Display Subpixel Electrode Configuration for Luminance Uniformity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices face challenges in achieving uniform luminance across different pixel locations due to variations in the number of light-emitting elements and electrode configurations within subpixels.
Innovation Solution
A display device is designed with subpixels having different electrode configurations and a specific arrangement of first-type and second-type subpixels, where the second-type subpixels have a different number of electrodes, allowing for more light-emitting elements per unit area and fewer electrodes in the emission area compared to the first-type subpixels.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If subpixels have different electrode configurations and numbers of light-emitting elements, then luminance uniformity across display areas is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by configuring different electrode arrangements and light-emitting element densities in different display areas (first display area vs. second display area). Specifically, subpixels in the first display area have a first electrode configuration with a certain number of light-emitting elements, while subpixels in the second display area have a second electrode configuration with a different number of light-emitting elements. This localized differentiation allows each area to be optimized for its specific luminance requirements, achieving overall luminance uniformity across the display while managing complexity through targeted rather than universal design changes.
2Illumination intensity
If more light-emitting elements are placed per unit area, then luminance output is improved, but manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the display into multiple display areas (first display area, second display area, and potentially third display area), each with its own electrode configuration and light-emitting element density. Instead of uniformly increasing light-emitting elements across the entire display, the invention segments the display into zones where higher density is applied only where needed to achieve luminance uniformity. This segmentation reduces the overall manufacturing precision burden compared to a uniform high-density design, as each segment can be optimized independently with precision requirements matched to its specific luminance targets.
