When the display panel included in the above-mentioned display screen 194 adopts an LCD, since the liquid crystal is a passive light-emitting device, a light source needs to be arranged on its back. The LCD displays different brightness by controlling the light transmittance. This light source is called a backlight light source. (Backlight). There are three main types of backlight sources: cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), electroluminescent (EL), and light emitting diode (LED). Compared with CCFL and EL, LED backlight has the characteristics of good light uniformity, wide color gamut coverage, high contrast, high brightness, not afraid of low temperature, strong adaptability, good reliability and no mercury pollution, so LED backlight is currently LCD The mainstream light source of the backlight module. According to the different distribution positions of the LED backlight light source, LCDs can be divided into two types: side-lit backlit LCD and direct-lit backlit LCD.

In the embodiments of the present application, the LCD of the electronic device may be an edge-type backlight LCD or a direct-type backlight LCD. LCD generally includes a backlight module and a display module. Among them, the display module is arranged above the backlight module, the light source is arranged on the side of the backlight module in the edge-type backlight LCD, and the light source is arranged on the backlight module in the direct-type backlight LCD Below. In the following, an edge-lit backlight LCD is taken as an example for description.

As shown in Figure 2, it is a schematic diagram of the side-lit backlit LCD 1941 structure. The edge-lit backlight LCD 1941 includes a display module 19411, a backlight module 19412, and a backlight light source 19413. The display module 19411 is above the backlight module 19412, and the backlight light source 19413 is on the side of the backlight module 19412.

Wherein, from top to bottom, the backlight module 19412 includes an upper diffusion film 194121, a brightness enhancement film 194122, a lower diffusion film 194123, a light guide plate 194124, and a light reflecting layer 194125 in sequence.

The reflective layer 194125 can also be called a reflective sheet, which is a layer of specular reflective film, whose main function is to reflect the light exposed at the bottom back into the light guide plate 194124 to improve the utilization rate of light.

The light guide plate 194124 is generally composed of a substrate and a diffusion film, where the substrate can be made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) pressed into a smooth plate; the diffusion film is generally screen printed or injection molded on the surface of the substrate The method is densely covered with a layer of tiny bumps 1941241. The diffusion film is generally a highly reflective and non-light-absorbing material, such as silicon dioxide (SiO ₂ ) or titanium dioxide (TiO ₂ ).

The upper diffuser film 194123 and the lower diffuser film 194121 can also be called diffusers. The main function of the upper diffuser film 194123 and the lower diffuser film 194121 is to allow light to pass through the diffuser coating to produce diffuse reflection, so that the light distribution is more uniform, so that it can be seen from the front. Less than the shadow of the reflection point. The upper diffusion film 194123 and the lower diffusion film 194121 can also be composed of a substrate and a diffuse reflection coating. The substrate generally can be made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or PMMA with extremely high light transmittance. become.

Brightness-enhancing film 194122 is covered with special prism structures on the surface.

Light 194118. The upper substrate 194112 and the lower substrate 194117 may function as support and protection.

The above-mentioned LCD 1941 can achieve partition dimming, that is, the backlight module 19412 is divided into several areas, and the backlight brightness of each area can be independently controlled, so that each pixel corresponds to an LED light source to provide the LCD 1941 with backlight brightness.

The above-mentioned LCD 1941 realizes image display by controlling the state of polarized light through electrical signals. The display module 19411 in the LCD can be regarded as a sandwich structure. That is, a liquid crystal layer 194115 is sandwiched between two polarizers (upper polarizer 194111 and lower polarizer 194118) whose polarization directions are perpendicular to each other. The rotation of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 194115 can be controlled under the action of an external electric field. In practical applications, through the switching function of thin film transistors (TFTs), data signal voltages of different magnitudes are input to each pixel; The degree of rotation is also different, resulting in different components on the transmission axis of the upper polarizer 194111, that is, the brightness of the emitted light is different. In this way, LCD can realize multi-gray-scale picture display. If a color filter 194114 is added to each pixel, a color image can be displayed.

With the development of society, people pay more and more attention to personal privacy information. For example, when a user is using an electronic device using the above-mentioned LCD 1941, the content displayed on the display of the electronic device will involve private content, and the user hopes that the private content can not be peeped by others. Therefore, the user needs an electronic device With controllable viewing angle function. Wherein, the viewing angle can be understood as the angle at which the user can clearly observe the content displayed on the display of the electronic device from different directions. The viewing angle may include a wide viewing angle and a narrow viewing angle, where the wide viewing angle may be 150 degrees (horizontal)/120 degrees (vertical), and the narrow viewing angle may be 120 degrees (horizontal)/100 degrees (vertical).

Among them, the user 410 is the owner of the laptop 430, and the bystander 420 is a person watching the laptop 430. At this time, when the user 410 uses the notebook computer 430, two windows are opened on the interface 433 of the notebook computer 430, namely, the window 431 and the window 432. Among them, the window 431 is a bank application (application, APP) window, and the window 432 is an entertainment APP window. As shown in (b) of FIG. 3, it is a schematic view of the viewing angle of the notebook computer 430. In Figure 3(b), θ _c is the viewing angle of the notebook computer, the A1 area is the area corresponding to the viewing angle of the notebook computer, and the A2 area and A3 area are the areas corresponding to the non-viewing angle of the notebook computer. As shown in (c) in FIG. 3, it is a schematic diagram of the wide viewing angle and the narrow viewing angle of the notebook computer 430. In FIG. 3 (c),, θ _cmax laptop 430 wide viewing angle, θ _cmin narrow viewing angle 430 of the laptop. As shown in FIG. 3, in the window 431 displayed on the interface 433 of the notebook computer 430, the displayed content involves private content, and the user 410 does not want bystanders 420 to see the above private content.

Currently, the user can control the viewing angle of the electronic device 100 by pasting a film with a louver structure on the corresponding display. For example, as shown in Figure 4, it is a film with a shutter structure. The height of the blades in the film is h and the width between the blades is d. However, when the film of the above-mentioned louver structure is manufactured, the distance d between the blades in the film of the louver structure and the height h of the blades are determined, and the visible angle of the film of the louver structure is θ, and the visible The angle θ will not change any more, therefore, the above-mentioned louver structure film can only achieve one viewing angle adjustment. For example, in order to prevent bystanders 420 from peeping into privacy-related content on the laptop 430, the user 410 pastes a corresponding louver structure film on the display of the laptop 430 to control the viewing angle of the laptop 430, so that the bystander 420 is in At the position shown in FIG. 3, any content displayed on the interface of the notebook computer 430 will not be visible.
