Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the liquid crystal material by introducing specific compounds with fluorine atoms at terminal positions (compounds of formula (1) and (2)). This parameter change modifies the liquid crystal's interaction with impurities from the color filter layer, preventing impurity-induced display defects while maintaining normal display functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite liquid crystal composition containing multiple specific compounds: compounds of formula (1) with fluorine-terminal groups, compounds of formula (2) with specific molecular structures, and compounds of formula (3) as additives. This composite material approach creates synergistic effects that enhance impurity resistance while maintaining display performance.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical parameters of the liquid crystal material to include compounds with fluorine-terminal groups (formula (1)) and specific molecular structures (formula (2)). These parameter changes create a liquid crystal composition that is chemically resistant to impurity migration through thin alignment films and transparent electrodes, effectively isolating the liquid crystal layer from color filter impurities without increasing layer thickness.
