Solution Overview

Problem

Current 3D display technologies suffer from severe moiré issues, which degrade the display effect by causing interference between sub-pixel sizes and lenticular lenses, leading to a less realistic visual experience.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a moiré suppression layer at the light-emitting side of the display panel, which includes a light scattering film and a haze layer, positioned between the polarizer and the lens structure or within the polarizer, to scatter light asymmetrically and reduce regular reflection, thereby alleviating moiré effects and enhancing display quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a lenticular lens structure is used for 3D display, then the three-dimensional visual effect is improved, but severe moiré interference occurs between the sub-pixels and lenses

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D display capabilityVSAvoidmoiré interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A moiré suppression layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the display panel and the lenticular lens structure. This layer contains light scattering particles that randomize the phase of light waves, thereby suppressing the moiré interference patterns that would otherwise form due to the periodic interaction between sub-pixels and lenses.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The optical properties of the light emission are modified by introducing a haze layer with specific optical characteristics. The layer has a haze value within a predetermined range (e.g., 10-90%) and contains dispersion particles with specific size distributions, which changes the light scattering parameters to reduce moiré while preserving 3D display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the moiré suppression layer is added to reduce moiré interference, then the display quality is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoiré interferenceVSAvoidlayer structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The moiré suppression layer is integrated with existing display components such as the polarizer or encapsulation layers. By combining the moiré suppression function with structures that are already present in the display device, the overall structural complexity is minimized while still achieving the desired moiré reduction effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The moiré suppression layer serves multiple functions simultaneously: it suppresses moiré interference, maintains light transmission for 3D display, and can be integrated with the polarizer structure. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
