Abstract

A display device including a first light emitting unit, a second light emitting unit, a first optical layer and a second optical layer is disclosed. The first optical layer is disposed on at least one of the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit, and the first optical layer includes a collimating layer. The second optical layer is disposed on the first light emitting unit. The second optical layer is configured to scatter a first light emitted from the first light emitting unit but does not scatter a second light emitted from the second light emitting unit.

Claims (14)

1. A display device, comprising:

a first light emitting unit and a second light emitting unit;

a first optical layer disposed on at least one of the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit, wherein the first optical layer comprises a collimating layer; and

a second optical layer disposed on the first light emitting unit, wherein the second optical layer is configured to scatter a first light emitted from the first light emitting unit but does not scatter a second light emitted from the second light emitting unit,

wherein the display device has a first mode and a second mode, the first light emitting unit is in a turned-on state and the second light emitting unit is in a turned-off state when the display device is in the first mode, and the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit are both in the turned-on state when the display device is in the second mode.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first optical layer is disposed on the first light emitting unit and the second light emitting unit.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second optical layer comprises a diffuser.

4. The display device according to claim 3 , wherein the diffuser comprises a plurality of scattering particles, and a diameter of the plurality of scattering particles ranges from 0.03 micrometers to 3 micrometers.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first optical layer comprises a light guide plate.

6. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first optical layer comprises a light-concentrating layer.

7. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the first optical layer further comprises at least one of a brightness enhancement film, an advanced structured optical composite, a phosphor and a blue light transmitting dichroic mirror, which is stacked with the light-concentrating layer.

8. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the light-concentrating layer comprises a plurality of light-concentrating structures arranged with intervals to form an uneven patterned surface.

9. The display device according to claim 6 , wherein the light-concentrating layer comprises a prism layer.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a half-value angle of the first light after passing through the first optical layer is in a range from −20 degrees to +20 degrees.
