Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional 3D display technologies suffer from moire patterns due to light-emission discontinuity of pixels, primarily caused by linear and non-transparent source/drain metal lines, leading to periodic light shielding regions and discontinuous light emission.

Innovation Solution

A display substrate design that divides each sub-pixel into an upper and lower pixel aperture, with the second aperture region offset in the gate line direction relative to the first aperture region, allowing for continuous light emission by sharing a switch element, data line, and gate line, and arranging the data line in a folded manner to prevent crosstalk and ensure light continuity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a linear and non-transparent source/drain metal line is used in conventional pixel design, then the data line can effectively transmit signals, but periodic light shielding regions appear between pixels causing light-emission discontinuity and moire pattern

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission effectivenessVSAvoidlight shielding causing moire pattern
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides each sub-pixel into two separate aperture regions (first and second aperture regions) that are offset from each other in the gate line direction. This segmentation allows the data line to pass through one aperture region while the other aperture region compensates for the light blockage, ensuring continuous light emission across the pixel array and eliminating the periodic light shielding that causes moire patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the second aperture region is offset from the first aperture region by more than the width of the first aperture region, then light emission continuity is improved, but the sub-pixel area and offset distance increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight emission continuityVSAvoidsub-pixel area
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the offset distance between the first and second aperture regions to be less than or equal to the width of the first aperture region in the gate line direction. This parameter optimization ensures sufficient light emission continuity to prevent moire patterns while minimizing the additional area required, achieving a balance between light continuity and area efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the data line is arranged in a folded line form in the non-aperture region, then light continuity is maintained, but the data line length and routing complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight continuityVSAvoiddata line routing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the non-aperture region between the first and second aperture regions to route the data line in a folded configuration. By arranging the data line in this intermediate space rather than requiring it to pass directly through the aperture regions, the design maintains light continuity while accommodating the necessary signal routing with minimal additional complexity.
