Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display assemblies using delta pixels combined with slit gratings for naked eye 3D display suffer from serious moiré fringe phenomena, which negatively impact the display effect.

Innovation Solution

A 3D display assembly with a grating on the light output side of the display panel, where sub-pixels are arranged in columns with alternating first and second sub-pixel groups, and light-shielding parts are misaligned to reduce moiré fringes by creating an inclination effect without increasing crosstalk.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If delta pixels are combined with slit gratings to realize naked eye 3D display, then low crosstalk and strong 3-D percept are achieved, but serious moiré fringe phenomenon occurs which affects the display effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improve3D display qualityVSAvoidmoiré fringe phenomenon
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces asymmetric displacement between adjacent sub-pixel groups in different columns. Specifically, sub-pixels in adjacent columns are offset by a displacement amount in the column direction, breaking the symmetric periodic structure that causes moiré fringes. This asymmetric arrangement maintains the 3D display function while eliminating the harmful interference patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

Solution Approach 2:

The patent addresses the moiré fringe problem by introducing a displacement in the column direction (first direction), which is perpendicular to the traditional row-direction arrangement. This dimensional change in the sub-pixel layout disrupts the periodic interference pattern while preserving the 3D viewing effect through the grating structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If sub-pixels are arranged in columns with alternating first and second sub-pixel groups, then moiré fringes are reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemoiré fringe phenomenonVSAvoidsub-pixel arrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the sub-pixels into distinct first sub-pixel groups and second sub-pixel groups that are alternately arranged in columns. Each group is further segmented by introducing a displacement between adjacent columns. This segmentation approach systematically reduces moiré fringes while maintaining a structured, manufacturable pattern through repetitive unit cell design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
