技术领域technical field
本发明关于一种微开关电子书写板,特别关于一种可检测书写或擦拭位置的微开关电子书写板。The invention relates to a micro-switch electronic writing board, in particular to a micro-switch electronic writing board capable of detecting writing or wiping positions.
背景技术Background technique
胆固醇液晶(Cholesteric liquid crystal)是在向列型液晶中加入旋光剂(chiral dopant)使其具有螺旋状的排列结构,并利用在不同电压差的情况下,呈现反射与穿透两种不同液晶分子排列状态来达到不同的光线穿透率,达到显示效果。其中,在平面态时,入射光会被反射而显色;而在焦锥态时,入射光大部分穿透、少部分被散射;而在垂直态时,入射光则会完全穿透。Cholesteric liquid crystal (Cholesteric liquid crystal) is to add a chiral dopant to the nematic liquid crystal to make it have a helical arrangement structure, and use two different liquid crystal molecules of reflection and penetration under different voltage differences. Arrangement states to achieve different light transmittance, to achieve the display effect. Among them, in the planar state, the incident light will be reflected and colored; in the focal conic state, most of the incident light will be transmitted, and a small part will be scattered; and in the vertical state, the incident light will be completely penetrated.
由于胆固醇液晶处于平面态及焦锥态时均属于稳定态,因此当电压关掉消失时,仍会维持在原来的状态与显示画面,只有在改变成另一种状态与显示画面时,才需施加电压,这种具低耗电及可记忆性的特性,也使胆固醇液晶成为电子书的首选。同时,这种显示机制受到上下板间距的影响较小,具有发展成为双稳态可挠曲式显示器的潜力及应用。相较于其他型式,例如TN型液晶显示器来说,胆固醇液晶显示器具有省电、彩色显示、可调光及可应用于双稳态可挠式显示器等优点,应用上相当广。Since the cholesteric liquid crystal is in a stable state when it is in the planar state and the focal conic state, when the voltage is turned off and disappears, it will still maintain the original state and display screen. Applied voltage, this low power consumption and memory characteristics also make cholesteric liquid crystal the first choice for e-books. At the same time, this display mechanism is less affected by the distance between the upper and lower plates, and has the potential and application to develop into a bistable flexible display. Compared with other types, such as TN-type liquid crystal display, cholesteric liquid crystal display has the advantages of power saving, color display, dimmable light and can be applied to bistable flexible display, etc., and is widely used.
目前胆固醇液晶书写板大部分是以物理力按压来进行转态。然而这种胆固醇液晶书写板要检测书写位置或进行局部擦拭时,需要额外在其液晶模组的阵列基板上配置对应的位置感测元件。然而,因为要在阵列基板上配置位置感测元件,因此需要进行非常多道的半导体光罩制造工艺。也就是说,目前在具有位置检测功能的胆固醇液晶书写板中,其负责位置感测的元件结构相对复杂,所以制造成本相对地被提高。并且,也会因为所额外增加的半导体制造工艺步骤,导致成品率低下。At present, most of the cholesteric liquid crystal writing boards are transformed by pressing with physical force. However, when this kind of cholesteric liquid crystal writing board needs to detect the writing position or perform partial wiping, it needs to additionally configure corresponding position sensing elements on the array substrate of its liquid crystal module. However, since the position sensing elements are to be disposed on the array substrate, many semiconductor photomask manufacturing processes are required. That is to say, in the current cholesteric liquid crystal tablet with position detection function, the structure of the element responsible for position sensing is relatively complex, so the manufacturing cost is relatively increased. Moreover, the yield rate is low due to the additional steps of the semiconductor manufacturing process.
承上所述,如何提供一种免去半导体制造工艺而使其制造成本下降,且兼具检测书写位置或擦拭位置功能的胆固醇液晶书写板,乃为一重要课题。Based on the above, how to provide a cholesteric liquid crystal writing board that eliminates the semiconductor manufacturing process to reduce the manufacturing cost and has the function of detecting the writing position or the wiping position is an important issue.

在各微开关单元10中,透明导电层12设置于第一透光基板11背向光入射面111的表面112。于此,表面112是第一透光基板11的另一表面。第二透光基板13具有面向透明导电层12的一第一表面131及与第一表面131相对的一第二表面132,且第二透光基板13具有贯穿第一表面131与第二表面132的一导电孔133。顾名思义,导电孔133的目的是为了电性导通之用。在本实施例中,若第二透光基板13为玻璃时,则可利用雷射在第二透光基板13上开孔,若第二透光基板13为塑胶时,则可利用蚀刻制造工艺开孔,以得到贯穿第一表面131与第二表面132的导电孔133。第一透明电极层14设置于第二透光基板13的第一表面131上,且经由导电孔133而延设至第二透光基板13的第二表面132,以在第二表面132上也形成间隔配置的第一透明电极层14。于此,在各微开关单元10中,透明导电层12、导电孔133与第一透明电极层14为一对一的对应关系。另外,至少一间隔件15设置于第一透光基板11与第二透光基板13之间,使得第一透光基板11与第二透光基板13之间具有间隙,进而使得透明导电层12与位于第二透光基板13的第一表面131上的第一透明电极层14之间具有间隙。具体来说,本实施例的间隔件15围设于微开关单元10的外侧,以使透明导电层12与第一透明电极层14之间具有间隙,进而形成微开关单元10。在不同的实施例中,间隔件15也可设置于透明导电层12与第一透明电极层14的内部。In each
又如图3A所示,第一胆固醇液晶模组2包括一第一基板21、一第二透明电极层22及一第一胆固醇液晶层23。第二透明电极层22设置在第一基板21面对第一胆固醇液晶层23的表面上。于此,第二透明电极层22可全面性地设置于第一基板21面向第一胆固醇液晶层23的表面211上,且第一胆固醇液晶层23设置于第二透明电极层22上,并位于第二透明电极层22与第一透明电极层14之间。前述的“全面性”是指,第二透明电极层22包含整面的共同电极,此共同电极铺满第一基板21面对第一胆固醇液晶层23的大部分表面。在不同的实施例中,第二透明电极层22可间隔配置地设置于第一基板21面向第一胆固醇液晶层23的表面上,本发明并不限制。Also as shown in FIG. 3A , the first cholesteric
如图3B所示,本实施例的微开关阵列模组1通过第二透光基板13而与第一胆固醇液晶模组2相互叠合,以使第一胆固醇液晶层23介于第一基板21与第二透光基板13之间。在一些实施例中,微开关阵列模组1与第一胆固醇液晶模组2之间可再利用黏着材料黏着,以加强结构的稳固性。当透明导电层12被往下压向第一透明电极层14且接触到第一透明电极层14时,微开关单元10则被导通,电信号就可经由微开关单元10的透明导电层12传递至第一透明电极层14,并经由导电孔133而传送至第二透光基板13的第二表面132上的第一透明电极层14。As shown in FIG. 3B , the microswitch array module 1 of this embodiment is stacked with the first cholesteric
在图3B中,第二透光基板13与第一基板21相对而设。第一胆固醇液晶层23具有多个胆固醇液晶分子(未绘示),其可填充而设置于第二透光基板13及第一基板21之间。另外,微开关电子书写板E更可包括一密封层(未绘示),密封层可为框胶,并设置于第二透光基板13及第一基板21之间,以密封第二透光基板13及第一基板21的外周围,使第二透光基板13与第一基板21之间具有一间隙。通过第二透光基板13及第一基板21与密封层可形成一容置空间,使胆固醇液晶分子可填充于容置空间中,以形成第一胆固醇液晶层23。本实施例的第一胆固醇液晶层23包含多个液晶控制区231,各液晶控制区231分别与各微开关单元10对应设置。换言之,各液晶控制区231的范围是由各微开关单元10所定义的,并可通过微开关单元10控制对应的液晶控制区231的胆固醇液晶分子。当电压信号传送至微开关单元10对应的第一透明电极层14与第二透明电极层22之间且形成电压差而产生电场时,可控制对应的液晶控制区231的胆固醇液晶分子转动。本实施例的透明导电层12、第一透明电极层14或第二透明电极层22的材料可为透明导电材料(例如ITO或IZO)或石墨烯,并不限制。In FIG. 3B , the second
在本实施例中,第一透光基板11为软性透光基板,且第一透光基板11与第二透光基板13分别为可透光基材,但第一基板21为光反射基板或光吸收基板,其会反射或吸收进入的光线。另外,第一透光基板11、第二透光基板13、或第一基板21的材料可分别为塑胶或玻璃。当第一透光基板11为玻璃基板时,其厚度可介于0.1毫米与0.35毫米之间(0.1mm≦d≦0.35mm),使第一透光基板11具有可弯折的特性。具体来说,一般较厚的玻璃基板(例如0.5mm~1.5mm)的硬度较高,难以因按压而弯折或变形,但第一透光基板11若使用厚度只有0.1毫米与0.35毫米之间的玻璃的话,则可呈现可挠特性而具有可按压、书写功能。在一些实施例中,第一透光基板11可例如但不限于利用化学机械平坦化(Chemical MechanicalPlanarization,CMP)制造工艺研磨减薄厚度到0.1毫米与0.35毫米之间。在一些实施例中,若第二透光基板13与第一基板21也具有可挠性的话,则可将微开关电子书写板E制作成曲面书写板或显示器。In this embodiment, the first light-transmitting
第一胆固醇液晶模组2可对应显示一颜色。具体来说,微开关电子书写板E可通过在第一胆固醇液晶模组2的第一胆固醇液晶层23中添加不同含量的旋光剂,以调配出例如红(R)、绿(G)或蓝(B)等颜色。于此,第一胆固醇液晶模组2对应显示的颜色可选自于例如但不限于红、绿、蓝的其中一者,或者是其他可见光的颜色。由于胆固醇液晶是通过在向列型液晶中加入旋光剂来达到特殊排列结构,并利用胆固醇液晶分子可在不同电压差、物理压力及/或温度的情况下呈现至少焦锥态(Focal conic state)、平面态(planar state)与垂直态(homeotropic state)等数种不同的稳态或暂态,以达到显示或清除效果。因此,可通过使胆固醇液晶的螺旋结构的轴向产生变化,从而使反射部份光线及/或部份光线穿过胆固醇液晶。亦即,可通过胆固醇液晶分子在不同状态下所具有的不同光线反射率或穿透率,来达成微开关电子书写板E的显示、书写,甚至是擦拭功能。The first cholesteric
本实施例的微开关电子书写板E更可包括一电压控制电路4,其分别与微开关阵列模组1及第一胆固醇液晶模组2电连接。于此,电压控制电路4分别与各微开关单元10的透明导电层12及第一胆固醇液晶模组2的第二透明电极层22电连接。当微开关单元10受到按压(图3B)而使透明导电层12与第一透明电极层14接触,进而使微开关单元10导电时,则电压控制电路4可经由微开关单元10的透明导电层12传送第一电压V1至第一透明电极层14,使得对应的第一胆固醇液晶层23的胆固醇液晶分子转态,据此显示书写轨迹T或擦拭书写轨迹T。The micro-switch electronic writing board E of this embodiment may further include a
使用者若要在微开关电子书写板E上书写文字或绘制图案时,则可选择书写模式,并利用手指、书写笔P(图3B)或其他硬物于微开关电子书写板E上书写,此时书写处(按压处)对应的微开关单元10将因按压而使其透明导电层12与第一透明电极层14接触而导通,电压控制电路4可经由导通的微开关单元10的透明导电层12传送第一电压V1至第一透明电极层14,再经由导电孔133传送至第二透光基板13的下表面的第一透明电极层14,电压控制电路4也将第二电压V2(例如为共同电压,例如但不限于为0伏特)传送至第二透明电极层22,则第一透明电极层14与第二透明电极层22的电压差(V1-V2)所产生的电场将迫使对应的第一胆固醇液晶层23的胆固醇液晶分子由焦锥态转态至平面态,据此可显示书写轨迹T。于此,第一电压V1减去第二电压V2等于书写电压。If the user wants to write characters or draw patterns on the micro-switch electronic writing board E, he can select the writing mode, and write on the micro-switch electronic writing board E with fingers, writing pen P (Fig. 3B) or other hard objects. At this time, the
举例来说,在本实施例的微开关电子书写板E中,在微开关单元10未受到按压而第一透明电极层14与第二透明电极层22未产生电压差时,第一胆固醇液晶层23的胆固醇液晶分子为焦锥态排列。此时,入射的光线大部分可经由第一透光基板11、第二透光基板13并穿透第一胆固醇液晶层23,少部分的入射光会产生散射,因此使用者会看见微开关电子书写板E的底色,例如黑色。当使用者利用手指、书写笔P或其他硬物于微开关电子书写板E上书写而使对应的微开关单元10导通时,第一电压V1将经由导通的微开关单元10传送至第一透明电极层14,使得第一透明电极层14与第二透明电极层22之间的电压差(V1-V2)所生成的电场可使对应的胆固醇液晶分子由原本的焦锥态转态而处于平面态排列。此时,于按压处(即第一透光基板11的凹陷处),部分的入射的光线发生布拉格反射,反射的光线(具有特定波长)则由光入射面111射出。同时,微开关电子书写板E就会在按压处显示出反射的光线的颜色,据此显示出书写轨迹T(图1),书写轨迹T将呈现第一胆固醇液晶模组2所对应的颜色(例如红色)。因此,若使用者于微开关电子书写板E上进行书写文字或绘制图案以产生书写轨迹T时,书写轨迹T将呈现反射的光线对应的颜色,即微开关电子书写板E对应显示的颜色。For example, in the micro-switch electronic writing board E of this embodiment, when the
另一方面,使用者若要在微开关电子书写板E上擦拭书写轨迹T时,则可选择擦拭模式(可局部或全部擦拭)。于此,电压控制电路4所供给的第一电压V1减去第二电压V2等于擦拭电压。当使用者利用书写笔P或其他的擦拭工具在要擦拭的书写轨迹T上(来回)按压时,此时擦拭处所对应的微开关单元10将因按压而使微开关单元10的透明导电层12与第一透明电极层14接触而导通。此时,电压控制电路4对透明导电层12所传送第一电压V1将经由导通的微开关单元10传导至第一透明电极层14,再经由导电孔133传送至第二透光基板13之下表面的第一透明电极层14。此时,第一透明电极层14与第二透明电极层22之间的压差(V1-V2)所产生的电场将迫使对应的胆固醇液晶分子由平面态转态至焦锥态,据此可清除(擦拭)对应的书写轨迹T。于此,第一电压V1与第二电压V2的差为擦拭电压。On the other hand, if the user wants to wipe the writing track T on the micro-switch electronic writing board E, he can choose a wiping mode (can be partially or completely wiped). Here, the first voltage V1 supplied by the
换句话说,在本实施例的微开关电子书写板E中,当使用者在光入射面111上看见有颜色的书写轨迹T时,若使用者选择擦拭模式且利用书写笔P(或擦拭笔)于书写轨迹T上擦拭而使对应的微开关单元10导通,此时电压控制电路4传送的第一电压V1将经由微开关单元10传送至第一透明电极层14,使得第一透明电极层14与第二透明电极层22之间的电压差(V1-V2)生成的电场可使对应的胆固醇液晶分子由原本的平面态转态而处于焦锥态排列。此时,于擦拭处(即第一透光基板11的凹陷处),入射的光线大部分可经由第一透光基板11、第二透光基板13并穿透第一胆固醇液晶层23,因此使用者在擦拭处就会看见微开关电子书写板E的底色,藉此清除擦拭处的书写轨迹T。In other words, in the micro-switch electronic writing board E of the present embodiment, when the user sees the colored writing track T on the
此外,在一些实施例中,电压控制电路4也可直接与所有的第一透明电极层14电连接。如此一来,当使用者通过按压微开关电子书写板E上的一全清除键(虚拟或实体按键,图未绘示)而将微开关电子书写板E切换至一全清除模式时,电压控制电路4可将一清除电压直接传送至所有的第一透明电极层14(不需经由微开开单元W),藉此驱动全部的液晶控制区231的胆固醇液晶转态至焦锥态,据以清除整个画面上所有的书写轨迹T。当然,电压控制电路4也可直接将另一型态的清除电压送至第二透明电极层22,据以清除整个画面上所有的书写轨迹T。In addition, in some embodiments, the
承上,在本实施例的微开关电子书写板E中,由于微开关阵列模组1与第一胆固醇液晶模组2的结构相当简单,制作成本相对低廉。而且,本实施例的微开关阵列模组1与第一胆固醇液晶模组2仅须相互叠合而无须精准定位,微开关阵列模组1即可控制第一胆固醇液晶模组2的显示,制作工序亦相当简便。换句话说,当微开关单元10受到按压而使透明导电层12与第一透明电极层14接触,进而使微开关单元10导通时,电压控制电路4可经由微开关单元10的透明导电层12传送控制电压(第一电压V1)至第一透明电极层14,使得对应的第一胆固醇液晶层23的胆固醇液晶分子转态,据此即可显示书写轨迹T或擦拭书写轨迹T。因此,本实施例的具有检测书写位置或擦拭位置的功能的微开关电子书写板E,其结构相当简单,制作成本相对低廉,且制作工序亦相当简便。As mentioned above, in the micro-switch electronic writing board E of this embodiment, since the structures of the micro-switch array module 1 and the first cholesteric
请参照图3C所示,本实施例的微开关电子书写板E与前述实施例的微开关电子书写板其元件组成及连接关系大致相同。不同之处在于,本实施例的第一基板21为透光基板,且微开关电子书写板E更可包括一背板5,背板5设置于第一基板21背向第一胆固醇液晶层23的表面。于此,背板5设置于第一基板21的表面212上。背板5可为黑色的光吸收板或包含光吸收层,或者背板5也可为白色的光反射板或包含光反射层。当背板5为黑色的光吸收板或包含光吸收层时,其会吸收穿过表面212的光线,使微开关电子书写板E成为一黑板。在一些实施例中,黑色光吸收板(或光吸收膜)的材料可与液晶显示装置的黑色矩阵(blackmatrix)的材料相同。另外,当背板5为白色的光反射板或包含光反射层时,其反射穿过表面212的光线,使微开关电子书写板E成为一白板。在一些实施例中,白色光反射板(或白色光反射膜)的材料例如可包含金属、金属氧化物、高反射漆(白漆)、或其组合,本发明并不限定。或者,在不同的实施例中,背板5的颜色也不限定为黑色或白色,其可为其他颜色或多种颜色的组合,并不限制。Please refer to FIG. 3C , the components and connections of the micro-switch electronic writing board E of this embodiment are substantially the same as those of the micro-switch electronic writing board of the previous embodiment. The difference is that the
请参照图4A与图4B所示,其分别为本发明所提供的微开关电子书写板的另一实施例的结构示意图。本实施例的微开关电子书写板E与前述实施例的微开关电子书写板E其元件组成及连接关系大致相同。不同之处在于,本实施例的微开关电子书写板E除了包含前述实施例的第一胆固醇液晶模组2外,更在第一胆固醇液晶模组2的第一基板21的另一表面212上设置有一间隔配置的第三透明电极层24,且第三透明电极层24电连接于第一透明电极层14(图4B)。Please refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B , which are schematic structural diagrams of another embodiment of the micro-switch electronic writing board provided by the present invention. The micro-switch electronic writing board E of this embodiment is substantially the same as the micro-switch electronic writing board E of the foregoing embodiments in terms of component composition and connection relationship. The difference is that, in addition to the first cholesteric
除此之外,本实施例的微开关电子书写板E更包括一第二胆固醇液晶模组3,第二胆固醇液晶模组3与第一胆固醇液晶模组2重叠设置。其中,第二胆固醇液晶模组3设置于第一胆固醇液晶模组2远离微开关阵列模组1的一侧,且第一胆固醇液晶模组2与第二胆固醇液晶模组3对应显示的颜色不同。于此,假设第一胆固醇液晶模组2对应的颜色为红色,且第二胆固醇液晶模组3对应的颜色为绿色为例。如图4A与图4B所示,第二胆固醇液晶模组3包含一第二基板31、一第四透明电极层32及一第二胆固醇液晶层33。于此,第四透明电极层32为共同电极,并全面性地设置于第二基板31面对第二胆固醇液晶层33的表面311上,而第二胆固醇液晶层33设置于第四透明电极层32上。另外,由于第一基板21面对第二胆固醇液晶层33的表面212上设置间隔配置的第三透明电极层24,使得第二胆固醇液晶层33夹置于第三透明电极层24与第四透明电极层32之间。于此,第二胆固醇液晶模组3通过第一基板21而与第一胆固醇液晶模组2相互叠合,以使第二胆固醇液晶层33介于第一基板21与第二基板31之间。另外,第二胆固醇液晶层33可包括多个液晶控制区331,且各液晶控制区331分别与各微开关单元10、各透明导电层12、各第一透明电极层14及各间隔配置的第三透明电极层24对应设置。In addition, the micro-switch electronic writing board E of this embodiment further includes a second cholesteric
本实施例的第一基板21为透光基板,但第二基板31为光吸收基板或光反射基板。当然,在不同的实施例中,与图3C相同,当第二基板31为透光基板时,也可在第二基板31远离第二胆固醇液晶层33的表面312设置一背板。另外,本实施例的各第一透明电极层14分别与对应的各第三透明电极层24电连接(图4B),因此,传送至第一透明电极层14的电压可同时传送至对应的第三透明电极层24。此外,本实施例的电压控制电路4分别与透明导电层12、第二透明电极层22及第四透明电极层32电连接。于此,电压控制电路4传送至透明导电层12的第一电压V1可为书写电压或擦拭电压,且电压控制电路4传送至第二透明电极层22及第四透明电极层32的第二电压V2与第三电压V3可为共同电压(例如0伏特)、书写电压或擦拭电压,视书写或擦拭而定。另外,本实施例的第一透光基板11、第二透光基板13、第一基板21、或第二基板31的材料可为塑胶或玻璃,而透明导电层12、第一透明电极层14、第二透明电极层22、第三透明电极层24、或第四透明电极层32的材料可为透明导电材料或石墨烯,皆不限制。In this embodiment, the
如图4B所示,在本实施例的微开关电子书写板E中,当微开关单元10受到按压而使微开关单元10导通时,电压控制电路4可经由微开关单元10施加第一电压V1至第一胆固醇液晶模组2及/或第二胆固醇液晶模组3,据此显示书写轨迹T或擦拭书写轨迹T。具体来说,假设使用者在微开关电子书写板E上书写,并且要让书写轨迹T呈现第一胆固醇液晶模组2所对应的红色时,且当书写笔P在光入射面111上按压、书写,使得按压处对应的微开关单元10导通时,第一电压V1可经由微开关单元10的透明导电层12传送至第二透光基板13的第二表面132的第一透明电极层14,藉此控制第一胆固醇液晶模组2对应的胆固醇液晶分子转态至平面态,使书写轨迹显示出对应的红色。于此,第一电压V1与第二电压V2的差为书写电压。此时,第一电压V1也会经由第一透明电极层14而传送至第三透明电极层24,为了不显示第二胆固醇液晶模组3所对应的绿色,则电压控制电路4不会传送共同电压,而是传送与第一电压V1相同的第三电压V3至第四透明电极层32(即第三电压V3等于第一电压V1),使得对应按压处的第三透明电极层24与第四透明电极层32的压差为0,藉此使得微开关单元10的导通不影响对应的第二胆固醇液晶模组3的第二胆固醇液晶层33的液晶控制区331,因此,书写轨迹T就不会显示第二胆固醇液晶模组3所对应的绿色。As shown in FIG. 4B , in the micro-switch electronic writing board E of this embodiment, when the
相反的,若使用者选择绿色时,虽然第一电压V1可经由微开关单元10传送至第一透明电极层14,但是,因为电压控制电路4不会传送共同电压,而会传送与第一电压V1相同的第二电压V2至第二透明电极层22,使得第一透明电极层14与第二透明电极层22的压差为0,则书写轨迹T就不会呈现第一胆固醇液晶模组2所对应的红色;但是,第一电压V1会经由第一透明电极层14而传送至第三透明电极层24,使得第三透明电极层24与第四透明电极层32(共同电压)之间具有压差而使第二胆固醇液晶层33对应的胆固醇液晶分子转态至平面态,据此使书写轨迹T显示出第二胆固醇液晶模组3所对应的绿色。此外,若第一胆固醇液晶模组2与第二胆固醇液晶模组3中的胆固醇液晶分子同时为平面态的话,则书写轨迹T将显示红色、绿色的混合色(蓝色),藉此使微开关电子书写板E可显示多彩的书写轨迹T。同样地,在擦拭模式时,使用者也可依循上述控制原理选择擦拭某一颜色的书写轨迹,或者,选择将两种颜色的混合色的书写轨迹皆擦拭掉,具体控制方法可参照上述的说明。Conversely, if the user selects green, although the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the first
此外,在一些实施例中,也可在第二胆固醇液晶模组3远离第一胆固醇液晶模组2的一侧再叠置一第三胆固醇液晶模组(未绘示),且使第三胆固醇液晶模组、第一胆固醇液晶模组2与第二胆固醇液晶模组3彼此对应的颜色皆不相同,藉此使书写轨迹T的颜色更呈现多样化。In addition, in some embodiments, a third cholesteric liquid crystal module (not shown) can also be stacked on the side of the second cholesteric
图5A与图5B为本发明所提供的微开关电子书写板的又一实施例的结构示意图。如图5A与图5B所示,本实施例的微开关电子书写板E与前述实施例的微开关电子书写板E其元件组成及连接关系大致相同。不同之处在于,本实施例的微开关电子书写板E更包括一第二胆固醇液晶模组3,且第二胆固醇液晶模组3与第一胆固醇液晶模组2重叠设置。5A and 5B are structural schematic diagrams of yet another embodiment of the micro-switch electronic writing board provided by the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B , the components and connections of the micro-switch electronic tablet E of this embodiment are substantially the same as those of the micro-switch electronic tablet E of the previous embodiment. The difference is that the micro-switch electronic writing board E of this embodiment further includes a second cholesteric
于此,仍以第一胆固醇液晶模组2对应的颜色为红色,且第二胆固醇液晶模组3对应的颜色为绿色为例。如图5A与图5B所示,第二胆固醇液晶模组3包含一第二基板31、一第四透明电极层32及一第二胆固醇液晶层33、一第三透光基板34与第五透明电极层35。于此,第四透明电极层32可为共同电极,并全面性地设置于第二基板31面对第二胆固醇液晶层33的表面311上,而第二胆固醇液晶层33设置于第四透明电极层32上。另外,第三透光基板34设置于第二胆固醇液晶层33上,且第三透光基板34面对第二胆固醇液晶层33的一表面341上设置有间隔配置的第五透明电极层35,因此,第二胆固醇液晶层33夹置于第五透明电极层35与第四透明电极层32之间。其中,第二胆固醇液晶模组3通过第一基板21及第三透光基板34而与第一胆固醇液晶模组2相互叠合。此外,第二胆固醇液晶层33可包括多个液晶控制区331,且各液晶控制区331分别与各微开关单元10、各透明导电层12、各第一透明电极层14、各间隔配置的第五透明电极层35对应设置。Here, it is still taken as an example that the color corresponding to the first cholesteric
本实施例的第一基板21为透光基板,但第二基板31为光吸收基板或光反射基板。当然,在不同的实施例中,与图3C相同,当第二基板31为透光基板时,也可在第二基板31远离第二胆固醇液晶层33的表面312设置一背板。另外,本实施例的第五透明电极层35电连接于对应的第一透明电极层14,因此,传送至第一透明电极层14的电压可同时传送至对应的第五透明电极层35。此外,本实施例的电压控制电路4分别与透明导电层12、第二透明电极层22及第四透明电极层32电连接。于此,电压控制电路4传送至透明导电层12的第一电压V1可为书写电压或擦拭电压,且电压控制电路4传送至第二透明电极层22及第四透明电极层32的第二电压V2与第三电压V3可为共同电压(例如0伏特)、书写电压或擦拭电压,视书写或擦拭而定。另外,本实施例的第一透光基板11、第二透光基板13、第三透光基板34、第一基板21、或第二基板31的材料可为塑胶或玻璃的材料可为塑胶或玻璃,而透明导电层12、第一透明电极层14、第二透明电极层22、第三透明电极层24、第四透明电极层32、或第五透明电极层35的材料可为透明导电材料或石墨烯,皆不限制。In this embodiment, the
如图5B所示,在本实施例的微开关电子书写板E中,当微开关单元10受到按压而使微开关单元10导通时,电压控制电路4可经由微开关单元10施加第一电压V1至第一胆固醇液晶模组2及/或第二胆固醇液晶模组3,据此显示书写轨迹T或擦拭书写轨迹T。具体来说,假设使用者在微开关电子书写板E上书写,并且要让书写轨迹T呈现第一胆固醇液晶模组2所对应的红色时,且当书写笔P在光入射面111上按压、书写,使得按压处对应的微开关单元10导通时,第一电压V1可经由微开关单元10的透明导电层12传送至第二透光基板13的第二表面132的第一透明电极层14,藉此控制第一胆固醇液晶模组2对应的胆固醇液晶分子转态至平面态,使书写轨迹显示出对应的红色。此时,第一电压V1也会经由第一透明电极层14而传送至第五透明电极层35,为了不显示第二胆固醇液晶模组3所对应的绿色,则电压控制电路4不会传送共同电压,而是传送与第一电压V1相同的第三电压V3至第四透明电极层32,使得对应按压处的第五透明电极层35与第四透明电极层32的压差为0,藉此使得微开关单元10的导通不影响对应的第二胆固醇液晶模组3的第二胆固醇液晶层33的液晶控制区331,因此,书写轨迹T就不会显示第二胆固醇液晶模组3所对应的绿色。As shown in FIG. 5B , in the micro-switch electronic writing board E of this embodiment, when the
相反的,若使用者选择绿色时,虽然第一电压V1可经由微开关单元10传送至第一透明电极层14,但是,因为电压控制电路4不会传送共同电压,而会传送与第一电压V1相同的第二电压V2至第二透明电极层22,使得第一透明电极层14与第二透明电极层22的压差为0,则书写轨迹T就不会呈现第一胆固醇液晶模组2所对应的红色;但是,第一电压V1会经由第一透明电极层14而传送至第五透明电极层35,使得第五透明电极层35与第四透明电极层32(第三电压V3为共同电压)之间具有压差而使第二胆固醇液晶层33对应的胆固醇液晶分子转态至平面态,据此使书写轨迹T显示出第二胆固醇液晶模组3所对应的绿色。此外,若第一胆固醇液晶模组2与第二胆固醇液晶模组3的胆固醇液晶分子同时为平面态的话,则书写轨迹T将显示红色、绿色的混合色(蓝色),藉此使微开关电子书写板E可显示多彩的书写轨迹T。同样地,在擦拭模式时,使用者也可依循上述控制原理选择擦拭某一颜色的书写轨迹,或者,选择将两种颜色的混合色的书写轨迹皆擦拭掉,具体控制方法可参照上述的说明。Conversely, if the user selects green, although the first voltage V1 can be transmitted to the first
此外,在一些实施例中,也可在本实施例的第二胆固醇液晶模组3远离第一胆固醇液晶模组2的一侧再叠置一第三胆固醇液晶模组(未绘示),且使第三胆固醇液晶模组、第一胆固醇液晶模组2与第二胆固醇液晶模组3彼此对应的颜色皆不相同,藉此使书写轨迹T的颜色更呈现多样化。In addition, in some embodiments, a third cholesteric liquid crystal module (not shown) can also be stacked on the side of the second cholesteric
综上所述,在本发明的微开关电子书写板中,包括微开关阵列模组以及胆固醇液晶模组。微开关阵列模组具有多个阵列配置的微开关单元,各微开关单元的透明导电层设置于第一透光基板背向光入射面的表面,第一透明电极层设置于第二透光基板的第一表面,且经由导电孔而延设至第二透光基板的第二表面;其中,微开关阵列模组通过第二透光基板而与胆固醇液晶模组相互叠合,以使胆固醇液晶层介于第一基板与第二透光基板之间。藉此,由于微开关阵列模组与胆固醇液晶模组的结构相当简单,制造成本不高;而将微开关阵列模组与胆固醇液晶模组相互叠合后即可制成具有检测书写位置或擦拭位置功能的微开关电子书写板,工序亦相当简便。故而,本发明的微开关电子书写板实具有制作工序简便与制造成本低廉的功效,且因为通过电压控制电路来控制第一透明电极层、第二透明电极层等电极层的电压,因此本发明的微开关电子书写板亦可以同时兼具检测书写位置或擦拭位置的功能。In summary, the micro-switch electronic writing board of the present invention includes a micro-switch array module and a cholesteric liquid crystal module.
