Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple region arrangement of liquid crystal molecules is used to enhance visual range, then visual angle is improved, but penetration rate decreases and color shift occurs at large viewing angles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual rangeVSAvoidpenetration rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by dividing the pixel into multiple transparent areas (first, second, and third transparent areas) with different liquid crystal materials having different penetration rates. Each transparent area has a specific liquid crystal material assigned to it based on its position and function, creating local variations in optical properties to compensate for color shift while maintaining overall visual range enhancement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple region arrangement of liquid crystal molecules is used to enhance visual range, then visual angle is improved, but grayscale whitening appears at large viewing angles

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of liquid crystal material penetration rate across different transparent areas. By selecting liquid crystal materials with different penetration rates for the first, second, and third transparent areas, the system optimizes light transmission characteristics to reduce grayscale whitening at large viewing angles while preserving the wide visual angle benefits of the multi-region arrangement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Object-affected harmful factors

If liquid crystal materials with different penetration rates are used in different transparent areas, then color shift is suppressed, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the pixel into multiple transparent areas (first, second, and third transparent areas) that can be independently filled with different liquid crystal materials. This segmentation allows for targeted optimization of color shift compensation in different regions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure that can be manufactured using conventional processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
