Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present application relates to a field of displays, especially to a display device and display terminal.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

With the advancement of technology and the iteration of consumer electronics products, users also pay increasing attention to the issue of privacy protection. In some occasions, people do not want others to watch the display screen images on the display device, and thus the display device is required to have an anti-peep function to prevent others from viewing the contents of the screen images in a range of a viewing angle of liquid crystals display device.

However, a general anti-peep display device disposed a layer of an anti-peep film cover a display screen, but such anti-peep film is bidirectional anti-peep. To achieve a full viewing angle anti-peep, attachment of two layers of orthogonal anti-peep films is required, which drastically lowers a display brightness and increases a total thickness.

The embodiment of the present application provides a display device 1000. The display device 1000 comprises a first display panel 100, a second display panel 200, The first display panel 100 is configured to display images. The second display panel 200 is disposed on a display side of the first display panel 100, and the second display panel 200 comprises a first substrate 211, a second substrate 212, a first polarizer 241, a second polarizer 242, and a liquid crystal mixture 250. The first polarizer 241 is disposed on a side of the first substrate 211 away from the second substrate 212. The second polarizer 242 is disposed on a side of the second substrate 212 away from the first substrate 211. The liquid crystal mixture 250 is sandwiched between the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212. The liquid crystal mixture 250 comprises liquid crystals 251 and dyes 252. An alignment of molecules of the liquid crystals 251 is consistent with an alignment of molecules of the dyes 252. The molecules of the liquid crystals 251 and the molecules of the dyes 252 are tilted relative to a surface of the first substrate 211.

In some embodiments, the second display panel 200 further comprises a polymer network 280 located between the first substrate 211 and the second substrate 212. The polymer network 280 is tilted relative to the surface of the first substrate 211. A tilt direction of the polymer network 280 relative to the surface of the first substrate 211 is consistent with a tilt direction of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 relative to the surface of the first substrate 211.

In particular, the polymer network 280 performs a function of fixing an alignment angle of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 such that the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 keeps a constant alignment angle on the first substrate 211.

In some embodiments, a transmission axis of the first polarizer 241 is parallel to a transmission axis of the second polarizer 242. The transmission axes of the first polarizer 241 and the second polarizer 242 are parallel to a projection of the long axes of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 on the surface of the first substrate 211.

In some embodiments, both an included angle of long axes of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 and the surface of the first substrate 211 and an included angle between long axes of the molecules of the dyes 252 and the surface of the first substrate 211 are 45 to 90 degrees.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 1, the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 and the molecules of the dyes 252 are aligned consistently, which means that the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 and the molecules of the dyes 252 have the same alignment direction. The molecule of the liquid crystals of the liquid crystals 251 comprises a long axis and a short axis. The molecule of the dyes 252 comprises a long axis and a short axis. After an alignment of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystals 251, a force among the molecules drives the molecules of the dyes 252 to be aligned in the same direction. A long axis direction of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 is consistent with a long axis direction of the molecules of the dyes 252.

In particular, the included angle α between the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 and the surface of the first substrate 211 is 45 to 90 degrees (namely, the pre-tilt angle is 45 to 90 degrees) such that the second display panel 200 has a function of adjusting a viewing angle of the displayed images of the first display panel 100.

In particular, the display device 1000 further comprises a first alignment layer 231 disposed on a surface of a first electrode 221, or/and a second alignment layer 232 disposed on a surface of a second electrode 222. The first alignment layer 231 and the second alignment layer 232 are configured to align the molecules of the liquid crystals 251. An included angle between a rubbing direction (an alignment direction of rubbing alignment) of the first alignment layer 231 and the second alignment layer 232 is 0° or 180°.

In some embodiments, a mass ratio of the dyes 252 in the liquid crystal mixture 250 is 1% to 5%.

In particular, to guarantee an entire transmittance of the display device while achieving anti-peep effect in three positions, preferably, the mass ratio of the dyes 252 in the liquid crystal mixture 250 is 1% to 5%, and can guarantee a suitable transmittance of a front viewing angle and a large viewing angle anti-peep effect of the display device.

In some embodiments, the dyes 252 comprise azo dyes or anthraquinone dyes.

In particular, the dyes 252 comprise azo dyes or anthraquinone dyes, azo dyes or anthraquinone dyes and have advantages of excellent light resistance fastness, excellent chemical stability, and convenience of use. The azo dyes or anthraquinone dyes are dichroism materials.

In particular, dichroism dyes molecules has dichroism, the molecule has a light absorbing axis that can selectively absorb polarized light parallel to the light absorbing axis, and it generally can absorb red light, yellow light, blue light or all colors of visible light. In a “guest-host” system of liquid crystals and dichroism dyes, after liquid crystals of a body material are aligned, dyes molecules is commonly aligned according a “guest-host” effect. Dichroism pigment dyes has a shape of a molecule similar to ellipsoid of liquid crystals, and has a light absorbing axis with a stronger light absorbing effect and can absorb polarized light parallel to the light absorbing axis. Light perpendicular to the light absorbing axis direction would pass, and a difference between a light transmission part and a light absorbing part are only expressed by a dichroism ratio.

In particular, the first display panel 100 is configured to display images, the first display panel 100 can be a liquid crystal display panel or organic light emitting display panel, and a type of the first display panel 100 is not limited here.

In particular, the first display panel 100 displays images, or a side of the first display panel 100 for observation of human's eyes is the display side.

In particular, the second display panel 200 is display panel with an anti-peep effect, or a display panel with viewing angle adjustment.

In particular, display light of the first display panel 10, after entering the first polarizer 241, becomes a polarized light. After modulation of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 or/and the molecules of the dyes 252 in the liquid crystal mixture 250, when observation is performed in different viewing angles, display light adjusts a brightness of a corresponding viewing angle through energies of different viewing angles and different illuminances to adjust the activation and deactivation of the anti-peep effect of the display device 1000.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 illustrates anti-peep effects or display effects of large viewing angle (a side viewing angle or an oblique viewing angle) of various positions of the display device 1000 of the present embodiment. Here, long axes of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 or/and the molecules of the dyes 252 parallel to x axis are taken as an example for explanation, a x axis, a y axis, and a z axis constitute a three dimensional coordinate system. The x axis and the y axis constitute or indicate a first plane, the z axis indicates a direction perpendicular to the first plane, or a x direction indicates a first direction, a y direction indicates a second direction, a z direction indicates a third direction. When viewed by human's eyes, the display device 1000 comprises a first position 801, a second position 802, a third position 803, a fourth position 804, and a fifth position 805. The first position 801 refers to a front view angle of the display device 1000. The second position 802 refers to an oblique view angle of the display device 1000. A position angle of the second position 802 is an oblique viewing angle of 0 degree, for example, a position angle is 0 degree, a polar angle is 60 degrees. The third position 803 refers to an oblique viewing angle of the display device 1000. A position angle of the third position 803 is an oblique view angle of 180 degree, for example, a position angle is 180 degree, and a polar angle is 60 degrees. The fourth position 804 refers to an oblique viewing angle of the display device 1000, a position angle of the fourth position 804 is an oblique viewing angle of 90 degrees, for example, a position angle is 90 degrees, and a polar angle is 60 degrees. The fifth position 805 refers to an oblique viewing angle of the display device 1000, a position angle of the fifth position 805 is an oblique viewing angle of 270 degree, for example, a position angle is 270 degree, and a polar angle is 60 degrees.

It should be explained that the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 form an included angle on the first substrate 211. Schematic views of the embodiment of the present application indicate that the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 are tilted on the first substrate 211 along the x direction. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a tilt direction of long axes of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 on the first substrate 211 is defined as a direction of position angle of 0 degree, and a reverse direction relative to the direction of position angle of 0 degree is a direction of position angle of 180 degree. A direction of position angle of 90 degrees and a direction of position angle of 270 degree are perpendicular to the direction of position angle of 0 degree.

It should be explained that the polar angle indicates a viewing angle under a position angle, namely, the polar angle indicates an included angle between human's eyes or sight and a normal of a surface of the second substrate 212 or a surface of the display device 1000. It should be explained that both side view and oblique view refers to an observation of a large viewing angle in a certain position angle.

It should be explained that in FIG. 3, a filling degree in the first position 801, the second position 802, the third position 803, the fourth position 804, and the fifth position 805 indicates a brightness, the lower the filling degree is, the greater the brightness is. The greater the filling degree is, the lower brightness is.

In particular, the brightness of the third position 803, the fourth position 804, and the fifth position 805 is very low, the brightness of the first position 801 is greater, the brightness of the second position 802 is the greatest. The brightness of display contents of the first display panel 100 view by Users or bystanders, in the third position 803, the fourth position 804, and the fifth position 805 is very low such that the images of the first display panel 100 cannot be viewed very well. Therefore, the third position 803, the fourth position 804, the fifth position 805 are anti-peep positions or anti-peep viewing angles, and the first position 801 and the second position 802 are normal viewing positions or normal viewing angles.

In particular, with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional schematic structural view of the x direction of the display device 1000 in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 indicates a brightness variation curve chart of sequential variation of viewing angles of the third position 803, the first position 801, and the second position 802. An abscissa of FIG. indicates a value of a polar angle of the viewing angle. An ordinate of FIG. 5 indicates a normalized brightness. FIGS. 4 and 5 indicates anti-peep effects and principles of the second position 802 and the third position 803. The third position 803 and the second position 802 indicate a left-right viewing angle along the x direction. In the second position 802, when observing along a tilt direction of the molecules of the dyes 252, the observer or human's eyes see along a direction of the short axis of the molecules of the dyes 252, namely a light transmission direction. In the meantime, light absorbing is comparatively weak, display contents of the first display panel 100 can be viewed clearly on the second position 802 under a side viewing condition. When observing in the third position 803 along a direction perpendicular to the tilt direction of the molecules of the dyes 252, the observe or human's eyes see along a direction of the long axis of the molecules of the dyes 252, namely, the direction of the light absorbing axis of the molecules of the dyes 252. In the meantime linearly polarized light passing through the first polarizer 241 is absorbed, the brightness of display contents of the first display panel 100 in the third position 803 under a side viewing angle is lowered drastically, and image readability is drastically weakened to achieve the anti-peep effect.

In particular, with reference to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8, FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional schematic structural view of the z direction of the display device 1000 in FIG. 3. FIG. 8 indicates a brightness variation curve chart of sequential variation of viewing angles the fifth position 805, the first position 801, and the fourth position 804. An abscissa of FIG. 8 indicates a value of a polar angle of the viewing angle. An ordinate of FIG. 8 indicates a normalized brightness. FIG. 7 indicates a relationship between incident light from the fifth position 805, the first position 801, the fourth position 804 into the second display panel 200 and the molecules of the liquid crystals 251. FIG. 6, FIG. 7, FIG. 8 indicates anti-peep effects and principles of the fifth position 805, the fourth position 804. FIG. 8 also explains a principle of the first position 801 that the brightness is decreased. The fifth position 805 and the fourth position 804 indicate a left-right viewing angle along the z direction. When observation is performed in the front viewing angle (the first position 801), the polarization axis of the first polarizer 241 is consistent with a direction of an orthographic projection of the long axes of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 on the first polarizer 241, a polarization direction of the incident linearly polarized light is not modulated, and a polarization direction of exiting linearly polarized light is unchanged. When observation is performed from the fifth position 805, the fourth position 804, a certain included angle exists between the polarization axis of the first polarizer 241 and the orthographic projection of the long axes of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 on the first polarizer 241, incident linearly polarized light, after passing through liquid crystals layer, has an anisotropic phase difference such that light in the fifth position 805 and the fourth position 804 passing through the liquid crystals 251 becomes elliptically polarized light. After light filtration of the second polarizer 242, the brightness of the screen images observed in the fifth position 805, the fourth position 804 is drastically lowered comparing to the screen images brightness of the front viewing angle (the first position 801) such that the brightness of the display contents of the first display panel 100 in the fifth position 805 and the fourth position 804 under a side viewing angle is lowered drastically, and image readability is drastically weakened to achieve the anti-peep effect.

It should be explained that the transmission axis of the polarizer is a polarization axis thereof, or the transmission axis of the polarizer is parallel to a polarization axis thereof.

In particular, the anti-peep effect of the third position 803 is according to a modulation effect of the molecules of the dyes 252, and the anti-peep effects of the fifth position 805 and the fourth position 804 are according to a modulation effect of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251.

In particular, the display device 1000 has an anti-peep function in three positions that are the third position 803, the fifth position 805, the fourth position 804.

It should be explained that in the present embodiment, the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 and the molecules of the dyes 252 in the second display panel provides a display device 1000. The display device 1000 comprises a first display panel 100 configured to display images, and a second display panel 200 configured for an anti-peep effect. The second display panel 200 is disposed on a display side of the first display panel 100. The second display panel 200 comprises the liquid crystal mixture 250 in which liquid crystals 251 and dyes 252 are mixed. The molecules of the liquid crystals 251 and the molecules of the dyes 252 are aligned consistently. The molecules of the liquid crystals 251 are obliquely aligned on a surface of the first substrate and a surface of the second substrate in the second display panel 200. The transmission axis of the first polarizer 241 and the transmission axis of the second polarizer 242 in the second display panel 200 are parallel to the projection of the long axes of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 on the surface of the first substrate 211. The transmission axis of the first polarizer 241 is parallel to the transmission axis of the second polarizer 242, a modulation effect of the molecules of the dyes 252 makes the third position 803 have an anti-peep effect, a modulation effect of the molecules of the liquid crystals 251 makes the fifth position 805 and the fourth position 804 have an anti-peep effect. The display device 1000 of the present embodiment achieves an anti-peep function in three positions. In the meantime, the display device of the embodiment of the present application 1000 has excellent anti-peep effect, high brightness, thin thickness
