Liquid Crystal Display Device Adjusting Hole for Filling Error Correction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The liquid crystal dropping method for large-scale substrates faces challenges in accurately calculating the quantity of liquid crystals, leading to insufficient or excessive filling, which results in manufacturing inefficiencies and discarded panels due to the inability to correct filling errors.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the formation of holes in the liquid crystal cell to adjust the liquid crystal quantity, where excessive filling is externally discharged and insufficient filling is injected, with the holes subsequently blocked using a filler to prevent further issues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the liquid crystal dropping method is used for large-scale substrates, then manufacturing productivity is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to difficulty in calculating proper liquid crystal quantity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a liquid crystal quantity adjusting hole before final assembly, allowing preliminary adjustment of liquid crystal quantity. This enables correction of quantity errors that occur during the dropping process, thereby maintaining both high productivity and precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the physical state of the liquid crystal cell by creating an opening (adjusting hole) that allows modification of liquid crystal quantity parameters. This enables post-manufacturing adjustment of the liquid crystal volume to achieve precise filling.
2Ease of manufacture
If liquid crystal quantity is calculated based on cell size and height, then the process is simple, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to various factors affecting accuracy
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the liquid crystal cell to self-correct quantity errors through the adjusting hole. The cell structure itself provides the means for correction, eliminating the need for complex external calculation and adjustment systems.
3Manufacturing precision
If insufficient or excessive liquid crystal filling occurs, then manufacturing precision is compromised, but productivity deteriorates because the panel must be discarded with no correction method available
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting hole is prepared in advance before final sealing, allowing preliminary adjustment of liquid crystal quantity. This prevents the need to discard panels with filling errors, thereby maintaining both precision and productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of discarding panels with filling errors, the patent recovers them by providing a correction mechanism (adjusting hole) that allows re-adjustment of liquid crystal quantity, thereby converting waste into usable products.
