Solution Overview

Problem

Current OLED display technologies, such as standard RGB and PenTile arrangement modes, face challenges in minimizing the separation distance between sub-pixel regions of the same illuminant color, which affects color separation and display quality.

Innovation Solution

A novel pixel unit arrangement featuring a first sub-pixel region surrounded by a second and third sub-pixel region, where the second and third sub-pixel regions also surround each other, with specific area and color configurations, reducing the separation distance between same-illuminant color sub-pixel regions in adjacent pixel units.

1Manufacturing precision

If standard RGB or PenTile arrangement modes are used, then the display panel can be manufactured with conventional processes, but the separation distance between sub-pixel regions of the same illuminant color cannot be minimized, affecting color separation and display quality

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies nesting by arranging sub-pixel regions in concentric rings where the first sub-pixel region is at the center, surrounded by the second sub-pixel region, which is in turn surrounded by the third sub-pixel region. This nested configuration allows sub-pixels of different colors to be closely packed while maintaining distinct separation, minimizing the distance between same-color sub-pixels in adjacent pixel units and improving color separation without requiring complex manufacturing processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses the same illuminant color for corresponding sub-pixel regions in adjacent pixel units (e.g., the first sub-pixel region of one pixel unit has the same illuminant color as the first sub-pixel region of the adjacent pixel unit). This copying approach ensures consistent color separation across the display panel while maintaining the minimized separation distance achieved by the nested arrangement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
