Solution Overview
Problem
Existing liquid-crystal display devices face challenges with heat dissipation and image quality due to potential light interference between the transparent heat-transfer member and the liquid-crystal panel, leading to decreased performance.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a light-diffusion structure between the liquid-crystal panel and the heat-transfer member in the display system, which reduces light interference and maintains effective heat dissipation by preventing close contact, thereby improving both heat dissipation and image quality.

1Temperature
If the transparent member is in contact with the transmissive surface of the liquid-crystal panel, then heat dissipation is improved, but light interference occurs causing image quality to decrease
Solution Approach 1:
A light-diffusion structure is introduced as an intermediary component between the transparent heat-transfer member and the liquid-crystal panel. This mediator prevents direct contact while allowing thermal conduction, thereby eliminating light interference pathways that would otherwise degrade image quality while maintaining effective heat dissipation from the central regions of the panel.
Solution Approach 2:
The contact interface between the transparent member and liquid-crystal panel is segmented by introducing the light-diffusion structure. This segmentation breaks the continuous optical path that causes interference, while maintaining thermal coupling through the diffusion structure's material properties and geometric design.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the transparent member is separated from the liquid-crystal panel, then light interference is reduced, but heat dissipation efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The light-diffusion structure serves as a thermal mediator that bridges the gap between the separated transparent member and liquid-crystal panel. It provides a controlled thermal conduction path while maintaining optical isolation, thus preserving heat dissipation efficiency without requiring direct physical contact that would cause light interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The thermal and optical parameters of the interface are changed by introducing the light-diffusion structure. The structure's material composition, thickness, and geometric configuration are optimized to achieve high thermal conductivity while maintaining optical diffusion properties that prevent interference patterns.
