壳体及其制备方法、电子设备Shell and its preparation method, electronic equipment

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及电子设备,具体地,涉及壳体及其制备方法、电子设备。The present invention relates to electronic equipment, in particular, to a housing, a preparation method thereof, and an electronic equipment.

背景技术Background technique

纵观当下的电子设备的设计,例如在手机、平板电脑等移动终端领域,同质化现象严重,产品在外形和功能上常彼此雷同,设计时往往忽略了使用者的个性化需求。并且,用户在选购电子设备时,也不再单一的考虑电子设备的配置参数是否合格,更加会注重电子设备壳体的外观是不是符合自己的要求。而优良的外观设计不仅能使产品得到更多用户的青睐,而且可以更好地符合体验时代消费者的心理模式,满足消费者的个性化追求。Looking at the current design of electronic equipment, for example, in the field of mobile terminals such as mobile phones and tablet computers, the phenomenon of homogeneity is serious. Products are often similar to each other in appearance and function, and the individual needs of users are often ignored in the design. Moreover, when purchasing electronic equipment, users no longer simply consider whether the configuration parameters of the electronic equipment are qualified, but pay more attention to whether the appearance of the electronic equipment housing meets their own requirements. And excellent appearance design can not only make the product more favored by users, but also better conform to the psychological model of consumers in the experience era and satisfy consumers' personalized pursuit.

然而,目前的壳体及其制备方法、电子设备,仍有待改进。However, the current casing, its preparation method, and electronic equipment still need to be improved.

Specifically, in the casing, pigments are added to the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer, and when no voltage is applied to the electrodes, the liquid crystal molecules and pigments assume a certain state (for example, they are both in a natural horizontal state), and the casing seen from the outside The color is the dark pigment color, and then when the voltage is applied to the electrode, the liquid crystal molecules will rotate according to the scheme of the applied voltage, and the deflected liquid crystal molecules will drive the pigment to rotate regularly. At this time, the liquid crystal molecules and the pigment will appear In another state (for example, both are in a vertical state), the pigment surface seen will become smaller, and the color will become lighter, that is, the change in visual effect can be realized under the control of different voltages, and multiple colors can be obtained without changing the shell. appearance effect. Moreover, the liquid crystal layer may have a plurality of liquid crystal layer partitions arranged at intervals, and the pigments in the multiple liquid crystal layer partitions are not completely the same.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 3 , the liquid crystal layer 300 includes a plurality of liquid crystal layer partitions 310 (410A˜410E as shown in FIG. 3 ). According to the embodiment of the present invention, the specific number of liquid crystal layer partitions 310 is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs. For example, the liquid crystal layer 300 may include liquid crystal layer partitions 310A, 310B, 310C, 310D, and 310E. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the pigments 10 in the plurality of liquid crystal layer partitions 310 are not completely the same. Specifically, in each liquid crystal layer partition 310, the chemical composition of the pigments added to the liquid crystal molecules may be different, for example, the liquid crystal layer partitions The chemical composition of the pigment 10A contained in 310A is different from that of the pigment 10B contained in the liquid crystal layer partition 310B; or, in each liquid crystal layer partition 310, the ratio of the pigment 10 added to the liquid crystal molecules 20 is different, for example, the liquid crystal layer partition 310A The ratio of the pigment 10A added in the liquid crystal layer subsection 310B is different from that of the pigment 10B added in the liquid crystal layer partition 310B. In this way, the colors of the regions corresponding to different liquid crystal layer partitions in the casing can be made to be different, that is, the colors of different regions of the casing can be made to be not completely the same, so that the appearance effect of contrasting colors can be achieved, and the choice of the appearance color of the casing can be more diversified. , to meet the individual needs of users.

根据本发明的实施例,参考图4,液晶层300进一步包括界定结构320,该界定结构320用于将液晶层300中的多个液晶层分区310间隔开。由此,可以使壳体简便的形成多个分区,并且各个分区中的色素不完全相同时,可以使不同分区的颜色不完全相同,进而可以简便地实现撞色的外观效果。根据本发明的实施例,多个液晶层分区310可以是同层设置的。由此,可以使不同分区的颜色不完全相同,进而可以简便地实现撞色的外观效果。根据本发明的实施例,该界定结构320的形成材料不受特别限制,只需满足形成多个间隔的液晶层分区310即可。例如,当第一电极400设置在第一衬底100与液晶层300之间,第二电极500设置在第二衬底200与液晶层300之间时,可以是在第一电极400或第二电极500上的预定位置涂覆胶水并干燥而形成上述界定结构320。According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 4 , the liquid crystal layer 300 further includes a defining structure 320 for separating a plurality of liquid crystal layer partitions 310 in the liquid crystal layer 300 . Thus, the shell can be easily formed into multiple partitions, and when the pigments in the partitions are not completely the same, the colors of the different partitions can be made not to be completely the same, and furthermore, the appearance effect of contrasting colors can be easily realized. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of liquid crystal layer partitions 310 may be arranged in the same layer. In this way, the colors of different partitions may not be exactly the same, and the appearance effect of contrasting colors may be easily realized. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the forming material of the defining structure 320 is not particularly limited, as long as it meets the requirement of forming a plurality of spaced liquid crystal layer partitions 310 . For example, when the first electrode 400 is disposed between the first substrate 100 and the liquid crystal layer 300, and the second electrode 500 is disposed between the second substrate 200 and the liquid crystal layer 300, it may be between the first electrode 400 or the second Glue is coated on a predetermined position on the electrode 500 and dried to form the above-mentioned limiting structure 320 .

下面以液晶层分区310(含有液晶分子20和色素10)设置在第一电极400以及第二电极500之间为例,对液晶层分区实现变色的原理进行详细说明:Taking the liquid crystal layer partition 310 (containing the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 ) disposed between the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500 as an example, the principle of liquid crystal layer partitioning to realize color change will be described in detail below:

在本发明的一些实施例中,第一电极400和第二电极500之间形成电场和未形成电场时,液晶层分区310中的液晶分子偏转状态不同,从而可以导致壳体在上述两种状态下光的透过率发生改变。而色素分子依靠吸收光线中特定波长的光,反应出被吸收的光的互补色的原色,因此壳体整体透过率有改变,可以实现壳体整体的视觉效果(颜色)的变化。In some embodiments of the present invention, when an electric field is formed between the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500 and when no electric field is formed, the deflection states of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer partition 310 are different, which can cause the casing to be in the above two states The transmittance of light changes. The pigment molecules rely on the absorption of light of a specific wavelength in the light, and reflect the primary color of the complementary color of the absorbed light. Therefore, the overall transmittance of the shell changes, and the overall visual effect (color) of the shell can be changed.

根据本发明的一些具体实施例,以液晶分子20具有正的介电常数各向异性为例进行说明:液晶层分区310处于关态时,液晶层分区310的透光率可以为10~20%,当对第一电极400和第二电极500施加电压时,即液晶层分区310处于开态时,液晶分子20按照所施加的电压发生旋转,这时,偏转的液晶分子20会有规则的旋转,进而液晶层分区310处于开态时,液晶层分区310的透光率较高,如可以为20~40%。也就是说,液晶层分区310的透光率由10~20%增大为20~40%。由此,可以通过施加电压可令壳体整体具有更加明亮的视觉效果。或者,根据本发明的另一些实施例,液晶分子20也可以具有负的介电常数各向异性。此时,液晶层分区310处于关态时(不施加电压),壳体具有较高的透光率,如可以为20~40%。液晶层分区310处于开态时,壳体可以具有较低的透光率,如可以为10~20%。由此,也可以通过施加电压,调控壳体的外观状态。According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the liquid crystal molecules 20 have positive dielectric constant anisotropy as an example: when the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is in the off state, the light transmittance of the liquid crystal layer partition 310 can be 10-20%. , when a voltage is applied to the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500, that is, when the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is in the open state, the liquid crystal molecules 20 rotate according to the applied voltage, and at this time, the deflected liquid crystal molecules 20 will rotate regularly Furthermore, when the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is in the on state, the light transmittance of the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is relatively high, for example, it may be 20-40%. That is to say, the light transmittance of the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is increased from 10-20% to 20-40%. Therefore, by applying a voltage, the whole housing can have a brighter visual effect. Alternatively, according to other embodiments of the present invention, the liquid crystal molecules 20 may also have negative dielectric constant anisotropy. At this time, when the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is in the off state (no voltage is applied), the casing has a relatively high light transmittance, such as 20-40%. When the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is in an open state, the casing may have a relatively low light transmittance, such as 10-20%. Thus, the appearance state of the casing can also be regulated by applying a voltage.

根据本发明的另一些实施例,掺杂的色素10可以和液晶分子20具有类似的结构,如液晶分子20和色素10的形状均为棒状。参考图5,液晶层分区310处于关态时(不施加电压),液晶分子20和色素10都呈现水平横放状态,即液晶分子20和色素10的长轴方向均平行于水平面,外界看到的壳体的颜色就是色素10所呈现的颜色,此时,液晶层分区310的透光率为10~20%。参考图6,当液晶层分区310处于开态时(施加电压),液晶分子20会按照所施加的电压将会发生旋转,偏转的液晶分子20会带动色素10有规则的旋转,即色素10本身在电场作用下不会独立地发生偏转,需要在液晶分子20的带动下进行偏转,液晶分子20和色素10都呈现垂直状态,即液晶分子20和色素10的长轴方向均垂直于水平面,此时,外界所看到的色素10的面将会变小,透光率也会相应的变大,液晶层分区310的透光率为20~40%,从而外界所看到的壳体的颜色变浅,即在不同电压的控制下实现颜色深浅的改变,达到视觉效果上的变化。由此,可以通过电压的控制,对液晶层分区310的透光率进行调节,最终简便的实现壳体视觉效果的变化多样,实现多种外观的选择,无需更换壳体就能得到多种外观效果,满足用户个性化的需求,大大提高了产品的市场竞争力。According to other embodiments of the present invention, the doped pigment 10 may have a similar structure to the liquid crystal molecules 20, for example, the shapes of the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 are rod-like. Referring to FIG. 5 , when the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is in the off state (no voltage is applied), the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 are placed horizontally, that is, the long axes of the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 are parallel to the horizontal plane, and the outside world sees The color of the casing is the color presented by the pigment 10, and at this time, the light transmittance of the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is 10-20%. Referring to FIG. 6, when the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is in the open state (applied voltage), the liquid crystal molecules 20 will rotate according to the applied voltage, and the deflected liquid crystal molecules 20 will drive the pigment 10 to rotate regularly, that is, the pigment 10 itself The deflection will not occur independently under the action of the electric field, and the deflection needs to be driven by the liquid crystal molecules 20. The liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 are both in a vertical state, that is, the long axes of the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 are both perpendicular to the horizontal plane. , the surface of the pigment 10 seen by the outside world will become smaller, and the light transmittance will also increase accordingly. The light transmittance of the liquid crystal layer partition 310 is 20-40%, so that the color of the casing seen by the outside world Lightening, that is, under the control of different voltages, the color depth can be changed to achieve changes in visual effects. Thus, the light transmittance of the liquid crystal layer partition 310 can be adjusted by controlling the voltage, and finally, various visual effects of the casing can be easily realized, and various appearance options can be realized, and various appearances can be obtained without replacing the casing. The effect is to meet the individual needs of users and greatly improve the market competitiveness of products.

根据本发明的另一些实施例,液晶分子20和色素10也可以在关态下都呈现垂直状态,在开态下呈现水平状态。即关态下液晶分子20和色素10的长轴方向均垂直于水平面(衬底所在平面),外界所看到的色素10的面较小,从而外界所看到的壳体的颜色较浅亮度较大。开态下外界可见的色素10的面积较大,从而外界所看到的壳体的颜色较深亮度较小。According to some other embodiments of the present invention, both the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 may be in a vertical state in the off state, and in a horizontal state in the on state. That is to say, in the OFF state, the long axis directions of the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 are both perpendicular to the horizontal plane (the plane where the substrate is located), and the surface of the pigment 10 seen by the outside world is relatively small, so that the color of the shell seen by the outside world is lighter. larger. In the open state, the pigment 10 visible to the outside has a relatively large area, so that the casing seen by the outside has a darker color and less brightness.

需要说明的是,液晶分子20和色素10都呈现上述水平横放状态时,不仅包括液晶分子20和色素10完全地平行于水平面的情况,也包括液晶分子20和色素10相对于水平面稍微倾斜的情况。液晶分子20和色素10都呈现上述垂直状态时,不仅包括液晶分子20和色素10完全地平行于水平面的法线的情况,也包括液晶分子20和色素10相对于水平面的法线稍微倾斜的情况。由于液晶层具有多个液晶层分区,不仅可以在不同电压的控制下每个液晶层分区均实现颜色深浅上的变化,而在相同的电压控制下,由于各个液晶层分区中的色素不完全相同,也能实现不同液晶层分区的颜色不同,使壳体达到撞色的外观效果,进一步实现壳体视觉效果的变化多样,实现多种外观的选择。It should be noted that when both the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigments 10 are placed horizontally, it includes not only the situation where the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigments 10 are completely parallel to the horizontal plane, but also the situation where the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigments 10 are slightly inclined relative to the horizontal plane. Happening. When the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 both exhibit the above-mentioned vertical state, it includes not only the situation that the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 are completely parallel to the normal line of the horizontal plane, but also the situation that the liquid crystal molecules 20 and the pigment 10 are slightly inclined relative to the normal line of the horizontal plane. . Since the liquid crystal layer has multiple liquid crystal layer partitions, not only can each liquid crystal layer partition realize the change in color depth under the control of different voltages, but under the same voltage control, since the pigments in each liquid crystal layer partition are not completely the same , can also achieve different colors of different liquid crystal layer partitions, so that the shell can achieve a color-contrasting appearance effect, further realize various changes in the visual effect of the shell, and realize a variety of appearance options.

根据本发明的实施例,该壳体包括控制单元600,控制单元600与第一电极400以及第二电极500相连,并用于向第一电极400和第二电极500施加电压。根据本发明的具体实施例,参考图7,第一电极400设置在第一衬底100与液晶层300之间,第二电极500设置在第二衬底200与液晶层300之间,控制单元600与第一电极400以及第二电极500相连。由此,控制单元600对第一电极400以及第二电极500施加电压,可以使第一电极400以及第二电极500形成电场,从而驱动液晶分子20进行偏转,偏转的液晶分子也会带动色素10进行旋转。根据本发明的实施例,该壳体进一步包括连接线700,第一电极400和第二电极500分别独立地通过连接线700与控制单元600相连。关于连接线700的具体材料以及其与第一电极400、第二电极500的连接方式均不受特别限制,例如,与第一电极400相连的连接线700具有与第一电极500相同的材料,可以与第一电极400采用同一次构图工艺形成;与第二电极500相连的连接线700具有与第二电极500相同的材料,与第二电极500采用同一次构图工艺形成。由此,可以将连接线做成与第一电极或者第二电极一体的结构,简化生产工艺。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the housing includes a control unit 600 connected to the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500 and configured to apply voltage to the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500 . According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 7, the first electrode 400 is disposed between the first substrate 100 and the liquid crystal layer 300, the second electrode 500 is disposed between the second substrate 200 and the liquid crystal layer 300, and the control unit 600 is connected to the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500 . Thus, the control unit 600 applies a voltage to the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500, so that the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500 can form an electric field, thereby driving the liquid crystal molecules 20 to deflect, and the deflected liquid crystal molecules will also drive the pigment 10. to rotate. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the casing further includes a connection wire 700 , and the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500 are independently connected to the control unit 600 through the connection wire 700 . The specific material of the connecting wire 700 and its connection with the first electrode 400 and the second electrode 500 are not particularly limited, for example, the connecting wire 700 connected to the first electrode 400 has the same material as the first electrode 500, It can be formed by the same patterning process as the first electrode 400 ; the connection line 700 connected to the second electrode 500 has the same material as the second electrode 500 and is formed by the same patterning process as the second electrode 500 . Thus, the connection wire can be made into a structure integrated with the first electrode or the second electrode, which simplifies the production process.

根据本发明的实施例,该壳体进一步包括取向膜,当第一电极400设置在第一衬底100与液晶层300之间,第二电极500设置在第二衬底200与液晶层300之间时,取向膜可以设置在第一电极400与液晶层300之间,以及第二电极500与液晶层300之间。取向膜的设置可以为液晶分子的旋转提供预倾角。由此,液晶分子按照一定的预倾角排列,从而控制光通过的方向,并通过控制单元600施加适当的驱动电压,使壳体达到变色的目的。其中,液晶层中的液晶分子预倾角θ的范围不受特别限制,本领域技术人员可以根据实际需求进行选择,例如,预倾角θ≤2度。According to an embodiment of the present invention, the housing further includes an alignment film. When the first electrode 400 is disposed between the first substrate 100 and the liquid crystal layer 300, the second electrode 500 is disposed between the second substrate 200 and the liquid crystal layer 300. In time, an alignment film may be disposed between the first electrode 400 and the liquid crystal layer 300 and between the second electrode 500 and the liquid crystal layer 300 . The setting of the alignment film can provide a pre-tilt angle for the rotation of the liquid crystal molecules. Thus, the liquid crystal molecules are arranged according to a certain pre-tilt angle, so as to control the direction of light passing through, and an appropriate driving voltage is applied through the control unit 600 to change the color of the casing. Wherein, the range of the pretilt angle θ of the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art can select according to actual needs, for example, the pretilt angle θ≤2 degrees.

根据本发明的实施例,为了进一步提升该壳体的性能,该壳体可以进一步包括背光源、反射膜等。由于液晶分子以及色素自身不能够发光,因此可以利用背光源对壳体进行点亮,增加壳体的整体亮度。本领域技术人员能够理解的是,背光源提供的光需要首先照射至液晶层分区,经过液晶分子和色素分子之后,入射至用户的眼中。因此,背光源可以设置在该壳体在实际应用中远离用户的一侧。According to an embodiment of the present invention, in order to further improve the performance of the casing, the casing may further include a backlight, a reflective film, and the like. Since the liquid crystal molecules and pigments themselves cannot emit light, the backlight source can be used to light up the housing to increase the overall brightness of the housing. Those skilled in the art can understand that the light provided by the backlight needs to be irradiated to the sub-areas of the liquid crystal layer first, and then enter the eyes of the user after passing through the liquid crystal molecules and pigment molecules. Therefore, the backlight source can be arranged on the side of the casing away from the user in practical applications.

反射膜可以反射光线,由此,也可以通过在壳体的内侧(实际应用时远离用户的一侧)设置反射膜,将光线通过反射由壳体的外侧射出,可以提升该壳体的亮度,使色素展现出更佳的颜色,进一步提升壳体的视觉效果。The reflective film can reflect light. Therefore, the reflective film can also be provided on the inner side of the housing (the side away from the user in actual application), and the light can be emitted from the outer side of the housing through reflection, which can improve the brightness of the housing. Make the pigment show a better color, and further enhance the visual effect of the shell.
