Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reflective flat panel display device according to the preamble of the appended claim 1.
  • Portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook computers or digital cameras etc. place exceptional demands on the display devices.
  • displays in portable devices must have low power consumption and they must perform well in ambient light conditions.
  • LCDs are based on the use of certain organic molecules, liquid crystals, that can be reoriented by an electric field and thus the transmission of light through a layer containing the liquid crystal material can be altered.
  • LCDs which do not generate light by themselves, can be categorized into reflective and transmissive displays. Reflective LCDs utilize ambient light (or frontlights when necessary) to be visible, whereas transmissive LCDs require the use of additional backlights. Due to the power consumption limitations in portable devices, reflective LCDs are preferred in such applications because the use of power consuming frontlights is necessary only when ambient light level (daylight or artificial light) is not adequate.
  • FEDs Field emission displays
  • CRTs cathode ray tubes
  • FEDs electrons are accelerated in vacuum towards phosphors which become excited and emit glow.
  • Different phosphor materials are used to create primary red, green, and blue (RGB) colours, respectively.
  • the main difference compared to the CRTs is that the electrons are generated by field emission rather than by thermal emission so FED consumes less power than a CRT and does not require any substantial warming up time before it can be viewed.
  • each pixel comprises several thousands of sub-micrometer tips from which electrons are emitted.
  • the major shortcoming of the FEDs is related to problems achieving operating voltages low enough which would allow FEDs to be used in portable devices. Due to the complicated manufacturing process, FEDs are also expensive display devices.
  • a plasma display panel can be characterized as being essentially a matrix of tiny fluorescent tubes which are controlled in a sophisticated fashion.
  • a plasma discharge is first induced by an electric field.
  • the discharge creates a plasma containing ions and electrons which gain kinetic energy from the presence of the electric field.
  • These particles collide at high speed with neon and xenon atoms, which thereby are brought to higher excited states and upon de- excitation to lower states emit ultraviolet radiation.
  • This radiation excites phosphor material, which emits glow.
  • Different phosphor materials are used to create red, green, and blue (RGB) colours, respectively.
  • PDPs The major shortcomings of the PDPs are related to high power consumption and limited possibilities to manufacture display devices thin enough and with pixels small enough to be used in small- size portable devices. Despite of somewhat less stringent requirements on manufacturing technology than for example in the case of FEDs, the price of PDPs is at the moment relatively high.
  • US 6040937 and US 6055090 disclose direct view flat panel displays, which consist of arrays of light modulator cells.
  • a single light modulator cell modulates light by electrostatically varying the spacing of a cavity comprising two walls, one of which is a reflector and the other one is an induced absorber.
  • a single light modulator cell forms an interferometric cavity, where the cavity spacing is adjusted using an electrostatically driven MEMS (Microelectromechanical System) structure.
  • MEMS Microelectromechanical System
  • Silicon-surface micromachining is a recent and rapidly developing technology for fabricating optical MEMS devices, but it is still a rather demanding manufacturing technology.
  • WO 01/48531 discloses a display panel (see especially Figs 49 to 55) in the form of an array of cells each of which comprises two deformable dielectric layers which meet at an interface, at least one of which is a relief forming gel, the other one being typically air.
  • a first electrode is arranged on one side of said layers and a signal electrode on the other side of said layers, there being means for providing signals to the signal electrodes to create reliefs in the cells on the gel surfaces.
  • the periodical, typically sinusoidal reliefs created on the gel surface in each of said cells allows to create images on the display panel, which images are viewable by the naked eye under the effect of light from a scattered source.
  • the major shortcomings of the display panels described in WO 01/48531 may be associated with the practical difficulties in producing desired profiles for the gel reliefs in the cells. This further impairs the light modulating capabilities of the individual cells.
  • the power consumption and thickness of the display devices should also be further reduced.
  • the manufacturing technology of the display devices should be simple in order to allow lower prices.
  • the main purpose of the present invention is to produce a novel direct view reflective flat panel display device which has high image quality, low power consumption and is also easy to manufacture. These properties make the display device according to the invention especially suitable to be used in modern mass-produced portable electronic devices, where the display technologies according to the prior art have not yet proved to provide completely satisfactory solutions.
  • the display device is primarily characterized in what will be presented in the characterizing part of the independent claim 1.
  • the reflective display device is based on creating an electrically tunable resonant reflector cavity, i.e. an interferometric cavity within each pixel in a display matrix consisting of several individually addressable pixels.
  • the optical properties of a resonant reflector cavity i.e. the reflectivity and absorption of incident light, are arranged to be tuned by altering the thickness of a layer of dielectric and viscoelastic material inside the resonant reflector cavity with the aid of electric fields.
  • the basic and main difference in the current invention is that no reliefs are produced to the surface of the dielectric and viscoelastic material, but instead the thickness of said material within a pixel is altered in order to simultaneously maintain a substantially flat surface of the viscoelastic layer inside a certain area defined by the electrode structures. Due to the fact that the viscoelastic material has a different index of refraction compared to the medium forming the necessary gap between the viscoelastic layer and at least one of the opposite electrode structures, the light passing through the viscoelastic layer and said gap experiences a different optical path length depending on the thickness of the viscoelastic layer. This allows to tune the optical properties of the resonant reflector cavity inside a pixel to produce the desired optical function.
  • the display matrix consisting of several electrically tunable resonant reflector cavities is realized in the following manner.
  • a layer of dielectric and transparent viscoelastic material is disposed on a light absorber layer.
  • a transparent front filter plate is located adjacent to the viscoelastic layer, leaving a gap between the surface of the viscoelastic layer and the front filter plate.
  • a transparent row electrode structure is formed on the absorber layer below the viscoelastic layer.
  • a transparent column electrode structure is formed on the front filter plate towards the viscoelastic layer.
  • the row electrode structure and the column electrode structure both consist of separate electrodes arranged in such a manner that said electrodes are capable of being activated by receiving voltages from a voltage source. The activation of the row and column electrodes generates electric field/s between said electrodes in those areas where the row and column electrodes are overlapping, i.e. crossing each other.
  • This provides a pixel-like structure, where pixels are located within the crossing area of a row and a column electrode, and where each pixel can thus be addressed individually by activating corresponding row and column electrodes.
  • the layer of viscoelastic material is deformed and the distance between the surface of the viscoelastic layer and the front filter plate is changed.
  • the front filter plate, the viscoelastic layer and the absorber layer together form a resonant reflector cavity.
  • said resonant reflector cavity can reflect or absorb a range of frequencies of the incident light.
  • the device according to the invention can be used as a direct view reflective flat panel display, where every single pixel is capable of reproducing a wide range of colours.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is that it can be used to create full colour flat panel displays with high effective colour pixel density.
  • the selection of materials and dimensions allows the fabrication of pixels, of which each pixel can be electrically switched between reflecting all colours to absorbing all colours.
  • the device according to invention can be used as a reflective black-and-white-type flat panel display.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is the simpler structure of individual pixels and also the simpler control of the electrode voltages because only a few discrete voltage levels need to be generated instead of continuously adjustable electrode voltages.
  • the selection of materials and dimensions allows the fabrication of a matrix of pixels, so that said matrix contains three or more different types of pixels, each type of pixels capable of being electrically switched between reflecting a certain primary colour to absorbing all colours.
  • a group of adjacent pixels can be used to create a range of colours in similar manner than in a RGB colour system, where colours are created as combinations of the primary red, green and blue colours.
  • An advantage of this approach is the simpler structure and control of individual pixels, but at the same time because of several adjacent pixels are required to form a single "virtual" colour pixel, the effective colour pixel density is somewhat reduced.
  • the device according to the aforementioned third embodiment can be realized by simply adding a mosaic colour filter in front of the previously described black-and-white flat panel display.
  • the creation of primary colours can involve arranging the different types of pixels (corresponding to different primary colours) to be activated with different electrode voltage levels, and/or to have different selection of materials and dimensions in the resonant reflector cavity.
  • the on-off duty cycle of voltages activating the row and column electrodes can be used to adjust the level of brightness of the pixels.
  • the duty cycle can also be used to adjust the relative amount of primary colours when creating a desired colour as a combination of the primary colours.
  • the device according to the invention is significantly more advantageous than prior art devices in providing a possibility to achieve high image quality (brightness, contrast, and colour saturation).
  • the manufacturing of such devices also promises to be relatively easy and economical compared to prior art technologies allowing, for example, the use of a wider variety of substrate materials and simpler manufacturing processes.
