Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display panels have complex structures due to the need for a diffusion sheet, which reduces light transmittance and increases power consumption, and suffer from cross-color issues due to the presence of black matrices.

Innovation Solution

A display panel with a diffusion particle layer containing a transparent medium and photosensitive polymeric monomers that polymerize upon light exposure to scatter light, eliminating the need for a diffusion sheet and incorporating a color filtering layer without black matrices to enhance light transmittance and prevent cross-color.
