Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polarization-maintaining optical film, in particular to a polarization-maintaining optical film applied to an LCD linear polarization backlight source and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In the conventional Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) field, the display of the LCD panel requires a backlight module to provide a light source for the LCD panel, and the LED point light source can be converted into a uniform planar light source through various optical films and light guide plates in the backlight module. However, the light energy of the planar light source is actually very inefficient for the liquid crystal panel.
One reason for this is that the transmittance of the lower polarizer (13) of the liquid crystal panel is only 40% (as shown in table 1). Because the conversion efficiency from the point light source to the surface light source is greatly different due to different backlight designs (direct or side-in type), the light energy attenuation process of the traditional liquid crystal display panel to the backlight source is discussed by taking the surface light source as a 100% standard. It can be seen that the loss is the most (about 70%) when the light passes through the optical filter, because the white light is filtered to remove the other two colors to generate RGB monochromatic light, and secondly, the loss is relatively serious (about 60%) when the light passes through the lower polarizer initially, because the ordinary light source forms linear polarization, and needs to go through the dichroic absorption process of the PVA layer, only the linear polarization (22) with the polarization direction parallel to the transmission axis of the polarizer is retained, and the linear polarization (23) in the vertical direction is absorbed, as shown in fig. 1, the light emitted by the backlight module (14) is partial polarization (21), and after the partial polarization (21) passes through the lower polarizer (13), the linear polarization (22) in the parallel direction smoothly transmits, and the linear polarization (23) in the vertical direction is absorbed by the lower polarizer (13), and the linear polarization (23) in the parallel direction is twisted by the liquid crystal and changes the polarization direction when passing through the liquid crystal panel (12), and is converted into the linear polarization (23) in the vertical direction and smoothly transmits from the upper polarizer (11), and the emitted light is finally the linear polarization (23) in the vertical direction.
Table 1 light energy attenuation process of conventional lcd panel to backlight
| Investigation sequence | Attenuation position | Cause of attenuation | Transmittance of light | Residual light energy |
| 6 | Cover plate | Surface reflection | 90％ | 9.2％ |
| 5 | Upper polarizer | Surface reflection | 90％ | 10.3％ |
| 4 | Optical filter | Wavelength cut-off and absorption | 30％ | 11.4％ |
| 3 | Liquid crystal layer | Transmission of polarized light | 95％ | 38％ |
| 2 | Lower polarizer | Surface reflection and polarization | 40％ | 40％ |
| 1 | Area light source | Backlight material light distribution conversion | / | 100％ |
| 0 | Point light source | / | / | / |
If the polarized light of the backlight surface light source is polarized before entering the polarized light, the polarized light is converted into linearly polarized light parallel to the backlight surface light source, so that the transmittance of the polarized light to the backlight surface light source is greatly improved, the utilization rate of the whole liquid crystal panel to the surface light source is greatly improved, the brightness of the display is improved, and the electricity and the energy are saved.
The traditional synergy scheme is back-end polarization, that is, a reflection type polarizer (RP) (15) adopting a multilayer film system design is added to the original backlight framework: the reflection type polarizer (15) can transmit the completely polarized P light and reflect the S light; the S light can emit depolarized light in the backlight system to reform partial polarized light; part of the polarized light is repeatedly transmitted from the RP to generate more P light; circulating for many times until the energy is exhausted; the increased P light can increase the light energy utilization rate by 20-30% compared with the original structure. As shown in fig. 2, the light emitted from the backlight module (14) is partially polarized light (21), the partially polarized light (21) enters the reflective polarizer (15), and the reflective polarizer (15) can transmit linearly polarized light (22) in the parallel direction and reflect linearly polarized light (23) in the perpendicular direction; linearly polarized light (23) in the vertical direction can be depolarized in the backlight system to form partially polarized light (21) again; after the linearly polarized light (22) in the parallel direction passes through the lower polarizer (13), the linearly polarized light (22) in the parallel direction smoothly transmits, no linearly polarized light (23) in the vertical direction is absorbed at the moment, the linearly polarized light in the parallel direction is twisted by liquid crystal when passing through the liquid crystal panel (12), the polarization direction is changed, the linearly polarized light is converted into the linearly polarized light (23) in the vertical direction and smoothly transmits from the upper polarizer (11), and emergent light is finally the linearly polarized light (23) in the vertical direction.
However, the reflective polarizer is very expensive due to its complicated equipment and process, and low supply resources. Therefore, there is a need to propose new synergistic solutions.
Another feasible scheme is front-end polarization, namely a backlight module adopts a linear polarization point light source to emit linearly polarized light from the beginning, and the direction of the polarized light is consistent with the transmission axis of the lower polarizer (13). As shown in fig. 3, the light emitted by the backlight module (14) is linearly polarized light (22) in the parallel direction, after the linearly polarized light (22) passes through the lower polarizer (13), the linearly polarized light (22) in the parallel direction smoothly transmits, when the linearly polarized light passes through the liquid crystal panel (12), the linearly polarized light is twisted by the liquid crystal and changes the polarization direction, the linearly polarized light is converted into linearly polarized light (23) in the vertical direction and smoothly transmits from the upper polarizer (11), and the emergent light is finally linearly polarized light (23) in the vertical direction. However, in the process of converting the linear polarization point light source into the surface light source, because the conventional optical film has optical anisotropy, the polarization maintaining degree is very low (completely polarized light is incident, and more or less depolarization occurs through the optical film, so that the polarization degree of the emergent light is reduced, and partial polarized light is generated, the ratio of the polarization degree of the emergent light to the polarization degree of the incident light, namely the polarization maintaining degree, and the polarization maintaining degree can also be expressed by the polarization degree of the emergent light because the polarization degree of the incident light is 1, generally between 50% and 70%, and finally the polarization degree of the surface light source is reduced sharply, so that a significant depolarization phenomenon occurs, while the partial polarized light is still filtered by the lower polarizer to a large extent, and the synergy expectation cannot be reached, as shown in fig. 4, after the linearly polarized light (22) in the parallel direction passes through the conventional optical film (3), the emergent light is partial polarized light (21), after the partial polarized light (21) passes through the lower polarizer (13), the linearly polarized light (22) in the parallel direction is smoothly transmitted, the linearly polarized light (23) in the perpendicular direction is smoothly absorbed by the lower polarizer (13), and when the linearly polarized light passes through the lower polarizer (12), the liquid crystal panel (23), the linearly polarized light is finally changed into linearly polarized light (23), and the linearly polarized in the perpendicular direction perpendicular to be transmitted from the liquid crystal panel (11).
