Solution Overview

Problem

Existing liquid crystal display (LCD) products lack local dimming functionality due to insufficient backlight partitions, resulting in poor contrast and viewing experience, and the bonding area of dual LCD display panels is prone to interference fringes.

Innovation Solution

A display panel structure comprising two liquid crystal display panels laminated with a bonding layer containing a quantum dot material layer, which includes an adhesive and quantum dots, and additional adhesive layers for enhanced adhesion and protection, allowing for pixel-level backlight modulation and preventing interference fringes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If dual LCD display panels are bonded together to achieve pixel-level backlight modulation, then local dimming function is improved, but interference fringes appear in the bonding area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal dimming functionVSAvoidinterference fringes
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a bonding layer as an intermediary between the first and second LCD panels. This bonding layer contains a quantum dot material layer that serves as a mediator to eliminate interference fringes while maintaining the optical coupling necessary for pixel-level backlight modulation. The quantum dot material absorbs and re-emits light, preventing direct optical interference between the bonded panels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding layer is constructed as a composite material system comprising a quantum dot material layer dispersed in an adhesive matrix. This composite structure combines the optical properties of quantum dots (which eliminate interference fringes through photoluminescence) with the adhesive properties of the binder, achieving both optical performance and mechanical bonding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Device complexity

If insufficient backlight partitions are used in traditional LCDs, then device complexity is reduced, but contrast ratio deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebacklight partition structureVSAvoidcontrast ratio
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs the second LCD panel as a segmentation structure that divides the backlight into multiple independently controllable regions at the pixel level. Each pixel or sub-pixel region can be independently dimmed, creating fine-grained backlight partitions without requiring complex physical partition structures. This achieves high contrast ratio through software-controlled segmentation rather than hardware partitioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
