Solution Overview

Problem

Current 3D display technologies face challenges in reducing moire patterns and improving display efficiency, especially for large-size products, due to high coupling capacitance and manufacturing costs associated with organic film processes, which limit the applicability and productivity of glasses-free 3D displays.

Innovation Solution

The design of a display substrate with bent signal lines and common electrode strips arranged in blocks, reducing vertical overlap and coupling capacitance without the need for organic films, along with the use of shade strips and pixel electrodes with slanted dark spots to minimize light leakage and enhance aperture ratio.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If thick organic films are used to reduce coupling capacitance between common electrode strips and signal lines, then coupling capacitance is reduced, but manufacturing cost increases and large-size display production is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoupling capacitance reductionVSAvoidmanufacturing cost and large-size production capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The common electrode strip is segmented into multiple common electrode blocks with slits between them. This segmentation reduces the overlapping area with signal lines, thereby reducing coupling capacitance without requiring thick organic films, enabling cost-effective large-size display production

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The signal line is designed with a bent shape instead of a straight line, changing its spatial arrangement to reduce vertical overlap with common electrode strips. This dimensional rearrangement reduces coupling capacitance while maintaining electrical functionality and enabling standard manufacturing processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If common electrode strips are designed to reduce coupling capacitance, then coupling capacitance is reduced, but aperture ratio and light efficiency decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecoupling capacitanceVSAvoidaperture ratio and light efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Slits are selectively positioned in the common electrode strip at locations where signal lines bend and overlap occurs. This localized modification reduces coupling capacitance only where needed, while maintaining the integrity and light-transmitting properties of the majority of the common electrode structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The signal line is designed with a bent shape that follows the contour of the common electrode blocks, allowing it to navigate around the slits while maintaining optimal electrical connection and minimizing impact on aperture ratio and light efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)
