Solution Overview

Problem

Liquid crystal display devices face slow response times due to weak fringe fields in the center areas of domains defined by cutting patterns, which restrict pixel electrode size and aperture ratio.

Innovation Solution

A liquid crystal composition comprising specific compounds in defined weight percentages, including 5 to 15% of chemical formula 1, 25 to 40% of chemical formula 2, 10 to 25% of chemical formula 3, 20 to 30% of chemical formula 4, 15 to 25% of chemical formula 5, 0 to 10% of chemical formula 6, 0 to 10% of chemical formula 7, and 0 to 10% of chemical formula 8, is used in a liquid crystal display device to improve response time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a patterned vertically aligned (PVA) mode liquid crystal display with cutting patterns is used to enhance viewing angle, then the orientation of liquid crystal molecules is adjusted by fringe field, but the fringe field becomes weak in the center area of domains, causing delayed movement of liquid crystal molecules and slowing response time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveviewing angle enhancementVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the physical and chemical parameters of the liquid crystal composition by incorporating specific compounds (Formula 1 at 5-15 wt%, Formula 2 at 25-40 wt%, Formula 3 at 10-25 wt%, Formula 4 at 20-30 wt%, Formula 5 at 15-25 wt%, and Formulas 6-8 at 0-10 wt% each) to improve response time while maintaining the PVA mode structure with cutting patterns for viewing angle enhancement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Area of stationary object

If the pixel electrode size is increased to improve aperture ratio, then the display area increases, but the delayed movement of liquid crystal molecules in the center area restricts the size increase and does not substantially increase aperture ratio

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaperture ratioVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the liquid crystal composition parameters to achieve faster response times, enabling the pixel electrode size to be increased without being constrained by slow molecular movement, thereby substantially increasing the aperture ratio

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
