随着无线通信技术的快速发展,第五代(5th generation,5G)移动通信系统大规模开发,而利用商用无线毫米波频谱是5G新空口(newradio,NR)与4G(4th generation)网络的关键区别。
基于无线信道,工作在毫米波频段的5G NR可以分为两类:(1)固定服务,比如固定无线接入(fixed wireless access,FWA)、客户前置设备(Customer Premise Equipment,CPE)和基站等;(2)移动服务,比如移动终端和蜂窝终端等用户设备。毫米波生态系统需要同时且无缝运行两种服务。
与毫米波固定服务中CPE和基站类似,毫米波移动服务中的电子设备采用预设的天线阵列配置来减少自由空间的路径损耗,即波束赋形,在指定方向角度产生高指向性的电磁波束,其中所述波束由天线阵列中每一个天线的幅度与相位确定。这与工作在6GHz以下的电子设备采用的天线不同,工作在6GHz以下的电子设备中,天线一般为全向波束天线,这样的球形波束能够实现全覆盖,可以避免电子设备移动造成的无线信号盲区。但是,对于工作在毫米波频段的电子设备而言,要实现高指向天线波束在球面上的快速转向,需要高度复杂的相控阵天线波束控制系统。由于电子设备结构紧凑,物理空间使用受限,因此当前的毫米波天线主要是平面形状,以便于集成。而对于工作在毫米波频段的电子设备而言,需要多个相控阵天线才能实现球形覆盖。

其中,玻璃盖板(cover glass,CG)13可以紧贴显示模组15设置,可主要用于对显示模组15起到保护防尘作用。
在一个实施例中,显示模组15可以包括液晶显示面板(liquid crystal display,LCD),发光二极管(light emitting diode,LED)显示面板或者有机发光半导体(organic light-emitting diode,OLED)显示面板等,本申请对此并不做限制。

随着无线通信技术的快速发展,毫米波具有极宽的带宽,并且具有保密性好,传输质量高等优点。因此,对于毫米波频段的应用越来越收到关注。但是,对于工作在毫米波频段的电子设备而言,要实现高指向天线波束在球面上的快速转向,需要高度复杂的相控阵天线波束控制系统。由于电子设备结构紧凑,物理空间使用受限,当前的天线主要是平面形状以便于集成。而对于工作在毫米波频段的电子设备而言,需要多个相控阵天线才能实 现球形覆盖。一种最简单直接的方法是在电子设备的正反表面(屏幕为正面)上分布布置两个毫米波天线,从而实现电磁波的球形覆盖。然而,实际上,电子设备的正面很可能是高分辨率屏幕,即发光二极管或液晶显示模组,模组结构中的金属走线或其他导电层(金属氧化物等)能够阻止电磁波的通过。布局在电子设备的反面的天线仅能够覆盖非显示面的空域,而显示面的空域受到显示模组的影响,很难有信号能够传播到显示模组一侧。一种最简单直接的方法是在电子设备的正反表面(例如,可以将屏幕定义为正面)上分布布置两个毫米波天线(或者两个毫米波天线阵列),从而实现球形覆盖。然而,实际上,电子设备的正面很可能是高分辨率屏幕,即发光二极管或液晶显示模组,而显示模组结构中的金属走线或其他导电层(金属氧化物等)会阻止电磁波的通过。布局在电子设备的反面的天线发射的电磁波仅能够覆盖非显示面的空域,而显示面的空域受到显示模组的影响,很难有信号能够传播到显示模组一侧。因此,对于工作在毫米波频段的电子设备,波束覆盖严重受到限制。此外,电磁波的横向或纵向传播还受到用户手部的干扰,这给毫米波和太赫兹波段的天线应用增加了限制。为解决这些问题,最近提出了光学不可见显示天线(antenna on display,AOD)的概念,即在将平面天线集成到屏幕的可视区域。该概念很容易在玻璃基板上实现,然而在实际的屏幕中还需要考虑前盖板玻璃、偏光片、触控层等结构的影响。
图2是一种显示模组的结构示意图(例如,图1中显示模组15在XOZ面的剖面图),可以应用于图1所示的设备中。
如图2所示,显示模组可以包括盖板,偏光片(polarizer,POL),显示面板和背板(backplane)。
其中,盖板,POL,显示面板和背板依次层叠设置,POL可以通过光学透明粘合剂(optically clear adhesive,OCA)与盖板和显示面板连接,或者POL可以通过自带的胶层(粘合剂)与OLED连接。背板可以是金属材质,可以用于防止电子设备内部的电子元件对屏幕的干扰。显示面板可以为OLED显示面板,也可以是其他类型的显示面板(例如,液晶显示面板)。以显示面板为OLED为例,OLED中可以集成触控传感器,OLED可以在连接区域(例如,图2中显示面板的上表面)通过柔性电路板(flexible printed circuit,FPC)与电子设备内的触控芯片电连接。应理解,在实际的电子设备中,显示面板可能还需要与其他芯片电连接,图2仅作为举例使用,对此并不做限制。
本申请实施例提供了一种显示模组和电子设备,通过在显示模组中增加一层透明介质层,在透明介质层上沉积金属形成金属网格,由金属网格的部分作为天线结构的辐射体。显示模组集成天线后,由于经过光学设计优化,金属网格可以满足透光率要求,不会明显影响显示效果,不会较低用户体验。同时由于在显示模组上集成了天线结构,增加了无线信号的覆盖空域,避免出现信号盲区,使得电子设备在毫米波频段具有更加可靠的连接,满足通信的需求。

应理解,图3所示的集成有AOD的显示模组与图2所示的显示模组的区别在于,在其基础上增加了透明介质层110和金属网格120,其中,透明介质层110可以作为金属网格的载体。由于显示模组100中增加了透明介质层110和金属网格120,可以在满足透光率要求,保证显示器的显示效果的同时,增加的无线信号的覆盖空域,避免了出现信号盲区,使得电子设备在毫米波频段具有更加可靠的连接,满足通信的需求。
在一个实施例中,透明介质层110可以是环烯烃聚合物(cyclo olefin polymer,COP),透明聚酰亚胺薄膜(colorless polyimide,CPI),涤纶树脂(polyethylene terephthalate,PET)或是其他具有高透明特性(透过率≥90%)的介质,本申请对此并不做限制。透明介质层110可以通过OCA102与盖板101连接。透明介质层110的介质可以具有一定的机械强度和柔韧性,以满足加工过程的需要。透明介质层110的介质的介电常数可以介于2和4之间,以满足天线的辐射特性。
在一个实施例中,构成金属网格120的金属材料可以是金属合金,金属氧化物或其他导电材料,本申请对此并不做限制。
在一个实施例中,金属网格120可以覆盖透明介质层110的表面,当用户使用时不会由于有些区域没有设置金属网格120而产生视觉区别,这样可以增加用户体验。
在一个实施例中,显示模组100还可以包括偏光片POL103,其中所述POL103可以设置于盖板101和透明介质层110之间,并通过OCA102与盖板101连接。POL103可以过滤反射光线,增加成像反差,可以有效提高色彩的饱和度,并提高画面的清晰度。

在一个实施例中,显示模组100可以包括FPC108,FPC108的一端可以在连接区域2与金属网格120电连接,另一端与电子设备内的射频芯片130电连接或耦合连接。其中,射频芯片130可以作为馈电单元为金属网格120中的天线结构馈入电信号。应理解,射频芯片130可以是电子设备内射频前端中的芯片,或者,也可以是射频电路中的器件,例如,可以是功率放大器(power amplifier,PA),低噪声放大器(low noise amplifier,LNA)或声表面波滤波器(surface acoustic wave,SAW)等器件。
图4是本申请实施例提供的金属网格200的结构示意图(例如,图3中金属网格120在XOY面的剖面图)。
如图4所示,金属网格200包括第一区域210和第二区域220。

如图5所示,金属网格由多个网格子单元201组成,多个网格子单元201可以呈周期性排布,第一天线单元240为金属网格状的一个天线单元。第一天线单元240包括辐射部件250和馈电部件260,馈电部件260的一端与辐射部件250电连接。第一天线单元240任意一处的宽度均大于或等于网格子单元201的宽度,可以理解为辐射部件250或馈电部件260的宽度大于或等于网格子单元的宽度,辐射部件250的宽度可以是认为是辐射部件250中任意一个部件的相对的两条边沿之间的距离,或者,也可以认为是辐射部件250中任意一个部件沿某一方向(例如,X方向或Y方向)的距离。
应理解,本申请实施例中以第一天线单元240为贴片(patch)天线为例进行说明,第一天线单元根据实际的应用,也可以是其他类型的单层平面天线,例如,偶极子天线,倒F天线等,本申请对此并不做限制。
在一个实施例中,网格子单元201可以是三角形,正方形,长方形,六边形,八边形,“中”字形,“Z”字形,本申请对此并不做限制,为介绍的简洁,本申请仅以网格子单元201为菱形进行举例,如图4所示,可以根据实际的设计或生产需要进行调整。
在一个实施例中,如图4所示,第一区域210和第二区域220之间形成缝隙230的宽度D大于或等于6um。可以通过调整缝隙230的宽度,控制第一区域230中的第一天线单元240受第二区域230的网格子单元的影响程度。
在一个实施例中,如图5所示,馈电部件260可以与电子设备内的馈电单元270电连接,用于为辐射部件250馈电。应理解,馈电单元270可以是电子设备内部的射频芯片中的一条射频通道。
在一个实施例中,如图5所示,馈电部件260的宽度L1可以大于或等于网格子单元201的宽度L3,以保证良好的电信号传输,即馈电部件260的宽度L1满足以下公式:
Figure PCTCN2022090148-appb-000002
其中,L2为网格子单元的边长,θ为网格子单元201中沿馈电部件上电流方向的夹角。馈电部件上电流方向可以认为是主要电流方向,即由多个电流矢量合成的方向,例如,电流沿网格子单元201的边沿传输时,其主要电流方向为Y方向。θ可以是钝角也可以是锐角或者直角,主要电流方向可以理解为馈电部件上超过50%的电流强度的方向。
在一个实施例中,馈电部件260在宽度L1方向(例如,X方向)上包括至少一个网格子单元201,可以理解为馈电部件260在宽度L1方向上包括至少一个完整的网格子单元201,至少一个完整的网格子单元201不会被缝隙分切,相对于被切分的网格子单元201来说,这样可以保证良好的电信号传输,保证第一天线单元240的辐射特性。
在一个实施例中,辐射体部件250可以包括第一辐射体251,第二辐射体252,第三辐射体253和第四辐射体254。馈电部件260包括第一馈电线261和第二馈电线262。其中,第一辐射体251,第二辐射体252,第三辐射体253和第四辐射体254呈2×2阵列分布,其中,第一辐射体251和第三辐射体253沿X方向相对设置(不相邻),第二辐射体252和第四辐射体254沿Y方向相对设置。第一馈电线261的一端分别与第一辐射体251和第二辐射体252电连接,第二馈电线262的一端分别与第二辐射体252和第三辐射体253电连接。

应理解,对于第一天线单元240来说,第一馈电单元271通过第一馈电线261和第一连接件281为第一辐射体251和第二辐射体252馈电,天线单元可以产生第一谐振。第一辐射体251的电信号可以通过缝隙耦合到第三辐射体253,第二辐射体252上的电信号可以通过缝隙耦合到第四辐射体254,天线单元可以产生第二谐振。在这种情况下,第一谐振和第二谐振的极化方式相同,为第一极化方式。由于第一天线单元240在第一馈电单元馈电时可以产生两个谐振,因此其工作带宽得到拓展。
对应的,第二馈电单元272通过第二馈电线262和第二连接件282为第二辐射体252和第三辐射体253馈电时,天线单元可以产生第三谐振。第二辐射体252的电信号可以通过缝隙耦合到第一辐射体251,第三辐射体253上的电信号可以通过缝隙耦合到第四辐射体254,天线单元可以产生第四谐振。在这种情况下,第三谐振和第四谐振的极化方式相同,为第二极化方式。由于第一天线单元240在第二馈电单元馈电时可以产生两个谐振,因此其工作带宽得到拓展。
其中,第一极化方式可以为左倾45度极化天线,第二极化方式可以为右倾45度极化天线,可以应用于多入多出(multiple-in multiple-out,MIMO)天线系统。应理解,对于左倾45度极化和右倾45度极化来说,可以认为是其极化方向与X坐标轴所呈角度为-45°和+45°。在第一天线单元240中,馈入的电信号通过缝隙产生耦合,对应的两个极化方式都可以分别产生两个谐振,提升MIMO天线系统的性能和频率带宽。
在一个实施例中,显示模组还可以包括FPC290。FPC290的一端与馈电线(例如,第一馈电线261或者第二馈电线262)电连接,FPC的另一端与电子设备的馈电单元270电连接,FPC290用于将馈电单元270提供的电信号馈入第一馈电线261和第二馈电线262。应理解,FPC中包括多条不同的电流通路,馈电单元270的电信号可以通过不同的电流通路馈入第一馈电线261和第二馈电线262。例如,第一馈电线261可以馈入第一馈电单元提供的电信号,第二馈电线262可以馈入第二馈电单元提供的电信号,第一馈电单元和第二馈电单元可以为发射单元,第一馈电单元和第二馈电单元为电子设备内同一射频芯片中的不同射频通道。在这种情况下,可以根据实际的需求进行调整。
在一个实施例中,第一天线单元240的工作频段可以包括第一频段,第一频段可以为24.25-29.5GHz。或者,也可以是其他毫米波频段,例如,37.5-43.5GHz,或者,也可以是更高的频段,50GHz,60GHz,本申请对此并不做限制,可以根据实际的需求进行调整。
图6和图7是本申请实施例提供的显示面板为OLED的结构示意图。其中,图6是本申请实施例提供的OLED上像素点的排布示意图。图7是本申请实施例提供的金属网格贴 合在OLED上与像素点的相对位置示意图。
如图6所示,本申请实施例所提供的OLED中的像素点采用钻石排列的方式,仅作为举例使用。应理解,不同显示面板的像素点的大小可能不同,同一个显示面板上的不同颜色的像素点的大小也可能不同,本申请对此并不做限制。同时,为介绍的简洁,本申请实施例仅以像素点之间的距离D为100um为例进行介绍。像素点之间的距离D可以认为是相邻像素点上距离最近的点之间的直线距离。本申请对上述内容并不限制,可以根据实际的设计进行调整。
如图7所示,为金属网格贴合在OLED上与像素点之间的相对位置。应理解,由于显示器制备过程中,由于显示器中各个部件的贴合精度远大于2um,为保证用户在使用电子设备时,避免受到显示器中因为增加的金属网格所带来的摩尔纹的影响,不降低用户的使用体验。因此,对于金属网格来说,要在保证天线结构的电特性的同时,保证高透明低摩尔纹的光特性。
用户使用电子设备的时候,显示屏会出现摩尔纹现象,影响用户体验。摩尔纹是一种在显示面板上,出现的高频干扰的条纹,是一种会使图片出现彩色的高频率不规则的条纹。当显示面板的像素点之间的距离D与设置在其上方的网格子单元的边长,宽度等不匹配时,网格子单元就会对像素点的成像产生影响,从而产生摩尔纹,降低用户体验。
在一个实施例中,围成金属网格的网格子单元的金属线的宽度可以小于或等于2um,以保证高透明低摩尔纹的光特性,提升用户体验。
在一个实施例中,围成金属网格的网格子单元的金属线的厚度可以介于0.7um和4um之间,保持阻抗较低,以保证天线结构良好的辐射特性。应理解,金属线的厚度可以认为是网格子单元在z方向
在一个实施例中,如图8所示,网格子单元201的边长L2可以为图6所示的像素点之间的距离D多一倍(2×D),以保证无明显的摩尔纹,例如,像素点之间的距离D为100um,网格子单元201的边长L2可以约为200um。
在一个实施例中,网格子单元201中的锐角α可以介于45°至90°之间,对应的,钝角β可以介于90°至135°之间,以保证良好的用户视觉效果,增强用户体验。可以根据网格子单元201中的角度确定围成金属网格的网格子单元的金属线之间的距离L3。例如,网格子单元201的边长L2可以为200um,网格子单元201中的锐角α为67°,此时,金属线之间的距离L3为184.1um。对应的,也可以根据网格子单元201中的角度确定网格子单元201的宽度,以网格子单元201的边长L2可以为200um为例,钝角β对应的网格子单元201的宽度L4可以介于400um和450um之间,锐角α对应的网格子单元201的宽度L5可以介于250um和300um之间。
在一个实施例中,网格子单元201的宽度(例如,图8中钝角β对应的网格子单元201的宽度L4和锐角α对应的网格子单元201的宽度L5)可以小于500um,这样可以使组成第一天线单元240的网格子单元201的阻抗较低,以便第一天线单元240获得足够高的天线辐射效率。
图9是本申请实施例提供的FPC的结构示意图。
如图9中的(a)所示,显示模组可以包括FPC320,FPC320的一端可以在连接区域301与第一天线单元310电连接,另一端可以与电子设备中的射频芯片330电连接,FPC320 可以用于将电子设备中射频芯片330提供的电信号传输至第一天线单元310。
在一个实施例中,为了减少电磁干扰,FPC320的信号传输部分可以采用带状线的方案,信号传输线的两侧均设置有柔性介质层,在信号传输线的两端通过金属过孔将信号传输线与射频芯片330或第一天线单元310电连接。
在一个实施例中,为了减小介质损耗,FPC320中的介质层可以应使用具有低损耗的材料,例如聚酰亚胺(polyimide,PI),液晶聚合物(liquid crystal polymer,LCP)等材料。
在一个实施例中,由于FPC320中传输的电信号为高频信号,FPC320与第一天线单元310在连接区域301的有效接触区域面积会影响电信号的传输质量。为增加在连接区域301的有效接触面积,可以使用具有较高的金属粒子含量和密度的绑定胶,例如异方性导电胶膜(anisotropic conductive film,ACF)。此外,绑定胶中的金属粒子的最佳直径和密度,以及绑定的最佳温度和压力可以通过工艺验证或设计需求得到,本申请对此并不做限制。
在一个实施例中,可以改变FPC上传输电信号的传输线的宽度,或者,也可以在传输线上串入匹配电路,进行阻抗变换以实现与第一天线单元310的匹配。
在一个实施例中,如图9中的(b)所示,FPC320上设置有陷波单元321,陷波结构321可以用于提升第一馈电线和第二馈电线之间的隔离度,提升第一天线单元310的辐射性能。例如,陷波结构321可以采用槽型结构,例如,在FPC中与第一天线结构310的第一馈电线和第二馈电线连接的传输线322和323的两侧开槽,并将槽两侧的金属接地(与电子设备内的金属层电连接),以实现提升第一馈电线和第二馈电线之间的隔离度的目的。
在一个实施例中,如图9中的(b)所示,陷波结构321中还可以包括C型结构,以进一步提升第一馈电线和第二馈电线之间的隔离度。

应理解,金属网格的第一区域中可以包括多个天线单元,其数量可以根据实际的设计需求进行调整,本申请对此并不做限制。
