Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid crystal display panels in the ADS mode face issues with greenish screen defects due to silver adhesive permeation, causing black matrix electrification and reduced yield, as the adhesive exceeds isolation regions during curing.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design incorporating a blocking structure between the array and opposite substrates to prevent conductive adhesive overflow, using isolation trenches and a blocking structure to confine the adhesive within specific regions, thereby preventing black matrix electrification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conductive adhesive is used to connect ground terminal with transparent conductive layer, then electrical connection is achieved, but adhesive may overflow into first part region causing black matrix electrification and greenish screen defects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connection reliabilityVSAvoidadhesive overflow causing black matrix electrification
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The black matrix is segmented into first part and second part separated by an isolation trench. The isolation trench acts as a physical barrier that divides the black matrix into distinct regions, preventing conductive adhesive from the bonding area from overflowing into the first part region and causing electrification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The isolation trench serves as an intermediary structure between the bonding area and the first part of the black matrix. This intermediate barrier structure blocks the path of conductive adhesive, allowing electrical connection to be maintained in the bonding area while preventing adhesive contamination of the first part.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-affected harmful factors
