Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional LCD panels experience mura phenomenon and increased power consumption due to crosstalk effects caused by insufficient response time of sub-pixels when displaying high-resolution images, particularly with alternate black and white patterns.

Innovation Solution

The LCD panel is designed with a sub-pixel array where odd and even rows are connected to odd and even-numbered data lines, respectively, and uses a column-inversion or dot-inversion driving method to neutralize voltage coupling effects, reducing the number of data driving chips and eliminating crosstalk.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the number of data lines is reduced to decrease the number of data driving chips, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but the response time of sub-pixels becomes insufficient leading to crosstalk effect and mura phenomenon

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing costVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the data lines into two separate groups: first data lines connected to even-numbered gate lines and second data lines connected to odd-numbered gate lines. This segmentation allows independent control and optimization of each group, enabling reduced overall data line count while maintaining adequate response time for each sub-pixel group.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention introduces a new dimension of control by separating data line connections based on gate line parity (odd/even). This dimensional reorganization allows the system to achieve both cost reduction through fewer data driving chips and performance maintenance through differentiated timing control for different data line groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Manufacturing precision

If the turn-on time of each scan line is reduced to meet high resolution requirements, then display resolution is improved, but the response time becomes insufficient causing crosstalk effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention implements dynamic control by applying different timing sequences to different data line groups. The first data lines (even columns) and second data lines (odd columns) receive data signals at different times, allowing the system to adaptively manage the trade-off between resolution and response time for different regions of the display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The invention uses preliminary action by pre-charging or pre-positioning liquid crystal molecules in anticipation of the incoming data signal. This preliminary preparation allows the liquid crystal to respond faster when the actual switching signal arrives, effectively compensating for the reduced turn-on time required for high resolution displays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A liquid crystal display panel includes a sub-pixel array, a plurality of scan lines, and a plurality of data lines. The sub-pixel array has a plurality of sub-pixels arranged in array. Any two neighboring scan lines of the scan lines and a row of the sub-pixels disposed between the two neighboring scan liens are electrically connected. The sub-pixels arranged in odd rows are electrically connected to the odd-numbered data lines, and the sub-pixels arranged in even rows are electrically connected to the even-numbered data lines. Thus, the liquid crystal display panel is able to reduce mura phenomenon through the above-mentioned layout. A driving method of the above-mentioned liquid crystal display panel is also provided.
