Solution Overview

Problem

Ultra-narrow bezel liquid crystal display panels suffer from poor display quality due to green light emission during a grayscale of 0 (L0) screen, caused by charge accumulation and electromotive forces, leading to greening issues.

Innovation Solution

A color filter substrate with a base substrate, a color filter layer comprising periodically arranged photoresist units and a black matrix layer with light transmitting windows, where the color filter layer includes filling parts matching the thickness and material of the photoresist units, reducing charge transfer and electromotive forces, and a supporting pillar for uniform cell thickness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If ultra-narrow bezel design is implemented, then the screen-to-body ratio is improved, but green light emission occurs during L0 screen display

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescreen-to-body ratioVSAvoidgreen light emission
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the harmful charge accumulation from the system by providing a charge release structure (filling part with different material properties) that allows accumulated charges to be released, thereby eliminating the green light emission problem while maintaining the ultra-narrow bezel design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the material parameters of the filling part to have different charge holding properties compared to the surrounding photoresist units, creating a charge release pathway that prevents charge accumulation and subsequent green light emission during L0 display

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Length of moving object

If sealing area is reduced to less than 0.5 mm, then the bezel width is reduced, but charge accumulation and electromotive forces increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebezel widthVSAvoidcharge accumulation
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a filling part as an intermediary element between the color photoresist units that serves as a charge release pathway, mediating the charge accumulation problem caused by the reduced sealing area and preventing harmful electromotive forces

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Device complexity

If color filter layer structure is simplified, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but charge accumulation problems worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing complexityVSAvoidcharge accumulation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the charge release function with the existing color filter layer structure by integrating the filling part into the same layer, achieving charge release functionality without adding separate complex structures or manufacturing steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
