  • Patent number: 11868008
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes a backlight component, a light adjusting component, a display panel, and a first polarizing film. The backlight component is configured to generate polarized light. The light adjusting component is disposed on one side of the backlight component, and is configured to deflect or not deflect polarized light generated by the backlight component. The first polarizing film is disposed between the light adjusting component and the display panel. In the display apparatus) provided in this application, when the polarized light obtained after passing through the light adjusting component passes through the first polarizing film, if a vibration direction of the polarized light is consistent with a transmission direction of the first polarizing film, the polarized light can be transmitted. If the vibration direction of the polarized light is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the first polarizing film, the polarized light cannot be transmitted.

  • Publication number: 20230258976
    Abstract: An optical module (100) includes: a polarization film (101) configured to convert incident light into first polarized light having a first polarization state and second polarized light having a second polarization state; and a phase delay layer (102) configured to convert the first polarized light and the second polarized light into third polarized light having a third polarization state and fourth polarized light having a fourth polarization state, where the first polarization state is different from the second polarization state. The phase delay layer (102) includes a control layer (360). The control layer (360) includes one or more control elements. The optical module (100) may be used in a display apparatus. In this case, display effect of the display apparatus can be improved, and usage of effective polarized light of a backlight unit can be improved, so that power consumption of the display apparatus is reduced.
