Referring to
As illustrated in
In implementations of the disclosure, the multiple light-emitting elements 12 are arranged on the lamp panel 14 at intervals of a preset distance.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the surface light source may be a concentric-circular surface light source. Specifically, each light-emitting element 12 on the lamp panel 14 rotates to form a halo, and multiple halos formed by rotation of the multiple light-emitting elements 12 on the lamp panel 14 have the same center, thereby forming the concentric-circular surface light source.
It can be understood that, in the backlight source 10, more light-emitting elements 12 on the lamp panel 14 are driven to emit light, and the surface light source is brighter. Accordingly, more light-emitting elements 12 are disposed on the lamp panel 14 and more evenly distributed, i.e., the preset distance is smaller, and light exited is more even.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the lamp panel 14 may be a strip-shaped or panel-shaped structure, and the lamp panel 14 may be a Metal Core Printed Circuit Board (MCPCB). Since the MCPCB has characteristics of good viscoelastic performance, strong thermal aging resistance, and bearing relatively great mechanical stress and thermal stress, the lamp panel 14 made of an MCPCB can make a structure of the backlight source 10 more stable, which is beneficial to prolonging a service life of the backlight source 10. It can be understood that, the lamp panel 14 may also be other types of PCBs, as long as it is ensured that the lamp panel 14 can achieve its function under high-speed rotation, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the multiple light-emitting elements 12 may be evenly distributed on the lamp panel 14 at intervals of the preset distance. When the multiple light-emitting elements 12 rotate at the preset rotation rate and are in a light-emitting state, a surface light source with even light emission can be obtained. In an implementation of the disclosure, the multiple light-emitting elements 12 may be arranged in an array on the lamp panel 14 at intervals of the preset distance, and electrically connected to the lamp panel 14.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the transmission member 16 includes two opposite ends, where one end of the transmission member 16 is fixedly connected to the lamp panel 14, and the other end of the transmission member 16 is rotatably connected to a driving assembly 50 (see
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the light-emitting element 12 has a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode may be an anode of the light-emitting element 12, and the second electrode may be a cathode of the light-emitting element 12, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the light-emitting element 12 may be a mini Light-Emitting Diode (LED).
It can be understood that, whether the light-emitting element 12 emits light and the brightness of the light-emitting element 12 during light emission are controlled and adjusted by a backlight driving circuit 60 (see
The transmission member 16 may also be electrically connected to the light-emitting elements 12 and the backlight driving circuit 60, to make the backlight driving circuit drive selective partition light emission of the light-emitting elements 12. Specifically, the transmission member 16 is provided with multiple concentric-circular connectors 70 (see
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, first electrodes of the multiple light-emitting elements 12 each are electrically connected to the same concentric-circular connector 70 on the transmission member 16, and the first electrodes of the multiple light-emitting elements 12 are electrically connected to a first power-supply of the backlight driving circuit 60 through the concentric-circular connector 70. Second electrodes of the multiple light-emitting elements 12 each are electrically connected to a correspondingly concentric-circular connector 70 on the transmission member 16, and the second electrodes of the multiple light-emitting elements 12 each are electrically connected to a second power-supply of the backlight driving circuit 60 through the concentric-circular connectors 70.
Furthermore, the backlight driving circuit 60 can selectively control the second electrodes of the light-emitting elements 12 to be electrically connected to or disconnected from the second power-supply, to drive selective partition light emission of the light-emitting elements 12. A voltage of the first power-supply is greater than that of the second power-supply, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the concentric-circular connectors 70 may be arranged around an external peripheral side surface of the rotation column. Due to connectivity of the concentric-circular connectors 70, i.e., the concentric-circular connectors 70 are arranged around the peripheral side surface of the rotation column, when the lamp panel 14 rotates along with the rotation column, the light-emitting elements 12 can be stably electrically connected to the backlight driving circuit 60 through the concentric-circular connectors 70.
In implementations of the disclosure, since each of the light-emitting elements 12 at two ends of the lamp panel 14 can provide backlight, the preset rotation rate is greater than or equal to 12 Hz to avoid occurrence of flickering. It can be understood that the preset rotation rate may also be adjusted according to actual use conditions, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
Since there are a large number of light-emitting elements 12 on the lamp panel 14, in order to clearly illustrate a connection relationship between the concentric-circular connectors 70 and the light-emitting elements 12, for example, nine light-emitting elements 12 are disposed on the lamp panel 14, the transmission member 16 is a rotation column, and the following describes the connection relationship between the light-emitting elements 12 and the transmission member 16.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the nine light-emitting elements 12 are evenly arranged at intervals on the lamp panel 14, the lamp panel 14 is fixedly connected to the rotation column, and the rotation column is rotatably connected to the driving assembly 50. Also, ten concentric-circular connectors 70 are disposed on the rotation column, that is, the number of concentric-circular connectors 70 is one more than that of light-emitting elements 12.
To clearly distinguish the ten concentric-circular connectors and the nine light-emitting elements 12, the ten concentric-circular connectors are respectively denoted as a first concentric-circular connector to a tenth concentric-circular connector, and the nine light-emitting elements 12 are respectively denoted as a first light-emitting element to a ninth light-emitting element. In an exemplary implementation, the first concentric-circular connector electrically connects first electrodes of the nine light-emitting elements 12 to the first power-supply of the backlight driving circuit 60, and the second concentric-circular connector to the tenth concentric-circular connector electrically connect second electrodes of the nine light-emitting elements 12 to the second power-supply of the backlight driving circuit 60, respectively.
In this case, the first electrodes of the first light-emitting element to the ninth light-emitting element each are electrically connected to the first concentric-circular connector, so that the first electrodes of the nine light-emitting elements 12 are electrically connected to the first power-supply of the backlight driving circuit 60. The second electrodes of the first light-emitting element to the ninth light-emitting element are electrically connected to the second concentric-circular connector to the ninth concentric-circular connector in one-to-one correspondence, so that the second electrodes of the nine light-emitting elements 12 are electrically connected to the second power-supply of the backlight driving circuit 60.
The first electrode may be an anode of the light-emitting element 12, the second electrode may be a cathode of the light-emitting element 12, and a voltage of the first power-supply may be greater than that of the second power-supply, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
In implementations of the disclosure, it can be understood that, the lamp panel 14 rotates at the high speed, and partition adjustment of on/off or brightness/darkness of different light-emitting elements 12 is performed according to positions of the different light-emitting elements 12, which can achieve large-area backlight with a small number of light-emitting elements, thereby effectively reducing required costs and power consumption of the light-emitting elements 12.
Also, referring to
In implementations of the disclosure, both X and N are positive integers greater than or equal to 1. When X is an integer greater than 1, N may be 20 to 30 times X. For example, when X is equal to 3, N may be 40, 50, 60, 63, 69, 75, 80, 90, etc. It can be understood that, X may also be 5, 7, 8, etc., and in this case, N has a corresponding new value in the foregoing value range, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
In implementations of the disclosure, the backlight driving circuit 60 can selectively control part of the light-emitting elements 12 to emit light, so that different regions of the display panel 30 corresponding to these light-emitting elements 12 can emit different degrees of light. The lamp panel 14 rotatably drives rotation of the light-emitting elements 12 to obtain the surface light source, which can greatly reduce costs of separately controlling light emission at different positions of the display panel 30. That is, compared with achieving light emission at different positions of a display region by separately controlling multiple light-emitting elements, in the disclosure, a small number of light-emitting elements 12 are required, and different degrees of light emission at different positions of a display region (having the same size as the display region mentioned above) can be achieved by separately controlling light emission of a small number of light-emitting elements 12, thereby greatly reducing the costs of separately controlling light emission of the light-emitting elements 12 and costs of layout of the light-emitting elements 12.

In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the display device 100 may further include other elements or assemblies, for example, a power-supply module, a signal processor module, a signal sensing module, etc., which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
Based on the same inventive concept, a backlight module 20 is further provided in the disclosure. As illustrated in
In implementations of the disclosure, a distance between the optical regulating assembly 22 and the light-emitting elements 12 is required to ensure rotation of the lamp panel 14 and the light-emitting elements 12. It can be understood that the optical regulating assembly 22 is spaced apart from the at least one backlight source 10 by a preset distance. In this way, on the one hand, when the light-emitting elements 12 are driven to emit light, heat generated by the light-emitting elements 12 will not affect processing of the optical regulating assembly 22 on light emitted from the at least one backlight source 10. On the other hand, it is possible to avoid that the lamp panel 14 and the light-emitting elements 12 thereon rotating at the high speed collide with the optical regulating assembly 22, thereby avoiding that structural safety of the display device 100 is adversely affected. In addition, a support assembly 24 is used to fix the optical regulating assembly 22. Even if the optical regulating assembly 22 collapses, the optical regulating assembly 22 will not fall onto the at least one backlight source 10 rotating at the high speed, thereby effectively improving structural stability and safety of the display device 100.
In implementations of the disclosure, the optical regulating assembly 22 may include one or more of an optical film, a diffusion sheet, a reflection sheet, and a light guide plate. The optical regulating assembly 22 is configured to regulate a light-exiting angle and light-exiting quality of the at least one backlight source 10, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the back panel 28 includes a bottom panel (not illustrated) and side panels (not illustrated). The side panels are connected to the bottom panel, for example, the side panels are connected to an edge of a periphery of the bottom panel. Therefore, the side panels are connected to the bottom panel to define a hollow back panel, that is, the back panel 28 has an accommodation space. The optical regulating assembly 22 and the display panel 30 are received in the accommodation space of the back panel 28, and the display panel 30 is disposed at a side of the optical regulating assembly 22 away from the at least one backlight source 10.
As illustrated in
In an implementation of the disclosure, when the backlight module 20 includes one backlight source 10, the drive assembly 50 includes a driving motor 52 (see
In another implementation of the disclosure, when the backlight module 20 includes multiple backlight sources 10, the driving assembly 50 may include multiple driving motors 52. When the driving assembly 50 includes the multiple driving motors 52, each of the driving motors 52 is rotatably connected to an end of a corresponding transmission member 16 away from the lamp panel 14. Each driving motor 52 is configured to drive a corresponding transmission member 16 to rotate at the preset rotation rate, to make this transmission member 16 drive rotation of a lamp panel 14 of a corresponding backlight source 10.
In another implementation of the disclosure, when the backlight module 20 includes multiple backlight sources 10, the driving assembly 50 may further include a gear transmission set 54 and a driving motor 52 (see
A rotation speed of each gear of the gear transmission set 54 is determined according to specifically actual situations, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
It can be understood that, with a combination of the gear transmission set 54 and the driving motor 52, the gears mesh with each other to drive rotation of the multiple lamp panels 14, which is beneficial to ensuring that the multiple lamp panels 14 rotate at the same rotation speed, thereby ensuring a constant phase difference and avoiding collision.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the driving motor 52 may be an electric motor, such as a servo driving motor.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the light-emitting element 12 may be a blue light-emitting element. The optical regulating assembly 22 may further include a quantum dot (QD) film, where the QD film is used to convert blue light emitted by the light-emitting element 12 into white light.

As illustrated in
When the interval between the rotation axes of two adjacent backlight sources 10 is √{square root over (2)} times the rotation radius of the backlight source 10, a maximum effective display region (i.e., a region defined by curve L1 in
It can be understood that the lamp panel 14 includes two sets of two opposite surfaces. The rotation axis of rotation of the backlight source 10 driven by the transmission member 16 is a normal passing through a center of a surface of the lamp panel 14 and facing the light-emitting element 12. Meanwhile, a region of the surface light source formed by rotation of the backlight source 10 is a region defined by curve Si in
It can be understood that the region of the surface light source formed by rotation of the backlight source 10 is in a shape of circle, and a radius of the circle is the rotation radius.
In implementations of the disclosure, each backlight source 10 forms a partition-controlled surface light source, or multiple backlight sources 10 cooperatively form a partition-controlled surface light source. In this case, the backlight driving circuit 60 of the backlight module 20 can selectively control part of the light-emitting elements 12 of each backlight source to emit light, so that the backlight module 20 can emit different degrees of light at different positions. That is, the number of backlight sources 10 for the partition-controlled surface light source can be determined according to actual situations, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
In implementations of the disclosure, the interval between the rotation axes of two adjacent backlight sources 10 is set to be greater than the rotation radius of the backlight source 10, and less than or equal to √{square root over (2)} times the rotation radius of the backlight source 10. When backlight sources 10 rotate at the preset rotation rate, regions of surface light sources formed by rotation of two adjacent backlight sources 10 are intersected, which is beneficial to further improving display efficiency of the light-emitting elements 12, reaching light brightness required by the display device 100 with a small number of light-emitting elements 12, and reducing power consumption and manufacturing costs of the display device 100.
It needs to be noted that, when the interval between the rotation axes of two adjacent backlight sources 10 is larger than √{square root over (2)} times the rotation radius of the backlight source 10, there is a vacant space between regions of surface light sources formed by rotation of two adjacent backlight sources 10, causing dark shadow in a display region of the display panel 30 corresponding to the vacant space, and further adversely affecting a display effect.

The display panel 30 is disposed at a side of the optical regulating assembly 22 away from the structural cover 27. The structural cover 27, the optical regulating assembly 22, the support assembly 24, and the display panel 30 are received in the back panel 28.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the structural cover 27 may be made of an optical glass material, or made of an optical glass material and a steel mesh, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.

In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the number of guiding blocks 17 may be one, two, three, or any other numbers, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
In implementations of the disclosure, rotation of the guiding block 17 can make flow of air, so that the heat generated by the display panel 30 flows to the outside of the display device 300 along with the air, to achieve air-cooled cooling.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the display device 300 may define an opening, where the opening is configured to dissipate heat. In this case, the heat generated by the display panel 30 flows to the opening through the guiding block 17, and then is blown out of the display device 300, to achieve air-cooled cooling.
In a specific implementation of the disclosure, the guiding block 17 may be in a wedge shape, a slope shape, or the like, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.

S20, the driving assembly 50 drives the lamp panel 14 to rotate at the preset rotation rate, and the backlight driving circuit 60 of the display device selectively drives the multiple light-emitting elements 12 on the lamp panel 14 for partition light emission.
In implementations of the disclosure, the backlight module 20 may include the backlight driving circuit 60. The backlight driving circuit 60 is configured to drive, according to brightness information, timing, and position information corresponding to the light-emitting elements 12, the light-emitting elements 12 to selectively emit light, and control light brightness of the light-emitting elements 12. Meanwhile, the driving assembly 50 is configured to drive a corresponding lamp panel 14 to rotate at the preset rotation rate according to the timing and position information of the light-emitting elements 12, to further make the light-emitting elements 12 rotate at the preset rotation rate along with the lamp panel 14.
The preset rotation rate is greater than or equal to 12 Hz, which is not specifically limited in the disclosure.
S30, the display panel 30 displays an image corresponding to partition light emission, according to the partition light emission of the light-emitting elements 12 on the lamp panel 14.
In implementations of the disclosure, the display panel 30 includes an Array Substrate (AS), a color film substrate, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the AS and the color film substrate. A corresponding electric field is generated between the AS and the color film substrate according to image data to-be-displayed, to control deflection angles of liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer, so that light with corresponding brightness is exited for image display.
In an implementation of the disclosure, the display panel 30 may be an LCD panel.
In this case, the backlight source 10 of the backlight module 20 provides for the display panel 30 light for display, and the display panel 30 performs image display by emitting corresponding light according to the image data to-be-displayed.
To sum up, in the backlight source, the backlight module, the display device, and the method for partition control of the disclosure, the backlight source includes the lamp panel 14 and the multiple light-emitting elements 12 disposed on the lamp panel 14. The driving assembly 50 is configured to drive the light-emitting elements 12 to rotate at the high speed, and the backlight driving circuit 60 is configured to adjust on/off or brightness/darkness of different light-emitting elements 12 according to positions of different light-emitting elements 12, to achieve large-area backlight with a small number of light-emitting elements 12 and effectively reduce manufacturing costs and power consumption of the backlight module. In this case, it is possible to reach display brightness of the display device with a small number of light-emitting elements 12, and a large number of light-emitting elements 12 are unnecessary for partition control.
