We claim:
The present invention relates to the field of lens and glassless 3D displays, particularly to a liquid crystal lens and a liquid crystal display (LCD) device.
The existing lens are optical lens of ordinary type and the focal distances are usually constant, limiting their use in many fields. Take the field of glassless 3D displays as an example, the glassless 3D technique requires that the image signals on the panel of left and right eyes are refracted to the corresponding watching positions of left and right eyes. The familiar glassless 3D technique is that the light paths are designed for index matching by using the lenticular lens. As shown in
In addition to the design of the lenticular lens, there is a common design of the grin lens which use the gradience variation of refractive index. As shown in
The aim of the present invention is to provide a liquid crystal lens with gradience variation of refractive index and a LCD device which can perform 3D display and can switch the 3D display to 2D display conveniently.
The liquid crystal lens of the present invention is achieved by the following technical schemes. A liquid crystal lens comprises a lower layer basal plate provided with an electrode and an upper layer basal plate provided with a counter electrode, wherein the lower layer basal plate and the upper layer basal plate are mutually and oppositely arranged; said electrode and said counter electrode are mutually insulated to form an electric field;
and a liquid crystal layer arranged between said lower layer basal plate and said upper layer basal plate; the liquid crystals of said liquid crystal layer are parallel positive nematic LCs;
the electrode of said lower layer basal plate or the counter electrode of said upper layer basal plate is provided with convex curved structures which increase the distance between the electrode and the counter electrode.
Each said convex curved surface is a curved surface using the central peak thereof as the symmetric center.
Each said convex curved surface is in a semi-sphere structure.
Said liquid crystal lens also comprises a voltage regulating device arranged between the electrode and the counter electrode. The voltage between the electrode and the counter electrode can be dynamically regulated by the voltage regulating device to achieve the aim of dynamically regulating the focal distance of the liquid crystal lens.
The electrode of said lower layer basal plate or the counter electrode of said upper layer basal plate is provided with multiple convex curved structures which have the same shape and are arranged in parallel. Multiple focus points can be formed on one liquid crystal lens, so that the liquid crystal lens is similar to the lenticular lens used in the glassless 3D display.
The thickness of said liquid crystal layer is uniform, and an insulating layer is filled between said liquid crystal layer and the convex electrode or the counter electrode.
The purpose of the LCD device of the present invention is achieved by the following technical schemes. A LCD device comprises a liquid crystal panel and a liquid crystal lens arranged in front of the liquid crystal panel, wherein said liquid crystal lens comprises:
a lower layer basal plate provided with an electrode and an upper layer basal plate provided with a counter electrode, wherein the lower layer basal plate and the upper layer basal plate are mutually and oppositely arranged; and said electrode and said counter electrode are mutually insulated to form an electric field;
a liquid crystal layer is arranged between said lower layer basal plate and said upper layer basal plate; said liquid crystals are parallel positive nematic liquid crystals (LCs);
the electrode of said lower layer basal plate or the counter electrode of said upper layer basal plate is provided with multiple convex curved structures which have the same shape, are arranged in parallel, and increase the distance between the electrode and the counter electrode.
Preferably, each said convex curved surface is a curved surface which is in central symmetry corresponding to its peak.
Said convex curved surface is in a semi-sphere structure.
Said liquid crystal lens also comprises a voltage regulating device arranged between the electrode and the counter electrode.
The thickness of said liquid crystal layer is uniform, and an insulating layer is filled between said liquid crystal layer and the convex electrode or the counter electrode.
Because different tilting angles of the parallel positive nematic LCs are achieved in a gradient electric field, and the electrode of the lower layer basal plate or the counter electrode of the upper layer basal plate is provided with convex curved structures which increase the distance between the electrode and the counter electrode. The present invention achieves the aim of the gradient change of the electric field, and then achieves the gradient change of the refractive index of the liquid crystal lens, so that the passing light can focus. If the liquid crystal lens is used in the LCD device, it can replace the existing grin lens or the lenticular lens to achieve the 3D display effect; and the 3D display can be switched to the 2D display conveniently as long as the voltage between the electrode and the counter electrode of the liquid crystal lens is removed.
Wherein: 1. upper layer basal plate; 2. lower layer basal plate; 3. liquid crystal layer; 4. electrode; 5. counter electrode; 6. insulating layer; 81-83. liquid crystal molecules; 9. convex curved surface; 10. grin lens; 11. liquid crystal display screen; 12. lenticular lens.
The present invention will further be described in detail in accordance with the figures and the preferred embodiments.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the liquid crystals of the liquid crystal layer 3 are parallel positive nematic LCs. When the voltage is imparted to the electrodes (i.e. electrode 4 and counter electrode 5) of the liquid crystal lens, the laying liquid crystal molecules are tilted under the action of the electric field so that the refractive index is changed. The size of the refractive index is related to the tilting angle. The liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer will be tilted at different angles, when different positions in the liquid crystal layer 3 are supplied with different electric field intensity; as a result, different refractive index distribution can be produced. Therefore, as long as the electrode of the lower layer basal plate or the counter electrode of the upper layer basal plate is provided with convex curved structures which increase the distance between the electrode and the counter electrode, the gradient change of the electric field can be achieved; and the gradience variation of refractive index of the liquid crystal lens can be achieved; and the passing lights can focus. When the voltage imparted to the counter electrode 5 of the upper layer basal plate 1 and the electrode 4 of the lower layer basal plate 2 is removed, the liquid crystals lie without being affected by the action of the electric field, and the liquid crystal lens does not have the gradience variation of refractive index.
The grin lens used in the glassless 3D technique has the characteristic of radial gradience variation of refractive index. The pixel can be divided into multiple subpixels by the grin lens, and subpixels can be projected into the left eye and right eye of a watcher respectively so that the 3D image is formed in the head of the watcher. However, because both the gradience variation of refractive index and the focal distance of the grin lens are constant, and because the shape of the grin lens is solid, the LCD device is not easily switched between 2D display and 3D display. Therefore, the aforementioned liquid crystal lens be used in the field of the glassless 3D technique to simulate the grin lens by using the change of the refractive index of the liquid crystals in the electric field, namely the effect of the gradience variation of refractive index is achieved by using the change of the positions of the liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystals, so that the glassless 3D display effect is achieved.
The structure of the liquid crystal lens can be described by using the liquid crystal lens used in the LCD device for glassless 3D display as an example.
The LCD device for glassless 3D display comprises a liquid crystal panel and a liquid crystal lens arranged in front of the liquid crystal panel. The structure of the first embodiment of said liquid crystal lens is shown in
As shown in
Take the liquid crystal lens shown in
Specially, as shown in
The structure of the liquid crystal lens of the embodiment 2 is similar to that of the embodiment 1. As shown in
The structure of the liquid crystal lens of the embodiment 3 is similar to that of the embodiment 1, and is different from that of the embodiment 1 in that, as shown in
The structure of the liquid crystal lens of embodiment 4 is similar to that of the embodiment 3. As shown in
In the present invention, the electrode or the counter electrode of the liquid crystal lens is provided with multiple parallel and gradually convex curved structures with equal distance between each two columns, like the lenticular lens used in the existing 3D display device. Of course, the convex curved structures can be divided into multiple rows additionally, and can also be divided into multiple rows and multiple columns if the liquid crystal lens is large enough.
Because the tilting angle of the liquid crystal molecules is related to the intensity of the electric field, the refractive index with different gradient changes can be obtained by imparting different voltages to the electrodes of the liquid crystal lens, namely the liquid crystal lens can be focalized. Said liquid crystal lens also comprises a voltage regulating device (not shown in the figure) arranged between the electrode and the counter electrode, and the voltage between the electrode and the counter electrode can be dynamically regulated by the voltage regulating device to achieve the aim of dynamically regulating the focal distance of the liquid crystal lens.
The liquid crystal lens can be used in the LCD, namely the liquid crystal lens is arranged on the image plane of the liquid crystal panel. Thus, the lenticular lens or the grin lens used by the existing 3D display device can be replaced, so that the LCD can display 3D images. Meanwhile, the 3D display device using the liquid crystal lens can display 2D images. When 2D image is required to be displayed without displaying the 3D image, the voltage imparted to the electrode of the liquid crystal lens can be removed, so that the liquid crystal lens can not form the refractive index with gradient change; namely the liquid crystal lens is the same as the ordinary light transmitting glass. Said liquid crystal lens can also be used in other fields as long as the convex curved structures are adaptably designed. For example, the liquid crystal lens can replace the optical lens in a camera, and can change the focal distance by regulating the voltage.
The present invention is described in detail in accordance with the above contents with the specific preferred embodiments. However, this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments. For the ordinary technical personnel of the technical field of the present invention, on the premise of keeping the conception of the present invention, the technical personnel can also make simple deductions or replacements, and all of which should be considered to belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
