Solution Overview

Problem

Crosstalk interference occurs in high-density liquid crystal displays due to energy spillover from data and scan lines, particularly in bistable and multistable liquid crystal skeletons, leading to reduced display quality and increased power consumption.

Innovation Solution

A stable liquid crystal display module structure incorporating data and scan switch components that ground lines without driving signals via capacitors to prevent energy spillover, using switch control modules to synchronize signal detection and line connection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If liquid crystal units are arranged in high density to increase resolution, then display resolution is improved, but crosstalk interference between neighboring units increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidcrosstalk interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A ground line is introduced as an intermediary element between adjacent data lines and scan lines. This ground line acts as a shield that intercepts and redirects electromagnetic energy that would otherwise couple between neighboring signal lines, thereby reducing crosstalk interference while allowing high-density arrangement of liquid crystal units for improved resolution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If control signals are repeatedly applied to data lines and scan lines to control liquid crystal units, then display control capability is improved, but power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay control capabilityVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The display system uses periodic scanning of data lines and scan lines to update liquid crystal units only when necessary. During periods when display content remains unchanged, the scanning frequency is reduced or suspended, allowing the liquid crystal units to maintain their state without continuous power input, thereby reducing overall power consumption while preserving full display control capability when needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If ground lines are added between data lines and scan lines to reduce crosstalk, then crosstalk interference is reduced, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecrosstalk interferenceVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The ground line structure is merged with the existing pixel electrode structure, where the same conductive layer serves both as the pixel electrode and as part of the grounding/shielding system. This integration approach reduces the need for separate ground line structures, thereby reducing device complexity while still providing effective crosstalk reduction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A structure of stable liquid crystal display (LCD) module includes at least one data driver for receiving data control signals from a master control unit (MCU) and transmitting data driving signals via a part of data lines to liquid crystal units in the stable LCD module; at least one data switch component for grounding the data lines via capacitors when the data lines do not have the data driving signals; at least one scan driver for receiving scan control signals from the MCU and transmitting scan driving signals via a part of scan lines to the liquid crystal units in the stable LCD module; and at least one scan switch component for grounding the scan lines via capacitors when the scan lines do not have the scan driving signals. In this way, crosstalk interference caused by energy spillover generated by neighboring data and/or scan lines can be eliminated.
