Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional MVA liquid crystal display panels experience dark lines at spacing regions due to liquid crystals being tilted at large angles under differential electric fields between pixel and sub-pixel electrodes, affecting transmittance.

Innovation Solution

The introduction of a first electromagnetic shielding wire with a voltage equal to the common electrode, positioned between the main and secondary pixel electrodes, increases the distance between them and equalizes the electric field, preventing liquid crystal tilting and dark line formation.

1Ease of manufacture

If the main pixel electrode and sub-pixel electrode are arranged at intervals in the light-transmission area, then the pixel unit can be divided into main area and sub-area for signal transmission, but the liquid crystal at the spacing region will be tilted at large angle under differential electric field, resulting in dark lines and reduced transmittance

Solution Approach 1:

An electromagnetic shielding wire is introduced as an intermediary component between the main pixel electrode and sub-pixel electrode. This shielding wire, connected to the common electrode, mediates the electric field distribution in the spacing region, preventing the liquid crystal from tilting at large angles and eliminating dark lines while maintaining the segmented pixel electrode arrangement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The electromagnetic shielding wire is connected to the common electrode to establish equipotential conditions in the spacing region. By making the shielding wire and common electrode equipotential, the differential electric field that causes liquid crystal tilting is eliminated, ensuring uniform electric field distribution and preventing dark line formation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #12Equipotentiality
