A kind of prism film of cambered microstructure
Technical field
The present invention relates to the backlight module optical thin film being applied to field of flat panel displays, particularly can be used for display blast and the prism film expanding view effect.
Background technology
Prism film is exactly the functional optical film of the utilization factor promoting light in backlight module panel.The guide-lighting process in inside of flat-panel monitor is the light " polarization " launched by back light, then converts polarized light to seen image.But these light are often wasted because of scattering in liquid-crystal apparatus, make overall brightness cannot reach expection brightness.And the light that these can slattern by prism film, spectators direction of again leading, promotes the brightness of liquid-crystal apparatus, and the light that Polarizer can also be absorbed in addition reclaims, and promotes the brightness of liquid-crystal apparatus further.In brief, prism film focuses on the light of original dispersion in a certain angular range centered by normal, and the brightness at Shi Zhou center increases greatly.
The principle of work of prism film can represent with Fig. 1.In the drawings, the light entering prism film is divided three classes by prism film:
The first kind is direct emergent ray 110; These light 110 incide in prism facets after being reflected by prism bases.As incident angle is less than the angle of total reflection, they will from the direct outgoing of prism surface.Because have the angle of inclination of prism side and incident angle to be less than the restriction of the angle of total reflection, the light of outgoing can be distributed within the scope of about 70 degree.
Equations of The Second Kind is back into backlight source 120; Such light 120 meets total reflection condition inciding the incident angle on prism surface.Time on the prism surface being reflected to opposite, if incident angle still meets total reflection condition, light is just reflected back toward backlight.These light being reflected back toward backlight again through diffusion sheet, can enter light guide plate again by end reflectors reflects, and then get back to light guide plate, pass through diffusion sheet again, at this moment light is broken up completely, after entering prism film again, is divided into again three lightlike lines and selects.
After 3rd lightlike line is totally reflected once by prism surface, when arriving opposite prism surface, do not meet the light 130 of total reflection condition.These light 130 major parts can enter contiguous prism and then be totally reflected there, return backlight.The light that sub-fraction angle changing rate is large in addition can not enter contiguous prism, and these light finally can be lost.
At present, what the structure relating to prism film in existing technology adopted substantially is wedge angle planar structure, the prism film technical characteristics related to as Shenzhen Innocom Technology Co., Ltd. CN1982918 is the refractive index controlling each layer, thus can reach the polarization effect identical with common two-layer prism film.The micro-prism structure that Youda Photoelectric Co., Ltd CN1658047 proposes, technical characteristics is structure adopts an agent structure and a micro-prism structure, cellular construction is three-in-one, every unit is totally three prism structures, middle one is the right-angle triangle of isosceles, drift angle is right angle, and 2 adjacent prism structures are also isosceles triangles, and just its right angle is adjacent with 2 acute angles of middle isosceles triangle.The structure of this multiple upwards vertical plane it is said the light leakage phenomena that effectively can reduce backlight module, and the shooting angle simultaneously reducing light improves the utilization factor of light.General Electric Co. Limited CN1720469 proposes a kind of micro-prism structure of bottom bend, and its fundamental purpose also improves the phenomenon of light leak with great visual angle.Although these structural designs are provided with very large improvement in light leak, still do not solve viewing angle problem, simultaneously also for the effect that the luminance raising of display material does not also significantly promote.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to overcome the shortcoming existed in prior art, a kind of optical prism film expanding visual angle and increase brightness is provided.
For realizing above-mentioned goal of the invention, the present invention is realized by subordinate's technical scheme:
