Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panels suffer from yellow discolouration due to low transmittance in the blue pixel region, leading to poor picture quality.

Innovation Solution

The display panel design includes a second substrate with a color resist layer comprising first, second, and third color resists, where the thickness of the third color resist is less than the first or second color resist, increasing the thickness of the liquid crystal cell to enhance transmittance and improve blue light brightness, thereby solving yellow discolouration issues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the thickness of the third color resist is the same as the first and second color resists, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the transmittance of blue pixels is low causing yellow discolouration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing process simplicityVSAvoidblue pixel transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by making the thickness of the third color resist (blue pixel region) different from the first and second color resists (red and green pixel regions). Specifically, the third color resist is made thinner to increase blue light transmittance, while maintaining uniform thickness for the other color resists. This localized variation in thickness resolves the contradiction by improving blue pixel brightness without complicating the overall manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Illumination intensity

If the thickness of the third color resist is reduced to increase blue light transmittance, then the transmittance improves, but the color uniformity may be affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblue light transmittanceVSAvoidcolor uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent carefully controls which regions have different thickness characteristics. Only the third color resist (blue pixel region) has reduced thickness, while the first and second color resists maintain their original thickness. This selective local modification ensures that color uniformity is preserved in the red and green regions while improving blue light transmittance where needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the thickness parameter of the third color resist specifically to optimize blue light transmittance. By adjusting this physical parameter locally in the blue pixel region while keeping other parameters unchanged, the patent achieves improved transmittance without disrupting the overall color balance and uniformity of the display panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Illumination intensity

If the liquid crystal cell thickness is increased to enhance transmittance, then the blue light brightness improves, but the overall device thickness increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveblue light brightnessVSAvoiddevice thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent achieves the goal of enhancing blue light brightness without increasing overall device thickness by applying local quality modification. Instead of uniformly increasing the liquid crystal cell thickness across all pixels, the patent selectively adjusts the color resist thickness in the blue pixel region. This localized approach improves blue light transmittance while maintaining the original overall device thickness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
