Description
BACKGROUND
Field

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an electronic device comprising a light guide plate with specific designs.


Description of Related Art

Reflective electronic (display) devices have gradually been widely used in daily life because the back light source can be omitted. In addition, if a bistable cholesteric liquid crystal panel is selected, its power consumption can be greatly reduced, which is beneficial to environmental protection and other advantages.


However, current reflective display devices still have shortcomings such as poor luminous efficiency and glare. Therefore, it is still necessary to develop an electronic device in order to improve the conventional shortcomings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following is specific embodiments to illustrate the implementation of the present disclosure. Those who are familiar with this technique can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present disclosure from the content disclosed in the present specification.


The present disclosure can also be implemented or applied by other different specific embodiments, and various details in the present specification can also be modified and changed according to different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure.


It should be noted that, in the present specification, when a component is described to have an element, it means that the component may have one or more of the elements, and it does not mean that the component has only one of the element, except otherwise specified. Furthermore, the ordinals recited in the specification and the claims such as “first”, “second” and so on are intended only to describe the elements claimed and imply or represent neither that the claimed elements have any proceeding ordinals, nor that sequence between one claimed element and another claimed element or between steps of a manufacturing method. The use of these ordinals is merely to differentiate one claimed element having a certain designation from another claimed element having the same designation.


In the specification and the appended claims of the present disclosure, certain words are used to refer to specific elements. Those skilled in the art should understand that electronic device manufacturers may refer to the same components by different names. The present specification does not intend to distinguish between elements that have the same function but have different names. In the following description and claims, words such as “comprising”, “including”, “containing”, and “having” are open-ended words, so they should be interpreted as meaning “containing but not limited to . . . ”. Therefore, when the terms “comprising”, “including”, “containing” and/or “having” are used in the description of the present disclosure, they specify the existence of corresponding features, regions, steps, operations and/or components, but do not exclude the existence of one or more corresponding features, regions, steps, operations and/or components.


The terms, such as “about”, “substantially”, or “approximately”, are generally interpreted as within 10%, 5%, 3%, 2%, 1%, or 0.5% of a given value or range. The quantity given here is an approximate quantity, that is, without specifying “about”, “approximately”, “substantially” and “approximately”, “about”, “approximately”, “substantially” and “approximately” can still be implied. Furthermore, when a value is “in a range from a first value to a second value” or “in a range between a first value and a second value”, the value can be the first value, the second value, or another value between the first value and the second value.


In the present specification, except otherwise specified, the terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the meanings generally known by a person skilled in the art. It should be noted that, except otherwise specified, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, these terms (for example, the terms defined in the generally used dictionary) should have the meanings identical to those known in the art, the background of the present disclosure or the context of the present specification, and should not be read by an ideal or over-formal way.


In addition, relative terms such as “below” or “under” and “on”, “above” or “over” may be used in the embodiments to describe the relative relationship between one element and another element in the drawings. It will be understood that if the device in the drawing was turned upside down, elements described on the “lower” side would then become elements described on the “upper” side. When a unit (for example, a layer or a region) is referred to as being “on” another unit, it can be directly on the another unit or there may be other units therebetween. Furthermore, when a unit is said to be “directly on another unit”, there is no unit therebetween. Moreover, when a unit is said to be “on another unit”, the two have a top-down relationship in a top view, and the unit can be disposed above or below the another unit, and the top-bottom relationship depends on the orientation of the device.


In the present disclosure, the distance, the width, the length, the thickness and the depth may be measured using an optical microscope or using cross-sectional images in an electron microscope, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, any two values or directions used for comparison may have certain errors. If the first value is equal to the second value, it implies that there may be an error of about 10% between the first value and the second value. If the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the angle between the first direction and the second direction may be between 80° and 100°. If the first direction is parallel to the second direction, the angle between the first direction and the second direction may be between 0° and 10°.


It should be noted that the technical solutions provided in different embodiments below can be replaced, combined or mixed with each other to constitute another embodiment without violating the spirit of the present disclosure.


The electronic device of the present disclosure may include, for example, a display device, a sensing device, an antenna device, a touch device, a tiled device or other suitable electronic devices; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The display device of the present disclosure may be a non-self-luminous display device or a self-luminous display device, such as a liquid crystal display, a cholesteric liquid crystal display, an electro-phoretic display, an organic light emitting diode display or a light emitting diode display; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The display device may comprise a light emitting diode, a light conversion layer, other suitable materials or a combination thereof; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The light emitting diode may comprise, for example, an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a mini light emitting diode (mini LED), a micro light emitting diode (micro LED) or a quantum dot light emitting diode (quantum dot LED which may include QLED or QDLED); but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The light conversion layer may comprise wavelength conversion materials and/or filter materials. The light conversion layer may comprise, for example, fluorescence, phosphors, quantum dots (QDs), other suitable materials or a combination thereof; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a part of an electronic device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.


In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the electronic device may comprise: a reflective panel 1; a light guide plate 2 disposed on the reflective panel 1, wherein the light guide plate 2 has a first surface 2a, a second surface 2b opposite to the first surface 2a and a side surface 2c connecting between the first surface 2a and the second surface 2b, wherein the first surface 2a is adjacent to the reflective panel 1; and a light source 3 adjacent to the side surface 2c. The second surface 2b comprises a plurality of recessed structures 21, one of the recessed structures 21 has a depth D in a normal direction Z of the reflective panel 1, the side surface 2c has a thickness H, and a ratio of the depth D to the thickness H is greater than or equal to 0.0001 and less than or equal to 0.25, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the ratio of the depth D to the thickness H is greater than or equal to 0.001 and less than or equal to 0.1. In some embodiments, the ratio of the depth D to the thickness H may be greater than or equal to 0.002 and less than or equal to 0.05. In some embodiments, the ratio of the depth D to the thickness H may be greater than or equal to 0.003 and less than or equal to 0.02. Through the above design, the light guide efficiency of the light guide plate 2 (for example, the light guide efficiency that the light is guided to the reflective panel 1) may be improved.


In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the reflective panel 1 may comprise a first panel 11, a second panel 12 and a third panel 13, and the second panel 12 is disposed between the first panel 11 and the third panel 13. The first panel 11, the second panel 12 and the third panel 13 may selectively reflect light with different colors respectively. The cholesteric liquid crystal layers in the first panel 11, the second panel 12 and the third panel 13 may be, for example, used to reflect light with different colors respectively in a planer state. For example, the cholesteric liquid crystal layer in the first panel 11 may reflect blue light in the planer state, the cholesteric liquid crystal layer in the second panel 12 may reflect green light in the planer state, and the cholesteric liquid crystal layer in the third panel 13 may reflect red light in the planer state; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


In the present disclosure, the material of the light guide plate 2 may comprise glass, polycarbonate (PC), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), suitable high light transmitting material or a combination thereof; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the thickness H of the light guide plate 2 (for example, the thickness H of the side surface 2c) may be between 120 μm and 5000 μm (120 μm≤H≤5000 μm), for example, between 200 μm and 4000 μm (200 μm≤H≤4000 μm), between 300 μm and 3000 μm (300 μm≤H≤3000 μm) or between 400 μm and 2000 μm (400 μm≤H≤2000 μm); but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the recessed structures 21 may respectively have a concave surface 21s connecting to a planar surface 2b1 of the second surface 2b. In a cross-section of the light guide plate 2, the concave surface 21s comprises a first side 21s1 (for example, the side adjacent to the light source) and a second side 21s2 (for example, the side facing away from the light source), and an angle included between the first side 21s1 and a virtual surface VS perpendicular to the planar surface 2b1 is a first angle θ1, an angle included between the second side 21s2 and the virtual surface VS is a second angle θ2, and the first angle θ1 is greater than the second angle θ2. Through the above design, the light guide efficiency of the light guide plate 2 can be improved. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, an angle included between the first side 21s1 and an extension surface ES of the planar surface 2b1 is a third angle θ3, an angle included between the second side 21s2 and the extension surface ES is a fourth angle θ4, and the third angle θ3 is less than the fourth angle θ4. Through the above design, the efficiency of the light guide plate 2 to guide light downward to the reflective panel 1 can be improved. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the planar surface 2b1 may be approximately perpendicular to the normal direction Z of the light guide plate 2; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


In the present disclosure, when observing from the top view direction of the light guide plate 2, the shape of the recessed structure 21 may comprise, for example, circle, oval, half-moon, rectangle, rhombus, polygon, irregular shape or other suitable shapes; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the depth D of the recessed structure 21 may be between 0.5 μm and 30 μm (0.5 μm≤D≤30 μm), for example, between 1 μm and 25 μm (1 μm≤D≤25 μm), between 1.5 μm and 20 μm (1.5 μm≤D≤20 μm) or between 2 μm and 10 μm (2 μm≤D≤10 μm); but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In the present disclosure, the “depth of the recessed structure” refers to, for example, the maximum distance between the recessed structure 21 and the extension surface ES of the planar surface 2b1 of the second surface 2b in the normal direction Z of the light guide plate 2. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the ratio of the depth D of the recessed structure 21 to the thickness H of the side surface 2c may be between 0.0001 and 0.25 (0.0001≤D/H≤0.25), for example, between 0.00025 and 0.125 (0.00025≤D/H≤0.125), between 0.0005 and 0.0667 (0.0005≤D/H≤0.0667) or between 0.0008 and 0.05 (0.0008≤D/H≤0.05); but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. When the ratio of the depth D of the recessed structure 21 to the thickness H of the side surface 2c meets the aforesaid design, the light guide efficiency of the light guide plate 2 can be improved.


In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the width W of the recessed structure 21 may be between 5 μm and 150 μm (5 μm≤W<150 μm), for example, between 8 μm and 120 μm (8 μm≤W<120 μm), between 10 μm and 100 μm (10 μm≤W<100 μm) or between 15 μm and 80 μm (15 μm≤W<80 μm); but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The “width of the recessed structure” refers to, for example, the distance between adjacent planar surfaces 2b1 in a cross-section of the light guide plate 2; or a maximum width of the recessed structure in the first direction X. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a ratio of the depth D of the recessed structure 21 to the width W of the recessed structure 21 may be between 0.003 and 6 (0.003≤D/W≤6), for example, between 0.008 and 3.125 (0.008≤D/W≤3.125), between 0.015 and 2 (0.015≤D/W≤2), between 0.025 and 1.5 (0.025≤D/W≤1.5) or between 0.03 and 1 (0.03≤D/W≤1); but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, the first side 21s1 has a first length L1, the second side 21s2 has a second length L2, and a ratio of the first length L1 to the second length L2 may be greater than 1 and less than or equal to 8 (1≤L1/L2≤8), greater than 1 and less than or equal to 6 (1≤L1/L2≤6) or greater than 1 and less than or equal to 4 (1≤L1/L2≤4); but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. When the design of the recessed structure 21 meets one or more of the aforesaid requirements, the light guide efficiency of the light guide plate 2 can be improved. The “first/second length” refers to, for example, a distance from one end of the first side 21s1/second side 21s2 adjacent to the planar surface 2b1 to another end thereof far away from the planar surface 2b1 in the cross-section of the light guide plate 2. In some embodiments, the first side 21s1 and the second side 21s2 may be curved, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


In the present disclosure, the light source 3 may comprise light emitting diodes (LEDs), and the light emitting diodes may comprise, for example, organic light emitting diodes (OLED), mini LEDs, micro LEDs or quantum dot LEDs (including QLEDs or QDLEDs), fluorescence, phosphors, other suitable material or a combination thereof; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.


In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may comprise an adhesion unit 4 disposed on the light guide plate 2. The material of the adhesion unit 4 may comprise polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), optical clear adhesive (OCA), optical clear resin (OCR), other suitable material of a combination thereof; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In the present disclosure, the refractive index (n) of the adhesion unit 4 may be between 1 and 1.4 (1≤n≤1.4) or between 1 and 1.35 (1≤n≤1.35); but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In the following, the light patterns of the first surface 2a and the second surface 2b are measured in to one embodiment of the present disclosure that the recessed structure 21 of the light guide plate 2 has different angles (for example, the first angle θ1 and the second angle θ2), to discuss the light guide effect of the light guide plate 2. In addition, the measurement positions of the light patterns are approximately at the centers of the first surface 2a and the second surface 2b respectively. The light pattern can be determined by an angle analyzer (such as model DMS-803, but not limited to this), an imaging spectrocolorimeter (such as Conometer), or other machines with similar functions; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, when measuring the first surface 2a or the second surface 2b of the light guide plate 2, an adhesion unit (for example, optical glue) may be or not be formed thereon, so the adhesion unit has little impact on the light pattern. The light pattern may comprise azimuth angle ψ and tilt angle θ. The azimuth angle ψ has a range of 0 degrees to 360 degrees. The azimuth angle ψ is, for example, the angle corresponding to different directions on the planer surface of the first surface 2a or the second surface 2b of the light guide plate 2. For example, the location adjacent to the light source 3 may be defined as the azimuth angle ψ of 270 degrees, while the location far away from the light source 3 may be defined as an azimuth angle ψ of 90 degrees. The tilt angle θ is defined as the angle inclined to the first surface 2a or the second surface 2b. The tilt angle θ of 0 degrees represents the direction parallel to the normal of the first surface 2a or the second surface 2b, and the tilt angle θ of 90 degrees represents the direction parallel to the first surface 2a or the second surface 2b, and so on.


In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the light patterns are measured on the first surface 2a of the light guide plate 2 having the recessed structure 21 with different angles (for example, the first angle θ1 and the second angle θ2), and L % is calculated using the following equation (1) to obtain the luminance (L %) of each angle combinations, as shown in Table 1.

When L % is greater than 40%, it means that the electronic device is prone to glare at a positive view angle; when L % is less than 5%, it means that the brightness of the electronic device at a positive view angle is too dark. Thus, when the light emitting from the light source 3 passes through the light guide plate 2, in the first light pattern measured from the first surface 2a, a ratio of the brightness at 0° view angle (0=0°) to the maximum brightness is between 0.05 and 0.4, i.e. L % is between 5% and 40% (5%≤L %≤40%), the design of the corresponding recessed structure 21 can make the light guide plate 2 have better light guide effect (the effect of guiding light to the reflective panel 1). In addition to maintaining the appropriate brightness of the positive view angle, it can also improve or reduce glare.


In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the light patterns are measured on the first surface 2a and the second surface 2b of the light guide plate 2 having the recessed structure 21 with different angles (for example, the first angle θ1 and the second angle θ2) respectively, and the view angle (θ) range corresponding to the maximum ratio of the center brightness of the first surface 2a to the center brightness of the second surface 2b (i.e. the center brightness of the first surface 2a/the center brightness of the second surface 2b) is calculated. Each angle combinations can be obtained, as shown in Table 2.

When the maximum ratio of the center brightness of the first surface 2a to the center brightness of the second surface 2b (i.e. the center brightness of the first surface 2a/the center brightness of the second surface 2b) corresponds to the view angle (θ) ranging from 0° to 40°, it means that the electronic device has better luminous efficiency at a general view angle (the view angle (θ) is between 0° and 40°). Thus, when light emitting from the light source 3 penetrates through the light guide plate 2, the first light pattern is measured from the first surface 2a, the second light pattern is measured from the second surface 2b, and a maximum ratio of the brightness of the first light pattern to the brightness of the second light pattern is located at a view angle (θ) greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 40°. That is, when the maximum ratio of the center brightness of the first surface 2a to the center brightness of the second surface 2b (i.e. the center brightness of the first surface 2a/the center brightness of the second surface 2b) corresponds to the view angle (θ) ranging from 0° to 40°, the design of the corresponding recessed structure 21 can make the light guide plate 2 have better light guide effect. Because the light emitting from the second surface 2b is not used to provide light reflected by the reflective panel 1 and the light emitting from the first surface 2a is used to provide light reflected by the reflective panel 1, the maximum ratio of the center brightness of the first surface 2a to the center brightness of the second surface 2b (i.e. the center brightness of the first surface 2a/the center brightness of the second surface 2b) is designed to correspond to the view angle (θ) between 0° and 40° to have better light guide effect to ensure higher brightness at the view angle (θ) ranging from 0° to 40°. In other words, by the matching design of the first angle θ1 and the second angle θ2 of the recessed structure 21, the maximum ratio of the center brightness of the first surface 2a to the center brightness of the second surface 2b (i.e. the center brightness of the first surface 2a/the center brightness of the second surface 2b) can correspond to the view angle (θ) ranging from 0° to 40°, and the light guide plate 2 with this design may have better light guide effect, ensuring higher brightness at the view angle (θ) ranging from 0° to 40°.


In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the light patterns are measured on the first surface 2a and the second surface 2b of the light guide plate 2 having the recessed structure 21 with different angles (for example, the first angle θ1 and the second angle θ2), and the luminance of the first surface 2a and the second surface 2b is calculated using the following equation (2) to obtain the luminance of each angle combinations, as shown in Table 3.





Luminance=L2a/L2b  Equation (2):


Herein, L2a is the average brightness measured from the first surface 2a at the view angle (θ) ranging from 10° to 30°; and L2b is the average brightness measured from the second surface 2b at the view angle (θ) ranging from 10° to 30°. The “average brightness” refers to, for example, the result obtained by measuring the brightness at the view angles of 10°, 20° and 30° respectively and averaging the obtained three values.

The light emitting from the second surface 2b is not used to provide light reflected by the reflective panel 1 and the light emitting from the first surface 2a is used to provide light reflected by the reflective panel 1, so when the ratio of the brightness of the first surface 2a to the brightness of the second surface 2b is larger, the light that the light guide plate 2 can provide is more. Thus, the light guide efficiency of the light guide plate 2 can be increased, and higher brightness can be obtained at the view angle (θ) ranging from 10° to 30°. Thus, when light emitting from the light source 3 passes through the light guide plate 2, the first light pattern is measured from the first surface 2a, the second light pattern is measured from the second surface 2b, and a ratio of the brightness of the first light pattern to the brightness of the second light pattern is greater than or equal to 5 at the view angle between 10° and 30°. In this case, the corresponding design of the recessed structure 21 can make the light guide plate 2 have better light guide effect.

In other embodiments, the touch layer 6 and/or the adhesion unit 10 may be omitted; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

In some disclosures, the loss tangent (tan δ) of the adhesion unit 4 at 30° C. is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 5; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In some disclosures, the loss tangent (tan δ) of the adhesion unit 4 at 30° C. is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 4; but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Loss tangent(tan δ)=loss modulus/storage modulus


Through designing the range of the above-mentioned storage modulus, loss modulus and/or loss tangent of the adhesion unit 4, the probability of the adhesion unit 4 filling the recessed structure of the light guide plate can be reduced.
