Description

導光膜、背光模組及顯示裝置 Light guide film, backlight module and display device

本發明是有關於一種導光膜、背光模組及顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種可提升出光顏色均勻性的導光膜、背光模組及顯示裝置。 The present invention relates to a light guide film, a backlight module and a display device, and in particular, to a light guide film, a backlight module and a display device that can improve the color uniformity of light output.

隨著顯示裝置朝向輕薄化發展,背光模組中的導光板(Light Guiding Plate)逐漸被導光膜(Light Guiding Film)取代。 As the display device becomes thinner and lighter, the Light Guiding Plate in the backlight module is gradually replaced by the Light Guiding Film.

雖然使用導光膜有利於顯示裝置的輕薄化,然而,如何提升顯示裝置的出光顏色均勻性仍是相關業者所面臨的一大挑戰。以底面形成有角形長條結構(V-cut)的導光膜為例,當使用白光發光二極體(Light Emitting Diode,LED)作為光源,由於LED具有顏色隨角度變化(color over angle,COA)的特性,當LED的光線進入導光膜並碰到底部的V-cut時,大角度的黃光會先出光,而使背光模組靠近光源的一端偏黃、遠離光源的一端偏藍。再以底面形成有雷射網點的導光膜為例,基於導光膜所使用材質易吸收黃光,會使背光模組靠近光源的一端偏藍、遠離光源一端偏黃,而造成色差。 Although the use of the light guide film is beneficial to the lightness and thinness of the display device, how to improve the color uniformity of the light emitted from the display device is still a major challenge faced by the related industry. Taking a light guide film with a V-cut structure formed on the bottom surface as an example, when a white light emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode, LED) is used as the light source, since the LED has a color over angle (COA) ) characteristics, when the light of the LED enters the light guide film and hits the V-cut at the bottom, the yellow light with a large angle will emit light first, and the end of the backlight module close to the light source will turn yellow, and the end far from the light source will turn blue. Taking the light guide film with laser dots formed on the bottom surface as an example, the material used in the light guide film easily absorbs yellow light, which makes the end of the backlight module close to the light source bluish and the end away from the light source yellow, resulting in chromatic aberration.

因此,如何改良導光膜的結構及/或材質,以提升背光模組出光顏色的均勻性,遂成為相關業者努力的目標。 Therefore, how to improve the structure and/or material of the light guide film so as to improve the uniformity of the color of the light emitted by the backlight module has become the goal of the related industry.
