Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional display panels experience relative displacement between substrates under pressure, leading to ripples and light leakage due to the flow of liquid crystals and misalignment of the black matrix layer, which degrades display quality.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a first and second magnetic layer with opposite polarities on the substrates to form an attractive magnetic field force, preventing relative displacement and maintaining the position of the black matrix layer, thereby reducing ripples and light leakage.
