The polarizer, the method for manufacturing the polarizer, and the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to fig. 1 to 8. Some well-known structures are shown hidden or transparently in the figure for the sake of clarity in illustrating the structures associated with the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic top view of a polarizer according to an embodiment of the present invention. The polarizer 100 of the present embodiment has a first area AA1, a second area AA2, and a transition area AA3 between the first area AA1 and the second area AA 2.

The polarizer 100 includes a polarizing film 10, the transmittance of the polarizing film 10 of the first area AA1 is greater than that of the polarizing film 10 of the second area AA2, and the transmittance of the polarizing film 10 of the transition area AA3 decreases in a direction in which the first area AA1 points to the second area AA 2. In this embodiment, the transition area AA3 includes a first boundary S1 adjacent to the first area AA1 and a second boundary S2 adjacent to the second area AA2, the transmittance of the first boundary S1 is consistent with the transmittance of the first area AA1, and the transmittance of the second boundary S2 is consistent with the transmittance of the second area AA2, so that the polarizer 100 does not have a significant boundary phenomenon at the boundary between the transition area AA3 and the first area AA1 and at the boundary between the transition area AA3 and the second area AA 2.

In this embodiment, the transmittance of different regions of the polarizer 100 is designed differently, and the transmittance of the polarizing film 10 in the first region AA1 is greater than the transmittance of the polarizing film 10 in the second region AA2, so that the photosensitive elements 220 such as a camera can be disposed below the polarizer 100 in the first region AA1, thereby improving the working performance of the photosensitive elements 220 such as a camera. Moreover, a transition area AA3 is disposed between the first area AA1 and the second area AA2 of the polarizer 100, and the transmittance of the transition area AA3 decreases gradually along the direction from the first area AA1 to the second area AA2, so that the transmittance of the polarizer 100 can be ensured to be smoothly transited from the first area AA1 to the second area AA2, thereby avoiding an obvious boundary phenomenon when the polarizer 100 of the embodiment is applied above the display panel 210, and further improving the display uniformity.

In this embodiment, the shapes and numbers of the first area AA1, the transition area AA3, and the second area AA2 are not limited, and fig. 1 only schematically illustrates that the polarizer 100 includes one first area AA1, one transition area AA3, and one second area AA2, and in other embodiments, the polarizer 100 may include a plurality of first areas AA1, a plurality of transition areas AA3, and a plurality of second areas AA 2. In some embodiments, the polarizer 100 may be segmented to provide a polarizer that is more consistent with size and shape requirements.

In some alternative embodiments, the polarization degree of the polarizing film 10 of the first area AA1 is less than the polarization degree of the polarizing film 10 of the second area AA2, and the polarization degree of the polarizing film 10 of the transition area AA3 decreases in a direction in which the first area AA1 points to the second area AA 2. In general, the polarization degree of the polarizer 100 is inversely proportional to the transmittance, and in the present embodiment, the transmittance of the polarizing film 10 in the first area AA1 may be adjusted by adjusting the polarization degrees of the polarizing films 10 in the first area AA1, the transition area AA3 and the second area AA 2.

The polarizing film 10 includes a substrate 11 and polarizing particles 12 adsorbed on the substrate 11, the substrate 11 is a carrier of the polarizing particles 12, and the polarizing film 100 mainly performs a polarizing function through the polarizing particles 12.

In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 2, where fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a polarizing film according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the concentrations of the polarizing particles 12 in the first area AA1, the transition area AA3 and the second area AA2 are different, and the design of the difference in light transmittance of the three areas is realized by adjusting the concentrations of the polarizing particles 12. Wherein the concentration of the polarizing particles 12 of the first area AA1 is smaller than the concentration of the polarizing particles 12 of the second area AA2, the concentration of the polarizing particles 12 of the transition area AA3 increases in a direction from the first area AA1 to the second area AA 2. In this embodiment, the polarizing particles 12 in different regions can be arranged in a single direction, and the light transmittance can be adjusted by the concentration difference.

In other alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 3, in which fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a polarizing film according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the polarizing particles 12 in the first region AA1, the transition region AA3, and the second region AA2 are arranged in different manners. The polarizing particles 12 of the second area AA2 are unidirectionally arranged to provide the polarizing film 10 of the second area AA2 with better polarization characteristics; the polarizing particles 12 of the first area AA1 are irregularly arranged to allow the polarizing film 10 of the first area AA1 to have better light transmittance; part of the polarizing particles 12 of the transition area AA3 are arranged unidirectionally and the other part of the polarizing particles 12 are arranged irregularly, in particular, the unidirectionally arranged polarizing particles 12 of the transition area AA3 are decreasing from the second area AA2 in the direction of the first area AA 1. The unidirectional alignment in this embodiment means that the absorption axis of the polarizing particles 12 coincides with the stretching direction of the substrate 11, and the transmission axis of the polarizing particles 12 is perpendicular to the stretching direction of the substrate 11. If the polarization direction of the light is maintained at 90 ° to the absorption axis direction of the polarizing particles 12, i.e., parallel to the transmission axis direction, the light of the polarization direction can pass through the polarizer.

In other alternative embodiments, the concentrations and the arrangement manners of the polarizing particles 12 of the first area AA1, the transition area AA3 and the second area AA2 may be different, and the light transmittance of the polarizing film 10 of the first area AA1 is greater than that of the polarizing film 10 of the second area AA2 by simultaneously adjusting the concentrations and the arrangement directions of the polarizing particles 12 of the three areas, and the light transmittance of the polarizing film 10 of the transition area AA3 decreases in a direction in which the first area AA1 points to the second area AA 2.

In the above embodiment, the substrate 11 may be a Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) film. It has high transparency, high ductility, good partial particle adsorption effect and good film forming property. The polarizing particles 12 may be iodide ions or organic dyes having dichroism. The stretched PVA molecules are linearly arranged in the stretching direction, and the polarizing particles 12 adsorbed on the PVA film are also deflected directionally to form long chains of the polarizing particles 12. Since iodide ions (or dye molecules) have a good polarization property, it can absorb polarized light parallel to its alignment direction and pass only polarized light in the perpendicular direction, and a polarizing film can be produced by using such a principle. Taking polarizing particles as the iodide ions as an example, the iodide ions are adsorbed on the PVA film, and the iodide ions can be arranged according to a specified rule by stretching the PVA film to form a long chain of the iodide ions. If the polarization direction of the light ray is 90 ° to the long chain direction of the iodide ion, the light ray in the polarization direction can pass through, whereas the intensity of the transmitted light is continuously reduced, even completely shielded.

In some optional embodiments, the polarizer 100 may further include at least one of a triacetyl cellulose (TAC) film, a protective film 30, a Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) 50, and a Release (Release) film 60. In a specific embodiment, please refer to fig. 4, where fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a polarizer according to an embodiment of the present invention. The polarizer 100 includes a Release film 60, a PSA50, a first TAC film 20, a polarizing film 10, a second TAC film 40, and a protective film 30, which are sequentially stacked. It should be understood that fig. 4 is only an illustration of an embodiment of a polarizer, and in other embodiments, the polarizer 100 may add, reduce, or replace one or some of the film layers according to actual needs, which is not limited to the invention.

The display panel 210 of the embodiment may be a liquid crystal display panel, or may be other types of display panels such as an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED), a Micro-LED (Micro-LED), a quantum dot display panel, and the like. In some embodiments, the display panel 100 may be divided to obtain a display panel 100 that is more suitable for size and shape requirements. The display panel 100 has a first display area AA4 and a second display area AA5, wherein the transmittance of the first display area AA4 is greater than that of the second display area AA5, and the first display area AA4 and the second display area AA5 have a boundary S3.

Polarizer 100 has a first area AA1, a second area AA2, and a transition area AA3 between first area AA1 and second area AA 2. The number of the first area AA1 and the second area AA2 of the polarizer 100 corresponds to the number of the first display area AA4 and the second display area AA5 of the display panel 210, and the orthographic projection of the first area AA1 on the display panel 210 is located in the first display area AA4, and the orthographic projection of the second area AA2 on the display panel 210 is located in the second display area AA 5. The orthographic projection of the transition area AA3 on the display panel 210 covers a boundary S3 between the first display area AA4 and the second display area AA 5. That is, the transition area AA3 may be located above the first display area AA4, above the second display area AA5, partially above the first display area AA4, and partially above the second display area AA5, which is not limited by the present invention.

In some optional embodiments, the non-light-emitting surface of the first display area AA4 of the display device 200 may be provided with a photosensitive component 220, and the photosensitive component 220 of this embodiment may be an image collecting device, configured to collect external image information. In this embodiment, the photosensitive element 220 is a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image capture Device, and in some other embodiments, the photosensitive element 220 may also be a Charge-coupled Device (CCD) image capture Device or other types of image capture devices.

In addition, the display device 200 may further integrate other components, such as a handset, a speaker, etc., on the non-light-emitting surface of the display panel 210.

Since the light-emitting surface of the display panel 210 in the second display area AA5 corresponds to the first area AA1 of the polarizer 100, and the first area AA1 has a higher light transmittance, light required for normal operation of the photosensitive elements 220 such as the camera can be ensured to transmit through the first area AA1, so as to improve the performance of the photosensitive elements 220 such as the camera. Moreover, a transition area AA3 of the polarizer 100 corresponds to the first display area AA4 and the second display area AA4 of the display panel 210, and when the display panel 210 displays, the brightness of the first display area AA4 and the brightness of the second display area AA5 can be smoothly transitioned, so that the boundary phenomenon is avoided, and the display uniformity of the display device 200 is improved.

Since the display device 200 of the present embodiment includes the polarizer 100 of any of the above embodiments, it also has the beneficial effects of the polarizer 100 of the above embodiments, and details are not repeated herein.

Fig. 7 shows a method for manufacturing a polarizer, where fig. 7 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a polarizer according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method for manufacturing the polarizer 100 of the present embodiment includes the following steps:

step 701, doping polarizing particles into a base material to obtain a prefabricated film.

Step 702, stretching the prefabricated film.

And 703, drying the prefabricated film after the stretching treatment to obtain the polarizing film.

In this embodiment, different manners of doping the polarizing particles 12 may be performed on the first area AA1, the transition area AA3, and the second area AA2 of the polarizing film, respectively, and/or different manners of stretching treatment may be performed on the polarizing film, respectively, so that the transmittance of the polarizing film 10 of the first area AA1 is greater than that of the polarizing film 10 of the second area AA2, and the transmittance of the polarizing film 10 of the transition area AA3 decreases in a direction in which the first area AA1 points to the second area AA2, where the transition area AA3 is located between the first area AA1 and the second area AA 2.

In the preparation method of the polarizer 100 of the embodiment, the light transmittances of different areas of the polarizer 100 are designed differently, and the light transmittance of the polarizing film 10 in the first area AA1 is greater than the light transmittance of the polarizing film 10 in the second area AA2, so that the photosensitive elements 220 such as a camera can be arranged below the polarizer 100 in the first area AA1, and the working performance of the photosensitive elements 220 such as a camera can be improved. Moreover, a transition area AA3 is disposed between the first area AA1 and the second area AA2 of the polarizer 100, and the transmittance of the transition area AA3 decreases gradually along the direction from the first area AA1 to the second area AA2, so that the transmittance of the polarizer 100 can be ensured to be smoothly transited from the first area AA1 to the second area AA2, thereby avoiding an obvious boundary phenomenon when the polarizer 100 is applied above the display panel 210, and further improving the display uniformity.

masking the substrate 11 in the first area AA1 and the transition area, immersing the substrate 11 in a solution containing the polarizing particles 12 to make the substrate 11 in the second area AA2 adsorb the polarizing particles; then, the substrate 11 in the first area AA1 is masked, and the substrate 11 is immersed in a solution containing the polarizing particles 12, so that the second area AA2 and the transition area AA3 adsorb the polarizing particles 12; thereafter, the substrate 11 is immersed in the solution containing the polarizing particles 12, so that the substrate of the first region AA1, the second region AA2 and the transition region AA3 adsorbs the polarizing particles 12.

In this embodiment, a shielding film may be attached to the region to be shielded to prevent the region from being immersed in the polarizing particles 12. In the embodiment, the polarizing film 10 can be obtained by stretching the first area AA1, the second area AA2 and the transition area AA3 with the same stretching force to obtain the polarizing film 10, so that the light transmittance of the first area AA1 is greater than that of the second area AA2, and the light transmittance of the transition area AA3 decreases progressively along the direction from the first area AA1 to the second area AA 2. The adjustment of the light transmittance of the polarizer 100 is realized by adjusting the concentration of the polarizing particles 12, and the method is simple and easy to implement.

In some alternative embodiments, the substrate 12 in the transition area AA3 may be masked and immersed in the solution containing the polarizing particles 12 multiple times to provide different areas of the polarizing film in the transition area AA3 with different concentrations of polarizing particles 12.

In other alternative embodiments, step 702 specifically includes:

In this embodiment, a corresponding area may be stretched by polarizer stretching equipment, and for an area that does not need stretching, a clamp is used to fix the area that does not need stretching, please refer to fig. 8, where fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of first stretching of a prefabricated film according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the first stretching process, the clamp 81 is clamped in the transition area AA3 and the second area AA2, and then the two ends of the prefabricated film are stretched by the polarizer stretching device, so that the transition area AA3 and the first area AA1 clamped by the clamp 81 can be prevented from being influenced by tensile force, and arrows at the two ends of the prefabricated film are stretching directions in the drawing. Similarly, in the second stretching process, the prefabricated film is clamped in the first area AA1 through the clamp 8, and then stretched through the polarizer stretching device, so that the influence of the tensile force on the first area AA1 clamped by the clamp 81 can be avoided. In this embodiment, the three regions are stretched to different degrees to meet the requirements of different regions for light transmittance and polarization degree difference. In this embodiment, the substrate 11 may be directly immersed in the solution containing the polarizing particles 12 to obtain a prefabricated film, and the step of doping the polarizing particles 12 into the substrate 11 may be simplified.

In some alternative embodiments, the preformed film in the transition area AA3 may be subjected to multiple different area fixing and stretching operations to make the polarizing film in the transition area AA3 have polarizing particles 12 with different arrangements.
