Solution Overview

Problem

Large-size liquid crystal displays experience undesirable crosstalk phenomena due to instability in the common electrode, particularly when data lines are changed, resulting in poor voltage recovery to a reference voltage source.

Innovation Solution

The display panel incorporates a second common electrode with an enlarging part and support parts, including conductive metal balls, to enhance electrical connection and capacitive coupling, allowing for rapid and even potential distribution across the first common electrode, thereby improving voltage recovery.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If the common electrode uses traditional wiring structure, then the device complexity is low, but the voltage recovery speed is slow causing crosstalk

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage recovery speedVSAvoidelectrode structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The common electrode is segmented into multiple independent conductive structures (first common electrode on array substrate, second common electrode on color film substrate with enlarging part). This segmentation allows each electrode to be optimized independently for faster voltage recovery while reducing mutual interference that causes crosstalk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new spatial dimension by placing the second common electrode on the color film substrate rather than only on the array substrate. The enlarging part extends in the horizontal direction, creating a three-dimensional electrode configuration that accelerates potential distribution and voltage recovery.

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

2Manufacturing precision

If the line width of common electrode is reduced, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the electrical connection stability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveline width control precisionVSAvoidelectrical connection stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The second common electrode features non-uniform line width with an enlarging part having greater width than the wiring parts. This local quality variation provides high manufacturing precision for the narrow wiring parts while the enlarging part ensures stable electrical connection and rapid potential distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The enlarging part is pre-configured at specific positions where rapid potential distribution is needed. This preliminary structural arrangement ensures that when voltage changes occur, the electric field is already optimized for fast recovery without requiring real-time adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If the common electrode structure is simplified, then the ease of manufacture is improved, but the crosstalk phenomenon increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrode fabrication easeVSAvoidcrosstalk phenomenon
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The liquid crystal layer serves as an intermediary medium between the first and second common electrodes. The enlarged overlapping area between electrodes through the liquid crystal layer enhances capacitive coupling, enabling fast voltage recovery and reducing crosstalk while maintaining relatively simple manufacturing processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
