Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If conventional pixel structures are used with trapezoid aperture shapes, then the display device can achieve plural-viewpoint functionality, but the numerical aperture cannot be improved due to inefficient wiring and transistor arrangement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by intentionally designing the aperture shape as a trapezoid rather than a symmetric shape. This asymmetric aperture configuration, combined with specific wiring arrangements, enables the achievement of high numerical aperture while maintaining consistent aperture shapes across the display panel for plural-viewpoint display functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent resolves the wiring arrangement complexity by transitioning to a different dimensional approach in the pixel structure design. By reorganizing the spatial arrangement of wirings and transistors in the pixel unit, the invention achieves efficient packing that improves numerical aperture without compromising aperture shape consistency
2Manufacturing precision
If thin film transistors are arranged densely to improve numerical aperture, then the display quality improves, but abnormal liquid crystal molecule alignment occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by optimizing the wiring and transistor arrangement specifically within each pixel unit to achieve dense packing for high numerical aperture. Simultaneously, the design ensures that this dense arrangement does not interfere with liquid crystal molecule alignment, thereby maintaining display reliability while improving aperture performance
3Manufacturing precision
If wirings are arranged efficiently to improve numerical aperture, then the aperture shape consistency is maintained, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the display into pixel units with specific internal wiring arrangements. Each pixel unit is designed with segmented components (wirings and transistors) arranged in a optimized pattern that maintains aperture shape consistency while managing the complexity through modular design
