Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices experience a shift in white point due to light color changes caused by layer materials, affecting display quality.

Innovation Solution

A color filter substrate with a specific arrangement of color resists, including a third color resist covering first and second color resists, to adjust light b* values and alleviate yellow shift, while reducing areas of first and second resists to enhance brightness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If the areas of the first color resist and second color resist are reduced, then brightness is improved and yellow shift is alleviated, but color filter coverage is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidcolor filter coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the first color resist and second color resist into a single third color resist that covers both regions. This consolidation maintains color filter coverage while reducing the total area of color resists, thereby improving brightness and alleviating yellow shift without sacrificing coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The third color resist serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides color filtering for both the first and second sub-pixel regions, maintains overall color filter coverage, and reduces the total resist area to improve brightness and reduce yellow shift. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction between coverage and brightness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Manufacturing precision

If the third color resist covers the first and second color resists, then yellow shift is alleviated by adjusting b* value, but device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor accuracyVSAvoidcolor resist structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

By merging the first and second color resists into a single third color resist that covers both regions, the patent simplifies the overall structure while achieving the desired color accuracy improvement. The third color resist is positioned to cover both sub-pixel regions, providing a unified solution that reduces structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Manufacturing precision

If color resists are used to adjust light color, then white point yellow shift is caused, but display quality is improved through color filtering

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor filtering performanceVSAvoidyellow shift
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by positioning the third color resist specifically in the first sub-pixel region and second sub-pixel region to provide localized color filtering. This targeted approach allows precise control over color filtering performance in specific areas while minimizing the harmful yellow shift effect through optimized resist placement and area reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
