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, which affects the uniformity and clarity of the display.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating a light-diffusion structure between the liquid-crystal panel and the heat-transfer member, which prevents close contact and reduces light interference, while maintaining effective heat dissipation through a heat sink and a light-transmissive heat-transfer member.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Temperature
If the transparent member is in contact with the transmissive surface of the liquid-crystal panel to transfer heat, then heat dissipation is improved, but light interference occurs causing decrease in image quality
Solution Approach 1:
A light-diffusion structure is introduced as an intermediary element between the transparent heat-transfer member and the liquid-crystal panel. This mediator prevents direct contact between the transparent member and the transmissive surface, thereby eliminating light interference while still enabling effective heat transfer from the liquid-crystal panel to the heat sink through the transparent member.
2Temperature
If the transparent member covers the central parts of the transmissive surfaces to transfer heat, then heat dissipation from central parts is improved, but contact causes light interference
Solution Approach 1:
The light-diffusion structure serves as a mediator that allows the transparent heat-transfer member to cover and contact the liquid-crystal panel for effective heat transfer from central parts, while simultaneously preventing light interference by diffusing light before it reaches the transparent member.
3Temperature
If the transparent member has high thermal conductivity to improve heat transfer, then heat dissipation is improved, but light interference from contact increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light-diffusion structure is positioned between the high thermal conductivity transparent member and the liquid-crystal panel, enabling the transparent member to maintain its high thermal conductivity for efficient heat transfer while the light-diffusion structure prevents light interference caused by contact.
