The present disclosure relates to a double-sided electroluminescent display panel and a display device.
Currently, Organic Light-emitting Diode (OLED) display devices have attracted attentions of the industry because of application advantages such as self-luminescence, no backlight module, light weight, thin thickness, simple structure and durability.
OLED devices have two types, i.e., a non-transparent type and a transparent type. Non-transparent OLED devices may only emit light on one side, therefore, in a case of preparing double-sided OLED display device, two independent display devices are required to be bonded, or substrates provided with OLED devices are required to be sealed respectively. Therefore, the cost of manufacturing a double-sided OLED display device by using non-transparent OLED devices is higher, and the thickness of the double-sided OLED display device is thicker. A transparent OLED device is capable of emitting light from double sides. A double-sided OLED display panel requires an anode and a cathode of an electroluminescent (EL) device have a higher transmittance. The anode is generally made of indium tin oxide (ITO), and the cathode may be made of indium zinc oxide (IZO) or Mg/Ag (9:1 thickness). EL devices emit light in both directions due to their self-luminescence properties, thereby realizing double-sided display of OLED devices. However, because the EL devices are transparent, environmental light may also pass through the OLED panel and exits together with self-emitted light of the EL devices; as a result, contrast of the OLED device is greatly reduced and use's viewing effect is influenced greatly by the environmental light.
Therefore, how to improve the contrast of double-sided OLED display device is a technical problem to be solved by a person having ordinary skill in the art.

The size and shape of each structure in the drawings do not reflect true proportions of the double-sided electroluminescent display panel, and are merely intended to illustrate the present disclosure.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a double-sided electroluminescent display panel, which comprises a double-sided light-emitting transparent electroluminescent (EL) structure, a first absorption polarization structure disposed on a first light-emitting surface of the transparent EL structure, and a first reflective polarization structure disposed on a second light-emitting surface of the transparent EL structure (the relationship of “on” described herein includes direct and indirect contact); and transmission axes of the first absorption polarization structure and the first reflective polarization structure are perpendicular to each other.

As illustrated in an optical path of
Environment light 03 (light intensity is I) incident towards the second light-emitting surface firstly passes through the first reflective polarization structure 3, the first reflective polarization structure 3 transmits the environment light of the S wave component, and reflects the environment light of the P wave component, and then the environment light of the S wave component sequentially passes through the EL structure 1 and the first absorption polarization structure 2, because of the first absorption polarization structure 2 is capable of absorbing the environment light of the S wave component, the environment light of the S wave component does not exit; however, the environment light of the P wave component directly exits. At this time, emergent light in a direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface includes the environment light 04 (light intensity is I/2) of the P wave component.
It may be seen that because of existence of the first absorption polarization structure 2 and the first reflective polarization structure 3, the environment light does not pass the entire double-sided electroluminescent display panel, and finally the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface and the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface are both I/2.
As illustrated in an optical path of
In the EL structure 1, self-emitted light 07 (light intensity is I) emitted from the second light-emitting surface passes through the first reflective polarization structure 3, because the first reflective polarization structure 3 transmits the self-emitted light of the S wave component, and reflects the self-emitted light of the P wave component, the self-emitted light of the P wave component sequentially passes through the EL structure 1 and the first absorption polarization structure 2 and exits, at this time, the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface includes self-luminescent 08 (light intensity is I/2) of the P wave component; however, the self-emitted light of the S wave component directly exits, at this time, the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface includes self-emitted light 06 (light intensity is I/2) of the S wave component.
It may be seen that because of existence of the first absorption polarization structure 2 and the first reflective polarization structure 3, the self-emitted light of the S wave component exits from one surface, and the self-emitted of the P wave component exits from another surface, and finally the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface is I/2, and the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface is I.

As illustrated in an optical path of
In the EL structure 1, self-emitted light 17 (light intensity is I) exits from the second light-emitting surface passes through the first reflective polarization structure 3, because the first reflective polarization structure 3 transmits the self-emitted light of the S wave component, and reflects the self-emitted light of the P wave component, the self-emitted light of the S wave component passes through the second absorption polarization structure 5 and directly exits; at this time, the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface includes self-luminescent 19 (light intensity is I/2) of the S wave component; however, the self-emitted light of the P wave component sequentially passes through the EL structure 1, the second reflective polarization structure 4 and the first absorption polarization structure 2; at this time, the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface includes self-emitted light 18 (light intensity is I/2) of the P wave component.
It may be seen that because of existence of the first absorption polarization structure 2, the first reflective polarization structure 3, the second absorption polarization structure 5 and the second reflective polarization structure 4, the self-emitted light of the S wave component is emitted from one surface, and the self-emitted light of the P wave component is emitted from another surface, and finally the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface is I, and the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface is I.
By comparison, the emergent light intensity of the self-emitted light is still higher than that of the environment light, so as to attenuate intensity of the environment light in a case that ensuring high exitance of the self-emitted light of both sides of the EL structure, so that the contrast of the double-sided electroluminescent display panel can be improved, and influence of the environment light on the double-sided display panel is reduced greatly.

Environment light 22 (light intensity is I) incident towards the second light-emitting surface firstly passes through the second absorption polarization structure 5, because the second absorption polarization structure 5 absorbs the environment light of the P wave component, and transmits the environment light of the S wave component, the environment light (the light intensity is I/2) of the S wave component firstly passes through the second light absorption structure 7; at this time, the light intensity of the environment light of the S wave component becomes I*T/2; and then the environment light of the S wave component sequentially passes through the first reflective polarization structure 3 and the EL structure 1, and is reflected by the second reflective polarization structure 4, and sequentially passes through the EL structure 1, the first reflective polarization structure 3, the second light absorption structure 7 and the second absorption polarization structure 5 again and exits; at this time, the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface includes environment light 23 (light intensity is I*T2/2) of the S wave component.
It may be seen that because of existence of the above first absorption polarization structure 2, the first reflective polarization structure 3, the second absorption polarization structure 5, the second reflective polarization structure 4, the first light absorption structure 6 and the second light absorption structure 7, the environment light does not pass through the entire double-sided electroluminescent display panel, and finally the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface and the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface are both I*T2/2. Assuming that T=0.8, both of the light intensity of the emergent light are 0.321; assuming that T=0.7, both of the light intensity of the emergent light are 0.2451, the intensity of the environment light is attenuated greatly, and a user is less susceptible to the environment light.

In the EL structure 1, self-emitted light 27 (light intensity is I) emitted from the second light-emitting passes through the first reflective polarization structure 3, because the first reflective polarization structure 3 transmits the self-emitted light of the S wave component, and reflects the self-emitted light of the P wave component, the self-emitted light of the S wave component sequentially passes through the second light absorption structure 7 and the second absorption polarization structure 5 and directly exits; at this time, the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface includes self-emitted light 29 (light intensity is I*T/2) of the S wave component; however, the self-emitted light of the P wave component sequentially passes through the EL structure 1, the second reflective polarization structure 4, the first light absorption structure 6 and the first absorption polarization structure 2 and exits; at this time, the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface includes self-emitted light 28 (light intensity is I*T/2) of the P wave component.
It may be seen that because of existence of the first absorption polarization structure 2, the first reflective polarization structure 3, the second absorption polarization structure 5, the second reflective polarization structure 4, the first light absorption structure 6 and the second light absorption structure 7, the self-emitted light of the S wave component is emitted from one surface, and the self-emitted light of the P wave component is emitted from another surface, and finally the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface and the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface are both I*T. Assuming that T=0.8, both of the light intensity of the emergent light are 0.81; assuming that T=0.7, both of the light intensity of the emergent light are 0.71.
By comparison, the emergent light intensity of the self-luminescent is still higher than that of the environment light, so as to greatly attenuate intensity of the environment light in a case that ensuring the high emissivity of the self-emitted light of both sides of the EL structure, and the environment light dose not pass through the entire double-sided electroluminescent display panel, so that the contrast of the double-sided electroluminescent display panel may be improved, and the influence of the environment light on the double-sided display panel is reduced greatly, and a low contrast problem of the original double-sided electroluminescent display panel because of transparency of the EL structure is alleviated.

Assuming that T=0.8, both of the light intensity of the emergent light are 0.656I; assuming that T=0.7, both of the light intensity of the emergent light are 0.5215I.

As illustrated in an optical path of
In the EL structure 1, self-emitted light 55 (light intensity is I) emitted from the second light-emitting passes through the first reflective polarization structure 3, because the first reflective polarization structure 3 transmits the self-emitted light of the S wave component, and reflects the self-emitted light of the P wave component, the self-emitted light of the P wave component sequentially passes through the EL structure 1, the first light absorption structure 6 and the first absorption polarization structure 2 and exits; at this time, the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface includes self-luminescent 56 (light intensity is I*T/2) of the P wave component; however, the self-emitted light of the S wave component passes through the second light absorption structure 7 and directly exits; at this time, the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface includes self-emitted light 57 (light intensity is I*T/2) of the S wave component.
It may be seen that because of existence of the above first absorption polarization structure 2, the first light absorption structure 6, the first reflective polarization structure 3 and the second light absorption structure 7, the self-emitted light of the S wave component is emitted from one surface, and the self-emitted light of the P wave component is emitted from another surface, and finally the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the first light-emitting surface to the second light-emitting surface is I*T/2, and the light intensity of the emergent light in the direction from the second light-emitting surface to the first light-emitting surface is I*T.
By comparison, the emission intensity of the self-emitted light is still higher than that of the environment light; therefore, the contrast of the double-sided electroluminescent display panel may be improved.
For example, in the above double-sided electroluminescent display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first reflective polarization structure or the second reflective polarization structure may be a metal wire grid polarizer or a reflective polarizer. The reflective polarizer may select 3M reflective polarizer DBEF. The selection of the first reflective polarization structure and the second reflective polarization structure may be based in an actual situation, which is not limited herein.
For example, in the above double-sided electroluminescent display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first absorption polarization structure or the second absorption polarization is a linear polarizer. The linear polarizer may specially comprise a first triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film and a second triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film which are laminated, that is, the linear polarizer is obtained by laminating a TAC protective film on an upper surface and a lower surface on the PVA film. The selection of the first absorption polarization structure and the second absorption polarization structure may be based in an actual situation, which is not limited herein.
For example, in the above double-sided electroluminescent display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, a material of the first light absorption structure may be a dye-containing organic resin material; a material of the second light absorption structure may also be a dye-containing organic resin material; the dye may act as a light absorber. The selection of the first light absorption structure and the second light absorption structure may be based in an actual situation, which is not limited herein.
For example, the double-sided electroluminescent display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure can further comprises other film structures such as a light-emitting layer, a cathode and an anode, and a base substrate can be formed with a thin film transistor, a gate line, a data line and other structures, the specific structures may be implemented by a plurality of manners, which are not limited herein.
For example, in the above double-sided electroluminescent display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, each absorption polarization structure, each reflective polarization structure and each light absorption structure may be disposed to be parallel to the first light-emitting surface or the second light-emitting surface.
For example, in the above double-sided electroluminescent display panel provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, each absorption polarization structure, each reflective polarization structure and each light absorption structure may cover an entirety of the corresponding first light-emitting surface and an entirety of the corresponding second light-emitting surface.
Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a display device, which comprises the above double-sided electroluminescent display panel provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the display device may be any product or component having a display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a television, a display, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator, and the like. Other indispensable components of the display device should be understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art, and are not be described in detail herein again, and should not be a limitation of the present disclosure. The implementation of the display device may refer to the above embodiments of the double-sided electroluminescent display panel, and the details are not repeated herein again.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a double-sided electroluminescent display panel and a display device, which comprises a double-sided light-emitting transparent electroluminescent structure, a first absorption polarization structure disposed on a first light-emitting surface of the transparent electroluminescent structure, and a first reflective polarization structure disposed on a second light-emitting surface of the transparent electroluminescent structure; and transmission axes of the first absorption polarization structure and the first reflective polarization structure are perpendicular to each other; the first absorption polarization structure is configured to absorb light of a first wave component and transmit light of a second wave component; the first reflective polarization structure is configured to transmit the light of the first wave component and reflect the light of the second wave component. By combined actions of the first absorption polarization structure and the first reflection polarization structure provided in the double-sided electroluminescent display panel, the intensity of the environment light may be greatly attenuated in a case that ensuring the high exitance of the self-emitted light of both sides of the EL structure, and the environment light dose not pass through the entire double-sided electroluminescent display panel, so that the contrast of the double-sided electroluminescent display panel may be improved, and influence of the environment light on the double-sided display panel is reduced greatly, and a low contrast problem of an original double-sided electroluminescent display panel because of transparency of the EL structure is alleviated.
The above are only specific implementations of the present disclosure, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, the scope of the present disclosure should be based on the scope of the claims.
The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 201610641047.5 filed Aug. 5, 2016, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference as part of the present application.
