Solution Overview

Problem

Curved surface display panels face issues with non-uniform display brightness due to misalignment between substrates, leading to color mixture and light leakage, which are exacerbated by non-equal-interval pixel units designed to address misalignment, resulting in uneven pixel distribution density.

Innovation Solution

A curved surface display panel with a color film substrate featuring pixel units whose intervals and widths decrease along the curvature, ensuring uniform aperture ratios and pixel density across the panel, thereby maintaining consistent brightness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If non-equal-interval pixel units are used to balance substrate bending degrees, then misalignment between substrates is reduced, but display brightness becomes non-uniform

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate alignmentVSAvoiddisplay brightness uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the pixel array have different interval characteristics. Specifically, pixel units in the first array have equal intervals while pixel units in the second array have non-equal intervals, allowing each region to be optimized for its specific function (alignment vs. brightness uniformity).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the pixel array into two distinct groups: a first array with equal-interval pixel units and a second array with non-equal interval pixel units. This segmentation allows the system to simultaneously achieve substrate alignment (through the non-equal interval array) and display brightness uniformity (through the equal interval array).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Illumination intensity

If equal-interval pixel units are used, then display brightness remains uniform, but misalignment between substrates increases causing color mixture and light leakage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay brightness uniformityVSAvoidsubstrate alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the interval parameter of pixel units based on their position and function. By adjusting the interval parameter from equal to non-equal in different arrays, the system can optimize for either brightness uniformity or substrate alignment depending on the specific requirements of each pixel unit group.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If non-equal-interval pixel units are used to address misalignment, then substrate alignment improves, but pixel distribution density becomes uneven

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesubstrate alignmentVSAvoidpixel distribution density
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the pixel array into two distinct groups: a first array with equal-interval pixel units that maintain uniform pixel distribution density, and a second array with non-equal interval pixel units that achieve substrate alignment. This segmentation allows both requirements to be satisfied simultaneously in different regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by making different parts of the pixel array have different interval characteristics. Specifically, pixel units in the first array have equal intervals to maintain uniform pixel distribution, while pixel units in the second array have non-equal intervals to achieve substrate alignment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
