Solution Overview

Problem

Current liquid crystal display (LCD) panels experience non-uniformity in display frames due to inconsistencies in RC delay across individual scanning lines, leading to issues with flicker and crosstalk, especially when using Dot Inversion Driving techniques.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a novel LCD panel structure where at least two scanning lines are electrically connected, and conductive sections are disposed above other scanning lines to increase wiring capacitance, ensuring consistent RC delay across all scanning lines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If Dot Inversion Driving is used to improve display quality, then flicker and crosstalk are reduced, but power consumption increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different polarity patterns to different regions (rows) of the display panel. Specifically, odd-numbered rows use one polarity sequence while even-numbered rows use the opposite polarity sequence, allowing local optimization that reduces both crosstalk and power consumption compared to uniform Dot Inversion across the entire panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The display panel is divided into multiple scanning lines or rows, each capable of independent polarity control. This segmentation allows the application of Row Inversion or modified polarity schemes to individual rows, reducing the overall power consumption while maintaining display quality through localized polarity management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Use of energy by moving object

If Row Inversion Driving is used to reduce power consumption, then power consumption decreases compared to Dot Inversion, but horizontal crosstalk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepower consumptionVSAvoidhorizontal crosstalk
Core Design Contradiction:
Use of energy by moving objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements different polarity inversion schemes for different row groups. By carefully designing which rows are inverted and in what sequence, the patent reduces horizontal crosstalk within specific row regions while maintaining the overall power savings of Row Inversion driving.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If Frame Inversion Driving is used to simplify the driving scheme, then the driving technique is easier to implement, but display uniformity deteriorates due to flicker

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving technique simplicityVSAvoiddisplay uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display panel into multiple scanning lines with independent polarity control. This segmentation enables more sophisticated polarity management schemes that can maintain display uniformity across the entire panel while still keeping the driving complexity manageable through systematic polarity assignment rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
