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer that have the same pattern are connected to each other.

[0062] In the above embodiments, by adopting different electrode connection methods according to the state of the compartment light-control film, the display of the compartment light-control film can be realized according to actual requirements, and the accuracy of the display of the compartment light-control film can be improved.

[0063] In one possible embodiment, one end of each of the independent electrodes, which is spaced apart from the area where the different patterns of the conductive layer are located, is located at a predetermined edge position of a predetermined position of the segmented light control film.

[0064] Optionally, the predetermined position of the compartment light control film is the electrode position (the position where the electrode is located), and the predetermined edge position is the lower right corner position of the electrode or the upper right position of the electrode. The predetermined edge position can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and may be other positions, and is not limited to this disclosure.

[0065] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, one end of independent electrode 1, independent electrode 2, and independent electrode 3, which is away from the area where the different patterns of the conductive layer are located, is all located at the lower right corner of the segmented light control film.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the power input terminals of the multiple independent electrodes are formed at the same position, so that an external control device can connect to the multiple independent electrodes at the predetermined edge position. This simplifies the circuit connection configuration of the compartment light control film. In one possible embodiment, one end of the multiple independent electrodes at the predetermined edge position, which is away from the area where the different patterns of the conductive layer are located, is connected to the external control device via a flexible circuit board (FPC). The multiple independent electrodes correspond to the crimping points of the FPC and are configured so that the multiple independent electrodes can be crimped to the FPC. The FPC is snap-connected (engaged) to the external control device.

[0067] Here, the multiple independent electrodes may be multiple independent electrodes formed by cutting one electrode, or multiple independent electrodes formed by cutting two different electrodes. Each independent electrode is crimped to one FPC. If a common electrode is present in the compartment light control film, the common electrode of the compartment light control film is also crimped to one FPC.

[0068] If the independent electrodes and common electrode are crimped to the FPC, when connecting the electrodes in the compartment light control film to an external control device, the FPC can be connected to the external control device, which is then snap-connected to the FPC.

[0069] In the above embodiment, one end of each of the electrodes that is away from the area where the different patterns of the conductive layer are located is crimped to an FPC, and the electrodes are snap-connected to an external control device via the FPC, thereby simplifying the connection method between the electrodes and the external control device.

[0070] 5 is a flow chart of the electrode forming method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure. The specific flow shown in FIG. 5 will be described in detail below.

[0071] Step 201: Cut off at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer at a predetermined position of the segment light management film.

[0072] The predetermined position here may be an electrode area on the edge of the compartment light control film. The compartment light control film may include an effective display area, which is an area for display in the compartment light control film, and an electrode area, which is an area other than the area for display in the compartment light control film.

[0073] The predetermined positions include two predetermined positions, namely, the leftmost electrode region of the compartment light control film and the rightmost electrode region of the compartment light control film. When cutting off at least one of the first and second conductive layers at one predetermined position, only the conductive layer on one side of the predetermined position on the compartment light control film is cut off. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, if the predetermined positions are the leftmost and rightmost electrode regions of the compartment light control film, the leftmost second conductive layer and the rightmost first conductive layer are cut off. As shown in FIG. 2, if the predetermined position is the leftmost electrode region of the compartment light control film, only the leftmost second conductive layer is cut off. As shown in FIG. 3, if the predetermined position is the rightmost electrode region of the compartment light control film, only the rightmost first conductive layer is cut off.

[0074] The cut-off of at least one of the first and second conductive layers at a predetermined position of the partition light control film is a half cut-off, i.e., a portion of at least one of the first and second conductive layers at a predetermined position of the partition light control film is cut off. For example, half of the first and second conductive layers may be cut off, one-third of the first and second conductive layers may be cut off, or one-quarter of the first and second conductive layers may be cut off. The cut-off portions of the first and second conductive layers can be adjusted as needed and are not limited to the present disclosure.

[0075] Step 202: Remove the liquid crystal layer in place.

[0076] When at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer is cut off at a predetermined position of the compartment light control film, the liquid crystal layer in the cut-off portion is exposed. After the exposed liquid crystal layer is removed, the conductive layer in the cut-off portion is exposed.

[0077] Step 203: Apply silver paste to the remaining conductive layer in place, and form an electrode by the silver paste and the remaining conductive layer.

[0078] The residual conductive layer is at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer.

[0079] For example, as shown in Figure 1, if the residual conductive layer is the leftmost first conductive layer and the rightmost second conductive layer, silver paste is applied to the leftmost first conductive layer and the rightmost second conductive layer of the compartment light control film, respectively, to form electrodes on the leftmost and rightmost sides of the compartment light control film. As shown in Figure 2, if the residual conductive layer is the leftmost first conductive layer, silver paste is applied only to the leftmost first conductive layer of the compartment light control film, to form an electrode on the leftmost side of the compartment light control film. As shown in Figure 3, if the residual conductive layer is the rightmost second conductive layer, silver paste is applied only to the rightmost second conductive layer of the compartment light control film, to form an electrode on the rightmost side of the compartment light control film.

[0080] In some embodiments, a pattern is formed on at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The pattern on the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer is formed by laser etching. The pattern on the first conductive layer or the second conductive layer is an area defined by laser-etched lines. The electrodes connect the interior of the segmented light management film to an external control device.

[0081] Step 204: Cut the electrodes in contact with the patterned conductive layer according to the laser etching lines to form a plurality of independent electrodes bounded by the electrode cutting lines, thereby connecting the regions of the patterned conductive layer where different patterns are located with the corresponding independent electrodes.

[0082] The electrode cut lines are connected to the laser etching lines.

[0083] The start and end of the electrode cutting line for each independent electrode may be located at fixed positions. For example, if the electrode wire of the compartment light control film is drawn out from the lower right corner of the compartment light control film, the start point of the electrode cutting line will be the opening of the laser-etched line of the pattern, and the end point of the electrode cutting line will be the lower right corner of the compartment light control film. When cutting the electrode, the cutting path of the electrode cutting line is determined based on the start and end positions of the electrode cutting line and the preset cutting path, and cutting is performed along the electrode cutting line.

[0084] In the above embodiment, the electrode is divided into a plurality of independent electrodes based on the laser-etched lines, and the electrode is further divided according to the pattern of the patterned conductive layer, and each independent electrode is connected to a corresponding region, thereby realizing independent control of each region of the patterned conductive layer and the corresponding electrode.

[0085] Although the steps of the electrode formation method have been described in the above order, the steps do not necessarily have to be performed in the above order. That is, a person skilled in the art may perform the steps in an order different from the order of the steps of the electrode formation method. Such a change does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

[0086] For example, in some embodiments, after the remaining conductive layer is exposed in step 202, step S204 may be performed first, followed by step S203. That is, in some embodiments, after the remaining conductive layer is exposed, a pattern is first formed in the corresponding conductive layer based on the laser etching lines, and then the remaining conductive layer is cut along electrode cut lines connecting with the laser etching lines to form multiple independent cut regions bounded by the electrode cut lines, thereby connecting regions where different patterns are located in the patterned conductive layer to the corresponding cut regions. Then, silver paste is applied to each of the multiple cut regions of the remaining conductive layer, and electrodes are formed by the silver paste and the remaining conductive layer. Therefore, laser etching is not required after applying the silver paste. In some embodiments, the application of silver paste to the multiple cut regions of the remaining conductive layer is performed by screen printing the silver paste into each cut region.

[0087] In some embodiments, the step of forming a pattern on the corresponding conductive layer based on the laser etching line and the step of cutting the remaining conductive layer along the electrode cutting line may be performed in one step, that is, the pattern and the cutting area can be simultaneously formed on the corresponding conductive layer in one step, thereby improving the productivity of the segmented light control film.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the compartment light control film further includes a first PET layer and a second PET layer, and the first conductive layer is disposed on the first PET layer and the second conductive layer is disposed on the second PET layer.

[0089] In one possible embodiment, step 201 includes cutting off at least one of the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer at predetermined locations on the light management film using a laser. Alternatively, cutting an electrode in contact with the patterned conductive layer based on the laser-etched lines includes cutting an electrode in contact with the patterned conductive layer based on the laser-etched lines using a laser.

[0090] In this case, the laser does not cut through the first and second PET layers.

[0091] The laser here is generated from a laser-cutting device. By setting the operating parameters of the laser-cutting device, the laser energy output from the laser-cutting device can be controlled, so that the laser can be controlled to cut the conductive layer of the segmented light control film.

[0092] In the above example, the electrodes and the conductive layer are cut using a laser, and the laser does not cut the PET layer during cutting, so the integrity of the PET layer is guaranteed, cutting can be performed as intended, and cutting accuracy is improved.

[0093] In one possible embodiment, after step 204, the method further includes the steps of: making the plurality of independent electrodes correspond to the crimping points of the FPC; crimping the plurality of independent electrodes to the FPC; and snap-connecting the plurality of independent electrodes to an external control device through the FPC.

[0094] In the above embodiment, the method of connecting the electrodes to the external control device can be simplified by crimping each of the plurality of electrodes to an FPC and then snap-connecting the electrodes to the external control device via the FPC.
