Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
The first embodiment is as follows:
in order to reduce the thickness and ensure the display effect of the backlight structure, the present embodiment provides a dot-matrix backlight structure, as shown in fig. 1, including a substrate 1 and a plurality of light emitting chips 2 arranged on the substrate 1 and distributed in an array;
the backlight structure further comprises a first reflection layer 3 arranged on the light-emitting chip, and the first reflection layer 3 at least covers the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2.
The backlight structure further comprises a diffusion layer 4 covering the first reflection layer 3, and a second reflection layer 5 arranged on the diffusion layer.
The covering referred to in this embodiment is partial covering or may be complete covering, for example, in fig. 1, the first reflective layer 3 completely covers the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2, and the diffusion layer 4 covers the upper surface of the first reflective layer 3, but may not cover the side surface of the first reflective layer 3, and certainly, the diffusion layer 4 may also completely cover the side surface of the first reflective layer 3 according to actual needs.
Light rays from the light emitting chip 2 enter the diffusion layer 4 through the first reflection layer 3, are diffused by the diffusion layer 4, then enter the second reflection layer 5, and are emitted through the second reflection layer 5.
That is, in the present embodiment, a part of the light emitted from the light emitting chip 2 along the front light emitting surface can directly penetrate through the first reflective layer 3, the diffusion layer 4 and the second reflective layer 5, and is emitted through the second reflective layer 5. And a part of which can reflect at least once in the reflecting mechanism formed between the first reflecting layer 3 and the second reflecting layer 5. For example, a part of the light may be reflected to the first reflective layer 3 through the second reflective layer 5 and the diffusion layer 4, and the angle of the reflected light may be changed due to the diffusion layer 4, so that the part of the light is reflected to the diffusion layer through the first reflective layer 3 again and then exits from the second reflective layer 5. Of course, there may be a portion of the light reflected twice and finally emitted from the second reflective layer 5 after three or even more reflections, and the specific light propagation process is similar to the foregoing process.
In this embodiment, the first reflective layer 3, the diffusion layer 4, and the second reflective layer 5 are sequentially covered on the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2, so that the backlight structure in the prior art is effectively improved, and in some implementation processes, part of light emitted by the light-emitting chip 2 can be reflected between the first reflective layer 3 and the second reflective layer 5, so that light emitted by the chip is further scattered, and the light emitted by the backlight structure is more flexible.
In addition, compared with the traditional backlight source structure, the dot-matrix backlight source structure of the embodiment can omit structures such as a light guide plate, the size can be thinner, the structure of the product is simpler, the integration is better, and the cost is reduced.
In practical applications, the light emitting surface of the light emitting chip may not be provided with a diffusion layer as required. If the diffusion layer does not contain a luminescence conversion material such as fluorescent powder, the light emitting surface of the chip side is not provided with the diffusion layer. If the diffusion layer contains luminescent conversion materials such as fluorescent powder, the light emitting surface of the chip side is provided with the diffusion layer, so that the light emitting chromaticity can be more uniform, and the light emitted from the diffusion layer on the front surface and the side surface of the chip is converted white light.
In one example, the diffusion layer 4 includes only a positive diffusion region located above the light emitting chip positive light emitting surface. That is, as shown in fig. 1, in this example, a gap between adjacent light emitting chips 2 may be left empty, and no diffusion layer may be provided. The diffusion layer is arranged above the right light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip, so that the material cost is further reduced.
In one example, the diffusion layer 4 includes a front diffusion region located above the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chip, and a side diffusion region located between adjacent light emitting chips. As another arrangement of the diffusion layer, as shown in fig. 2, the diffusion layer 4 includes a front diffusion region disposed above the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chips and a side diffusion region disposed between the adjacent light emitting chips. In this example, the diffusion layer 4 may be directly filled in the upper surface of the first reflective layer 3 and the gap between the adjacent light emitting chips by means of spraying or the like. The diffusion layers 4 are arranged between the adjacent light-emitting chips and above the right light-emitting surface of each light-emitting chip, so that the scattering effect of the diffusion layers can be improved, and the light mixing distance can be further reduced. Meanwhile, the spraying process is adopted, so that the production and manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced.
In one example, as shown in fig. 2, the second reflective layer 5 may be embedded in the diffusion layer 4, the second reflective layer 5 being disposed on the diffusion layer 4 at a position corresponding to the first reflective layer 3. The specific coverage area of the second reflective layer 5 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the area covered by the second reflective layer 5 may be larger than the area of the first reflective layer 3, and in the limit, as shown in fig. 3, the second reflective layer 5 completely covers the upper surface of the diffusion layer 4. In this example, a part of the light emitted by the light emitting chip 2 along the front light emitting surface may directly pass through the second reflective layer 5, and a part of the light may be reflected back to the first reflective layer by the second reflective layer 5, and due to the diffusion layer, the light emitted by the light emitting chip 2 may be further scattered, thereby improving the softness of the light emitted by the light emitting chip 2.
In one example, the thickness of the first reflective layer 3 is in the range of 10-30 μm, the thickness of the second reflective layer 5 is in the range of 10-30 μm, and the thickness of the diffusion layer is in the range of 100-200 μm. For example, the first reflective layer may have a thickness of 12 μm, 15 μm, 19 μm, 21 μm, 27 μm, etc., and the diffusion layer may have a thickness of 110 μm, 130 μm, 145 μm, 165 μm, 180 μm, etc. The thickness of the second reflective layer may be 12 μm, 14 μm, 17 μm, 23 μm, 25 μm, or the like. In this example, the ultrathin effect of the dot-matrix backlight structure can be achieved by designing the thicknesses of the first reflective layer, the diffusion layer and the second reflective layer.
In an example, the material of at least one of the first reflective layer 3 and the second reflective layer 5 comprises a reflective material and glue, and the reflective material is in a weight ratio range of 5% -15% of the glue mixture. The reflective material referred to in this example may be titanium dioxide, ceramic, etc. The reflective materials of the first reflective layer 3 and the second reflective layer 5 in this example may be different, for example, the first reflective layer 3 is mixed with titanium dioxide and glue, and the second reflective layer 5 is mixed with glue, for example, ceramic. The specific reflecting material accounts for 5-15% of the glue mixture by weight, and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the proportion of titanium dioxide in the first reflective layer 3 is 6%, 9%, 11%, etc. The proportion of the ceramic in the second reflective layer 5 is 5%, 8%, 13%, etc. In the example, the reflecting materials such as titanium dioxide and ceramic are selected and mixed with the glue, so that the cost and the process complexity can be effectively reduced.
In one example, the material of the diffusion layer comprises a diffusion material and glue, and the diffusion material accounts for 5% -30% of the weight of the glue mixture. The diffusion material in the embodiment can be diffusion powder, and can also be formed by mixing doped fluorescent powder with glue, wherein the diffusion material accounts for 5-30% of the weight of the glue mixture and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the proportion of the diffusion material in the diffusion layer is 7%, 15%, 23%, etc. The effect of reducing the light mixing distance can be achieved by mixing the conventional diffusion material and the glue in the example, and meanwhile, the conventional diffusion material is convenient to select and low in cost.
In an example, the backlight structure of the present embodiment can be obtained by the following processes:
preparing a first reflecting layer mixed glue aqueous solution, a second reflecting layer mixed glue aqueous solution and a diffusion layer mixed glue aqueous solution in required proportion;
then, arranging a first reflecting layer on the substrate and/or the light-emitting chip by spraying, silk-screen printing or 3D printing and the like;
then, arranging a diffusion layer on the first reflecting layer by adopting a steel mesh coating or mould pressing mode and the like;
and finally, arranging a second reflecting layer on the diffusion layer to obtain the backlight source structure of the embodiment.
According to the backlight source structure, the light mixing distance can be reduced by adding the diffusion powder into the silica gel, so that the light emitted by the backlight source structure is more uniform, the first reflection layer and the second reflection layer can form a part of light reflection mechanism to further scatter the light emitted by the chip, the light is more uniform and softer, therefore, a light guide plate or a diffusion plate is not used in the backlight source structure, the thickness of the whole backlight source structure can be reduced, compared with the traditional technical means, the thickness of the backlight source structure can be reduced by about 30% -50%, and ultra-thinning is realized.
Example two:
in order to reduce the thickness and ensure the display effect of the backlight structure, the present embodiment provides a dot-matrix backlight structure, as shown in fig. 1, including a substrate 1 and a plurality of light emitting chips 2 arranged on the substrate 1 and distributed in an array;
the backlight structure further comprises a first reflection layer 3 arranged on the light-emitting chip, and the first reflection layer 3 at least covers the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2.
The backlight structure further comprises a diffusion layer 4 covering the first reflection layer 3, and a second reflection layer 5 arranged on the diffusion layer.
The covering referred to in this embodiment is partial covering or may be full covering, for example, in fig. 1, the first reflective layer 3 completely covers the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 2, and the diffusion layer 4 covers the upper surface of the first reflective layer 3, but may not cover the side surface of the first reflective layer 3.
Light rays from the light emitting chip 2 enter the diffusion layer 4 through the first reflection layer 3, are diffused by the diffusion layer 4, then enter the second reflection layer 5, and are emitted through the second reflection layer 5.
That is, in the present embodiment, a part of the light emitted from the light emitting chip 2 along the front light emitting surface can directly penetrate through the first reflective layer 3, the diffusion layer 4 and the second reflective layer 5, and is emitted through the second reflective layer 5. And a part of which can reflect at least once in the reflecting mechanism formed between the first reflecting layer 3 and the second reflecting layer 5. For example, a part of the light may be reflected to the first reflective layer 3 through the second reflective layer 5 and the diffusion layer 4, and the angle of the reflected light may be changed due to the diffusion layer 4, so that the part of the light is reflected to the diffusion layer through the first reflective layer 3 again and then exits from the second reflective layer 5. Of course, there may be a portion of the light reflected twice and finally emitted from the second reflective layer 5 after three or even more reflections, and the specific light propagation process is similar to the foregoing process.
In this embodiment, the first reflective layer 3, the diffusion layer 4, and the second reflective layer 5 are sequentially covered on the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2, so that the backlight structure in the prior art is effectively improved, and in some implementation processes, part of light emitted by the light-emitting chip 2 can be reflected between the first reflective layer 3 and the second reflective layer 5, so that light emitted by the chip is further scattered, and the light emitted by the backlight structure is more flexible. In addition, compared with the traditional backlight source structure, the dot-matrix backlight source structure of the embodiment can omit structures such as a light guide plate, the size can be thinner, the structure of the product is simpler, the integration is better, and the cost is reduced.
Different from the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the first reflective layer 3 covers all light emitting surfaces of at least one of the light emitting chips, and the light emitting surfaces of the light emitting chips include a front light emitting surface and four side light emitting surfaces. As shown in fig. 4, in this example, the first reflective layer 3 completely covers all light emitting surfaces of the light emitting chip 2. The first reflecting layer 3 covers all the light-emitting surfaces of at least one light-emitting chip, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting chip can be reflected, and the reflecting effect is enhanced.
As another example, the first reflective layer 3 may cover at least a portion of the area between the light emitting chips 2. As shown in fig. 5, the positions of the intervals between the adjacent light emitting chips 2 on the substrate 1 are also covered with the first reflective layer 3. By adopting the mode, the complexity of the process can be further reduced, and the investment cost can be reduced.
In one example, the diffusion layer 4 includes a front diffusion region located above the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chip, and a side diffusion region located between adjacent light emitting chips.
As another arrangement of the diffusion layer, as shown in fig. 2, the diffusion layer 4 includes a front diffusion region disposed above the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chips and a side diffusion region disposed between the adjacent light emitting chips. In this example, the diffusion layer 4 may be directly filled in the upper surface of the first reflective layer 3 and the gap between the adjacent light emitting chips by means of spraying or the like. The diffusion layers 4 are arranged between the adjacent light-emitting chips and above the right light-emitting surface of each light-emitting chip, so that the scattering effect of the diffusion layers can be improved, and the light mixing distance can be further reduced.
In one example, the second reflective layer 5 may be embedded in the diffusion layer 4, and the second reflective layer 5 is disposed on the diffusion layer 4 at a position corresponding to the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 2. The specific coverage area of the second reflective layer 5 can be set according to actual needs. For example, the coverage area of the second reflective layer 5 may be larger than the area of the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2, and in the limit, the second reflective layer 5 completely covers the upper surface of the diffusion layer 4. In this example, a part of the light emitted by the light emitting chip 2 along the front light emitting surface may directly pass through the second reflective layer 5, and a part of the light may be reflected back to the first reflective layer by the second reflective layer 5, and due to the diffusion layer, the light emitted by the light emitting chip 2 may be further scattered, thereby improving the softness of the light emitted by the light emitting chip 2.
In one example, the thickness of the first reflective layer 3 is in the range of 10-30 μm, the thickness of the second reflective layer 5 is in the range of 10-30 μm, and the thickness of the diffusion layer is in the range of 100-200 μm. For example, the first reflective layer may have a thickness of 11 μm, 14 μm, 17 μm, 22 μm, 25 μm, etc., and the diffusion layer may have a thickness of 105 μm, 120 μm, 135 μm, 155 μm, 170 μm, etc. The thickness of the second reflective layer may be 10 μm, 13 μm, 18 μm, 22 μm, 29 μm, or the like. In this example, the ultrathin effect of the dot-matrix backlight structure can be achieved by designing the thicknesses of the first reflective layer, the diffusion layer and the second reflective layer.
In one example, the thickness of the area of the first reflective layer 3 on the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 2 is smaller than the thickness of the area on the side light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 2. That is, the thickness of the first reflective layer 3 may be non-uniform, and the thickness of the first reflective layer 3 on the side light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2 is thicker than the thickness of the first reflective layer 3 on the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2. Of course, the specific thickness of the second reflective layer 5 may also be different from the thickness of the first reflective layer 3, and may be set according to actual conditions. The uneven thickness setting of first reflection stratum 3 can enlarge the light-emitting angle of chip to effectively weaken the positive light-emitting of chip.
In an example, the material of at least one of the first reflective layer 3 and the second reflective layer 5 comprises a reflective material and glue, and the reflective material is in a weight ratio range of 5% -15% of the glue mixture. The reflective material referred to in this example may be titanium dioxide, ceramic, etc. The reflective materials of the first reflective layer 3 and the second reflective layer 5 in this example may be different, for example, the first reflective layer 3 is mixed with titanium dioxide and glue, and the second reflective layer 5 is mixed with glue, for example, ceramic. The specific reflecting material accounts for 5-15% of the glue mixture by weight, and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the proportion of titanium dioxide in the first reflective layer 3 is 2%, 7%, 10%, etc. The proportion of the ceramic in the second reflective layer 5 is 6%, 11%, 15%, etc. In the example, the reflecting materials such as titanium dioxide and ceramic are selected and mixed with the glue, so that the cost and the process complexity can be effectively reduced.
In one example, the material of the diffusion layer comprises a diffusion material and glue, and the diffusion material accounts for 5% -30% of the weight of the glue mixture. The diffusion material in the embodiment can be diffusion powder, can be formed by doping fluorescent powder and mixing the fluorescent powder with glue, further improves the scattering effect, and can be adjusted according to actual needs, wherein the diffusion material accounts for 5-30% of the weight of the glue mixture. For example, the proportion of the diffusion material in the diffusion layer is 7%, 15%, 23%, etc. The effect of reducing the light mixing distance can be achieved by mixing the conventional diffusion material and the glue in the example, and meanwhile, the conventional diffusion material is convenient to select and low in cost.
According to the backlight source structure, the light mixing distance can be reduced by adding the diffusion powder into the silica gel, so that the light emitted by the backlight source structure is more uniform, the first reflection layer and the second reflection layer can form a part of light reflection mechanism to further scatter the light emitted by the chip, the light is more uniform and softer, therefore, a light guide plate or a diffusion plate is not used in the backlight source structure, the thickness of the whole backlight source structure can be reduced, compared with the traditional technical means, the thickness of the backlight source structure can be reduced by about 30% -50%, and ultra-thinning is realized.
EXAMPLE III
In order to reduce the thickness and ensure the display effect of the backlight structure, the present embodiment provides a dot-matrix backlight structure, as shown in fig. 1, including a substrate 1 and a plurality of light emitting chips 2 arranged on the substrate 1 and distributed in an array;
the backlight structure further comprises a first reflection layer 3 arranged on the light-emitting chip, and the first reflection layer 3 at least covers the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2.
The backlight structure further comprises a diffusion layer 4 covering the first reflection layer 3, and a second reflection layer 5 arranged on the diffusion layer.
The covering referred to in this embodiment is partial covering or may be full covering, for example, in fig. 1, the first reflective layer 3 completely covers the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 2, and the diffusion layer 4 covers the upper surface of the first reflective layer 3, but may not cover the side surface of the first reflective layer 3.
Light rays from the light emitting chip 2 enter the diffusion layer 4 through the first reflection layer 3, are diffused by the diffusion layer 4, then enter the second reflection layer 5, and are emitted through the second reflection layer 5.
That is, in the present embodiment, a part of the light emitted from the light emitting chip 2 along the front light emitting surface can directly penetrate through the first reflective layer 3, the diffusion layer 4 and the second reflective layer 5, and is emitted through the second reflective layer 5. And a part of which can reflect at least once in the reflecting mechanism formed between the first reflecting layer 3 and the second reflecting layer 5. For example, a part of the light may be reflected to the first reflective layer 3 through the second reflective layer 5 and the diffusion layer 4, and the angle of the reflected light may be changed due to the diffusion layer 4, so that the part of the light is reflected to the diffusion layer through the first reflective layer 3 again and then exits from the second reflective layer 5. Of course, there may be a portion of the light reflected twice and finally emitted from the second reflective layer 5 after three or even more reflections, and the specific light propagation process is similar to the foregoing process.
In this embodiment, the first reflective layer 3, the diffusion layer 4, and the second reflective layer 5 are sequentially covered on the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2, so that the backlight structure in the prior art is effectively improved, and in some implementation processes, part of light emitted by the light-emitting chip 2 can be reflected between the first reflective layer 3 and the second reflective layer 5, so that light emitted by the chip is further scattered, and the light emitted by the backlight structure is more flexible. In addition, compared with the traditional backlight source structure, the dot-matrix backlight source structure of the embodiment can omit structures such as a light guide plate, the size can be thinner, the structure of the product is simpler, the integration is better, and the cost is reduced.
Unlike the first and second embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, the backlight structure in the present embodiment may be a combination of two or more structures of the first and second embodiments. For example, in fig. 6, a part of the first reflective layer 3 completely wraps a part of the light emitting chip 2, and a part of the first reflective layer 3 covers only a part of the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 2. The diffusion layer 4 is filled between the first reflection layer 3 and the second reflection layer 5, and the second reflection layer 5 may completely cover the diffusion layer 4. As shown in fig. 7, the second reflective layer 5 may also be disposed on the diffusion layer 4 to completely cover all the front light-emitting surfaces of the light-emitting chip 2.
As another embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, a portion of the first reflective layer 3 may be disposed to cover only a portion of the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chips 2, a portion of the first reflective layer 3 completely covers a portion of the light emitting chips 2, and a portion of the first reflective layer 3 is further disposed in the space between the light emitting chips 2. The customized production can be realized by the structural combination and collocation mode, and meanwhile, the thickness of the first reflecting layer, the diffusion layer and the second reflecting layer which cover the front light-emitting surface of the chip is controllable, so that the size can be thinner.
In one example, the thickness of the first reflective layer 3 is in the range of 10-30 μm, the thickness of the second reflective layer 5 is in the range of 10-30 μm, and the thickness of the diffusion layer is in the range of 100-200 μm. For example, the first reflective layer may have a thickness of 12 μm, 15 μm, 19 μm, 21 μm, 27 μm, etc., and the diffusion layer may have a thickness of 110 μm, 130 μm, 145 μm, 165 μm, 180 μm, etc. The thickness of the second reflective layer may be 12 μm, 14 μm, 17 μm, 23 μm, 25 μm, or the like. In this example, the ultrathin effect of the dot-matrix backlight structure can be achieved by designing the thicknesses of the first reflective layer, the diffusion layer and the second reflective layer.
In one example, the thickness of the area of the first reflective layer 3 on the front light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 2 is smaller than the thickness of the area on the side light emitting surface of the light emitting chip 2. That is, the thickness of the first reflective layer 3 may be non-uniform, and the thickness of the first reflective layer 3 on the side light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2 is thicker than the thickness of the first reflective layer 3 on the front light-emitting surface of the light-emitting chip 2. Of course, the specific thickness of the second reflective layer 5 may also be different from the thickness of the first reflective layer 3, and may be set according to actual conditions. The uneven thickness setting of first reflection stratum 3 can enlarge the light-emitting angle of chip to effectively weaken the positive light-emitting of chip.
In an example, the material of at least one of the first reflective layer 3 and the second reflective layer 5 comprises a reflective material and glue, and the reflective material is in a weight ratio range of 5% -15% of the glue mixture. The reflective material referred to in this example may be titanium dioxide, ceramic, etc. The reflective materials of the first reflective layer 3 and the second reflective layer 5 in this example may be different, for example, the first reflective layer 3 is mixed with titanium dioxide and glue, and the second reflective layer 5 is mixed with glue, for example, ceramic. The specific reflecting material accounts for 5-15% of the glue mixture by weight, and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the proportion of titanium dioxide in the first reflective layer 3 is 6%, 9%, 11%, etc. The proportion of the ceramic in the second reflective layer 5 is 5%, 8%, 13%, etc. In the example, the reflecting materials such as titanium dioxide and ceramic are selected and mixed with the glue, so that the cost and the process complexity can be effectively reduced.
In one example, the diffusion layer is formed by mixing a diffusion material and glue, and the diffusion material accounts for 5% -30% of the weight of the glue mixture. The diffusion material in the embodiment can be diffusion powder, and can be formed by doping fluorescent powder in the diffusion powder and mixing the fluorescent powder with glue, wherein the diffusion material accounts for 5-30% of the weight of the glue mixture and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the proportion of the diffusion material in the diffusion layer is 7%, 15%, 23%, etc. The effect of reducing the light mixing distance can be achieved by mixing the conventional diffusion material and the glue in the example, and meanwhile, the conventional diffusion material is convenient to select and low in cost.
According to the backlight source structure, the light mixing distance can be reduced by adding the diffusion powder into the silica gel, so that the light emitted by the backlight source structure is more uniform, the first reflection layer and the second reflection layer can form a part of light reflection mechanism to further scatter the light emitted by the chip, the light is more uniform and softer, therefore, a light guide plate or a diffusion plate is not used in the backlight source structure, the thickness of the whole backlight source structure can be reduced, compared with the traditional technical means, the thickness of the backlight source structure can be reduced by about 30% -50%, and ultra-thinning is realized.
The present embodiment further provides a display device, which includes the dot matrix backlight structure in the foregoing embodiments.
