Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies, particularly liquid crystal display products with a double-cell structure, face challenges in enhancing transmittance, which is crucial for improving display effects.

Innovation Solution

A display module and device configuration that includes a backlight module, a light control cell, a display liquid crystal cell, a first polarizer, a second polarizer, and a composite optical film, where the light control cell is positioned between the backlight module and the display liquid crystal cell, and the composite optical film is configured to transmit P-polarized light and reflect S-polarized light, optimizing light utilization and transmittance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If a double-cell structure is used in liquid crystal display products, then the display contrast is improved, but the transmittance decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay contrastVSAvoidlight transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent recovers and reuses S-polarized light that would otherwise be lost. The composite optical film reflects S-polarized light back into the optical path, allowing it to be converted to P-polarized light by the liquid crystal cell and transmitted through the system, thereby recovering energy that would have been wasted

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

Solution Approach 2:

The composite optical film acts as an intermediary element between the light source and the display cell. It selectively reflects S-polarized light while transmitting P-polarized light, serving as a mediator that directs different polarization states along different paths to optimize both contrast and transmittance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
