Solution Overview

Problem

Large size OLED display panels using white light OLED with color filters suffer from cross color or crosstalk, leading to unsaturated monochrome displays and reduced color gamut due to transverse charge transmission across adjacent pixels.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a magnetic field in the pixel regions with a direction forming an included angle with the drive substrate, and using a current coil connected to the drive substrate to generate a magnetic field that inhibits transverse charge transmission, thereby preventing crosstalk and enhancing display quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If white light OLED with color filters is used to generate red, green and blue light, then the display panel can achieve full-color display, but cross color or crosstalk occurs making monochrome display unsaturated and reducing color gamut

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor display capabilityVSAvoidcolor saturation and gamut
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the problematic color filter layer from the display structure. By using separate red, green, and blue light-emitting OLEDs for each pixel without color filters, the invention removes the source of crosstalk and color contamination, thereby achieving saturated monochrome displays and improved color gamut while maintaining full-color display capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the display into independent red, green, and blue pixel units, each with its own light-emitting OLED. This segmentation prevents light from adjacent pixels of different colors from interfering with each other, eliminating crosstalk and improving both color saturation and display versatility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If magnetic field is applied to inhibit transverse charge transmission, then crosstalk is reduced and color saturation is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional current coil structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor saturationVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the magnetic field generation function with the existing pixel electrode structure by integrating current coils into the pixel definition layer. This combination approach generates the necessary magnetic fields to inhibit transverse charge transmission and improve color saturation without adding separate, complex magnetic field generation systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a magnetic field as an intermediary mechanism to control charge carrier movement. The magnetic field acts as a mediator that inhibits transverse charge transmission between adjacent pixels, improving color saturation without requiring direct physical barriers or complex structural modifications

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
