Solution Overview

Problem

Current anti-view technologies in display devices reduce luminance efficiency due to the presence of anti-view sub-pixels, which interfere with normal display pixels, resulting in decreased brightness and efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design that includes a substrate with pixel units and an anti-view unit comprising a reflective layer, an anti-view light-emitting device, and an anti-view light-shielding layer, where the light-emitting layer of the anti-view device overlaps with the reflective layer, allowing for controlled light emission to enhance brightness and efficiency during anti-view displays.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If anti-view sub-pixels are arranged in the display to interfere with normal display pixels, then anti-view functionality is achieved, but luminance efficiency is seriously reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel segments the pixel structure into display pixels and anti-view pixels, with each serving distinct functions. The anti-view pixels are further segmented into reflective layers, light-emitting layers, and light-shielding layers, allowing independent control of anti-view and display functions to maintain luminance efficiency while achieving anti-view capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the anti-view pixel structure are assigned different optical properties: the reflective layer has high reflectivity, the light-emitting layer has specific emission characteristics, and the light-shielding layer has light-blocking properties. This local differentiation allows the anti-view function to be achieved without compromising the luminance efficiency of display pixels

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If anti-view sub-pixels are arranged to interfere with display pixels, then anti-view capability is achieved, but display brightness is decreased

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of using light-absorbing or light-blocking materials traditionally, the patent uses a reflective layer that mirrors the structure of display pixels. This inverted approach allows the anti-view pixels to reflect light rather than absorb it, maintaining display brightness while achieving anti-view capability through structural interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

Solution Approach 2:

The anti-view pixel structure copies the basic organizational structure of display pixels but uses different material properties (reflective vs. emissive). This copying approach allows the anti-view function to be integrated without significantly altering the overall display brightness characteristics

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
