The disclosure relates to a liquid crystal display technology, and more particularly to a display module and a polarizer thereof.
With the development of liquid crystal display technology, liquid crystal television has become popular, and large-size LCD TV has become user's favorite, because of large display area and visual effects shock, the LCD TV of 55-inch and above has become the market mainstream choice for high-end models currently. However, the larger the size of the liquid crystal panel, the warpage is more likely to occur. In addition, in order to reduce the weight and the cost, the thickness of the glass substrate used in the large-size liquid crystal panel has been changed from 0.7 mm to 0.5 mm. The thinner the glass substrate, the greater the impact of external forces, more prone to occur warpage. Therefore, the liquid crystal panel in the high temperature and high humidity test or in the thermal shock test, the large-size thin-type liquid crystal panel is prone to occur warpage, the warpage will lead to light leakage, thus affecting the taste. For the panel warpage caused by high humidity, the structure of the polarizer with high humidity resistance can be used to improve. However, the warpage caused by the thermal shock is not necessarily improved by using the polarizer with high humidity resistance.

The material of the polarizing layer 12 in this embodiment is the high temperature resistance and high humidity resistance PVA, so that the temperature resistance of the polarizer is not less than 60° C. and the humidity resistance is not less than 80%, so that it is possible to prevent the polarizing layer 12 from molecular chain contraction caused by absorption of temperature and humidity and leading to the generation of stress of the polarizer, and to weaken the bending degree of the display module, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of light leakage around the display module and improving the display quality of the display module.
Preferably, the material of the polarizing layer 12 is the high temperature resistance and high humidity resistance PVA, so that the temperature resistance of the polarizer is not less than 60° C. and the humidity resistance is not less than 90%. Wherein, the temperature resistance of the polarizer means that the polarizer does not generate chemical changes or physical damage due to thermal expansion at the temperature. Similarly, the humidity resistance of the polarizer means that the polarizer does not generate chemical reaction or physical damage at the humidity. Since the polarizer has relatively high temperature resistance, the stress caused by thermal expansion under the high temperature environment is relatively small, so as to reduce the degree of bending of the display module, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of light leakage around the display module.
Taking the temperature resistance of the polarizer is 60° C. and the humidity resistance is 90% as an example, in the actual testing process, the humidity resistance is obtained by attaching a polarizer sample having a size of 40×40 mm to a clean glass by a roller. Placed in a 60° C.*5 kgf/cm2 environment for 15 minutes, and then the polarizer sample was placed in a furnace at a temperature of 60° C. and a humidity of 90% for 500 hours, finally taken out the polarizer sample, and judging whether the change of the transmittance of the polarizer sample is not more than 5%. If it is not more than 5%, the temperature resistance of the polarizer is 60° C. and the humidity resistance of the polarizer is 90%.
The first adhesive layer 11 is used to adhere the polarizer to the glass substrate. The polarizing layer 12 has polarizing and analyzing functions. The second adhesive layer 13 is used to adhere the polarizing layer 12 and the protective layer 14, The protective layer 14 has the function of blocking water vapor, and is used for supporting the entire polarizer at the same time.
In this embodiment, the material of the first adhesive layer 11 is PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive), the material of the protective layer 14 is Triacetyl Cellulose (TAC), the material of the second adhesive layer 13 water-based adhesive or UV adhesive.

In this embodiment, it is also possible to reduce the stress of the entire polarizer by reducing the thickness of the polarizing layer 12, wherein, the thickness of the polarizing layer 12 is 10 to 20 μm. By using a thin-type PVA of the polarizing layer 12, the thickness of the entire polarizer can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the stress generated by the thermal expansion of the polarizing layer 12 and reducing the degree of bending of the display module.
Similarly, in this embodiment, the stress of the entire polarizer can also be reduced by reducing the thickness of the protective layer 14, wherein the thickness of the protective layer 14 is 20-40 μm. By using a thin-type TAC of the protective layer 14, the thickness of the entire polarizer can be effectively reduced, so as to reduce the stress of the entire polarizer, and reduce the degree of bending of the display module.

Of course, in order to better reduce the stress of the entire polarizer, the above several solutions can be arbitrarily combined. For example, the material of the second adhesive layer 13 is UV adhesive, the temperature resistance of the polarizing layer 12 is higher than 60° C., and the humidity resistance of the polarizer is greater than 90%; alternatively, the material of the second adhesive layer 13 is UV adhesive, the temperature resistance of the polarizing layer 12 is higher than 60° C., and the humidity resistance of the polarizer is greater than 90%, the thickness of the polarizing layer 12 is 10-20 μm, the thickness of the protective layer 14 is 20-40 μm; alternatively, the material of the second adhesive layer 13 is UV adhesive, the temperature resistance of the polarizing layer 12 is higher than 60° C., and the humidity resistance of the polarizer is greater than 90%, the thickness of the polarizing layer 12 is 10-20 μm, the thickness of the protective layer 14 is 20-40 μm, the first adhesive layer 11 is the soft PSA; alternatively, the material of the second adhesive layer 13 is UV adhesive, the temperature resistance of the polarizing layer 12 is higher than 60° C., and the humidity resistance of the polarizer is greater than 90%, the thickness of the polarizing layer 12 is 10-20 μm, the thickness of the protective layer 14 is 20-40 μm, the first adhesive layer 11 is the soft PSA, the material of the protective layer 14 is the material with a relatively low thermal expansion coefficient, as shown in
The thickness of the polarizer in this embodiment is relatively thin and can effectively reduce the stress of the polarizer, and reduce the degree of bending of the display module, so as to avoid the light leakage around the display module, and improve the display quality of the display module.
Referring to
For example, the first polarizer includes, in order from the bottom to the top, the first adhesive layer 11, the polarizing layer 12, the second adhesive layer 13 and the protective layer 14 sequentially disposed away from the display layer, and the second polarizer includes, in order from the bottom to the top, the protective layer 24, the second adhesive layer 23, the polarizing layer 22 and the first adhesive layer 21 In this case, the structures of the first polarizer and the second polarizer are the same, and the first polarizer and the second polarizer may be any one of the above polarizers. Since the second polarizer is in contact with a backlight module, the heat generated in the backlight module is transmitted to the second polarizer. Preferably, in the present embodiment, the protective layer 24 of the second polarizer is thin type TAC or its material is selected from materials with a lower thermal expansion coefficient.
The display layer in this embodiment includes a OF substrate 31, a liquid crystal layer 32 and a TFT substrate 33. The liquid crystal layer 32 is located between the CF substrate 31 and the TFT substrate 33. The CF substrate 31 is located between the first polarizer and the liquid crystal layer 32. Since the first polarizer and the second polarizer sandwich the display layer therebetween, therefore the degree of bending of the display module can be weakened by reducing the stress of the first polarizer and the second polarizer, so that the phenomenon of light leakage around the display module can be avoided.
Referring to
Preferably, the polarizing layer 12 in this embodiment is a high temperature resistance PVA, so the temperature resistance of the polarizer is not less than 80° C., thereby reducing the stress of the entire polarizer. Wherein, the temperature resistance of the polarizer means that the polarizer does not cause chemical changes or physical damage due to thermal expansion at that temperature. Since the polarizer has relatively high temperature resistance, the stress caused by thermal expansion under high temperature environment is relatively small, which can reduce the degree of bending of the display module and avoid the light leakage around the display module.
Taking the temperature resistance of the polarizer is 80° C. as an example, in the actual testing process, the temperature resistance is obtained by attaching a polarizer sample having a size of 40×40 mm to a clean glass by a roller. Placed in a 60° C.*5 kgf/cm2 environment for 15 minutes, and then the polarizer sample was placed in a furnace at a temperature of 80° C. for 500 hours, finally taken out the polarizer sample, and judging whether the change of the transmittance of the polarizer sample is not more than 5%. If it is not more than 5%, the temperature resistance of the polarizer is 80° C.

In this embodiment, the second adhesive layer 13 and the third adhesive layer 16 are made of UV adhesive. Since the UV adhesive is a material containing no hydrophilic organic solvent, it can reduce the stress caused by the shrinkage of the molecular chain due to the absorption of water in the polarizing layer 12, thereby reducing the bending of the display module.
In this embodiment, it is also possible to reduce the stress of the entire polarizer by reducing the thickness of the polarizing layer 12, wherein, the thickness of the polarizing layer 12 is 10 to 20 μm. By using a thin-type PVA of the polarizing layer 12, the thickness of the entire polarizer can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the stress generated by the thermal expansion of the polarizing layer 12 and reducing the degree of bending of the display module.
Similarly, in this embodiment, the stress of the entire polarizer can also be reduced by reducing the thickness of the compensation film layer 15, wherein the thickness of the compensation film layer 15 is 20-40 μm. By using a thin-type material of the compensation film layer 15 can effectively reduce the thickness of the entire polarizer, so as to reduce the stress of the entire polarizer and reduce the degree of bending of the display module.
Similarly, in this embodiment, the stress of the entire polarizer can also be reduced by reducing the thickness of the protective layer 14, wherein the thickness of the protective layer 14 is 20-40 μm. By using a thin-type TAC of the protective layer 14, the thickness of the entire polarizer can be effectively reduced, so as to reduce the stress of the entire polarizer, and reduce the degree of bending of the display module.

In this case, the structures of the first polarizer and the second polarizer are the same, and the first polarizer and the second polarizer may be any one of the polarizers. Since the second polarizer is in contact with the backlight module, the heat generated in the backlight module is transmitted to the second polarizer. Preferably, in the present embodiment, the protective layer 24 of the second polarizer is thin-type TAO or its material is selected from materials with a lower thermal expansion coefficient.
