## Background
RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201510004843.3, filed Jan. 5, 2015, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present disclosure relates to the field of three dimensional (hereinafter referred to as 3D in short) display technologies, and particularly to a 3D display apparatus and control method for same.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
With the development of the display technology, 3D display products and touch screen products have found increasingly wide use. It is a matter of interest to the industry how to combine a 3D display substrate and a touch screen substrate to obtain a 3D display apparatus with a touch screen function.
Please referring to FIG. 1, at present, the touch screen function of a 3D display apparatus is implemented by directly superimposing a touch screen substrate 20 on a 3D display substrate 10. The 3D display substrate 10 is located on a Liquid Crystal Display Module (LCM) 31, and comprises a lower substrate 11, a upper substrate 12, electrodes 13 located on the lower substrate 11 and the upper substrate 12, respectively, and sealant 14 bonding the lower substrate 11 and the upper substrate 12.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE
The 3D display apparatus and control method for same according to embodiments of the disclosure are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Please referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, according to an embodiment of the disclosure, a 3D display apparatus 30 comprises a liquid crystal optical grating 32 that is located on a liquid crystal display module 31, wherein the liquid crystal optical grating 32 is provided with a respective probe terminal 34 on each of the four corners of an electrode layer 33 of the liquid crystal optical grating 32. The 3D display apparatus 30 further comprises a controller (not shown) that is connected with the four probe terminals 34, wherein the controller may be used for calculation of a touch point position of a touch object (e.g. a finger) on the 3D display apparatus 30 based on the electric current values detected at the four probe terminals 34.
The controller calculates the touch point position based on a principle similar to that of a surface capacitive touch screen. Specifically, with a low voltage (high frequency) alternating signal being applied to each of the four probe terminals 34, when a person touches the surface of the liquid crystal optical grating 32 using one of his/her fingers, a coupling capacitor will be formed between the finger and the surface of the liquid crystal optical grating 32, and since this coupling capacitor acts as a conductor for the high frequency alternating signal, a small electric current will be drawn by the finger from the touch point. With an electric current flows from the respective probe terminal 34 on each of the four corners of the liquid crystal optical grating 32 to the touch point, the magnitude of the electric current flowing through the respective terminal is proportional to the distance from the respective one of the four corners to the touch point. Thus, the touch point position can be derived by the controller from an accurate calculation of the proportion among the magnitudes of the electric currents detected at the four terminals. It is to be noted that the low voltage alternating signal is “low” to the extent that it is adapted for the requirements for electric current detection at the probe terminals 34.
In this way, integration of a touch screen function into the 3D display apparatus 30 (specifically, the liquid crystal grating 32) may be achieved. As compared to the prior art shown in FIG. 1, the 3D display apparatus 30 with the touch screen function according to the embodiment of the disclosure may have a thickness of only that of the 3D display substrate 10 per se, which is a significant reduction in thickness.
As is known, a liquid crystal optical grating typically comprises an upper substrate and a lower substrate, the electrodes formed on each of which may be of a number of shapes, such as planar, stripe-shaped, etc. It is desirable to dispose the probe terminals 34 at the electrode layer on the upper substrate to implement the calculation of the touch point position as mentioned above, due to an improved detection accuracy (because in this case, with the finger being closer to the upper substrate of the liquid crystal optical grating during a touch operation, the touch sensing signal is easier to detect), although other implementations are possible, such as disposing the probe terminals 34 at the electrode layer on the lower substrate to perform the calculation of the touch point position.
Please referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, in an implementation, the liquid crystal optical grating 32 may comprise a lower substrate 35 located on the liquid crystal display module 31 and a upper substrate 36 disposed oppositely to the lower substrate 35, wherein the upper substrate 36 is provided with a plurality of upper substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 37 arranged side by side on its surface facing the lower substrate 35. Referring further to FIG. 6, the four probe terminals 34 may be located at the four corners of the rectangular outline (indicated by the dash line) formed by the plurality of upper substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 37, respectively.
Please referring to FIG. 7, the plurality of upper substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 37 may consist of two parts, one of which being a plurality of a first stripe-shaped electrode 42 that are connected by a first connection part 41, the other of which being a plurality of a second stripe-shaped electrode 44 that are connected by a second connection part 43, the first stripe-shaped electrodes 42 and the second stripe-shaped electrodes 44 being arranged interlaced with each other. Since the first stripe-shaped electrodes 42 and the second stripe-shaped electrodes 44 are interlaced with each other, applying a 3D display driving signal to either of them can implement a slit grating, and hence a 3D display function.
Referring further to FIG. 8, the four probe terminal 34 may be located at the both ends of the first connection part 41 and the both ends of the second connection part 43, respectively. In this case, in a touch operation, electric currents will flow from each of the four probe terminals 34 to the touch point along the stripe-shaped electrodes 37 (which may comprise the plurality of the first stripe-shaped electrodes 42 connected by the first connection part 41 and the plurality of the second stripe-shaped electrodes 44 connected by the second connection part 43), such that the magnitude of the electric current detected at a respective one of the four terminals is no longer proportional to the distance from the respective terminal to the touch point, but to the length of the stripe-shaped electrodes 37 along which it flows. The stripe-shaped electrodes 37 being arranged regularly on the upper substrate, the length of the stripe-shaped electrode 37 along which an electric current flows from any of the four probe terminals 34 to any point on the upper substrate 36 is known. The touch point position can therefore still be derived by the controller from an accurate calculation of the proportion among the magnitudes of the four electric currents.
In another alternative implementation, a planar electrode may be formed on the surface of the upper substrate 36 that is opposite to the lower substrate 35, and stripe-shaped electrodes similar to the stripe-shaped electrodes 37 may be formed on the surface of the lower substrate 35 that is opposite to the upper substrate 36. The four probe terminals 34 are located at the four corners of the rectangle formed by the planar electrode, respectively.
Optionally, during implementation of the touch screen function, with the low voltage alternating signal being applied to the four probe terminals 34 on the upper substrate 36, the electrodes arranged on the lower substrate 35 may be grounded in order to shield themselves from the interference of the noise signal from the liquid crystal display module 31. Due to a time-division driving (discussed below) of the touch screen function and the 3D display function, the 3D display function will not be impacted by the grounding of the electrodes on the lower substrate during the implementation of the touch screen function.
It is also possible to implement a slit grating on the lower substrate 35 of the liquid crystal optical grating 32, and hence the 3D display function. Please referring to FIG. 9, in an implementation, the lower substrate 35 is provided with a plurality of lower substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 45 arranged side by side on its surface facing the upper substrate 36.
Referring further to FIG. 10, the plurality of lower substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 45 may consist of two parts, one of which being a plurality of a third stripe-shaped electrode 47 that are connected by a third connection part 46, the other of which being a plurality of a fourth stripe-shaped electrode 49 that are connected by a fourth connection part 48, the plurality of the third stripe-shaped electrodes 47 and the plurality of the fourth stripe-shaped electrodes 49 are arranged interlaced with each other. Since the plurality of the third stripe-shaped electrodes 47 and the plurality of the fourth stripe-shaped electrodes 49 are interlaced with each other, applying of a 3D display driving signal to either of them may implement a slit grating, and hence a 3D display function.
In another alternative implementation, a planar electrode may be formed on the surface of the lower substrate 35 that is opposite to the upper substrate 36, and stripe-shaped electrodes similar to the stripe-shaped electrodes 45 may be formed on the surface of the upper substrate 36 that is opposite to the lower substrate 35.
Further, in order for the 3D display apparatus to implement a 3D display in two directions (e.g. in a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction), the stripe-shaped electrodes 37 as shown in FIG. 7 may be used on the upper substrate 36, and the stripe-shaped electrodes 45 as shown in FIG. 10 may be used on the lower substrate 35. The upper substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 37 and the lower substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 45 are arranged perpendicular to each other. The liquid crystal optical grating 32 forms a lateral black-and-white barrier, if the plurality of the third stripe-shaped electrodes 47 connected by the third connection part 46 and the plurality of the fourth stripe-shaped electrodes 49 connected by the fourth connection part 48 are all grounded on the lower substrate 35, and if a preset voltage signal is applied for example to the plurality of the first stripe-shaped electrodes 42 connected by the first connection part 41 on the upper substrate 36, with the plurality of the second stripe-shaped electrodes 44 connected by the second connection part 43 all grounded. The liquid crystal optical grating 32 forms a longitudinal black-and-white barrier, if the plurality of the first stripe-shaped electrodes 42 connected by the first connection part 41 and the plurality of the second stripe-shaped electrodes 44 connected by the second connection part 43 are all grounded on the upper substrate 36, and if the preset voltage signal is applied for example to the plurality of the third stripe-shaped electrodes 47 connected by the third connection part 46 on the lower substrate 35, with the plurality of the fourth stripe-shaped electrodes 49 connected by the fourth connection part 48 all grounded. In this way, a 3D display for the 3D display apparatus is implemented in two directions (i.e. in a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction).
It is to be noted that the liquid crystal optical grating 32 is not limited to forming the lateral black-and-white barrier in the above-mentioned manner. For example, the preset voltage signal may be applied to the plurality of the second stripe-shaped electrodes 44 connected by the second connection part 43 on the upper substrate 36, with the plurality of the first stripe-shaped electrodes 42 connected by the first connection part 41 grounded. Likewise, the liquid crystal optical grating 32 is not limited to forming the longitudinal black-and-white barrier in the above-mentioned manner. For example, the preset voltage signal may be applied to the plurality of the fourth stripe-shaped electrodes 49 connected by the fourth connection part 48 on the lower substrate 35 with the plurality of the third stripe-shaped electrodes 47 connected by the third connection part 46 grounded.
Optionally, the planar electrode or the plurality of lower substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 45 on the lower substrate 35 may be grounded, in order to shield itself/themselves from the interference of the noise signal from the liquid crystal display module 31.
Please referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, the plurality of upper substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 37 may be arranged obliquely with respect to a side of the upper substrate, and the plurality of lower substrate stripe-shaped electrodes 45 may also be arranged obliquely with respect to a side of the lower substrate. In this way, a multi-view display function can be implemented for the 3D display apparatus 30. It is to be noted that implementing the multi-view display function by an oblique arrangement of the stripe-shaped electrodes is a well-known technology to the skilled in the art, and will not be discussed here in detail.
Please referring to FIG. 13, according to another embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a control method for the 3D display apparatus, which may enable the 3D display apparatus to implement a touch screen function and a 3D display function by driving the electrodes on the upper and lower substrates in a time-division manner in a preset timeframe. The method may comprise the steps of:
S1301, within a first time period of a preset timeframe, grounding the lower substrate electrode of the liquid crystal optical grating and applying a low voltage alternating signal to the upper substrate electrode of the liquid crystal optical grating, so as to implement a touch screen function of the 3D display apparatus; and
S1302, within a second time period of the preset timeframe, grounding the lower substrate electrode of the liquid crystal optical grating and applying a preset voltage signal to the upper substrate electrode of the liquid crystal optical grating, or grounding the upper substrate electrode of the liquid crystal optical grating and applying a preset voltage signal to the lower substrate electrode of the liquid crystal optical grating, so as to implement a 3D display function of the 3D display apparatus.
By way of example and not limitation, the preset timeframe may be set by the manufacture in advance, or it may be set by the user in real time. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the preset timeframe may be the duration of one image frame. Additionally, by way of example and not limitation, the first time period and the second time period of the preset timeframe may be equal, or they may be unequal. For example, if the preset timeframe is 0.01 second, the first time period and the second time period may be both 0.005 second, or they may be 0.007 second and 0.003 second, respectively.
In the case that a two-direction (i.e. the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction) 3D display configuration is employed, i.e. where the stripe-shaped electrodes 37 as shown in FIG. 7 is used on the upper substrate 36 of the liquid crystal optical grating 32 and the stripe-shaped electrodes 45 as shown in FIG. 10 is used on the lower substrate 35 of the liquid crystal optical grating 32, at step 1302, applying the preset voltage signal to the upper substrate may comprise applying the preset voltage signal to the plurality of stripe-shaped electrodes on the upper substrate 36 that are connected by one of the first connection part 41 and the second connection part 43, with the plurality of stripe-shaped electrodes that are connected by the other grounded, so as to implement a 3D display function in a first direction; likewise, applying the preset voltage signal to the lower substrate may comprise applying the preset voltage signal to the plurality of stripe-shaped electrodes on the lower substrate 35 that are connected by one of the third connection part 46 and the fourth connection part 48, with the plurality of stripe-shaped electrodes that are connected by the other grounded, so as to implement a 3D display function in a second direction.
Please referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, the electrodes on the upper and lower substrates of the liquid crystal optical grating may be driven in a time-division manner, where the touch screen function is implemented in the first half of the timeframe and the 3D display function in the latter half. Both the touch screen function and the 3D display function in the lateral direction can be implemented with the configuration of the driving voltages for the upper substrate 36 and the lower substrate 35 as shown in FIG. 14. Both the touch screen function and the 3D display function in the longitudinal direction can be implemented with the configuration of the driving voltages for the upper substrate 36 and the lower substrate 35 as shown in FIG. 15.
