Abstract

A light emitting device includes a plurality of light emitting elements emitting lights and a light controller. The light controller is disposed on the light emitting elements for the lights passing through to form output lights, which is switchable in a first state and a second state. In the first state, a first intensity the output lights is measured at a viewing angle of 0°, a second intensity of the output lights is measured at a viewing angle of θ 2 and an azimuth angle of Φ 2 , and a ratio of the second intensity to the first intensity is less than or equal to 0.1, wherein θ 2 ranges from 35° to 55°, and Φ 2 ranges from 0° to 28° or from 152° to 180°.

Claims (16)

1. A light emitting device, comprising:

a plurality of light emitting elements for emitting lights; and

a light controller disposed on the light emitting elements for the lights passing through to form output lights, which is switchable in a first state and a second state;

wherein in the first state, a first intensity of the output lights is measured at a viewing angle of 0°, a second intensity of the output lights is measured at a viewing angle of θ 2 and an azimuth angle of Φ 2 , and a ratio of the second intensity to the first intensity is less than or equal to 0.1, wherein θ 2 ranges from 35° to 55°, and Φ 2 ranges from 0° to 28° or from 152° to 180°.

2. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein θ 2 ranges from 40° to 50°.

3. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein Φ 2 ranges from 7° to 20° or from 160° to 173°.

4. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein θ 2 ranges from 40° to 50°, and Φ 2 ranges from 7° to 20° or from 160° to 173°.

5. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio is less than or equal to 0.01.

6. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light controller comprises an electrically controlled birefringence component.

7. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , wherein the light controller comprises liquid crystal molecules.

8. The light emitting device according to claim 7 , further comprising a first polarizer and a second polarizer, wherein the light controller is disposed between the first polarizer and the second polarizer.

9. The light emitting device according to claim 8 , wherein a transmission axis of the first polarizer is parallel to a transmission axis of the second polarizer.

10. The light emitting device according to claim 8 , further comprising a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the first electrode is disposed between the light controller and one of the first polarizer and the second polarizer, and the second electrode is disposed between the light controller and another of the first polarizer and the second polarizer.

11. The light emitting device according to claim 10 , further comprising a first alignment layer and a second alignment layer, wherein the first alignment layer is disposed between the light controller and one of the first electrode and the second electrode, and the second alignment layer is disposed between the light controller and another of the first electrode and the second electrode.

12. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a display layer disposed between the plurality of light emitting elements and the light controller.

13. The light emitting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a display layer, wherein the light controller is disposed between the display layer and the plurality of light emitting elements.
