Large scale transparency-adjustable mini-LED display with recoverable color gamut by a highly transparent electrochromic shutter

Abstract

In this work, a 25 inch (400 × 500 mm) transparency-adjustable mini-LED (TA-MLED) display is constructed of a transparent mini-LED (T-MLED) screen and an electrochromic (EC) shutter. The shutter shows a high transmittance of 86.5% with imperceptible color shift, enabling a perfect vision experience for see-through application. Furthermore, the response speed of the shutter is accelerated by optimal designs in splicing and driving. The coloring time is 55 s, and bleaching time is 36 s. Transmittance of the TA-MLED could be modulated from 3% to 60%. The transparency-adjustable property extends availability of the see-through display screens under strong light irradiations. The T-MLED’s color gamut in CIE 1976 shrinks from 145.1% sRGB to 3.6% sRGB with 5161 cd/m 2 of backside illumination, and is significantly enhanced to 83.5% sRGB with the active EC shutter.
