Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional reflection-type display screens face reduced optical effect due to insufficient ambient light, as they rely on reflection rather than transmission of light, leading to decreased light usage and eye fatigue.

Innovation Solution

A display module comprising a panel, a light guiding component with equally spaced light guiding dots, and an optical adhesive layer positioned on the light guiding plate, where the adhesive layer's thickness matches the distance from the light guiding dots to the plate, allowing efficient light transmission and preventing air refraction index interference.

AI summary

A display module includes a panel, a light guiding component, and an optical adhesive layer. The light guiding component includes a light guiding plate having a side facing the panel, and light guiding dots, equally spaced on the side of the light guiding plate. The optical adhesive layer positioned on the light guiding plate is transparent and has a side pasted on and connected to the panel and the side of the optical adhesive layer is comparatively far away from the light guiding component. This could prevent the optical adhesive from covering the light guiding layer of the light guiding component or prevent the refractive index of the flowing air layer from affecting the light transmission efficiency of the light guiding layer. Thus, the light transmission efficiency of the light guiding plate is raised and the display performance and the optical effect of the display module are raised.
