Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LCDs experience a bright and dark line phenomenon due to grayscale differences between subpixel groups during positive and negative frame conversion, leading to display quality issues.

Innovation Solution

The display panel incorporates alternately arranged first and second subpixel groups connected to different voltage dividing signal lines, allowing for electrical compensation and adjustment of grayscale values by using alternating current signals, thereby reducing the grayscale difference between high and low potentials.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If conventional LCDs use backlit modules with liquid crystal panels for high image quality and power saving, then display performance is improved, but bright and dark line phenomena occur during positive and negative frame conversion due to grayscale differences between adjacent subpixel groups

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the voltage signal into multiple segments using different voltage dividing signal lines (first and second voltage dividing signal lines) for different subpixel groups. By segmenting the voltage supply and applying different voltage dividing signals to adjacent subpixel groups, the patent eliminates the grayscale difference that causes bright and dark line phenomena during frame conversion, while maintaining high display image quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If driving polarities of adjacent subpixel groups are made opposite for normal operation, then liquid crystal control function is achieved, but grayscale differences cause bright and dark line phenomena during frame conversion

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies different voltage dividing signals locally to different subpixel groups. Specifically, first voltage dividing signal lines are used for first subpixel groups while second voltage dividing signal lines are used for second subpixel groups. This local differentiation in voltage signal application maintains the necessary opposite driving polarities for liquid crystal control while compensating for grayscale differences, thereby eliminating bright and dark line phenomena.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the voltage signal parameters by introducing different voltage dividing signals (first and second voltage dividing signals) for different subpixel groups. By adjusting and differentiating these voltage parameters, the patent achieves both the required opposite driving polarities for liquid crystal operation and the grayscale uniformity needed to prevent bright and dark line phenomena during frame conversion.
