[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] Please refer to Figs. 1-4 The present application provides an embodiment: first, select a suitable bottom glass in the manufacturing process, and reserve an area 201 for carrying a color pattern thereon. In this example, a piece of transparent glass with appropriate thickness is selected as the first substrate 2, and a high-precision silk-screen printing technology or UV printing technology is used to add a color pattern 202 in the designated area 201. For example, in order to enhance brand recognition, a company logo is printed on the first substrate 2 of the smart watch display screen, which adopts two colors of blue and green, and is carefully designed to adapt to the polarization characteristics of TN LCD, so as to ensure good color performance and contrast under different viewing angles.

[0028] Next, the colors of the color pattern 202 are precisely adjusted. Since the polarizer of the LCD will affect the final display color effect, the colors need to be adjusted according to the specific polarization characteristics and target display effect. In this example, the best color matching scheme is determined through multiple tests: for the blue part, a slightly bright sky blue is selected; for the green part, a high-saturation grass green is selected. The selection of these colors not only takes into account the aesthetics, but also takes into account the overall visual effect when superimposed with black and white content.

[0029] Subsequently, the first substrate 2 and the second substrate 3 are assembled together, and a layer of liquid crystal material 6 is filled between the two. In this step, the distance between the two substrates is ensured to be uniform, so as to avoid affecting the normal arrangement of the liquid crystal molecules. At the same time, the bottom polarizer 1 and the surface polarizer 4 are respectively installed on the outer side of the first substrate 2 and the outer side of the second substrate 3. In this step, linear polarizers are selected as the bottom polarizer 1 and the surface polarizer 4, so as to optimize the display contrast and brightness.

[0030] Finally, the LCD driving module 5 is installed, which is configured to control the arrangement state of the liquid crystal molecules, so as to realize the normal display of image information. The driving module is placed on the side of the bottom polarizer 1 away from the first substrate 2, so as to facilitate operation and maintenance.

[0031] After the assembly is completed, when the LCD is lit, the pre-printed color pattern 202 can be perfectly integrated with the normally displayed content, providing rich color expression without significantly increasing the overall cost or complexity of the device. In addition, by measuring the display effect at different viewing angles, it is found that even at extreme angles, the color distortion remains at a low level, proving the effectiveness and practicality of the method.

[0032] Working principle: by printing or printing the color pattern on the bottom glass, when the LCD is lit, the color pattern will be superimposed with the normally displayed LCD content, realizing the color display effect.

[0033] The implementation steps of the device include: first, selecting a suitable bottom glass in the manufacturing process and adding a color pattern on it using high-precision printing or printing technology. Then, according to the working principle of TN or FSTN LCD and its polarization characteristics, the color of the color pattern is accurately adjusted to ensure good color expression and contrast at different viewing angles. Finally, after the assembly of the LCD module is completed, when it is lit, the color pattern integrated with the LCD display content can be observed, thereby realizing the color display function on the traditional TN or FSTN LCD.

Moreover, the terms "include", "contain" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or device.
