Problem

Liquid crystal display devices face issues such as white spots, alignment unevenness, and image sticking due to impurities in the color filter layer affecting the voltage holding ratio and ion density of the liquid crystal layer, which existing methods have not adequately addressed.

Innovation Solution

A liquid crystal display device utilizing a specified liquid crystal composition and color filter with specific dyes and pigments, including diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment, halogenated copper phthalocyanine pigment, and anionic/cationic organic dyes, to prevent decreases in voltage holding ratio and ion density, thereby resolving display defects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the thickness of the alignment film and transparent electrode is reduced to achieve better isolation, then the direct influence of color filter layer impurities on the liquid crystal layer is minimized, but the voltage holding ratio decreases and ion density increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpurity influence from color filter layerVSAvoidvoltage holding ratio
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the liquid crystal material by introducing specific compounds (compounds of formula (1) and compounds of formula (2)) with particular molecular structures containing fluorine atoms and specific functional groups. This chemical parameter change enables the liquid crystal to resist impurity influence while maintaining voltage holding ratio and reducing ion density, resolving the contradiction between isolation effectiveness and electrical performance.

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional liquid crystal compositions are used with color filter layers, then manufacturing is simpler, but display defects such as white spots, alignment unevenness, and image sticking occur due to impurity effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoiddisplay quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a composite liquid crystal composition combining multiple components: compounds of formula (1) as main liquid crystal material, compounds of formula (2) as additives, and optional compounds of formula (3). This composite material approach maintains manufacturing simplicity while achieving high display quality by preventing impurity-induced defects through the synergistic effects of the composite composition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Quantity of substance

If impurities in the color filter layer are reduced by purifying pigments, then the direct effect on liquid crystal layer is minimized, but the voltage holding ratio still decreases and ion density increases due to the thin structure of alignment film and electrode

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimpurity concentration in pigmentVSAvoidvoltage holding ratio
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces compounds of formula (1) and (2) as intermediary substances between the color filter layer and the liquid crystal layer. These compounds act as mediators that prevent direct interaction between impurities in the color filter layer and the liquid crystal layer, while maintaining proper electrical characteristics. The intermediary compounds form a protective interface that blocks impurity diffusion without compromising voltage holding ratio.
