In the drawings:
Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail. Examples of the embodiments will be shown in the drawings, where same or similar reference signs indicate same or similar elements or elements having same or similar functions throughout the description. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary, and they are only intended to explain the disclosure, instead of limiting the protection scope of the application.
In related technology, due to the small size of a wearable display device, a backlight module of a wearable display device is incapable of performing precise partition dimming, thus, the light and shade contrast of images displayed by the wearable display device is not good enough to discriminate detailed differences of images.
The objective of the present disclosure is to provide a backlight module and control method, a display screen and a wear device to enhance the partition dimming performance of a backlight module and improve the light and shade contrast of images displayed by the display device so as to discriminate detailed differences of images.
As shown in
As compared with related technology, in the backlight module provided in the present disclosure, the light source is disposed on a side of the transparent substrate and a plurality of dimming units is disposed on the lower surface of the transparent substrate. Since each dimming unit is used to adjust an emergent intensity of the light, which is incident from said light source into said light guide plate, on the upper surface of said transparent substrate facing away from said dimming units, it enables the backlight module, when applied to a wear device, to set the number of dimming units according to a dimming partition requirement of the wear device such that partition adjustment of emergent light from the transparent substrate can be implemented by adjusting light incident into the transparent substrate using the respective dimming units according to the image demand when displaying an image, thereby enhancing the dimming performance of the backlight module, improving the light and shade contrast of the image displayed by the display device. As a result, detailed differences of images can be easily discriminated and the problem of dimming performance decline of a backlight module caused by a small amount of dimming partitions can be avoided.
A backlight module provided in an exemplary embodiment can be applied to display devices of conventional sizes in related arts, and to small-sized wearable devices. For instance, when a backlight module provided in an exemplary embodiment is applied to a wearable device, the number of dimming units 11 can be set according to the number of dimming partitions 100 of the wearable device, such that light incident into the transparent substrate 10 can be adjusted by using the respective dimming units 11 according to the image demand when displaying an image, and partition adjustment of emergent light from the transparent substrate 10 can be implemented, thereby enhancing the dimming performance of the backlight module. In this way, a good light and shade contrast of the images displayed by the wearable device can be obtained and detailed differences of images can be easily discriminated. As a result, the problem of dimming performance decline of a backlight module caused by a small amount of dimming partitions 100 can be avoided.
It should be understood that in a backlight module provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the light guide plate 1 is equivalent to a light guide sheet in related technology. A face of the transparent substrate 10 in the light guide plate 1 is disposed with a plurality of dimming units 11 thereon and the other face acts as a light exiting face. As shown in
Specifically, in a backlight module provided in an exemplary embodiment, a dimming unit 11 can be implemented in various structures. A detailed description is given hereinafter in combination with
The higher of the squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting element 112, the larger a contact area between the elastic reflecting element 112 and the surface of a transparent substrate 10, and the higher the brightness of emergent light from reflection of the light incident into the transparent substrate 10 by the elastic reflecting element 112; the lower of the squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting element 112, the smaller a contact area between the elastic reflecting element 112 and the surface of a transparent substrate 10, and the lower the brightness of emergent light from reflection of the light incident into the transparent substrate 10 by the elastic reflecting element 112. Said squeezing degree represents a deformation degree of the elastic reflecting element after being squeezed.
In combination with
Step S11: When all elastic reflecting elements 112 are in a non-squeezing state, brightness of light from reflection of the light incident into the transparent substrate 10 by the elastic reflecting elements 112 is inhomogeneous, which results in complexity of adjustment of light brightness.
Thus, a pressure applied by each squeezing unit 111 to corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 needs to be adjusted such that the brightness of light from reflection of the light incident into the transparent substrate 10 by the respective elastic reflecting elements 112 is homogeneous (a homogeneous brightness is called a standard brightness). A squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting elements 112 at this time is used as a reference squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting elements 112, in this way, a correspondence relationship between a reference squeezing degree and brightness of reflected light is established. When each of the squeezing units 111 needs to squeeze corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 in accordance with an image dimming requirement, it only needs to determine a squeezing degree desired by each elastic reflecting element 112 according to a difference between a dimming brightness and the standard brightness.
Step S12: Each squeezing unit 111 squeezes corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 in accordance with an image dimming requirement. Illustratively, as shown in
Step S121: determining a squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting element 112 in each dimming unit 11 according to a correspondence relationship between a squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting element 112 and the brightness of emergent light and an image dimming requirement;
Step S122: making each squeezing unit 111 squeeze corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 according to a squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting elements 112 in each dimming unit 11.
Step S13: the light source provides light to the transparent substrate 10, and light incident into the transparent substrate 10 is reflected by the respective elastic reflecting elements 112 and exits from a surface of the transparent substrate 10 facing away from the plurality of elastic reflecting elements 112.
Specifically, as shown in
The first squeezing unit 1111 is used to squeeze the first group of elastic reflecting elements, the second squeezing unit 1112 is used to squeeze the second group of elastic reflecting elements, the third squeezing unit 1113 is used to squeeze the third group of elastic reflecting elements, the fourth squeezing unit 1114 is used to squeeze the fourth group of elastic reflecting elements, the fifth squeezing unit 1115 is used to squeeze the fifth group of elastic reflecting elements, and the sixth squeezing unit 1116 is used to squeeze the sixth group of elastic reflecting elements.
From
In the sense of partition dimming, after the light adjustment, light intensity at a position of the transparent substrate 10 corresponding to the first group of elastic reflecting elements is the largest, that is, the light brightness is the highest; light intensity at a position of the transparent substrate 10 corresponding to the fourth group of elastic reflecting elements is the second largest, that is, the light brightness is the second highest; and the positions of the transparent substrate 10 corresponding to the other groups of elastic reflecting elements are the smallest, that is, light brightness is the lowest.
Based on the specific implementing process of a backlight module provided in an exemplary embodiment it can be known that, an elastic reflecting element 112 is located between the squeezing surface of the corresponding squeezing unit 111 and the surface of a transparent substrate 10, such that light incident into the transparent substrate 10 can be reflected by the elastic reflecting element 112 and exits from a surface of the transparent substrate 10 facing away from the plurality of elastic reflecting elements 112. Thus, the function of the plurality of elastic reflecting elements 112 is the same as the internal dots of a light guide plate. Each squeezing unit 111 and corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 together form a dimming unit 11, each dimming unit 11 is used to adjust brightness of at least one pixel. The higher the squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting elements 112s, the higher the brightness of emergent light from reflection of the light incident into the transparent substrate 10 by the elastic reflecting elements 112; the lower of the squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting elements 112, the lower the brightness of emergent light from reflection of the light incident into the transparent substrate 10 by the elastic reflecting elements 112. Thus, when dimming of an image is required, a size of a squeezing surface of each squeezing unit 111 and the corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 can be set in accordance with the image dimming requirement to match the number and positions of dimming units 11 with the number and positions of dimming partitions 100. In this way, the dimming performance of the backlight module can be enhanced, and a good light and shade contrast of the image displayed by the display device can be obtained so that detailed differences of images can be easily discriminated, thereby avoiding the problem of dimming performance decline of a backlight module caused by a small amount of dimming partitions 100.
Furthermore, in a backlight module provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, each of the squeezing units 111 can adjust a squeezing degree of corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 independently, which enables each dimming unit 11 to adjust brightness of a corresponding pixel dynamically, thereby achieving the objective of dynamic dimming.
It should be noted that in a non-squeezing state, a coverage area of each elastic reflecting element 112 on said transparent substrate 10 does not exceed a total area of 150 pixels of the display panel used in collaboration with the backlight module. In this state, there may be more elastic reflecting elements 112 on the surface of the transparent substrate 10 opposite to the squeezing units 111, such that more dimming partitions 100 can be formed when the number of elastic reflecting elements 112 corresponding to a squeezing unit 111 is fixed, thereby enhancing the dimming performance of the backlight module. The number of elastic reflecting elements 112 can be set in accordance with the dimming requirement. Preferably, it is ensured there is a distance between any two adjacent elastic reflecting elements 112 so that any two adjacent elastic reflecting elements 112 just do not come into contact in a maximal squeezing state. In this way, the number of elastic reflecting elements 112 can be maximized and partition dimming can be better implemented. Considering that the force of friction between the elastic reflecting elements 112 and the transparent substrate 10 is not great, there might be the problem of displacement of an elastic reflecting element 112 when a squeezing unit 111 squeezes the elastic reflecting element 112, consequently, the squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting element 112 may not be adjusted in accordance with the actual demand although the squeezing unit 111 squeezes the elastic reflecting element 112. Thus, a plurality of elastic reflecting elements 112 can be disposed fixedly on the surface of the transparent substrate 10, and the specific manner can be bonding or other adhesive manners to ensure the positions of the elastic reflecting elements 112 fixed on the surface of the transparent substrate 10, thereby preventing the problem of displacement of an elastic reflecting element 112 when a squeezing unit 111 squeezes the elastic reflecting element 112. The shape of a squeezing surface of the squeezing unit 111 can be rectangular, round or hexagonal.
Considering the squeezing unit 111 squeezing the elastic reflecting element 112 towards the transparent substrate 10, usually a rigid transparent substrate is selected, and a common rigid transparent substrate includes a polymethyl methacrylate (abbreviated as PMMA) substrate or a common inorganic glass substrate.
Furthermore, a plurality of elastic reflecting elements 112 can be arranged on the surface of the transparent substrate 10 uniformly. Considering that the elastic reflecting elements 112 are flattened on the surface of the transparent substrate 10 under the squeezing of the squeezing unit 111, a surface of elastic reflecting element 112 is usually of a curved plane structure in order to avoid abrasion of the transparent substrate 10 when the elastic reflecting elements 112 are squeezed. Specifically, an elastic sphere having a reflective surface can be selected, such as an elastic ellipsoid having a reflective surface or an elastic globe having a reflective surface. The elastic reflecting element 112 made of an elastic material having a reflecting property, such as an elastic reflecting element made of rubber, or an elastic reflecting element made of other elastic polymers. The color of the elastic reflecting element 112 is usually selected as white so that the light reflected from the elastic reflecting element 112 will not present different colors and the purity of color of the light is ensured. The plurality of elastic reflecting elements 112 may have a uniform size or different sizes. However, taking the convenience of manufacturing of the elastic reflecting elements 112 and the controllability of partition dimming into account, the sizes of the plurality of elastic reflecting elements 112 are preferably the same.
It should be understood that, as shown in
Any two adjacent elastic reflecting elements 112 may have a problem of interference under the maximal squeezing state, which results in displacement of the elastic reflecting element 112 being interfered. Thus, any two adjacent elastic reflecting elements 112 should have a gap under the maximal squeezing state to ensure that interference will not occur when any two adjacent elastic reflecting elements 112 are both under the maximal squeezing state and the elastic reflecting elements 112 come into contact with the transparent substrate 10 to the maximal extent under the maximal squeezing state.
Based on the correspondence relationship between the squeezing degree of elastic reflecting elements 112 and brightness of emergent light, the elastic reflecting elements 112 coining into contact with the transparent substrate 10 to the maximal extent under a maximal squeezing state can ensure maximization of an adjusting range of light intensity by the elastic reflecting elements 112.
However, a gap between any two adjacent elastic reflecting elements 112 under a maximal squeezing state cannot be big without a limit. Usually, the gap should make an orthographic projection of the gap on the transparent substrate 10 smaller than an orthographic projection of the elastic reflecting element 112 on the transparent substrate 10. Optimally, a gap that keeps any two adjacent elastic reflecting elements 112 just not coining into contact under a maximal squeezing state is the best.
As shown in
Furthermore, as shown in
a receiving unit 31 connected to a grey scale correction unit 5 and configured to receive a grey scale display voltage;
a voltage setting unit 32 connected to said receiving unit 31 and configured to set a control voltage parameter for each electrically driven pressure head according to said grey scale display voltage;
a pressure setting unit 33 connected to the voltage setting unit 32 and the electrically driven pressure heads and configured to set a pressure for each electrically driven pressure head according to the control voltage parameter of each electrically driven pressure head and to set a driving voltage for each electrically driven pressure head according to the pressure of each electrically driven pressure head, so that each electrically driven pressure head squeezes a corresponding squeezing plate which in turn squeezes an elastic reflecting element 112 to adjust a squeezing degree of the elastic reflecting element 112, thereby implementing precise partition dimming. For example, a squeezing unit 111 comprises a first squeezing unit 1111, a second squeezing unit 1112 . . . , an ith squeezing unit 111i, the pressure setting unit 33 should be connected to the electrically driven pressure head included by the first squeezing unit 1111, the electrically driven pressure head included by the second squeezing unit 1112, . . . and electrically driven pressure head included by the ith squeezing unit 111i.
There is a correspondence relationship between a grey scale voltage included by a grey scale display voltage and a pixel brightness. Each squeezing unit 111 and corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 together form a dimming unit 11, each dimming unit 11 is used to adjust brightness of at least one pixel. Therefore, by using a voltage setting unit 32 to set a control voltage parameter for each electrically driven pressure head according to a grey scale display voltage, the pressure setting unit 33 can control a pressure applied to corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 according to the control voltage parameter of each electrically driven pressure head. In this way, a dimming unit 11 formed by the elastic reflecting elements 112 corresponding to each electrically driven pressure head can be controlled to adjust pixel brightness to ensure the electrically driven pressure heads can squeeze corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 accurately, thereby implementing precise partition dimming of the backlight module.
Specifically, as shown
As shown
a storage module 331 configured to store an initial pressure of each electrically driven pressure head; wherein an initial pressure of each electrically driven pressure head makes brightness of light incident into the transparent substrate 10 homogeneous after being reflected by the elastic reflecting elements 112, wherein an initial pressure of each electrically driven pressure head can be pre-stored in the storage module 331;
a pressure calculating module 332 connected to the voltage setting unit 32 and the storage module 331 and configured to obtain a relative pressure of each electrically driven pressure head according to a control voltage parameter of each electrically driven pressure head and to obtain a pressure of each electrically driven pressure head according to an initial pressure of each electrically driven pressure head and a relative pressure of the corresponding electrically driven pressure head.
From the specific description of the pressure setting unit 33 it can be seen that since a grey scale display voltage is generated after grey scale correction, before grey scale correction, a white balance adjustment needs to be performed, such that the grey scale display voltage is a voltage parameter of a relatively white balance state. Thus, the pressure calculating module 332 obtains a relative pressure of each electrically driven pressure head based on a control voltage parameter of each electrically driven pressure head. Since the storage module 331 stores initial pressure of the electrically driven pressure heads, the initial pressure of the electrically driven pressure heads makes light incident into the transparent substrate 10 exhibit a homogeneous brightness after being reflected by the elastic reflecting elements 112, which is equivalent to a pressure applied by the electrically driven pressure heads to the corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112 in a white balance state. Thus, an actual pressure of each electrically driven pressure head can be obtained based on an initial pressure of each electrically driven pressure head and a relative pressure of the corresponding electrically driven pressure head.
It should be noted that each dimming unit 11 in an embodiment of the present disclosure further comprises an elastic buffering plate 113 disposed on a side of a squeezing plate in proximity to an elastic sphere. A projection area of said elastic buffering plate on said transparent substrate covers a projection area of a squeezing face of said squeezing plate on said transparent substrate, such that buffering can be provided by the elastic buffering plate 113 when the electrically driven pressure head squeezes corresponding elastic reflecting elements 112, thereby avoiding abrasion of the surface of the elastic reflecting elements 112 caused by the electrically driven pressure head when squeezing the elastic reflecting elements 112 directly.
Since any two any two adjacent elastic reflecting elements 112 have a gap under the maximal squeezing state, light may leak from the gap when irradiating onto the elastic reflecting elements 112. To prevent light leakage, said elastic buffering plate 113 has a reflecting function, when the elastic buffering plate 113 forms a reflecting layer relative to the surface of the elastic reflecting elements 112, or the color of the surface can be set as white or silver to enhance the reflecting efficiency. The elastic buffering plate 113 may be made of a rubber material, a polypropylene material or other elastic polymer materials.
An elastic buffering plate 113 in an exemplary embodiment can be a separated type or an integrated type, as long as it can provide certain protection to the elastic reflecting elements 112 while ensuring no light leakage.
When the elastic buffering plate 113 included in the dimming unit 11 in the aforesaid exemplary embodiment has a reflecting function, there is no need to additionally arrange a reflecting plate in the backlight module provided by the exemplary embodiment. In this way, unnecessary waste can be avoided and production cost can be reduced.

Step S233: setting a control voltage parameter of each electrically driven pressure head according to a range of control voltage parameter of each electrically driven pressure head.
Illustratively, assuming that the current dimming unit 11 corresponds to three pixels, then a range of the control voltage parameter of the electrically driven pressure head corresponding to the elastic reflecting elements 112 of the current dimming unit 11 is a range between a maximum value of the grey scale voltage and a minimum value of the grey scale voltage of the three pixels. The control voltage parameter of the electrically driven pressure head corresponding to the elastic reflecting elements 112 of the current dimming unit 11 only needs to be between the maximum value and the minimum value of the grey scale voltage of the three pixels corresponding to the current dimming unit 11. For example, an average value of a sum of the grey scale voltages of the three pixels corresponding to the current dimming unit 11 can be selected as a control voltage parameter of the electrically driven pressure head corresponding to the elastic reflecting elements 112 of the current dimming unit 11.
