Background technology
It is a megatrend of display device functions that 2D/3D switches, and refers to that display device can show the picture of 2D in user's requirement, can show again the picture of 3D, meets the requirement that user is different.
Currently marketed display is all shown as master with plane substantially.Along with scientific and technological innovation and development, three-dimensional (Three-Dimensional, 3D) stereo display technique arises at the historic moment, it is to utilize the mankind by the trickle gap of left eye and object that right eye is seen, also be parallax, carry out the degree of depth of perceptual object, thereby identify the rule of stereopsis, adopt artificial means to manufacture the parallax of right and left eyes, to right and left eyes, send to respectively two sub-pictures of parallax, make beholder's brain after having obtained two sub-pictures of right and left eyes with parallax, produce the sensation of having seen 3-D view.And, this three-dimensional stereo display technique needs beholder to wear various utility appliance at first just can watch three-dimensional image effect, such as seeing stereo-picture by wearing the utility appliance such as the 3D helmet, 3D polaroid glasses or shutter glasses, and the current naked-eye stereoscopic display device that has occurred can watching without utility appliance stereopsis.This naked-eye stereoscopic display device is mainly raster pattern 3D three-dimensional display, by common two dimension (Two-Dimensional, 2D) flat-panel screens (comprising liquid crystal display, plasma display, Field Emission Display and display of organic electroluminescence etc.), coordinate grating to assemble.According to the grating being used in conjunction with, can be divided into slit grating and cylindrical grating, accordingly, raster pattern 3D three-dimensional display also has two kinds of implementations: slit grating formula 3 d display device and microlens array 3 d display device.
Yet slit grating formula 3 d display device utilizes barrier that light is separated into left eye and right eye direction light is realized stereo-picture to form binocular parallax, but inevitably part light is blocked, and causes the reduction of light utilization efficiency.Microlens array 3 d display device is due to light is not blocked, and with respect to slit grating formula 3 d display device, its light utilization efficiency is higher.But, the cylindrical grating that microlens array 3 d display device is used is due to the cause of self material, and the parameters such as focal length, pitch are all fixing and nonadjustable.
For above-mentioned defect, industry has proposed a kind of 3 d display device that uses electrically-driven liquid crystal lens.A kind of 3 d display device that uses electrically-driven liquid crystal lens that patent documentation US5493427 as disclosed on February 20th, 1996 proposes, this 3 d display device coordinates electrically-driven liquid crystal lens to assemble by common 2D flat-panel screens.This electrically-driven liquid crystal lens comprises upper substrate, infrabasal plate, be arranged on a plurality of strip electrodes of upper substrate, be arranged on the electrode layer of infrabasal plate, and the liquid crystal layer between this strip electrode and electrode layer.By strip electrode and electrode layer are applied to required separately voltage, between upper and lower base plate, produce electric field, drive the liquid crystal molecule of liquid crystal layer to deflect.And, the voltage that different strip electrodes is applied is different, make the degree of deflection of liquid crystal molecule of strip electrode of corresponding different voltages also different, the difference of the refractive index of the liquid crystal molecule of the strip electrode of corresponding different voltages while having caused light incident, thereby can form the liquid crystal lens that is similar to cylindrical grating, light is injected after this liquid crystal lens, run into different refractivity liquid crystal molecule there is different refractions, be finally similar to from cylindrical grating and penetrate.This liquid crystal lens is owing to being to add electric drive by strip electrode and electrode layer to form, can be by controlling neatly the distribution of the voltage and the voltage that put on strip electrode, can effectively adjust the parameters such as focal length, pitch of this liquid crystal lens.
An important module that relates to 2D/3D display effect in above-mentioned stereoscopic display device is the type of drive to light guide piece, and existing 2D/3D switches stereoscopic display device type of drive and exists following problem:
When 2D/3D switches stereoscopic display device start, while cutting out due to last time, there is electric charge residue problem in light guide piece, can make light guide piece when 2D/3D switching stereoscopic display device is opened again, be subject to the impact of residual charge, part there will be liquid crystal molecule to erect next situation, produce visual residual (irregular striped or spot), affect the picture quality of 2D and 3D.
