Abstract

A display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus includes a flat display panel; a light deflector, the light deflector being located in a light emergent direction of the display panel, the light deflector being configured to converge light emitted from the display panel in a direction toward a center plane, the center plane being perpendicular to the display panel, and a vertical center line of the display panel being located in the center plane.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display apparatus, comprising:
a flat display panel;
a light deflector, the light deflector being located in a light emergent direction of the display panel, the light deflector being configured to converge light emitted from the display panel in a direction toward a center plane, the center plane being perpendicular to the display panel, and a vertical center line of the display panel being located in the center plane,
wherein, the display panel includes:
a first substrate and a second substrate provided opposite to and parallel to each other, the second substrate being closer to the light deflector with respect to the first substrate;
a light correction portion, the light correction portion being carried by the first substrate or the second substrate, and the light correction portion being configured to change a direction of incident light to correct the incident light into emergent light perpendicular to the display panel wherein, the light correction portion includes:
a diffraction grating, the diffraction grating having a grating surface and a groove surface, the groove surface including a plurality of sub-groove surfaces, and the respective sub-groove surfaces being provided obliquely, the grating surface being a light incident surface, and the groove surface being a light emergent surface;
a first dielectric layer, the first dielectric layer being located on the groove surface of the diffraction grating, and light emitted from the diffraction grating being refracted by the light emergent surface of the first dielectric layer, changed into emergent light perpendicular to the display panel.

2. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein,
the light correction portion further includes: a second dielectric layer, the second dielectric layer being located on the light emergent surface of the first dielectric layer, and a light emergent surface of the second dielectric layer being parallel to the display panel.

3. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, the respective sub-groove surfaces are arranged in parallel, and the light emergent surface of the first dielectric layer is one inclined plane or includes a plurality of parallel refractive subsurfaces.

4. The display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein, the sub-groove surface and the light emergent surface of the first dielectric layer are inclined towards opposite directions.

5. The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, the diffraction grating includes groove portions arranged periodically, the groove portion within each period including: groove groups arranged sequentially, the numbers of groove portions included in the respective groove groups being the same, shapes of groove portions within a same groove group being the same, and shapes of groove portions in different groove groups being different.
