Abstract

Disclosed is a prism sheet, a prism assembly, and a display device. The prism assembly includes a first prism sheet and a second prism sheet stacked with the first prism sheet. The first prism sheet includes a plurality of first subareas, and each first subarea includes at least one first sub-prism; the second prism sheet includes a plurality of second subareas, and each second subarea includes at least one second sub-prism. An orthographic projection of each first subarea on the second prism sheet corresponds to one of the plurality of second subareas one to one; an extending direction of the at least one first sub-prism in a first subarea is perpendicular to an extending direction of the at least one second sub-prism in a second subarea corresponding to the first subarea.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A prism sheet, comprising: a substrate, a first surface of the substrate comprising a plurality of subareas, each of the plurality of subareas comprising a plurality of sub-prisms arranged substantially in parallel;
wherein extending directions of the plurality of sub-prisms in two adjacent subareas of the plurality of subareas are different from each other;
wherein the plurality of subareas are arranged in an array; in any four subareas of the plurality of subareas intersecting at one point, two subareas have no adjacent edge, and the extending directions of the plurality of sub-prisms in these two subareas are the same.

2. The prism sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a shape of each of the plurality of subareas is rectangular.

3. The prism sheet according to claim 1 , further comprising: a cutting slit; the substrate has a polygonal shape, and the cutting slit is at a vertex of the polygonal shape.

4. A prism assembly, comprising: a first prism sheet and a second prism sheet stacked with the first prism sheet;
wherein the first prism sheet comprises a plurality of first subareas, and each of the plurality of first subareas comprises at least one first sub-prism; the second prism sheet comprises a plurality of second subareas, and each of the plurality of second subareas comprises at least one second sub-prism;
and wherein an orthographic projection of each of the plurality of first subareas on the first prism sheet corresponds to one of the plurality of second subareas one to one; an extending direction of the at least one first sub-prism in a first subarea of the plurality of first subareas is perpendicular to an extending direction of the at least one second sub-prism in a second subarea of the plurality of second subareas corresponding to the first subarea.

5. The prism assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of first subareas are arranged in an array; in any four first subareas of the plurality of first subareas intersecting at one point, two first subareas have no adjacent edge, and the extending directions of the plurality of sub-prisms in these two first subareas are the same;
and wherein the plurality of second subareas are arranged in a rectangular array; in any four second subareas of the plurality of second subareas intersecting at one point, two second subareas have no adjacent edge, and the extending directions of the plurality of sub-prisms in these two second subareas are the same.

6. The prism assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of first subareas intersect at a first intersection point, and each of the plurality of first subareas comprises one first sub-prism; extension lines of all first sub-prisms of the plurality of first subareas pass through the first intersection point; the plurality of second subareas intersect at a second intersection point, and the extending direction of the at least one second sub-prism in each of the plurality of second subareas is substantially parallel to a tangential direction of a concentric circle or a spiral line centered on the second intersection point; an orthographic projection of the first intersection point on the second prism sheet coincides with the second intersection point.

7. The prism assembly according to claim 4 , wherein each of the at least one first sub-prism is continuous, and each of the at least one second sub-prism is continuous.

8. The prism assembly according to claim 4 , wherein each of the at least one first sub-prism comprises at least one breakpoint, and each of the at least one second sub-prism comprises at least one breakpoint.

9. The prism assembly according to claim 6 , wherein all the first sub-prisms divide a round angle equally.

10. The prism assembly according to claim 6 , wherein a distance from inner ends of some first sub-prisms to a center of the first prism sheet is a, a distance from inner ends of other first sub-prisms to the center is b, and a>b.

11. The prism assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the first prism sheet and the second prism sheet have the same polygonal shape; at least one of the first prism sheet and the second prism sheet further comprises a cutting slit, and the cutting slit is at a vertex of the polygonal shape.

12. The prism assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one first sub-prism is on a surface of the first prism sheet facing away from the second prism sheet; the at least one second sub-prism is on a surface of the second prism sheet facing away from the first prism sheet.

13. A display device comprising a backlight module; wherein the backlight module comprises a light source assembly and the prism assembly according to claim 4 .

14. The display device according to claim 13 , wherein the plurality of first subareas are arranged in an array; in any four first subareas of the plurality of first subareas intersecting at one point, two first subareas have no adjacent edge, and the extending directions of the sub-prisms in these two first subareas are the same;
and wherein the plurality of second subareas are arranged in a rectangular array; in any four second subareas of the plurality of second subareas intersecting at one point, two second subareas have no adjacent edge, and the extending directions of the plurality of sub-prisms in these two second subareas are the same.

15. The display device according to claim 13 , wherein the plurality of first subareas intersect at a first intersection point, and each of the plurality of first subareas comprises one first sub-prism; extension lines of all first sub-prisms of the plurality of first subareas pass through the first intersection point; the plurality of second subareas intersect at a second intersection point, and the extending direction of the at least one second sub-prism in each of the plurality of second subareas is substantially parallel to a tangential direction of a concentric circle or a spiral line centered on the second intersection point; an orthographic projection of the first intersection point on the second prism sheet coincides with the second intersection point.

16. The display device according to claim 13 , wherein each of the at least one first sub-prism is continuous, and each of the at least one second sub-prism is continuous.
