DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] In order to more clearly illustrate the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Like components in the drawings are denoted by like reference numerals. A person skilled in the art should understand that the content specifically described below is illustrative rather than limiting, and should not limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0031]
[0032] As shown in
[0033] The present disclosure provides a flexible display module, a vehicle-mounted curved-surface display module, and a vehicle to solve the above problems.
[0034] As shown in
[0035] When the flexible display module 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the vehicle-mounted curved-surface display device, as shown in
[0036] In the flexible display module 10 of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 are used to control the viewing angle brightness of different regions, which can be applied to vehicle-mounted display, the angle is changed by the first light control layer 131, the light emission angle of light of the flexible display module 10 is controlled, and the problem that it is easy to form a projection on the windshield 31 by the curved-surface display is solved.
[0037] As shown in
[0038] In a specific example, as shown in
[0039] The structures of the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 of the embodiments of the present disclosure will now be designed,
[0040] In an optional embodiment, as shown in
[0041] In this embodiment, the first light control layer 131 has a first light-transmission portion 1314 and a second light-shielding portion arranged at intervals. When the emergent light of the flexible display module 10 is incident on the first light control layer 131, the emergent light that is smaller than the preset emergent angle range of the flexible display module 10 can pass through the light-transmission portion, the emergent light greater than the preset emergent angle range is blocked by the light shielding portion, and the transmittance of the first light control layer 131 is adjusted by adjusting the angle of the first included angle.
[0042] In an optional embodiment, in a direction from the first light control layer 131 to the second light control layer 132, a first included angle 1 is formed between the first light shielding portion 1313 and a surface of the substrate. In the embodiment, the first light shielding portion 1313 is designed to be inclined by the first included angle 1, and thus the brightness of the angle of view is not designed symmetrically, and in a specific example, the maximum brightness of the angle of view corresponds to 6070, resulting a better effect of light control.
[0043] In a specific example, as shown in
[0044] In an optional embodiment, the end surface and/or the side wall surface, away from the first substrate 131, of the first light shielding portion 1313 1 is formed as a diffuse reflection surface, so that the light reflectivity of the visible light can be reduced through the arrangement.
[0045] In a specific example, the first light control layer 131 is a light control film (LCF), and the light control film of this type can narrow the range of the angles of the emitted light, thereby controlling the angle of the emitted-light to adjust the light.
[0046] In an optional embodiment, as shown in
[0047] In this embodiment, the second light control layer 132 has the second light-transmission portion 1324 and the second light-shielding portion 1323 that are arranged at intervals. When the light emitted from the flexible display module 10 is incident on the second light control layer 132, the emergent light of the flexible display module 10 which is emitted at an angle a smaller than the preset emergent angle range of the flexible display module 10 can pass through the light-transmission portion, the emergent light which is emitted at an angle greater than the preset emergent angle range is blocked by the light-shielding portion, and the transmittance of the second light control layer 132 is adjusted by adjusting the angle of the second included angle.
[0048] In an optional embodiment, in a direction from the first light control layer 131 to the second light control layer 132, the second light shielding portion 1323 forms a second included angle 2 with respect to a surface of the substrate.
[0049] In a specific example, as shown in
[0050] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first included angle 1 is smaller than the second included angle 2, that is, the inclination angles of the first light shielding portion 1313 and the second light shielding portion 1323 of the present embodiment are different, that is, the directions of controlling the light by the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 are opposite. The first light control layer 131 controls the light to propagate away from the windshield 31 to prevent light from being incident on the windshield 31, and the second light control layer 132 controls the light to propagate towards the side close to the windshield 31, thereby increasing the viewing angle brightness of the light incident to the driver and passengers. In a specific example, the second included angle 2 is close to 90, and the light control effect of this angle range is better.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, the end surface and/or the side wall surface of the first light shielding portion 1313 away from the first substrate 1311 are formed as a diffuse reflection surface, so that the light reflectivity of the visible light can be reduced through the arrangement.
[0052] In a specific example, the second light control layer 132 is a light control film (LCF), and the light control film of this type can narrow the range of the angles of the emergent light, thereby controlling the angle of the emergent light to adjust the light.
[0053] In an optional embodiment, as shown in
[0054] Compared with the design of the first included angle al having the fixed value shown in
[0055] In another optional embodiment, in a direction from the first light control layer 131 to the second light control layer 132, the second included angle 2 gradually increases.
[0056] Based on a similar principle, the curvature of the dashboard 32 in the direction away from the windshield 31 is changed, and when the curved surface of the dashboard 32 is located on the side close to the driving seat, the head of the driver needs to be lowered to watch the flexible display panel 12. Thus, the control of the incident light by the second light control layer 132 changes along with the curvature of the curved surface of the dashboard 32 by setting the gradually increasing second included angle 2, so that the light control effect of the second light control layer 132 is improved, and more light of the flexible display panel 12 is incident into the human eye.
[0057] Based on the structures shown in
[0058] In an optional embodiment, as shown in
[0059] Considering that in the integrated structural design of the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132, a difficulty of manufacturing is significant. The first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 are arranged independently in this embodiment. Under this design, in order to avoid bright lines generated between the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 and visible to human eyes due to different light transmittances and light control performances of the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132, the light shielding layer is coated in the spacings between the sidewalls of the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132. Further, since the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 have a certain transmittance, the material of the light shielding layer is also made of a material having a transmittance, thereby avoiding the problem of bright lines, and realizing the integrated display of the display areas corresponding to the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132. In a specific example, the material of the light shielding layer is a gray OCA adhesive, the transmittance is 60%-70%, and the light shielding layer has a good integrated display effect.
[0060] In an optional embodiment, the second light control layer 132 is a polarizer. Different from the foregoing embodiment in which light adjustment is performed by using the second light control layer 132, it is considered that the second light control layer 132 is disposed on a side away from the windshield 31, and light of the flexible display module 10 is not transmitted to the windshield 31. Therefore, in another embodiment, the light of the flexible display panel 12 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is polarized by using the polarizer, causing a lower cost.
[0061] In addition, the polarizer of the embodiment of the present disclosure is only disposed at a position corresponding to the second light control layer 132 and is not stacked with the first light control layer 131, so that the thickness of the flexible display module 10 can be reduced, and the influence on the light transmittance of the flexible display panel 12 under the stack design of the first light control layer 131 and the polarizer can be avoided.
[0062] In an optional embodiment, as shown in
[0063] In a specific example, the stress buffer layer 16 includes a CPI (polyimide flexible material), a UTG (flexible glass), or a transparent optical film, to enhance the overall strength of the flexible display module 10 and reduce the stress impact caused by the partition of the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132.
[0064] In an optional embodiment, the flexible display panel 12 includes an encapsulation layer (not shown in
[0065] Further, in an example of the stress buffer layer 16 shown in
[0066] In another embodiment, the stress buffer layer 16 and the flexible display panel 12 are integrally designed, and an orthographic projection of the stress buffer layer 16 coincides with an orthographic projection of the flexible display panel 12, that is, an area of the stress buffer layer 16 is the same as an area of the flexible display panel 12, to implement an integrated design.
[0067] In an optional embodiment, a protective film 17 is disposed on a surface of a side, away from the support layer 11, of the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132, and an orthographic projection of the protective film 17 on the support layer 11 covers an orthographic projection of the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 on the support layer 11 for protecting the display module.
[0068] Based on the above design, the flexible display module 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure uses the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 to control the viewing angle brightness of different areas, can be applied to vehicle-mounted display, controls the light emission angle of the flexible display module 10 by changing the angle by using the first light control layer 131, solves the problem that the curved-surface display is easy to generate a projection on the windshield 31, and increases the light incident to the human eyes through the second light control layer 132 to improve the visual effect of drivers and passengers at different positions.
[0069] A second embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vehicle-mounted curved-surface display module 20, as shown in
[0070]
[0071] It should be noted that when the curved-surface display module is applied to the curved-surface display, the protective film 17 is torn off and is attached to the film layer of the vehicle-mounted curved-surface display module 20.
[0072] In an optional embodiment, as shown in
[0073] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the texture coating layer 21 has a semi-transparent characteristic, and on the one hand, the texture coating layer 21 can cover the visual difference caused by the optical characteristic difference between the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132. On the other hand, the surface of the light-emitting display device of the flexible display panel 12 has an evaporation metal cathode, the reflectivity is high, the surface reflectivity of the flexible display panel 12 can be reduced by using the asymmetrically designed first light control layer 131, the reflectivity of the metal cathode is further reduced under the coverage of the semi-transparent texture coating layer 21, and the reflectivity of the vehicle-mounted curved surface display can be effectively reduced.
[0074] In an optional embodiment, a surface texture of a side of the texture coating layer 21 away from the flexible display module 10 is consistent with a texture of the curved surface. For example, the texture coating layer 21 may have metallic luster, wood veneer texture, other line textures, etc. which are consistent with the texture of the curved surface of the dashboard 32, ensuring the surface consistency of the dashboard 32 and the texture coating layer 21, and improving the visual effect inside the vehicle 30.
[0075] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle-mounted curved-surface display module 20 includes: a first working state in which the texture coating layer 21 displays a picture generated in a display mode of the flexible display module 10; a second working state in which the texture coating layer 21 displays the texture of the texture coating layer 21 in the screen-off mode of the flexible display module 10.
[0076] Based on the foregoing embodiments, the texture of the texture coating layer 21 in the embodiment of the present disclosure is consistent with the structure of the dashboard 32, and the light of the flexible display module 10 can pass through the texture coating layer 21 to be incident to the human eyes by using the characteristic that the texture coating layer 21 has a transmittance, so as to change the different working states of the vehicle-mounted curved-surface display module 20.
[0077] For example, in the first working state, the flexible display panel 12 of the flexible display module 10 displays a picture which passes through the first light control layer 131, the second light control layer 132, and the texture coating layer 21 above, and then enters the human eye to implement a display function. In the second working state, the flexible display panel 12 is in a screen-off state and does not emit light, and at this time, the texture of the texture coating layer 21 itself is observed by the human eye, thereby achieving the purpose of hiding the flexible display module 10.
[0078] In an optional embodiment, the vehicle-mounted curved-surface display module 20 further includes an adhesive layer 22, for example, an OCA or an OCR adhesive, located between the flexible display module 10 and the texture coating layer 21, so as to fix the two, and when the adhesive layer 22 is directly fixed to the first light control layer 131 and the surface directly away from one side of the second light control layer 132 away from the support layer 11, a height difference between the end surfaces of the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 (away from the surface of the support layer 11) can be smoothened by using the adhesive layer 22, thereby ensuring a display effect.
[0079] Further, the vehicle-mounted curved-surface display module 20 further includes a bearing layer located between the adhesive layer 22 and the texture coating layer 21 for bearing the texture coating layer 21, and in a specific example, the bearing layer is made of a transparent material to ensure light transmittance and further ensure a display effect.
[0080] Based on the vehicle-mounted curved-surface display module 20 and the flexible display module 10 of the foregoing embodiments of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the flexible display panel corresponding to the first light control layer 131 and the flexible display panel corresponding to the second light control layer 132 in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be controlled by the controller to be displayed as separately controlled display windows, thereby realizing split-screen display, avoiding gaps generated by the spliced screen, and improving the space utilization rate and the display effect.
[0081] Another embodiment of the present disclosure provides a vehicle 30, as shown in
[0082] The dashboard 32 includes: a horizontal table, wherein an end portion of the horizontal table extends to intersect with the windshield 31, wherein a third included angle 3 is formed between the windshield 31 and a horizontal plane of the horizontal table; a curved-surface table connected to the horizontal table, wherein a curved surface of the curved-surface table extends in a direction away from the windshield 31; a support layer 11 of the flexible display module 10, which is fixed on the curved surface of the curved-surface table, wherein the first light control layer 131 is closer to the horizontal table than the second light control layer 132.
[0083] In the vehicle 30 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the vehicle-mounted flexible display module 10 is in the first working state, the first light control layer 131 and the second light control layer 132 are used to adjust the light, the problem that the curved surface display can easily form a projection on the windshield 31 can be addressed, and differential requirement for different viewing angle brightness at different regions by the curved surface display on the same display module can be satisfied. The vehicle-mounted flexible curved-surface display module of the embodiment of the present disclosure can realize the function of multi-screen interaction on the same curved-surface module, so that the requirement of the whole vehicle design on the number of display modules can be reduced, gaps generated by multi-screen splicing are eliminated, and the integrated design of the dashboard 32 area is facilitated.
[0084] In an optional embodiment, the supporting layer 11 of the flexible display module 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is attached to the curved-surface of the dashboard 32, that is to say, the flexible display module 10 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is designed to be directly attached to the dashboard 32 inside the vehicle 30, so that the internal space occupation of the vehicle can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced.
[0085] According to the flexible display module of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first light control layer and the second light control layer are used to control the viewing angle brightness of different regions, which can be applied to vehicle-mounted display, the angle of is changed by the first light control layer, the light emission angle of the flexible display module is controlled, and the problem that the curved-surface display is tend to generate a projection on the windshield is solved.
