Description

用於顯示器之彩色畫素
本發明是有關於一種用於顯示器之彩色畫素，特別是指一種含有多數個在特定驅動頻率下會被電極化之粒子之彩色畫素。
目前常用的電子紙主要是以電泳式顯示器為主，例如US 7,492,505，此專利揭示一種包含一陣列之電泳單元的電泳式顯示器。該電泳單元如圖1及2所示，每個電泳單元包含一個含有一上電極101之上層10、一個含有一下電極201及至少一平面內電極(in-plane electrode)202之下層20，以及一個填充在每個電泳單元之電泳組成物30。該電泳組成物30含有一介電溶劑301及多數個帶電有色粒子302，其中該等帶電有色粒子302具有相同的電極性。在施加電壓前(如圖1)，該等帶電有色粒子302是呈現分散狀態，此時電泳式顯示器的色彩將由該等帶電有色粒子所提供。當對上、下電極101、201及多個平面內電極202分別施加不同電壓時(如圖2)，該等帶電有色粒子302將會被吸附至上電極101或下電極201，及/或平面內電極202，而電泳式顯示器的色彩將由介電溶劑301或背景所提供。此專利之電泳單元需同時對上、下電極101、201及多個平面內電極202施加不同電壓，所以必須配合特殊之平面內電極，致使製作成本無法有效降低，並且提高製程及驅動技術的成本與困難度。
除了上述運用帶電粒子及平面內電極之方式之外，在本案發明人所提出之專利案US 2009/0135131中，揭示一種運用新穎之粒子驅動方式的顯示器。US 2009/0135131之顯示器，如圖3及4所示，包含一第一基板50、一設置在該第一基板50上之第一電極60、一第二基板70、一設置在該第二基板上之第二電極80，以及一設置在該第一電極60與該第二電極80之間的混合溶液90。該混合溶液90包含一溶液901以及多數個設置在該溶液901之中性微粒子902。如圖3所示，在第一電極60及第二電極80之間未形成一電場前，該等中性微粒子是呈現分散狀態；如圖4所示，當對顯示器提供一具有特定驅動頻率之電壓訊號並使第一電極60及第二電極80之間形成一電場時，該等中性微粒子902將會被極化而形成粒子串結構。在此專利中，僅初步提及粒子極化之驅動方式，尚未提出如何運用此驅動方式來加以製成單色或多色顯示器之具體應用。
因此，本發明之目的，即在提供一種不需平面內電極、並可讓顯示器具有多樣且穩定之色彩變化的用於顯示器之彩色畫素。
於是，本發明用於顯示器之彩色畫素，包含：至少三個子畫素，每一個子畫素含有一個上載體、一個下載體、一個固定至該上載體之上電極、一個固定至該下載體之下電極、一個設置在該上及下電極之間的溶液，及多數個設置在該溶液內之粒子。該等子畫素之粒子會在一特定驅動頻率下被電極化，且該等子畫素在顯示時可具有不同色彩，以及該等子畫素之色彩分別透過該等子畫素之上載體、該等下載體、該等溶液或是該等粒子所提供。
本發明之彩色畫素設置有至少三個子畫素，更利用該等子畫素內之粒子在一特定驅動頻率下會產生電極化並形成穩定粒子串之驅動方式，使得該等子畫素的色彩得以快速且穩定地變化。本發明之彩色畫素的色彩可透過該等子畫素之上載體、下載體、溶液及粒子之色彩配置而可簡易且多樣的變化。此外，當本發明之彩色畫素運用至顯示器時，不需要特別的電極設計及供電單元，可搭配噴墨技術或是其他液體填充技術作成彩色顯示器，並使得製作成本得以降低。
有關本發明之前述及其他技術內容、特點與功效，在以下配合參考圖式之五個較佳具體例的詳細說明中，將可清楚的呈現。但應瞭解的是，該等較佳具體例僅為例示說明之用，而不應被解釋為本發明實施之限制。
在本發明被詳細描述之前，要注意的是，在以下的說明內容中，類似的元件是以相同的編號來表示，且各個較佳具體例是以三個子畫素進行說明，因此在各個較佳具體例中，所顯示之色彩也是由三個子畫素所提供。
本發明之彩色畫素的第一較佳具體例，如圖5及6所示，包含三個子畫素1。每一個子畫素1含有一上載體11、一個下載體12、一個固定至該上載體11之上電極13、一個固定至該下載體12之下電極14、一個設置在該上電極13與下電極14之間的溶液15，以及多數個設置在該溶液15內之粒子16。
較佳地，該等粒子16為中性粒子。
較佳地，每一子畫素1內之該等粒子16含有多數個正電粒子以及多數個負電粒子。在驅動三個子畫素1時，正電粒子與負電粒子將會彼此吸引，並間隔排列而形成多數個粒子串。
在第一較佳具體例中，三個子畫素1內之粒子16的色彩分別為不同且各自選自於紅、綠或藍。在該等子畫素1中，該等溶液15為無色透明、該等上載體11為透明以及該等下載體12為黑色。在此色彩配置中，可知在第一較佳具體例中，每一個子畫素1之色彩是透過各個子畫素1之該等粒子16所提供。
如圖5所示，在該等上及下電極13、14尚未形成一電場前(即，驅動前)，該等子畫素1之該等粒子16會均勻散佈於該等溶液15內，致使入射光線被該等粒子16所反射，也就是三個子畫素1將分別顯示紅光、綠光及藍光，此三種光線再進一步混合後將顯示白色或依紅光、綠光及藍光的強弱而混成不同顏色。如圖6所示，當對該等子畫素1提供一具有特定驅動頻率之電壓訊號並使該等上及下電極13、14之間形成一電場時(即，驅動後)，該等子畫素1內之粒子16將會被電極化而自組裝為多數個粒子串，使入射光線可進入該等子畫素1內並由該等黑色下載體12所反射而將顯示黑色。值得一提的是，各個子畫素被驅動後之成串的程度亦可獨立調整，並用以控制所顯示之光的強度，使各個子畫素的顏色介於粒子的顏色與黑色之間。
較佳地，每一子畫素1更含有一設置在該溶液15與該下電極14之間的介電層(圖5及6未示)。
本發明之用於顯示器之彩色畫素的第二較佳具體例的結構及驅動方式大致與第一較佳具體例相同，不同點在於：第二較佳具體例之該等子畫素1之該等粒子16為黑色、該等溶液15及該等上載體11為無色透明，以及三個子畫素1之該等下載體12的色彩分別為不同且各自選自於紅、綠或藍。在上述色彩配置中，可知在第二較佳具體例中，每一個子畫素1之色彩是透過各個子畫素1之下載體12所提供。此外，在驅動三個子畫素1之前，入射光線會被該等黑色粒子16所反射而顯示黑色；在驅動三個子畫素1之後，入射光線將會通過該等無色透明之上載體11及溶液15而被該等下載體12所反射，也就是三個子畫素1將分別顯示紅光、綠光及藍光，此三種光線再進一步混合後將顯示白色或依紅光、綠光及藍光的強弱不同而混成不同的顏色。
本發明之用於顯示器之彩色畫素的第三較佳具體例的結構及驅動方式大致與第一較佳具體例相同，不同點在於：第三較佳具體例之該等子畫素1之該等粒子16為黑色、該等上載體11為無色透明、該等下載體12為白色，以及三個子畫素1之該等溶液15的色彩分別為不同且各自選自於紅、綠或藍。在上述色彩配置中，可知在第三較佳具體例中，每一個子畫素1之色彩是透過各個子畫素1之溶液15所提供。在驅動前，入射光線會被該等黑色粒子16所反射而顯示黑色；在驅動後，適度入射光線將會通過該等溶液15，因此三個子畫素1將分別顯示強弱可獨立調整之紅光、綠光及藍光。
較佳地，該下載體12為一白色基板。
較佳地，該下載體12包含一白色背光源以及一透明基板(圖5及6未示)。
本發明之用於顯示器之彩色畫素的第四較佳具體例的結構及驅動方式大致與第一較佳具體例相同，不同點在於：第四較佳具體例之該等子畫素1之該等粒子16為黑色、該等溶液15為無色透明、該等下載體12為白色，以及三個子畫素1之該等上載體11各自具有一個透明基板及一個疊置在該透明基板上之有色基板(圖5及6未示)，三個子畫素1之該等上載體11之有色基板的色彩分別為不同且各自選自於紅、綠或藍。在上述色彩配置中，可知在第四較佳具體例中，每一個子畫素1之色彩是透過各個子畫素1之上載體11之有色基板所提供。在驅動前，入射光線會被該等黑色粒子16所反射而顯示黑色；在驅動後，適度入射光線將會通過該透明溶液15並被白色下載體12所反射而通過該等上載體11之有色基板，因此三個子畫素1將分別顯示適當且可調強弱之紅光、綠光及藍光。
較佳地，該有色基板為彩色濾光片。
較佳地，該下載體12包含一白色背光源以及一透明基 板(圖5及6未示)。
本發明之用於顯示器之彩色畫素的第五較佳具體例的結構及驅動方式大致與第四較佳具體例相同，不同點在於：第五較佳具體例之該等子畫素1之該等粒子16為白色、以及該等下載體12為黑色，該等溶液15為無色透明。在驅動前，入射光線會被該等白色粒子16所反射而顯示白色；在驅動後，光線會通過該等溶液15並被該等下載體12所反射而通過該等上載體11之有色基板，因此三個子畫素1將分別顯示黑色或或依紅光、綠光及藍光的強弱不同而混成不同的顏色。
綜上所述，本發明用於顯示器之彩色畫素透過特殊的驅動方式，並配置有至少三個子畫素，再藉由配置上及下載體、溶液及粒子之色彩而讓畫素得以顯示多樣且穩定的色彩變化。
惟以上所述者，僅為本發明之較佳實施例而已，當不能以此限定本發明實施之範圍，即大凡依本發明申請專利範圍及發明說明內容所作之簡單的等效變化與修飾，皆仍屬本發明專利涵蓋之範圍內。
