VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the blue pixel unit uses the same color resist material as red and green pixel units, then the manufacturing process is simplified, but the light transmittance of blue pixel units is lower causing yellowish display screen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidblue light transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using different color resist materials with distinct light transmittance characteristics for different pixel types. Specifically, the blue pixel unit employs a third color resist material with lower light transmittance compared to the first and second color resist materials used in red and green pixel units. This localized material differentiation allows each pixel type to have optimized optical properties, thereby improving blue light transmittance and preventing yellowish display while maintaining overall manufacturing feasibility through a systematic approach.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by systematically varying the light transmittance parameter of the color resist materials across different pixel regions. The third color resist material in blue pixel units has a specifically controlled lower light transmittance parameter compared to other pixel types. This parameter differentiation enables precise color reproduction and accuracy while the overall design ensures that light transmittance differences between regions remain manageable, achieving a balance between color accuracy and display uniformity.
