Abstract

A diffusion sheet, a backlight module and a double-sided display device are provided. A transflective layer is provided on one surface of a substrate layer. On one hand, a portion of the light incident from an opposite side of the substrate layer is transmitted to a first display panel via the diffusion sheet; on the other hand, another portion of the light is reflected back to the light guide plate and enters a second display panel on another side of the double-sided backlight module.

Claims (50)

1. A diffusion sheet, comprising:

a substrate layer, comprising a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other; and

a transflective layer, disposed on the first surface;

wherein the transflective layer transmits a portion of light incident from the second surface and reflects another portion of the light incident from the second surface,

the transflective layer comprises reflective regions and transmissive regions, and the reflective regions and the transmissive regions being arranged alternately,

an arc-shaped recessed structure is provided on a surface of each of the transmissive regions proximal to the substrate layer; and

an arc-shaped recessed structure is provided on a surface of each of the transmissive regions distal to the substrate layer.

2. The diffusion sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

a reflective material is provided on a surface of each of the reflective regions proximal to the substrate layer and/or on a surface of each of the reflective regions distal to the substrate layer, and

each of the transmissive regions is made of a light transmissive material.

3. The diffusion sheet according to claim 2 , wherein

a surface of each of the reflective regions proximal to the substrate layer is a smooth plane; and/or

a surface of each of the reflective regions distal to the substrate layer is a smooth plane.

4. The diffusion sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the reflective regions is made of a reflective material, and

each of the transmissive regions is made of a light transmissive material.

5. The diffusion sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the transmissive regions and each of the reflective regions are both made of a transflective material.

6. The diffusion sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the arc-shaped recessed structure has two recesses on two opposite sides of the arc-shaped recessed structure.

7. The diffusion sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the arc-shaped recessed structure has a maximum recess depth of about 0.02 um to 0.5 um.

8. The diffusion sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the reflective regions and the transmissive regions are arranged in columns along a width direction of the transflective layer, and

columns of reflective regions and columns of transmissive regions are arranged alternately along a length direction of the transflective layer.

9. The diffusion sheet according to claim 1 , further comprising a diffusion structure for increasing an emergent angle of light, wherein

the diffusion structure is located at the second surface of the substrate layer;

the diffusion structure comprises a plurality of particles, and each particle has a radius of about 0.001 um to 0.1 um; and

a surface of each of the particles is subjected to an atomization process.

10. A backlight module, comprising a first diffusion sheet, a light source and a light guide plate, wherein

the light source is located on a side of the light guide plate,

the first diffusion sheet is located on a light exit surface of the light guide plate, and

the first diffusion sheet is the diffusion sheet according to claim 1 .

11. The backlight module according to claim 10 , further comprising a second diffusion sheet, wherein

the first diffusion sheet and the second diffusion sheet are located on two light exit surfaces of the light guide plate, respectively.

12. A single-sided display device, comprising a first display panel and the backlight module according to claim 10 , wherein

the first display panel is located on a side of the first diffusion sheet distal to the light guide plate.

13. A double-sided display device, comprising a first display panel, a second display panel, and the backlight module according to claim 11 , wherein

the backlight module is located between the first display panel and the second display panel;

the first display panel is located on a side of the first diffusion sheet distal to the light guide plate; and

the second display panel is located on a side of the second diffusion sheet distal to the light guide plate.

14. A method of manufacturing the diffusion sheet according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

forming the substrate layer; and

forming the transflective layer on the first surface of the substrate layer.

15. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising forming a diffusion structure on the second surface of the substrate layer, wherein

a reflective material is provided on a surface of each of the reflective regions proximal to the substrate layer and/or on a surface of each of the reflective regions distal to the substrate layer; and

each of the transmissive regions is made of a light transmissive material.

16. The method according to claim 14 , wherein

each of the reflective regions is made of a reflective material; and

each of the transmissive regions is made of a light transmissive material.

17. The method according to claim 14 , wherein

each of the reflective regions and each of the transmissive regions are both made of a transflective material.
