Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stereoscopic display devices face challenges in fabricating optical filters with precise phase difference layers, leading to phase difference deviations that result in crosstalk and poor image quality due to complex fabrication processes and difficulties in matching filter patterns with display panel pixels.
Innovation Solution
The use of 3D glasses with compensation films having different phase difference values at the right-eye and left-eye areas to compensate for phase difference deviations in the optical filter, ensuring clear separation of left-eye and right-eye images and reducing crosstalk.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If chemical etching is used to fabricate optical filter patterns, then manufacturing precision can be improved, but device complexity and manufacturing cost increase due to complicated fabrication processes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the complicated chemical etching process from the fabrication sequence. Instead of using chemical etching to create optical filter patterns, the invention employs a simpler photolithography-based process where photoresist is coated, exposed through a mask, and developed to form the desired patterns. This extraction of the complex chemical etching step reduces fabrication process complexity while maintaining manufacturing precision for optical filter pattern formation.
2Manufacturing precision
If laser or grinder is used to remove phase difference layer, then manufacturing precision can be improved, but reliability decreases due to difficulty in obtaining precise patterning and potential damage to the phase difference layer
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical removal methods (laser or grinder) with a chemical development process. After coating photoresist and exposing it through a mask, the invention uses a developer solution to chemically remove the exposed photoresist, forming the desired patterns. This substitution of mechanical/thermal methods with a chemical development process eliminates the risks of physical damage to the phase difference layer while achieving precise patterning through the mask-defined exposure areas.
3Ease of manufacture
If optical filter patterns are not precisely matched to display panel pixels, then ease of manufacture is improved, but loss of information increases due to high crosstalk rate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a mask that serves multiple functions: it defines both the optical filter patterns and ensures precise alignment with display panel pixels. The same mask used for photoresist exposure also determines the spatial relationship between optical filter patterns and pixels, enabling simultaneous achievement of manufacturing ease and precise pattern matching. This multi-functional mask approach eliminates the need for separate alignment processes while maintaining high image separation quality and reducing crosstalk.
