Micro-projection dynamic backlight for multi-view 3D display

A micro-projection dynamic backlight for multi-view three-dimensional(3 D) display is proposed. The proposed backlight includes a light emitting diodes(LEDs) array, a lenticular lens array, and a scattering film. The LED array, the lenticular lens,and the scattering film construct a micro-projection structure. In this structure, the LEDs in the array are divided into several groups. The light from each LED group can be projected to the scattering film by the lenticular lens and forms a series of bright stripes. The different LED groups have different horizontal positions, so these bright stripes corresponding to different LED groups also have different horizontal positions. Therefore, they can be used as a dynamic backlight.Because the distance between the LEDs array and the lenticular lens is much larger than the distance between the lenticular lens and the scattering films, the imaging progress will make the width of the bright stripes much smaller than that of the LEDs, and the pitch of the stripes is also decreased. According to the 3 D display theory, the bright stripes with small width and pitch help to increase the number of views. Therefore, the proposed micro-projection dynamic backlight is very suitable for multi-view 3 D display. An experimental prototype was developed, and the experimental results show that the micro-projection dynamic backlight can correctly complete the directional projection of the parallax images to form a 3 D display.

应用在大尺寸LCD背照明的LED元件设计

传统的薄膜晶体管液晶显示器(thin film transistor liquid crystal display,TFT-LCD)通常采用冷阴极荧光灯(cold cathode fluorescent lamps,CCFL)作为背光光源。相比较而言,由于发光二极管(LED)TFT-LCD背光源系统色彩还原性好、对比度高、亮度高,其色域是传统CCFL背光源的150%以上,最近几年,RGBLED背光源已经逐渐成为大尺寸背光源发展的主要方向。大尺寸LED背光系统结构主要采用直下式和侧式结构。直下式背光源具有结构简单、光利用率高的特点,是目前大尺寸液晶显示背光源的首选。以RGBLED作为光源,通过对LED光场分布的模拟分析,提出一种新的直下式背光源的光学设计。背光源模拟表明,该背光源亮度均匀性大于80%,色差小于0.01。     

A polarized laser backlight using a zero-zero-birefringence polymer for liquid crystal displays

We have demonstrated a polarized laser backlight for liquid crystal displays and have investigated its basic polarization properties. To maintain the state of polarization of light propagating through the light-guide plate (LGP) of the backlight, we fabricated the LGP by injection molding of a zero-zero-birefringence polymer, poly(methyl methacrylate-co-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate-co-benzyl methacrylate) (52: 42: 6 by mass) that is free of both orientational and photoelastic birefringence. The degree of polarization of light from the resulting backlight (average: 92.4%) was much higher than that from a backlight with a polycarbonate LGP (average: 8.0%) in the defined effective range of the backlight. A laser speckle pattern was observed but the speckle contrast on the output surface of the backlight was reduced from 68 to 10% by vibrating a diffuser sheet situated in front of the output surface of the LGP. We also manufactured a white surface light source [chromaticity (value: x, y) = (0:310, 0:314)] by mixing the outputs from three primary-color-emitting lasers in the backlight.     

Optical film with microstructures array for slim-type backlight applications

A novel optical film with optical microstructures is proposed for enhancing the light control in slim-type backlight modules. The proposed film enables a homogeneous luminance distribution to be obtained though an appropriate adjustment of the filling ratio of the optical microstructures in different regions of the backlight unit. The simulation results show that the luminance provided by a backlight incorporating a filling-ratio-optimized optical film and a pyramid-structured brightness enhancement film is approximately 1.5 times of the luminance obtained from a backlight with conventional optical films. In addition, the proposed film enables a significant reduction in the thickness of the backlight unit. Thus, the novel optical film is suitable for a slim bottom-lit backlight module.

Ultra slim and bendable backlight system with a unified component for liquid crystal display applications

Our research group has developed an ultra slim and bendable backlight system, which was manufactured by a continuous roll-to-roll process, with a unified component for liquid crystal display (LCD). This backlight system, which has a thickness of 0.26 mm, is simply composed of a light guide film and an optically patterned film made of photocurable resin with micro particles, consequently it does not require any additional optical films such as prism sheets or diffuser. In addition, we have developed a new light guide component which is composed of bundled optical fibers in order to collimate light from the light source to the light guide film. We found that the backlight system could be radiated uniformly across the LCD surface whether plane or curved, and we were able to realize an advanced LCD with good flexibility, high efficiency and high productivity.     

微粗糙基底上多层涂层光散射偏振建模与特性研究

为满足多层涂层目标的偏振探测需求,基于一阶矢量扰动理论,结合偏振传输矩阵,建立微粗糙基底上多层涂层的光散射偏振双向反射分布函数模型,研究多因素影响下两种典型涂层目标,单层减反射涂层和多层高反射涂层的光散射偏振特性,结果表明单层减反射涂层目标的偏振度受观测位置影响,峰值左侧的偏振度较之裸基底增大,右侧反之,探测不同观测角下的偏振度可区分无涂层和涂层目标。不同观测角和入射波长下,多层高反射涂层目标的偏振度与涂层层数和涂层光学厚度显著相关,层数增加,多层涂层在镜反射附近具有去偏作用。仿真结果符合测量数据,验证了多涂层目标散射偏振模型的正确性与合理性,为实现多涂层目标偏振探测和反射隐身技术提供理论依据。     

Extraction of Waveguided Llight by Anisotropic Scattering Polarizer in Organic Electroluminescent Devices

We demonstrated that the anisotropic scattering polarizer (ASP) laminated to a glass substrate surface increased the optical efficiency of an organic electroluminescent (EL) device for liquid crystal display (LCD) backlight applications. ASP was prepared by drawing the liquid crystal polymer (LCP) dispersed poly(carbonate) film and extracted the emitting light trapped in the substrate of an organic EL device involved in polarization selectivity. Light extraction ability and polarization selectivity were changed by thickness of the electron transporting layer (ETL) of the organic EL device. Optical efficiency of a 60 nm thick ETL device through absorbing polarizer was not much improved by the lamination of ASP, whereas low efficiency of a 120 nm thick ETL device was greatly improved by this lamination due to extraction of the waveguided light as a substantially polarized emission. Although the degree of increase for the 120 nm thick ETL device was very large, the final optical efficiency was less than or only comparable to that of the thinner device. In 90 nm thick ETL device, however, the lamination of ASP increased the optical efficiency by a factor of 1.2–1.3 against a 60 nm thick ETL device. © 2004 The Optical Society of Japan     

基于Mie散射理论的C@H_2O复合粒子散射特性研究

大气中大量存在的复合粒子会对激光传输效率产生很大影响。由于空气中水蒸气含量较高,以C作为凝结核外层包裹以水的核壳结构微粒对光传输具有明显的散射效应。本文应用Mie散射理论对C@H_2O核壳结构微粒的散射特性进行了理论分析和数值计算,首先给出了不同入射波长、核粒子半径以及水膜厚度条件下散射强度分布变化曲线;其次给出了不同入射波长、核粒子半径以及水膜厚度条件下偏振变化情况;最后讨论了光学截面与粒子半径之间的关系。结果表明各参数对前向散射强度影响较大,入射波长越大散射强度越弱,C核半径增大粒子的前向散射增强,水膜厚度增大粒子的前向散射增强,而后向散射无明显影响;入射波长较大时,粒子在多个角度出现线偏振光,入射波长增大、碳核半径变大、水膜厚度增大,偏振度峰值都会增多;随着入射波长的增大,散射截面最大峰值位置向着半径增大的方向移动,并伴随一定的振荡现象,散射和消光截面在碳核半径为0.1μm左右达到最大值。     

Anisotropic laser-induced evaporation of graphite films

An experimental investigation of the effect of linearly polarized high-energy pulsed laser light, normally incident on a carbon thin film, is reported. The material under study consists of platelike graphite crystallites with basal crystallographic planes mostly oriented perpendicular to the substrate surface. An increase is revealed in the fraction of the graphite crystallites oriented perpendicular to the polarization plane. Laser light is found to cause significant anisotropy in diffuse scattering by the film surface. Experimental observations are explained by a model of anisotropic evaporation of graphite-like carbon material due to polarization dependence of the absorption and reflection coefficients for a rough surface.

Calculating model for equivalent consumption efficiency in polarization measurement system of oil-spilled on the sea

As a new analytical method to identify oil spill on sea, the main effect of polarization measurement system is the scattering polarization information of different measured parts. This paper observed the polarization characteristic of oil film and seawater, and analyzed the transmission path of polarized light in the samples. Combined with Fresnel formula and law of Beer, the path of polarized light was divided into three parts, and the light propagation between the molecules was analyzed in detail. The results were affected by the capacity to change the polarization state. In order to quantify the equivalence, we defined an equivalent consumption efficiency (ECE). The ECE describes the ability of the molecules to weaken the polarization attribute of incident light. Then according to the polarization information in Mueller matrix, we inferred that the oil film and seawater had different polarization characteristics. In order to verify the correctness of the model, we applied it to detect the actual oil spill on sea in the case of simulated sunlight finally. Research indicated that the propagation path of polarization light was in connection with the molecular structure and interactions of medium. Under the different measuring angles, the ECE of oil film and seawater have both differences and regularities, the experimental results indicated that it can be used for rapid detection of oil spill on sea, and the data is accurate and reliable.     

Design a backlight system to a LCD of vertical-field-switching blue phase

We propose a backlight system for a vertical-field-switching blue phase liquid crystal display. Because the blue phase liquid crystal display needs an oblique incident light source of a backlight system, we designed the backlight system that consisted of a light guide plate and a specially designed prism film. We simulated the backlight system by optical software (TraceProTM) and the performance of the blue phase liquid crystal display by liquid crystal software (TechWiz). The result showed that the contrast ratio of the blue phase liquid crystal display can be over 2000 and the uniformity was 86%. The designed applicable backlight system will be illustrated in the vertical field switching blue phase liquid crystal display.     

Polarization of light transmitted through a polymer film with nanosized droplets of liquid crystal

A method is developed for analyzing the state of polarization of a plane wave transmitted through a polymer-dispersed liquid-crystal (PDLC) film with nanosized liquid-crystal (LC) droplets. This method is based on the anisotropic-dipole approximation for describing scattering by a separate droplet and on the Foldy-Twersky approximation for describing propagation of light in a film. Equations are obtained that relate the ellipsometric parameters of coherent (direct) light transmitted through a PDLC film to the order parameters that characterize the morphological and structural properties of the film. Elliptic and circular polarizations and the rotation of the plane of polarization of a wave transmitted through a film are investigated under the normal illumination of the PDLC film by a linearly polarized plane wave. The order parameters of the PDLC film are determined as a function of a control field under the transition from a partially ordered structure of optical axes of LC droplets to a homeotropic structure.

The effect of multiple scattering in disperse media on polarization characteristics of scattered light

The effect of scattering of different multiplicity on polarization characteristics of scattered light is studied by the Monte Carlo computer simulation technique. The scattering multiplicity distribution versus the direction of scattering and dimensions of the scattering system is obtained for monodisperse systems of spherical particles of different size. The angular dependences of the elements of the light-scattering matrix (LSM) are calculated. It is shown that in a system of spherical particles, specific features of the LSM structure associated with multiple scattering have much in common with similar features of the LSM in systems of nonspherical particles under conditions of single scattering. The angular dependences of the degree of depolarization of the scattered light are studied.
