The vertical direction is a direction perpendicular to the plane of the secondlight guide plate 13, and the horizontal direction is a direction parallel to the plane of the secondlight guide plate 13.

If the sharing mode needs to be realized, the central visual angle needs to be deflected to the driver, so that the central visual angle is located between the driver and the copilot, because the distance between the driver and the display panel is farther, in order to enable the screen brightness obtained by the driver and the display panel to meet the brightness requirement, the central visual angle can be selected to be more inclined to the driver, the central visual angle can be selected to be deflected to the driver by about 32 degrees, so that the visual obstacle caused by the brightness when the driver sees the display panel is reduced, and the driving risk is reduced, wherein the deflection range of the central visual angle is greater than or equal to 32 degrees and less than or equal to 43 degrees, and the good picture effect can be obtained by the driver and the copilot in the range.

Such as the Z region and the W region in fig. 10. For example, if the Z-region points to the co-driver and the W-region points to the driver, then a sufficiently high brightness level for both observers is also achieved.

In the embodiment of the invention, when only the second light source is turned on and the secondlight guide plate 13 is operated, the light ray diagram is shown in fig. 5, which is a peep-proof mode. When the first light source is turned on and the firstlight guide plate 11 is operated, the light ray diagram is in the sharing mode with reference to fig. 11.

In the conventional sharing mode, the brightness is very low at the secondary viewing angle position (driver position), which is not favorable for observing the display picture, and especially for outdoor vehicle-mounted display products, the requirement on the brightness is very high.

In the embodiment of the invention, the light emitted from the first light guide plate is deflected to a large angle through the second light guide plate and the second light guide dots, namely, the brightness of the auxiliary visual angle position is improved, and a driver is ensured to have good observation conditions.

And in the sharing mode, the light emitted by the light guide plate is deflected through the prism lens, so that the brightness of the large visual angle is improved.

Referring to fig. 11, when the first dot structure and the second dot structure are the same, the base angle of the first dot structure is opposite to the base angle of the second dot structure.

Wherein ± 10 ° is an angle generated by the driver or the passenger car in a spatial range of the left-right sway, and each of the left and right sides is about 10 °.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the shape of thesecond dot structure 131 is designed mainly in relation to the range of the outgoing light, so that the range of the outgoing light is 70 ° -85 °, the modulation effect of the second dot structure on the outgoing light of the firstlight guide plate 11 is small, and the deflection angle of the first light guide plate is mainly adjusted by the prism sheet. The side edge corresponding to the first bottom angle A of the light-transmitting structure mainly adjusts light rays emitted by the first light guide plate and controls the light rays to be emitted towards the vertical direction; the side edge corresponding to the second base angle B mainly adjusts the light rays emitted by the second light guide plate, and deflects the emitted light rays to the range of 25 degrees +/-10 degrees.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: areflective sheet 16; thereflective sheet 16 is disposed on a side of the firstlight guide plate 11 facing away from the secondlight guide plate 13.

In the embodiment of the invention, the reflector plate is used for reflecting the light rays incident to the reflector plate, so that the loss of the light rays is avoided.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: a polymer dispersedliquid crystal layer 17; the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer is arranged on one side of the prism sheet, which is far away from the second light guide plate.

Wherein, in order to prevent that under the sharing mode, the visual angle is not enough, and the light beam angle undersize can not guarantee that two observers can both see clear picture effect, set up polymer dispersedliquid crystal layer 17 and can increase the light beam angle. In the privacy mode, an alternating current driving voltage of 12V-36V is applied to a polymer dispersed liquid Crystal layer (PDLC), wherein the specific voltage value is determined according to the use area and optical parameters of the polymer dispersed liquid Crystal layer, such as light transmittance, haze, selection of liquid Crystal and polymer, and the like, and the polymer dispersed liquid Crystal layer is in a transparent state and does not affect the vision of the backlight module. And in the sharing mode, the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer is closed, and the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer has a diffusion effect on the light beams, so that the visual angle of the backlight module is increased. The switchable backlight module for increasing PDLC has the advantage of beam expanding effect in a sharing mode, and ensures that two observers can see clear picture content.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes: aphotoresist layer 18; the light resistance layer is arranged between the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer and the prism sheet. The light resistance layer can absorb light rays with large visual angle, the peep-proof effect is better, and the wide visual angle state in the sharing mode cannot be influenced due to the combined use of the light resistance layer and the polymer dispersed liquid crystal layer.

Wherein, the material of the light resistance layer is acrylic glue mixed with black particles or carbon black particles, or other black optical grade plastics or black particles.
