In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the thickness of the display screen 1 is less than 1 mm; the thickness of the first conductive parts 21 is less than 1 mm, which can cause the curvature radius of both the display screen 1 and the first conductive part 21 to be less than 1 cm. The thickness of the second conductive parts 22 is not limited herein.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the display screen 1 is a flexible OLED display screen. Both the display screen 1 and the first conductive parts 21 are the flexible members, such that as the first conductive parts 21 produce a deformation under the driving of sound signals, the display screen 1 attached to the first conductive parts 21 produces a deformation. The first conductive parts 21 can vibrate with respect to the second conductive parts 22 during the deformation, thereby causing the sounding structures 2 to sound. The parameters such as the curvature radius of the flexible members are set and the distance between the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 is set, such that not only the sounding structures 2 can sound and but also the sound from the sounding structures 2 has a better effect, improving experience when a user watches the videos.
As shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller and the driver can be integrated circuits or chips independent of each other, or be integrated in one integrated circuit or chip. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the driver can load voltage signals on each of the sounding structures 2 (each of the first conductive parts 21 and each of the second conductive parts 22) via separated wires (as shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the display screen is intended to sound, such as when a sound volume of the display screen is not zero or when there is a sound with the videos, the processor produces corresponding signals according to the sound (including tone, loudness and timbre) in the videos and sends the signals to the controller, such that the controller controls the driver to load voltage signals (for causing the sounding structure to sound) on each of the sounding structures 2 (each of the first conductive parts 21 and each of the second conductive parts 22) according to the received signals, such that the flexible members can produce a deformation, and thus vibrate, thereby causing the sounding structures 2 to sound.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is not desired to sound, such as when the sound volume of the display is zero or when there is no sound in the videos, the processor produces and sends corresponding signals to the controller, such that the controller controls the driver to load voltage signals (for causing the sounding structure to not sound) on each of the sounding structures 2 (each of the first conductive parts 21 and each of the second conductive parts 22) according to the received signals, such that the flexible members cannot produce a deformation, and thus do not vibrate, thereby causing the sounding structures 2 not to sound. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, when it is not desired to sound, the controller can control the driver not to load voltage signals on each of the sounding structures 2 (each of the first conductive parts 21 and each of the second conductive parts 22), which reduces the energy consumption.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, voltage signals for causing the sounding structure to sound may be voltage signals for causing the sounding structure to sound, which are loaded between the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 of the sounding structure 2. For example, voltage signals for causing the sounding structure to sound may include voltage signals with the varying polarity loaded on one of the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 and voltage signals with the fixed polarity loaded on the other of the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, voltage signals for causing the sounding structure not to sound may be voltage signals for causing the sounding structure not to sound loaded between the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22 of the sounding structure 2. For example, voltage signals for causing the sounding structure not to sound may be voltage signals with the fixed polarity and the fixed magnitude loaded on the first conductive part 21 and the second conductive part 22. It is noted that the present disclosure includes but is not limited to above embodiments, and may further include other ways for causing the sounding structure not to sound or to sound.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, greater the magnitude of the loaded voltage signals for causing the sounding structure to sound is, greater the sound intensity (the loudness) produced by the sounding structure is. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the term “the varying polarity” refers to the polarity of the voltage signals loaded for causing the sounding structure to sound which is varying (that is, the polarity changes between the positive polarity and the negative polarity alternately); shorter the variation period is, higher the alternately varying frequency of the positive polarity and the negative polarity is, and thus, sharper the resulting sound is (or sharper the tone is).
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is desired to provide different sound intensities, the processor produces and sends corresponding signals to the controller, such that the controller controls the driver to only change the magnitude of the voltage signals loaded on the first conductive parts 21 and/or the second conductive parts 22 according to the received signals. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is desired to provide different tones, the processor produces and sends corresponding signals to the controller, such that the controller controls the driver to only change the changing frequency of the varying polarity of the voltage signals loaded on the first conductive parts 21 or the second conductive parts 22 according to the received signals.
It is noted that in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the first conductive parts 21 may be not attached to the display screen 1. For example, the first conductive parts 21 are connected with the display screen 1 at some points. That is, the display screen 1 is fixed to the first conductive parts 1 by a plurality of columnar supports at some points or the display screen 1 is attached to the first conductive parts 1 at some points. In this case, it is unnecessary for the display screen 1 to vibrate. Thus, the inflexible member may be used for the display screen 1.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the display screen 1 is an one-side OLED display screen, and the first conductive part 21 is provided on a display side of the display screen 1.
The first bases 210 are made of a PP, PET, PVC, PC or PI material, with a thickness of less than 0.1 mm. The first conductive layers 211 are made of a transparent amorphous oxide semiconductor such as SnO2, IZO, ITO, GaN or GaAs, or IGZOT, with the thickness of less than 50 μm. The second bases 220 are made of a PP, PET, PVC, PC or PI material and may take a form of a printed circuit board (PCB); and the second conductive layers 221 are made of Ag, Mg, ITO, IZO or IGZO. The thickness of the second base 220 and the second conductive layers 221 is not limited herein.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the resistance of the first conductive layer 211 loaded with sound signals is greater than 500 MΩ, and the resistance of the second conductive layers 221 loaded with fixed signals is greater, which ensures that a small current is generated when the polarity is changed and which keeps an accumulation for surface charges well. In this way, the loaded voltage signals are well kept on the first conductive layers 211, such that the sounding structures 2 can make a more stable sound with a better sounding effect. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conductive layers 211 are loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity, and the second conductive layers 221 are loaded with voltage signals with the fixed polarity, such that forces with the varying direction for causing the flexible members to deform are produced on the flexible members, thereby causing the flexible members to vibrate and therefore sound.
It is noted that in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conductive layers 211 are loaded with voltage signals with the fixed polarity and the second conductive layers 221 are loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity. In this case, the resistance of the second conductive layers 221 is greater than 500 MΩ, which also causes the sounding structures 2 to sound. In other embodiment of the present disclosure, other forms of loading voltage signals can be used, such that the sounding structures 2 are deformed to sound under the driving of the loaded voltage signals.
For example, as shown in
For example, in the embodiment where the display screen 1 and the first conductive parts 21 are flexible members and the second conductive parts 22 are inflexible members, voltage signals with any polarities are loaded on two first conductive layers 211 and two second conductive layers 221 provided respectively on both opposite surfaces of the display screen 1, such that when the polarities of voltage signals loaded on any one or any three of two first conductive layers 211 and two second conductive layers 221 are changed, the forces with the varying direction will be exerted on the flexible display screen 1 and first conductive parts 21 to cause a vibration, thereby causing the sounding structures 2 to sound.
For example, in the embodiment where the display screen 1 and the first conductive parts 21 are flexible members and the second conductive parts 22 are inflexible members, voltage signals with any polarities are loaded on two first conductive layers 211 and two second conductive layers 221 provided respectively on both opposite surfaces of the display screen 1, such that when the magnitudes of voltage signals loaded on any one, more than one or all of two first conductive layers 211 and two second conductive layers 221 are changed, the forces with the varying direction will be exerted on the flexible display screen 1 and first conductive parts 21 to cause a vibration, thereby causing the sounding structures 2 to sound.
The above ways for loading voltage signals are only illustrative, and may be made in any combination without deviating from the scope of the present disclosure.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
It is noted that, the display screen 1 may be an OLED display screen of a bottom emitting type or a top emitting type, or may be a transparent OLED display screen, such as a transparent PMOLED (Passive Matrix OLED) or AMOLED (Active Matrix OLED) display screen. When the display screen 1 is the transparent OLED display screen, the insulators 23 are made of a transparent material, and the first bases 210, the first conductive layers 211, the second bases 220 and the second conductive layers 221 are also made of transparent materials, which reduce the adverse affection for the transparent display.

In other embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conductive layers are loaded with voltage signals with the fixed polarity and the second conductive layers are loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display apparatus, which is similar to that in the above embodiments except that the second conductive part is flexible and the first conductive part is inflexible, such that as the second conductive part produces a deformation under driving of sound signals, the second conductive part can produce vibration with respect to the first conductive part during the deformation, thereby causing the sounding structure to sound.
Accordingly, the thickness of the second conductive part is less than 1 mm, and the thickness of the second base of the second conductive part is less than 0.1 mm, and the thickness of the second conductive layer is less than 50 μm. The thickness of the first conductive part and the first conductive layer and the first base of the first conductive part is not limited.
The parameters such as the curvature radius of the flexible members are set and the distance between the first conductive part and the second conductive part is set, such that the sounding structure can sound with a better effect, thus improving the experience during a user watches the videos.

Other structures and configurations of the display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure are the same as those in the above embodiments and thus are not described for clarity.
The display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure also causes the sounding structure to sound by providing the first conductive part, the second conductive part and the display screen to be flexible, such that the display apparatus does not need to be provided with speakers, reducing the volume of the display apparatus and expanding its application field and improving its added values, while causing the display apparatus to be more unique and fashionable.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display apparatus, which is similar to that in the above embodiments except that as shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first conductive layers are loaded with the sound signals and the second conductive layers are loaded with the fixed signals. The first conductive layers are divided into a conductive layer at a middle region and at least one edge conductive layer at edge regions by the plurality of separators 24, the middle region is at the middle of the first conductive layers and the edge regions are at the edges of the first conductive layers; or, the second conductive layers are loaded with the sound signals and the first conductive layers are loaded with the fixed signals. The second conductive layers are divided into a conductive layer at a middle region and at least one conductive layer at edge regions by the plurality of separators 24, the middle region is at the middle of the second conductive layers and the edge regions are at the edges of the second conductive layers.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive layer at the middle region includes a plurality of central conductive layers distributed in concentric rings, and two adjacent central conductive layers are separated and electrically insulated from each other. And each of the central conductive layers at the middle region is separately loaded with the sound signals.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive layer at the middle region 3 includes a plurality of central conductive layers distributed in concentric rings. In other embodiment of the present disclosure, the conductive layer at each of the edge regions 4 includes a plurality of edge conductive layers distributed in concentric rings. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the first conductive layer 211 is loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity, the first conductive layer 211 is divided into the conductive layer at the middle region 3 and the conductive layers at edge regions 4, while the second conductive layer 221 is not divided but as a whole layer. The conductive layer at the middle region 3 and the conductive layer at each of the edge regions 4 of the first conductive layer 211 include the plurality of conductive layers distributed in concentric rings.
The difference between the display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure and the display apparatus in the above embodiments lies in: the first conductive layers 211 and the second conductive layers 221 in the display apparatus in the above embodiments are of whole layers, and for the first conductive layer 211 and the second conductive layer 221 of each sounding structure 2 in the display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, one is divided into central conductive layers at the middle region 3 distributed in concentric rings and edge conductive layers at the edge regions 4 at both sides of the middle region 3 when loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity, and the other is the whole layer. For example, if the first conductive layer 211 is loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity, the first conductive layer 211 is divided into a plurality of central conductive layers distributed in concentric rings at the middle region 3 and a plurality of edge conductive layers at the edge regions 4 at both sides of the middle region 3, and the second conductive layer 221 is the whole layer. All concentric conductive layers at the middle region 3 and all the edge conductive layers at the edge regions 4 are all connected with the driver via the respective signal lines, such that voltage signals are applied to them by the driver, separately.
The first conductive layers 211 loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity are provided as central conductive layers distributed in concentric rings at the middle region 3 and edge conductive layers distributed in concentric rings at each of the edge regions 4, such that the sound from the sounding structures 2 has a more stereo sound field and thus is more stereo, which causes a listener to be more immersive when listening to the sound.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
Other structures and configurations of the display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure are the same as those in the above embodiments and thus are not described for clarity.
On the basis of the above structures of the display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the difference between the driving method of the display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure and the driving method of the display apparatus in the above embodiments lies in: the central conductive layers at the middle region 3 are loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity and the original magnitudes, and the edge conductive layers at the edge regions 4 are loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity and the adjusted magnitudes; the polarity of sound signals is changed such that the forces with the varying direction are produced and exerted on the corresponding conductive parts, thereby causing the sounding structures 2 to sound. In this way, the sound from the sounding structures is more stereo.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for the first conductive layers 211, the central conductive layers at the middle region 3 are loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity and the original magnitudes, and the edge conductive layers at the edge regions 4 are loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity and the adjusted magnitudes. The second conductive layers 221 are loaded with voltage signals with the fixed polarity.
For example, when the display screen is displaying the videos and a person who is speaking is at the left of the display screen, the processor performs an intelligent identification for the sound from the videos, and thus generates and sends corresponding signals to the controller, such that the controller controls the driver to load voltage signals, for causing the sounding structures to sound, on the sounding structures 2 according to the received signals.
Specifically, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the edge regions 4 at the left of the first conductive layers 211 receive voltage signals with the varying polarity after boosted by the driver, the edge regions 4 at the right of the first conductive layers 211 do not receive voltage signals or do receive voltage signals with the varying polarity and the reduced magnitudes by the driver, but the central conductive layers at the middle region 3 of the first conductive layers 211 are loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity and the original magnitudes provided by the driver. The polarity of sound signals is changed such that the forces with the varying direction are produced and exerted on the corresponding conductive parts, thereby causing the sounding structures 2 to sound. In this way, the listener feels that the source of sounds is at the position in the display screen where the person is in place, causing sounds to be more stereo and be more immersive.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the central conductive layers distributed in concentric rings at the middle region 3, from the ring with a minimum diameter to the ring with a maximum diameter, are successively loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity by a predetermined delay time. The polarity of sound signals is changed such that the forces with the varying direction are produced and exerted on the corresponding conductive parts, thereby causing the sounding structures 2 to sound. In this way, the sound is made like the spherical diffusion of sound waves from an original sound source, which further causes the sound to be more stereo and further improves the listening experience for the listener.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the predetermined delay time is less than 100 ms. It is noted that it is also possible to set a varying predetermined delay time when the concentric rings from the ring with the minimum diameter to the ring with the maximum diameter are successively loaded with voltage signals with the varying polarity. For example, from the ring with the minimum diameter to the ring with the maximum diameter, the predetermined delay time may be made to be shorter or longer. In short, if only the sounding effect can be improved, the predetermined delay time and the magnitudes of the adjusted voltage signals with the varying polarity may be set, and are not limited herein.
Other ways for loading voltage signals in the display apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure are the same as those in the above embodiments and thus are not described for clarity.
The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display apparatus which is similar to that in the above embodiments except that as shown in
