The liquid crystal display panel is the main stream flat panel display device technology in the present market. All display devices need backlight to be the light source. The traditional backlight module comprises a backlight source having LEDs and a light guide plate. In a general side light type backlight module structure, the light guide plate of PET or PMMA plastic material uniformly mixes the side light and illuminates the same upward. After passing through the optical films, such as the diffuser and the prism, the light enters the liquid crystal display panel. Meanwhile, polarizers are adhered at positions of the incident light and the illuminating light at the upper, lower surfaces of the glass substrate to make the incident light be linearly polarized light. The polarization direction is changed with the liquid crystal for realizing the control of the illuminating light brightness.

Because the liquid crystal molecules 131 possess anisotropies of dielectric and refractive indexes, the electrical field function can be employed to change the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules 131. The dichroic dye molecule 132 is a rod like structure. The dichroic dye molecules 132 having different absorption coefficients to the visible light along the long axis direction and the short axis direction are employed to be the object, which is solved in the subject, the liquid crystal molecules 131 which are orientated and aligned. The dichroic dye molecules 132, the object will change along with the subject, and thus to be aligned in the same direction with the liquid crystal molecules 131. In the electrical field, as the alignment of the liquid crystal molecules 131 which are employed to be the subject changes, the alignment of the dichroic dye molecules 132 which are employed to be the object changes along therewith. Namely, the absorption of the incident light by the dichroic dye molecules 132 will also change for solving the issue that the incident light of the glass substrate is non polarized light, and thus for realizing the normal display of the display panel. Under such circumstance, by locating a first transparent conductive plate and a second transparent conductive plate between the array substrate 11 and the color filter substrate 12, the display medium is positioned between the first transparent conductive plate and the second transparent conductive plate. With the voltages between the first transparent conductive plate and the second transparent conductive plate, the twist angles of the liquid crystal molecules 131 between the two transparent conductive plates are controlled, and thus the dichroic dye molecules 132 are twisted with a corresponding angle along with the liquid crystal molecules 131.
In this embodiment, the display panel 10 is a liquid crystal display panel, comprising a display surface 101, and a polarizer is provided on the display surface 101. That is to say, the polarizer 102 is adhered on a surface of the color filter substrate 12 which is at an illuminating light direction thereof. The glass substrate 111 comprises an outer surface 113 connected with the incident surface 112 and an illuminating surface (not shown). The outer surface 113 is located away from the display surface 101.
In this embodiment, the outer surface 113 of the glass substrate 111 away from the display medium 13 is adhered with a reflective sheet 14. The reflective sheet 14 is employed to reflect the light of the glass substrate 111 to the illuminating light direction to enhance the utilization of the glass substrate 111 and to prevent the light leakage at the bottom of the glass substrate 111.
In this embodiment, light guide screen dots are formed on the outer surface of the glass substrate 111. As the light irradiates on the respective light guide dots of the light guide screen dots, the reflected light diffuses toward various angles, and then breaks the reflection condition and illuminates from the front illuminating surface of the glass substrate, and thus to promote the light guiding efficiency of the glass substrate 111. The other circumferential surfaces of the glass substrate 111 except the incident surface are adhered with light shielding layers, which can effectively prevent the light of the glass substrate leaking from the circumferential sides.
In this embodiment, the light source 13 comprises an Aluminum substrate and a light emitting diode located on a surface of the Aluminum substrate. The light source 13 is fixed with the array substrate with optical adhesive. Specifically, the light emitting diodes of the light source 13 faces toward the incident surface 112, and the Aluminum substrate is fixed with the edges of the array substrate 11 with optical adhesive.
It is understood that in other embodiments, the display device further comprises a side frame (not shown), and the side frame is located at a periphery of the display panel and fixed with the display panel, and the light source 13 is accepted and fixed on the side frame, and faces toward the incident surface 112. The side frame is a rectangular frame body and is located around the periphery of the display panel.
The display device of the present invention directly uses the glass substrate of the display panel to be the light guide plate which is provided with the incident surface, and the light source is located at one side of the glass substrate, which is the incident surface to provide the lighting source for the display panel, and meanwhile, the liquid crystal molecules are mixed with the dichroic dye molecules to construct the guest-host effect phenomenon for solving the issue that the incident light is non polarized light for satisfying the normal display function of the display panel without additionally arranging the light guide plate and glue frame optical thin film. With the smaller thickness of the display device, the ultra thin display device design can be realized, and material can be saved.
