Solution Overview

Problem

Large-sized liquid crystal television products face challenges in achieving high resolution and transmittance due to significant differences in aperture ratios of red, green, and blue sub-pixels, requiring accurate color capture (ACC) adjustments that result in substantial transmittance loss.

Innovation Solution

The array substrate design includes sub-pixel regions of different sizes in the first direction, with a size ratio ranging from 1 to 2, allowing the display apparatus to meet white balance requirements without ACC adjustment, thereby improving transmittance by at least 10%.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If ACC adjustment is performed to meet white balance requirements, then color accuracy is improved, but transmittance loss increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewhite balance accuracyVSAvoidtransmittance loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-designing sub-pixels with different sizes in the first direction during manufacturing, so that the aperture ratios of red, green, and blue sub-pixels are inherently different. This preliminary structural design allows the display to meet white balance requirements without requiring subsequent ACC adjustment, thereby avoiding transmittance loss that would occur if ACC adjustment were performed after manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of energy

If sub-pixel regions have different sizes in the first direction, then transmittance is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovetransmittanceVSAvoidsub-pixel size control
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying the size of sub-pixel regions in the first direction within a controlled range (size ratio from 1 to 2). By establishing specific size relationships between different color sub-pixels (e.g., green sub-pixel larger than red and blue sub-pixels), the design achieves improved transmittance while keeping manufacturing precision requirements manageable through defined parameter ranges rather than requiring absolute precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of manufacture

If aperture ratios of red, green, and blue sub-pixels are made equal, then manufacturing is simplified, but white balance and transmittance performance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesub-pixel fabrication simplicityVSAvoidtransmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the display (different color sub-pixels) have different properties - specifically, different sizes in the first direction. The green sub-pixels are designed with larger dimensions than red and blue sub-pixels, creating localized size variations that optimize transmittance and white balance performance while maintaining overall manufacturing simplicity through a systematic design approach.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
