Embodiments
(30) As shown in
(31) S1: the curved virtual display layer 11 is obtained by the modeling software, and the display layer 11 is averagely virtually segmented in a transverse direction and a longitudinal direction, respectively, to obtain a plurality of virtual display modules 111. As shown in
(32) Then the size of each virtual display module 111 is calculated, and the method for calculating the size of the virtual display module 111 is as follows. As shown in
(33)
wherein, a.sub.n is the arc length of the lower base of the n.sup.th isosceles trapezoidal cambered surface, a.sub.n+1 is the arc length of the upper base of the n.sup.th isosceles trapezoidal cambered surface, c.sub.n is the arc length of the two legs of the n.sup.th isosceles trapezoidal cambered surface, l.sub.n is the length of the latitude line where the lower base of the n.sup.th isosceles trapezoidal cambered surface is located, l.sub.n+1 is the length of the latitude line where the upper base of the n.sup.th isosceles trapezoidal cambered surface is located. x is the number of transverse average segmentation of the spherical screen, y is the number of longitudinal average segmentation of the spherical screen, l.sub.1 is the length of the longitude line of the spherical screen.
(34) Through the above method, the sizes of the display modules 111 above the equatorial plane between each two longitude lines can be obtained, and because of the up-down symmetry of the spherical screen, the sizes of the display modules 111 under the equatorial plane can also be obtained. In this way, the sizes of all virtual display modules 111 can be obtained.
(35) S2: the size of the virtual display module 111 is mapped onto the size of the materialized display module 111, and the size of all the virtual display modules 111 correspond to the planar size of the materialized display module 111. Specifically, the sizes of all virtual display modules 111 can be proportionally enlarged or reduced to obtain the planar sizes of the materialized display modules 111. Of course, the size of the virtual display module 111 can also be directly used as the planar size of the materialized display module 111. As shown in
(36) S3: in order to facilitate adjusting the display module 111, as shown in
(37) S4: the virtual adjustment layer 12 is constructed, and the adjustment layer 12 includes a plurality of virtual panels 121, each virtual panel corresponds to the plurality of arrayed virtual display modules 111, and the size of the virtual panel 121 is identical with the size of the plurality of corresponding virtual display modules 111.
(38) It can be seen from the above that, in order to facilitate processing, the display module 111 of the present invention is designed as a flat panel structure, and the size of the virtual display module 111 can be directly used as the planar size of the flat panel structure. Then, the edges of the flat panel structure are reduced, and meanwhile the adjustment protrusions 1111 are arranged on the edges. Although the flat panel structure can be adjusted by reducing the edges and arranging the adjustment protrusions 1111, there will still be errors in the actual installation. When the display modules 111 are installed to the whole display layer 11, the cumulative error may be obvious and still affect the display effect. In order to further improve the installation accuracy and eliminate the cumulative error, in the forming method of the present invention, the installation accuracy of the display module 111 is adjusted by means of the adjustment layer 12, that is to say, the display module 111 is first installed on the panel 121 rather than being installed directly on the frame of the curved surface. Specifically, the plurality of arrayed display modules 111 are correspondingly installed on one panel 121, which is relatively easy to adjust the installation accuracy of the display modules 111 within the range of the one panel 121. After that, the installation of the panel 121 is further adjusted. As known that if the panel 121 also adopts the curved surface structure in the manufacturing process, the machining accuracy thereof is uncontrollable, so the panel 121 of the present invention also adopts a flat panel structure. The present invention, however, does not directly convert the size of the virtual panel 121 into the size of the materialized panel 121. Because the area of the panel 121 is relatively large, the size of the virtual panel 121 that is directly converted into the size of the materialized panel 121 will cause the relatively large error in the direct conversion process. Therefore, in the design of the panel 121 of the present invention, the size of the virtual panel 121 is first obtained, and then multiplied by the derivation coefficient of converting the curve to the planar line to obtain the planar size of the materialized panel 121. The planar size of the materialized panel 121 is the true size of the panel 121. The size error of the panel 121 obtained by such conversion is relatively small, and the cumulative error will be small accordingly.
(39) According to one embodiment of the present invention, the virtual panel 121 is also an isosceles trapezoidal cambered surface. One virtual panel 121 corresponds to the display modules 111 of the M*N arrays, wherein M is the number of columns and N is the number of rows. The size of the virtual panel 121 is: A.sub.b=M*a.sub.n, A.sub.t=M*a.sub.n+1, C=N*c.sub.n, wherein, A.sub.b is the arc length of the lower base of the virtual panel 121, A.sub.t is the arc length of the upper base of the virtual panel 121, and C is the arc length of the two legs of the virtual panel 121.
(40) For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in
(41) S5: the size of the virtual panel 121 is mapped onto the size of the materialized panel 121, and the size of all virtual panels 121 is multiplied by the derivation coefficient of converting the curve to the planar line to obtain the planar size of the materialized panel 121.
(42) According to one embodiment of the present invention, the arc lengths of the lower base, the upper base and the two legs of the virtual panel 121 are multiplied by the derivation coefficient of converting the curve to the planar line to obtain the planar size of the materialized panel 121. As shown in
(43) Further, as shown in
(44) S6: the materialized display module 111 and the materialized panel 121 are assembled and adjusted to form a complete curved display screen.
(45) The display screen 1 formed by the above method has a small accumulative error, a high assembly accuracy, and a good display effect.
(46) According to the present embodiment, a curved display screen includes the display layer 11 and the adjustment layer 12. The display layer 11 includes a plurality of display modules 111. At least two adjustment protrusions 1111 are arranged on each edge of the display module 111, and the protrusions of the two adjacent display modules 111 corresponds to each other. The adjustment layer 12 includes a plurality of panels 121. Each panel 121 corresponds to a plurality of arrayed display modules 111, and the size of the panel 121 is identical with the size of the plurality of corresponding display modules 111. Each edge of the panel 121 has the concave curve 1211. Therefore, during the practical installation, only four points on the edges of the panels 121 need to touch each other in the splicing process, and a gap is reserved between the panels 121. Since the machining accuracy of the panel 121 cannot be guaranteed, the purpose of reserving the gap is to avoid the mutual interference of the panels 121 due to the large machining error.
(47) If the accuracy of the double-curved surface frame layer 2 can meet the requirements, the panel 121 is optional, and the display module 111 is directly attached on the double-curved surface frame layer 2. In fact, it is necessary to adopt the panel 121 due to the following problems. 1. The accuracy of the double-curved surface frame layer 2 is not controllable enough, and the machining accuracy of the panel 121 is much higher than that of the double-curved surface frame layer 2. A space is reserved in the splicing process of the display surface. 2. The double-curved surface frame layer 2 needs to bear load, so it is designed as a steel structure. Due to the cost, the weight and the spatial configuration, the steel structure cannot be densely arranged, which is not suitable to install display module 111. 3. The processing size of the display module 111 is also limited and cannot be too large. Therefore, the panel 121 becomes a bridge connecting the double-curved surface frame layer 2 and the display module 111.
(48) According to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in
(49) According to one embodiment of the present invention, the image processing unit converts a standard video source into a video suitable for playing on the spherical display screen. Meanwhile, the image processing unit can also play the 3D video, so that the immersive spherical display screen has the 3D playing function. In the present embodiment, the curved display screen may be shaped as a complete spherical surface, a complete ellipsoidal surface, a quasi-spherical surface, a quasi-ellipsoidal surface, an cambered surface obtained by arbitrarily cutting a spherical surface or an ellipsoidal surface, or an irregular display surface obtained by splicing a spherical surface or an ellipsoidal surface with a surface of other shape. The display surface can be on the outer surface of the spherical surface or the ellipsoidal surface, or on the inner surface of the spherical surface or the ellipsoidal surface.
(50) According to one embodiment of the present invention, the image processing unit communicates with the display modules 111 through the control unit, and the control unit includes a plurality of control modules. The control modules are mainly configured to send the display data of each region to the corresponding display module 111 to realize the region-based control of the display modules 111.
(51) According to one embodiment of the present invention, the power supply unit includes a plurality of power supply modules, and the power supply modules are mainly configured to provide power for the display module 111.
(52) In order to facilitate the wiring of the display module 111, as shown in
(53) According to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of sound transmission holes 1116 are arranged between the light-emitting pixels 1115, and the sound transmission hole 1116 can realize multiple functions such as sound transmission, heat dissipation, reducing the weight of the screen and the like. When the audio device is installed on the back surface of the display screen, the sound is timely transmitted from the sound transmission hole 1116 to the audience, which brings a good visual and auditory feeling to the audience and provides a good sense of immersion. The distance between the sound transmission holes 1116 is not limited and may be equally spaced or unequally spaced. The shape of the sound transmission hole 1116 is not limited and may be any machinable shape such as circle, oval, square, trapezoid and others. The sound transmission hole 1116 must penetrate through the front and back sides of the printed circuit board, and the total area of the sound transmission hole 1116 per unit area can achieve at least 3% of the sound transmittance rate of the LED display screen. Preferably, every four adjacent light-emitting pixels 1115 are arranged in a form of rhombus, square or rectangle. In addition, the number of sound transmission holes 1116 between the adjacent pixels may be single or multiple.
