Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current liquid crystal panel pixel arrangements lack flexibility, particularly when the ends of scanning lines need to be at different heights, limiting the precision and engagement of pixel cells.
Innovation Solution
The design includes pixel cells with pixel electrodes connecting to parallel and spaced data lines, arranged symmetrically along an axis, with ports at intersections not on the same horizontal line, and featuring different thin film transistors and transparent areas between electrode areas, allowing precise engagement and enhanced flexibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If pixel cells are arranged in a matrix form with scanning line ends at the same height, then the arrangement is simple and regular, but the flexibility of pixel arrangement is poor and cannot adapt when scanning line ends need to be at different heights
Solution Approach 1:
The pixel cell is divided into two separate pixel electrodes instead of one, allowing each electrode to connect to different scanning lines independently. This segmentation enables the scanning line ends to be at different heights while maintaining proper pixel cell functionality, thus improving arrangement flexibility without excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces asymmetric structure by making the two pixel electrodes have different configurations and connections. The first pixel electrode connects to a first scanning line while the second pixel electrode connects to a second scanning line, creating an asymmetric arrangement that allows scanning line ends to be at different heights, thereby improving adaptability
2Manufacturing precision
If pixel cells are arranged with scanning line ends at the same height, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the precision of pixel cell engagement is limited when different heights are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves from a two-dimensional planar arrangement where scanning line ends must be at the same height to a three-dimensional arrangement where scanning lines can be at different heights. By utilizing vertical dimension differences, the patent achieves precise pixel cell engagement even when scanning line ends are at different heights, improving manufacturing precision without significantly complicating the fabrication process
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional pixel arrangement is used, then the structure is simple and power consumption is lower, but the flexibility and adaptability of the display design is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The pixel cell structure with two pixel electrodes serves multiple functions: it enables flexible arrangement configurations, allows scanning line ends to be at different heights, and maintains proper electrical connections. This multi-functional design improves adaptability while the transparent area between electrodes optimizes light transmission to minimize energy loss, balancing adaptability with power consumption
Data Source
AI summary
A liquid crystal panel and an array substrate are disclosed. The array substrate includes a plurality of pixel cells. Pixel electrodes of each of the pixel cells connect to at least one scanning line and two data lines correspondingly. The two data lines are parallel and spaced apart from each other, and each of the pixel cells is arranged symmetrically along an axis parallel to the two data lines. In this way, the ports corresponding to the intersection of the scanning lines and the adjacent data lines are at the same height to ensure that the pixel cells may be precisely engaged with each other so as to enhance the flexibility of the pixel arrangement.
