Solution Overview

Problem

Display panels face issues such as increased circuit load due to parasitic capacitance between metal layers, leading to poor display quality and light leakage, which existing technologies have not adequately addressed.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a black color resistance layer between the first and second metal layers in the display panel, along with an insulating layer, to increase the distance between them and reduce coupling capacitance, while also blocking lateral light leakage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If the distance between the first metal layer and the second metal layer is reduced to improve integration, then the coupling capacitance between the metal layers increases, but this increases the circuit load and degrades display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintegration densityVSAvoidcoupling capacitance
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a black color resistance layer as an intermediary substance between the first metal layer and the second metal layer. This layer has high light absorption properties and acts as a mediator to reduce the coupling capacitance between the metal layers while maintaining compact integration, thereby solving the contradiction between integration density and capacitance reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Object-generated harmful factors

If the distance between the first metal layer and the second metal layer is increased to reduce coupling capacitance, then the circuit load decreases, but this increases the occupied area and reduces integration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoupling capacitanceVSAvoidoccupied area
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a thin film black color resistance layer that provides effective capacitance reduction through its light-absorbing properties without requiring large vertical distance. This thin film approach reduces coupling capacitance while maintaining compact area, resolving the contradiction between capacitance reduction and area minimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

3Object-generated harmful factors

If a conventional insulating layer is used between metal layers to reduce capacitance, then the dielectric property is limited, but this restricts the adjustable range of film thickness and reduces effectiveness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoupling capacitanceVSAvoidfilm thickness adjustment range
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from conventional insulating materials to black color resistance materials with high light absorption coefficients. This parameter change enables effective capacitance reduction across a wider range of film thicknesses, as the light-absorbing property remains effective even at very thin film levels, thereby expanding the adjustable range and improving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Manufacturing precision

If the metal layers are placed close together to improve resolution, then light leakage between layers increases, but this degrades display quality

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveresolutionVSAvoidlight leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the color property of the black color resistance layer, which has high light absorption across the visible spectrum. By changing from conventional insulating materials to black-colored light-absorbing materials, the layer effectively blocks light leakage between metal layers while maintaining close spacing for high resolution, thus resolving the contradiction between resolution and light leakage control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes
