The following drawings are merely examples for illustrative purposes according to various disclosed embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
The disclosure will now be described more specifically with reference to the following embodiments. It is to be noted that the following descriptions of some embodiments are presented herein for purpose of illustration and description only. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to be limited to the precise form disclosed.
Conventional display apparatuses have limited viewing angles. At large viewing angles, the conventional display apparatuses tend to quickly lose contrast and become hard to read. The range of viewing angles is typically determined by several factors. One of the most important factors is brightness of emitting light at large viewing angles. For example, conventional twisted nematic type display apparatuses quickly lose emitting light brightness as the viewing angle increases. Advanced super dimension switch type display apparatuses have much larger viewing angles as compared to the twisted nematic type display apparatuses, however, brightness of emitting light at larger viewing angles in the advanced super dimension switch type display apparatuses is still limited by various factor.
Accordingly, the present invention provides, inter alia, a light diffraction apparatus, a display substrate, a touch substrate, a touch display apparatus, and a method of modulating image display light intensity in a display panel having the light diffraction apparatus, that substantially obviate one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a light diffraction apparatus coupled to a display substrate for diffracting light emitted from a subpixel of the display substrate. In some embodiments, the light diffraction apparatus includes a grating element including a photorefractive material having a holographic grating recorded thereon, configured to diffract the light emitted from a subpixel upon application of an electrical field. Optionally, the grating element is a photorefractive crystal. The holographic grating has a pattern configured to generate a diffracted light so that light exiting from the light diffraction apparatus has a more symmetrical light intensity distribution with respect to a plane normal to the light emitting surface of the display substrate as compared to the light emitted from the subpixel. By making light intensity distribution more uniform at various emitting directions, a much larger viewing angle can be achieved in a display apparatus having the present light diffraction apparatus.
Examples of photorefractive materials include, but are not limited to, inorganic crystals such as BaTiO3, LiNbO3, Bi12SiO20, Bi12GeO20, KNbBO3, InP, GaAs, GaP, and CdTe, and organic photorefractive materials such as organic crystals and photorefractive polymers (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,064,264).
In conventional display apparatuses, light emitting brightness and light intensity distribution at large viewing angles are difficult to control. Taking light emitted from a subpixel as an example, typically the light emitted from a subpixel has an asymmetrical light intensity distribution with respect to the plane normal to the light emitting surface of the display panel. By having the present light diffraction apparatus, light emitting brightness and light intensity distribution at large viewing angles can be improved.
In one example, the present light diffraction apparatus partially covers the light emitting surface of a subpixel to uniformize light intensity distribution at various emitting directions, thereby increasing the viewing angle of the display apparatus. For example, light emitted from the subpixel at a first direction and a second direction having a substantial mirror symmetry to the first direction with respect to a plane normal to light emitting surface of the display substrate may have different intensities. Optionally, a first portion of light emitted from the subpixel along the first direction has an intensity higher than that of a second portion of light emitted from the same subpixel along the second direction. In some embodiments, the first portion of light emitted from the subpixel along the first direction is diffracted by the grating element having the holographic grating, a second portion of light emitted from a same subpixel along a second direction exits the display substrate without being diffracted; the first portion of light emitted from the subpixel is diffracted into a first portion of the diffracted light transmitting substantially along the first direction and a second portion of the diffracted light transmitting substantially along the second direction. Optionally, the grating element comprises a first portion having the holographic grating and a second portion absent of any holographic grating, and the second portion of light emitted from the same subpixel along the second direction transmits through the second portion of the grating element without being diffracted. Thus, light intensity along the second direction is increased by the second portion of the diffracted light, uniformizing light intensity distribution at opposite emitting directions.
In one example, the present light diffraction apparatus covers the entire light emitting surface of a subpixel to uniformize light intensity distribution at various emitting directions, thereby increasing the viewing angle of the display apparatus. For example, light emitted from the subpixel at a first direction and a second direction having a substantial mirror symmetry to the first direction with respect to a plane normal to the light emitting surface of the display substrate may have different intensities. Optionally, a first portion of light emitted from the subpixel along the first direction has an intensity higher than that of a second portion of light emitted from the same subpixel along the second direction. In some embodiments, the first portion of light emitted from the subpixel along the first direction is diffracted by a first portion of grating element having the holographic grating, the second portion of light emitted from a same subpixel along the second direction is diffracted by a second portion of grating element having the holographic grating, the first portion of light emitted from the subpixel is diffracted into a first portion of the diffracted light transmitting substantially along the first direction and a second portion of the diffracted light transmitting substantially along the second direction, and the second portion of light emitted from the same subpixel is diffracted into a third portion of the diffracted light transmitting substantially along the second direction and a fourth portion of the diffracted light transmitting substantially along the first direction. Optionally, the first portion of the diffracted light and the second portion of the diffracted light have a substantially the same intensity. Optionally, the third portion of the diffracted light and the fourth portion of the diffracted light have a substantially the same intensity. Light transmitted from the display panel along the first direction is a combination of the first portion of the diffracted light and the fourth portion of the diffracted light, and light transmitted from the display panel along the second direction is a combination of the second portion of the diffracted light and the third portion of the diffracted light. Thus, light intensities along the first direction and the second direction are evened out by redistributing light along the first direction and the second direction from the subpixel.
In some embodiments, the holographic multi-grating structure in the grating element may be recorded using a laser writing light according to the equation (1):
Λ=λw/(2n sin θw) (1);
wherein Λ is the grating periodicity, n is a positive integer, λw is a wavelength of a diffracted light, θw is a sum of a first angle between a writing light incident to the grating element and a normal of an incident surface of the grating element and a second angle between the normal and a grating vector. The grating periodicity may be adjusted by changing the wavelength of the writing light, and an included angle between two writing light beams. A maximum diffraction intensity of each grating may be controlled by writing duration, thereby forming a multi-grating structure that diffracts light uniformly. According to Bragg's law, only a reading light having a wavelength that meets the following condition set forth in the equation (2) will be diffracted by the grating structure:
Λ=λw/(2n sin θw)=λγ/(2n sin θr) (2);
wherein λγ is a wavelength of a diffracted light, θγ is a sum of a first angle between a light incident to the grating element and a normal of an incident surface of the grating element and a second angle between the normal and a grating vector.
Electrically-controlled diffraction efficiency of the grating element can be calculated according to the equation (3):
When the electrical field E0 applied to two sides of the grating element is zero, the incident light transmits through the grating element without diffraction. When the electrical field E0 applied to two sides of the grating element is larger than zero, an incident light having a wavelength satisfying the equation (2) will be diffracted. The diffraction efficiency increases as the electrical field increases, a maximum diffraction efficiency over 90% may be achieved. By controlling the applied electrical field, a plurality of incident light having a plurality of wavelengths transmitted along a same direction may be diffracted along a same direction. Similarly, by controlling the applied electrical field, a plurality of incident light having a plurality of wavelengths transmitted along a plurality of directions may be diffracted along a same direction. Thus, a pattern of the holographic multi-grating structure in the grating element may be recorded based on the parameters in each subpixel, including the range of light wavelengths, light intensity, propagating directions, and the like, thereby controlling diffracted light intensity distribution at various viewing angles.
In some embodiments, each grating element covers a single subpixel. In some embodiments, each grating element covers a plurality of subpixels. For example, the display panel may be divided into a plurality of sub-regions. Optionally, each sub-region includes a plurality of subpixels having similar light intensity distribution characteristics. By having each grating element covering a plurality of subpixels, the fabricating process may be simplified.
In some embodiments, the light diffraction apparatus further includes an electrode structure configured to apply an electrical field to the grating element. Optionally, the electrode structure includes a first electrode and a second electrode coupled to a first side and a second side of the grating element, respectively. Optionally, the first side and the second side are opposite to each other. Optionally, the first side and the second side of the grating element are substantially perpendicular to the display substrate. Optionally, the first electrode and the second electrode are made of a transparent electrode material.
In some embodiments, the grating element is sandwiched between the first electrode and the second electrode. Optionally, a side of the first electrode facing the first side of the grating element has a substantially the same dimension as the first side of the grating element, and a side of the second electrode facing the second side of the grating element has a substantially the same dimension as the second side of the grating element. Optionally, the side of the first electrode facing the first side of the grating element and the side of the second electrode facing the second side of the grating element are substantially perpendicular to the display substrate. By having this design, the contacting surface between the electrode structure and the grating element can be maximized, and the strength of the electrical field applied to the grating element can be maximized, enhancing the effects of the light diffraction of the light diffraction apparatus.
Optionally, a cross-section of the grating element has a square shape or a rectangular shape. Optionally, a cross-section of the grating element has a parallelogram shape or a trapezoidal shape. Optionally, the cross-section is a cross-section along a plane parallel to the light emitting surface of the display substrate. Optionally, the cross-section is a cross-section along a plane perpendicular to the light emitting surface of the display substrate. Optionally, cross-sections of the grating element along a plane parallel to the light emitting surface and along a plane perpendicular to the light emitting surface have a square shape or a rectangular shape. Optionally, a cross-section of the grating element along a plane parallel to the light emitting surface has a parallelogram shape or a trapezoidal shape, and a cross-section of the grating element along a plane perpendicular to the light emitting surface has a square shape or a rectangular shape.
In some embodiments, the light diffraction apparatus further includes a controller coupled to the first electrode and the second electrode, configured to provide a voltage signal to the first electrode and the second electrode for generating the electrical field. Optionally, the controller is an integrated circuit or a chip with a processor.
In some display panels, or at least in some regions of some display panels, light intensity of light emitted from each of such subpixels varies over various different light emitting directions. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the grating element corresponding to each of such subpixels includes a holographic grating configured to diffract substantially all light emitted from the subpixel, i.e., the grating element includes a holographic grating in areas corresponding to the entire light emitting side of the subpixel, thereby uniformizing the light intensity distribution over the entire subpixel area. In some display panels, or at least in some regions of some display panels, light intensity of light emitted along a certain range of light emitting directions from each of such subpixels is lower (or higher) than that long other light emitting directions. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the grating element corresponding to each of such subpixels includes a first portion having a holographic grating and a second portion without a holographic grating. The light emitted from the subpixel (prior to entering the grating element) includes a first portion of light transmitted along a first direction and a second portion transmitted along a second direction, the first portion having a higher intensity than the second portion. The second portion of light transmitted along the second direction transmits through the second portion of the grating element without being diffracted. The first portion of light transmitted along the first direction enters the first portion of the grating element, and is diffracted into a first portion of diffracted light substantially along the first direction and a second portion of diffracted light substantially along the second direction. By having this design, the light intensity along the second direction is increased. Depending on the types of the display panels and the types of regions of the display panels, the grating elements in the light diffraction apparatus can be designed to have a holographic grating configured to diffract substantially all light emitted from the subpixel, or designed to have a holographic grating configured to diffract a portion of the light emitted from the subpixel.
