Solution Approach 1:

A shielding electrode layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the data line and the common electrode layer. This shielding electrode is connected to ground potential and acts as a mediator to reduce the parasitic capacitance coupling between the data line and common electrode layer, thereby solving the capacitance problem while maintaining the multidimensional electric field display functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The harmful parasitic capacitance effect is extracted and isolated by introducing the shielding electrode layer grounded to potential. This separates the harmful capacitive coupling from the functional electric field between pixel electrode and common electrode, removing the detrimental effect while preserving the display function

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding electrode layer serves as a grounded intermediary that reduces parasitic capacitance between the data line and common electrode layer. By minimizing the capacitive coupling, signal delay is reduced while the additional structural complexity is minimal, as the shielding electrode can be integrated into existing layer structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding electrode layer is introduced as a grounded intermediary between the data line and common electrode layer to reduce parasitic capacitance. This prevents the green image artifact caused by excessive capacitance coupling, while the manufacturing process remains compatible with conventional thin-film deposition and patterning techniques

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding electrode layer is selectively positioned only in regions where parasitic capacitance reduction is needed, specifically between the data line and common electrode layer. This local application maintains ease of manufacture by targeting only the problematic areas rather than requiring comprehensive structural modifications
