In order to demonstrate clearly technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the accompanying drawings in relevant embodiments of the present disclosure will be introduced briefly. It is apparent that the drawings may only relate to some embodiments of the disclosure and not intended to limit the present disclosure.
01—backlight source; 10—base substrate; 100—light adjusting region; 21—first wire; 22—second wire; 30—light emitting element; 41—first common polar line; 42—second common polar line; 51—multiplexer; 52—lead pin; 60—insulating layer; 61—first via hole; 62—second via hole; 70—adhesive layer; 71—solder resist white oil; 200—display panel; 201—backlight assembly.
In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of the embodiments of the disclosure apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiment will be described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the drawings related to the embodiments of the disclosure. It is apparent that the described embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the disclosure. Based on the described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art may obtain other embodiment, without any creative work, which shall be within the scope of the disclosure.
Unless otherwise defined, all the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms, such as “first,” “second,” or the like, which are used in the description and the claims of the present disclosure, are not intended to indicate any sequence, amount or importance, but for distinguishing various components. The terms, such as “comprise/comprising,” “comprise/comprising,” or the like are intended to specify that the elements or the objects stated before these terms encompass the elements or the objects and equivalents thereof listed after these terms, but not preclude other elements or objects. The terms, such as “connect/connecting/connected,” “couple/coupling/coupled” or the like, are not limited to a physical connection or mechanical connection, but may comprise an electrical connection/coupling, directly or indirectly. The terms, “on,” “under,” “left,” “right,” or the like are only used to indicate relative position relationship, and when the position of the object which is described is changed, the relative position relationship may be changed accordingly.
As illustrated above, in a direct type backlight assembly, light emitting elements are usually arranged on a flexible circuit board (FPC) or a printed circuit board (PCB). Because the FPC or the PCB is prone to warpage, the light emitting element at the warpage position cannot emit light, thereby reducing the yield of the backlight assembly.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provides a backlight source and a manufacture method thereof, and a display device, which can solve the problem that the FPC or the PCB in the direct type backlight assembly is warped, resulting that a portion of the light emitting elements cannot emit light.
In the following, the backlight and the manufacture method thereof, and the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
For example, light emitting brightness of at least two light emitting regions is adjustable independently from each other. For example, light emitting brightness of each of the plurality of light emitting regions may be adjustable independently from each other. Hereinafter, the light emitting region 100 may also be referred as a light adjusting region 100. For example, a local dimming technique may be employed to independently adjust the light emitting brightness of the light adjusting region 100 as needed, so as to make the display image have larger light and dark dynamic range and more image details, thereby presenting an image of better quality effects to users. In addition, the light adjusting region 100 corresponding to the display dark region may be controlled not to emit light, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing power consumption.
For example, as illustrated in
For example, in a same light adjusting region 100, first poles of the plurality of light emitting elements 30 are electrically connected to a same first common polar line 41, and second poles of the plurality of light emitting elements 30 are electrically connected to a same second common polar line 42.
For example, the light emitting element 30 may be a micro light emitting element. The micro light emitting element has a size of no more than 100 micrometers, that is, a side length, a diameter, or a maximum extension length in a certain direction of the micro light emitting element 30 is not more than 100 micrometers, and the micro light emitting element may be, for example, a mini-LED or a micro-LED. In this case, the volume of the micro light emitting element is relatively small, and a spacing distance between two adjacent micro light emitting elements may also be set to be small. In this case, the brightness of an overlapping portion of light emitted by the adjacent two micro light emitting elements is equivalent to the brightness of light emitted by a single micro light emitting element, so that the backlight source 01 comprising the plurality of micro light emitting elements is a surface light source with uniform brightness.
For example, the first pole of the above light emitting element 30 may be an anode (indicated by “+”), the second pole is a cathode (indicated by “−”); alternatively, the first pole is a cathode, and the second pole may be an anode. Hereinafter, in order to illustrate conveniently, the case that the first pole of the light emitting element 30 is an anode and the second pole is a cathode is taken as an example to illustrate. In this case, the plurality of light emitting elements 30 in the same light adjusting region 100 realize a common anode through the same first common polar line 41, and realize a common cathode through the same second common polar line 42.
For example, the backlight source 01 further comprises a plurality of first wires 21 and a plurality of second wires 22 arranged on the base substrate 10. For example, the first common polar lines 41 of at least two light adjusting regions 100 are electrically connected to different first wires 21, and the second common polar lines 42 of at least two light adjusting regions 100 are electrically connected to a same second wire 22.
For example, as illustrated in
As seen from the above, a driving circuit for driving the light emitting elements 30 in the light adjusting region 100 to emit light mainly comprises the first wire 21, the second wire 22, the first common polar line 41, and the second common polar line 42. In addition, the above driving circuit is formed on the base substrate 10, and the light emitting element 30, such as the micro light emitting element, is also formed on the base substrate 10. The base substrate 10 may be made of a relatively hard inorganic or organic material, which is less prone to warpage, thereby reducing the probability of contact failure between a portion of the light emitting elements 30 and the above driving circuit, and improving the yield of the backlight source 01.
For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to allow the first poles of the plurality of light emitting elements 30 in the same light adjusting region 100 to be electrically connected to the first common polar line 41, and allow the second poles to be electrically connected to the second common polar line 42, as illustrated in
For example, i light emitting elements 30 in a same row are connected in series. In addition, first poles of the plurality of light emitting elements 30 connected in series of j rows are electrically connected to the first common polar line 41, and second poles are electrically connected to the second common polar line 42. As illustrated in
In addition, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the arrangement method of the plurality of light adjusting regions 100 may be such that the backlight source 01 comprises n×m light adjusting regions 100 as illustrated in
For example, as illustrated in
In addition, second common polar lines 42 of n light adjusting regions 100 in different columns and in a same row are electrically connected to n different second wires 22, respectively.
Second common polar lines 42 of m light adjusting regions 100 in the same column are electrically connected to a same second wire 22.
For example, in some other embodiments, the connection manner of the second wire 22 and the second common polar line 42 may also be such that for m light adjusting regions 100 in the same column, as illustrated in
It should be noted that the above illustration is only an example of the connection manner of the second wire 22 and the second common polar line 42. The present disclosure does not limit the number of the second common polar lines 42 connected to one second wire 22.
For example, in some embodiments, first common polar lines of m light emitting regions 100 in a same column are electrically connected to L different first wires, respectively, and L is a positive integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to m−1; second common polar lines of n light emitting regions in different columns and in a same row are electrically connected to p different second wires, respectively, and p is a positive integer greater than 0 and less than or equal to n−1. In this case, at least two of the m light emitting regions in the same column are connected to a same first wire, and at least two of the n light emitting regions in the same row are connected to a same second wire. The above solution can also achieve adjustment of light emitting brightness of the light emitting region 100.
It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the definitions of rows and columns are interchangeable, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific arrangement direction of rows and columns. For example, when the backlight source 01 is turned, the rows and columns are interchanged.
For example, each second wire 22 is connected to a driving circuit 511, such as a driving IC (Integrated Circuit), for providing a driving voltage to the second pole of the light emitting element 30 through a switching element, such as a multiplexer 51 (MUX). For example, a first terminal of the switching element is electrically connected to the second wire 22, and a second terminal of the switching element is electrically connected to a second driving circuit (such as a driving IC) that provides a driving voltage to the second pole of the light emitting element 30.
For example, where the driving capability of the driving IC is strong, the number of the second common polar lines 42 connected to one second wire 22 may be increased, so that the number of the multiplexers 51 provided on the base substrate 10 can be reduced. Alternatively, in order to reduce the driving capability of the above driving IC to reduce the power consumption, the number of the second common polar lines 42 connected to one second wire 22 may be reduced. In this case, the number of the multiplexers 51 on the base substrate 10 may be increased.
For example, taking one column comprising 24 light adjusting regions 100 as an example, one second wire 22 may be configured to be connected to second common polar lines 42 of four light adjusting regions 100. In this case, six second wires 22 are required for the light adjusting regions 100 of each column. In addition, six multiplexers 51 respectively connected to the six second wires 22 need to be arranged on the base substrate 10.
Alternatively, in some examples, one second wire 22 may be provided to be connected to second common polar lines 42 of three light adjusting regions 100. In this case, eight second wires 22 are required for the light adjusting regions 100 of each column. In addition, eight multiplexers 51 respectively connected to the eight second wires 22 need to be arranged on the base substrate 10.
For example, in some embodiments, the backlight source 01 further comprises a plurality of lead pins 52 electrically connected to the first wires 21 on the base substrate 10. For example, the lead pin 52 is electrically connected to a driving circuit 521 that provides a driving voltage to the first pole of the light emitting element 30, for example, the lead pin 52 is electrically connected to a driving IC that provides a driving voltage to the first pole of the light emitting element 30.
For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the plurality of light emitting regions 100 are arranged in an array, as illustrated in
Based on the above, where the brightness of each light adjusting region 100 is independently adjusted, the driving IC connected to each lead pin 52 sequentially provides voltages to the first common polar lines 41 of the light adjusting regions 100 of each row through the first wires 21 connected to the driving IC, so as to select the light adjusting regions 100 row by row.
Next, pulse width modulation (PWM) signals capable of adjusting brightness are provided to different second wires 22, so as to provide the PWM signal to the second common polar line 42 of each of the light adjusting regions 100 in the selected one row. Because the PWM signal received by the second common polar line 42 of each light adjusting region 100 is provided by an independent second wire 22, by adjusting the PWM signals received by the second common polar lines 42 of different light adjusting regions 100, light emitting brightness of each of the light adjusting regions 100 in the selected one row can be independently adjusted.
For example, the less the number of light emitting elements 30 in one light adjusting region 100 is, the greater the number of light adjusting regions 100 comprised in the whole backlight source 01 is, the higher the precision of the region light adjusting of the backlight source 01 is, and the more complicated the adjusting process is. Therefore, the number of the light emitting elements 30 comprised in one light adjusting region 100 may be selected according to the requirements for the light adjusting precision of the backlight source 01.
For example, in some embodiments, as illustrated in
It should be noted that the length of the first wire 21 refers to a size from a terminal of the first wire 21 connected to the first common polar line 41 to a terminal of the first wire 21 connected to the lead pin 52. In this case, the line width of the first wire 21 connected to the first common polar line 41 of the light emitting region 100 that is far away from the lead pin 52 is larger than the line width of the first wire 21 connected to the first common polar line 41 of the light emitting region 100 that is close to the lead pin 52. The larger the line width of the first wire 21 is, the smaller the line resistance of the first wire 21 is. Therefore, in the case where currents provided by the driving IC connected to each lead pin are same, magnitudes of currents received by the first wires 21 connected to the first common polar lines 41 of the light adjusting regions 100 at different positions with respect to the lead pin 52 are substantially same, so that the precision of the region light adjusting can be improved where the light emitting brightness of each light adjusting 100 is adjusted.
For example, in the case where currents provided by the driving ICs connected to the lead pins are same, in order to further reduce the difference of the currents received by the first wires 21 connected to the first common polar lines 41 of the light adjusting regions 100 at different positions with respect to the lead pin 52, and allow the currents received by the first wires 21 to be the same, each of the first wires 21 may be configured by equal resistance matching.
For example, a ratio of the line width W to the length L of any two first wires 21 is the same. Taking m first wires 21 respectively connected to the first common polar lines 41 of the m light adjusting regions 100 in a first column as an example, from top to bottom, resistances of the m first wires 21 Rs×L1/W1=Rs×L2/W2=Rs×L3/W3= . . . Rs×Lm/Wm. Where Lm is a length of the mth first wire 21, Wm is a line width of the mth first wire 21, and Rs is a square resistance of the first wire 21 with a certain thickness.
Hereinafter, the arrangement manner of the first wire 21, the second wire 22, the first common polar line 41, and the second common polar line 42 is illustrated in detail.
For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in
A material for forming the first common polar line 41 and the second common polar line 42 may be a metal material, such as metal aluminum or metal copper, or an alloy material thereof.
For example, in order to allow the connection of the first common polar line 41 and the second common polar line 42 to the base substrate 10 to be better, the backlight source 01 further comprises an adhesive layer 70, the adhesive layer 70 is between the base substrate 01 and the first common polar line 41 (or the second common polar line 42), and therefore the first common polar line 41 and the second common polar line 42 are bonded to the base substrate 10 via the adhesive layer 70.
It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the patterning process may comprise a photolithography process, or comprise a photolithography process and an etching process, and may further comprise other processes such as printing process, inkjet process, and so on for forming a predetermined pattern. The photolithography process comprises processes of film formation, exposure, development, and so on, and forms patterns by using a photoresist, a mask, an exposure machine, and so on. For example, a corresponding patterning process may be selected according to a structure to be formed in embodiments of the present disclosure.
For example, one patterning process in the embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated as an example that an expected pattern is finally obtained by forming different exposure regions using one mask and exposure process, and then performing multiple removal processes, such as an etching process, an ashing process, and so on, on the different exposure regions.
For example, the first common polar line 41 (or the second common polar line 42) and the first wire 21 are in different layers. In order to allow the first common polar line 41 (or the second common polar line 42) and the first wire 21 to be arranged in differently layers, as illustrated in
For example, a material of the above insulating layer 60 may be an insulating organic material or an insulating inorganic material, such as silicon nitride.
For example, in order to enable the first wire 21 to be electrically connected to the first common polar line 41, the insulating layer 60 is provided with a plurality of first via holes 61. The first wire 21 is electrically connected to the first common polar line 41 through the first via hole 61.
For example, in some embodiments of the present application, as illustrated in
For example, a material forming the first wire 21 and the second wire 22 may be a metal material, such as metal aluminum or metal copper, or an alloy material thereof.
In this case, as illustrated in
It should be noted that the above embodiments are illustrated by taking the first wire 21 and the second wire 22 being in a same layer and made of a same material as an example. In addition, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first wire 21 and the second wire 22 may be arranged in different layers, that is, another insulating layer is arranged between the first wire 21 and the second wire 22. Alternatively, a part of the first wires 21 and the other part of the first wires 21 of all the first wires 21 may also be arranged in different layers. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first wire and the first common polar line may be arranged in a same layer, and the second wire and the second common polar line are arranged in a same layer, and the first wire and the second wire are arranged in different layers. In some embodiments, the first wire and the first common polar line may be arranged in different layers, and the second wire and the second common polar line are arranged in a same layer. Alternatively, the first wire and the first common polar line are arranged in a same layer, and the second wire and the second common polar line are arranged in different layers. The present disclosure does not limit the specific arrangement manner of each wire and the common polar line. In comparison, the solution of the first wire 21 and the second wire 22 being in a same layer and made of a same material, and the first common polar line 41 and the second common polar line 42 being in a same layer and made of a same material can allow the backlight source 01 to have a thinner thickness, which is beneficial to the ultra-thin design of the display device.
For example, as illustrated in
For example, the solder resist white oil 71 is provided with via holes for exposing pads, so that the first pole and the second pole of the light emitting element 30 can be electrically connected to the pads through the via holes. The pads are connected to the driving circuit that drives the light emitting elements 30, and therefore the light emitting elements 30 are driven to emit light by the above driving circuit.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a display device. As illustrated in
It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the display device may be any product or component having a display function, such as a display, a television, a digital photo frame, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or the like. The display device has the same technical effects as the backlight source 01 provided in the above embodiments, and details are not described here again.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a manufacture method of a backlight source, which comprises: providing a base substrate, and dividing the base substrate into a plurality of light emitting regions; and forming a plurality of light emitting elements, a first common polar line, and a second common polar line in at least one of the light emitting regions. In a same light emitting region, first poles of the plurality of light emitting elements are electrically connected to the first common polar line, and second poles of the plurality of light emitting elements are electrically connected to the second common polar line. Hereinafter, the light emitting region may also be referred as a light adjusting region.
For example, in some embodiments, as illustrated in
Step S101: as illustrated in
It should be noted that in order to increase the adhesion between the first common polar line 41 and the second common polar line 42 made of a metal material and the base substrate 10, before the above step S101, an adhesive layer 70 may be formed on the base substrate 10.
Step S102: on the base substrate on which the above structure is formed, as illustrated in
Step S103: on the base substrate on which the above structure is formed, as illustrated in
For example, in some embodiments, in order to protect the first wire 21, the second wire 22, and so on, step S104 for forming a solder resist white oil may be selectively performed.
Step S104, on the base substrate on which the above structure is formed, a solder resist white oil as illustrated in
Step S105: a plurality of light emitting elements 30 are formed in each of the light adjusting regions 100.
