Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A protective layer is pre-formed on the black matrix at the laser incidence region before laser repair is performed. This protective layer absorbs the high-intensity laser energy, preventing the laser from penetrating through and creating holes in the black matrix, thereby eliminating light leakage while maintaining repair effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The protective layer acts as an intermediary between the laser and the black matrix. It intercepts and absorbs the laser energy, serving as a buffer that protects the black matrix from direct laser impact while allowing the laser repair process to proceed effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
