Solution Overview

Problem

Existing double-vision display technologies face challenges in producing a color filter glass with a thickness of 100 µm, which is difficult to achieve in automatic mass production, especially when using liquid crystal displays with RGB sub-pixels, as it requires reducing the glass thickness significantly, making it impractical for efficient manufacturing.

Innovation Solution

A production method involving forming a slit grating on a glass substrate, attaching a transparent thin layer to create a cell structure, and patterning RGB sub-pixel columns on the surface opposite to the slit grating, using a glass or plastic film with a thickness of 70-200 µm, allowing for a double-vision display functionality while being compatible with existing LCD manufacturing processes and suitable for mass production.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If the glass thickness is reduced to 100 µm to achieve appropriate predetermined height, then the double-vision display performance is improved, but the ease of manufacture deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredetermined heightVSAvoidglass thickness reduction
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the color filter structure into two separate components: a standard-thickness color filter substrate and a separate slit grating plate. This segmentation allows each component to be manufactured independently with standard thicknesses, avoiding the need to produce fragile thin glass while maintaining the required predetermined height for double-vision display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces a spacing structure (such as a spacer layer or mounting structure) as an intermediary element between the color filter substrate and the slit grating plate. This intermediary maintains the precise predetermined height without requiring the glass itself to be thin, thus solving both the optical performance requirement and the manufacturing difficulty.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If the glass thickness is significantly reduced to achieve the predetermined height, then the display functionality is improved, but the productivity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredetermined heightVSAvoidmass production efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the color filter and slit grating into separate components with standard thicknesses, the invention enables parallel manufacturing processes. The color filter substrate can be produced using conventional LCD manufacturing lines while the slit grating plate can be manufactured separately, allowing both components to be produced efficiently at scale without the bottlenecks associated with thin glass production.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention performs preliminary actions by manufacturing the color filter substrate and slit grating plate separately using standard thicknesses before final assembly. This approach allows each component to be optimized and pre-manufactured using established mass production techniques, improving overall productivity compared to attempting to produce a single integrated thin glass structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If the glass thickness is reduced to 100 µm, then the crosstalk area is reduced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredetermined heightVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention segments the optical system into a color filter substrate layer and a separate slit grating plate, each with standard thickness. This segmentation simplifies the manufacturing of individual components while the predetermined height between layers controls the optical performance and crosstalk characteristics, effectively managing device complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
