Problem

Display devices exhibit blemishes and differences in reflective color tone around the edges due to high-temperature or high-humidity environments, and existing technologies fail to address these issues effectively.

Innovation Solution

A display device design that uses a color filter composition including a dye and a pigment for red and green emitting elements, without a polarizer, to control viewing angle and improve reflectivity and visibility, while using a unified material for red and green color filters to enhance brightness and longevity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a polarizer is used to achieve blackness and reduce external light reflection, then visibility is improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovevisibilityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the polarizer from the display device structure entirely. Instead of using a polarizer to control light reflection and improve visibility, the invention uses a color filter layer with specific optical properties that achieves the same visual效果 without the additional component, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining visibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies a color filter layer with specific local optical properties (high reflectivity in certain wavelengths) to achieve the visual enhancement function that would otherwise require a polarizer. This localized functional approach replaces the global polarizer component with a targeted color filter solution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional color filters are used in high-temperature or high-humidity environments, then manufacturing is simplified, but blemishes and reflective color tone differences occur around the edges

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of manufactureVSAvoiduniformity of luminance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the color filter by using a dye without a central metal atom instead of conventional metal-complex dyes. This parameter change makes the color filter resistant to light-induced chemical reactions in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, preventing edge blemishes and maintaining uniform luminance while keeping the manufacturing process simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite color filter material consisting of a dye and a pigment, where the dye provides coloration without metal atoms and the pigment enhances stability. This composite material approach maintains ease of manufacture while significantly improving reliability and uniformity in challenging environmental conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Illumination intensity

If the emission area is increased to provide high brightness, then illumination intensity is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovebrightnessVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a color filter with high reflectivity properties that reflects ambient light to enhance display brightness. By utilizing reflected light rather than solely relying on emitted light, the system achieves high brightness perception while reducing the power required from the light-emitting elements, thus improving brightness efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes
