In a conventional liquid crystal display type head-up display system, a white Light Emitting Diode (LED) prepared from yellow phosphor is generally used as a backlight source, which is difficult to effectively generate high saturation colors, and the picture saturation is usually less than 60%. According to the related research record of capturing the attention of the user by using colors, the more saturated the colors, the faster the response speed of the observer to the colors, so if the saturation of the screen of the head-up display system is too low, the response time of the driver after seeing the screen will be increased, and the driver is difficult to quickly and accurately identify the required display information, which affects the driving safety.
In order to solve the problem, the application provides a display panel, optimize the light that the backlight sent through the quantum dot for the picture color saturation that display panel shows is higher, and when using this display panel among the new line display system, the driver can be fast, accurately discern required display information, thereby promotes the security of driving.
Quantum Dots (QDs) are nano-scale semiconductors that emit light of a specific frequency by applying a certain electric field or light pressure to the nano-semiconductor material, and the frequency of the emitted light changes with the size of the semiconductor, so that the color of the emitted light can be controlled by adjusting the size of the nano-semiconductor. When the quantum dot material is applied to a display panel, RGB narrow-band spectra with fixed wavelength can be generated, and the RGB narrow-band spectra can be mixed into high-purity white light, so that a picture with high color saturation can be obtained.
