Panel display device
View Patent ↗A panel display device is provided, which includes: a transparent back panel having a first surface and a second surface, where the first surface is adapted for reflecting incident lights from the outside, and the second surface is adapted for transmitting lights from the outside; a backlight source, disposed at one side of the second surface of the transparent back panel, which is adapted for emitting lights to the transparent back panel; a polarized grating, disposed at one side of the first surface of the transparent back panel, which includes a plurality of grating strips with gaps formed between neighboring grating strips, where the polarized grating enables the incident lights from the transparent back panel to be polarized and then pass through the gaps; a semiconductor switch array; and a transmission light valve array. The panel display device of the disclosure increase the utilization efficiency of lights.
1. A panel display device, comprising:
a transparent back panel, having a first surface and a second surface, where the first surface is adapted for reflecting incident lights, and the second surface is adapted for transmitting incident lights;
a backlight source, disposed at one side of the second surface of the transparent back panel, which is adapted for emitting lights to the transparent back panel;
a polarized grating, disposed at one side of the first surface of the transparent back panel, which comprises a plurality of grating strips with gaps formed between neighbouring grating strips, where the polarized grating enables the incident lights from the transparent back panel to be polarized and then pass through the gaps, and where a surface of the polarized gating near to the first surface of the transparent back panel is a reflection surface, so that a portion of the incident lights which are incident to the reflection surface can be reflected to the backlight source;
a semiconductor switch array, disposed at one side of the first surface of the transparent back panel; and
a transmission light valve array, disposed at a surface of the polarized grating and the semiconductor switch array, where the surface is far away from the first surface of the transparent back panel.
