Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional stereoscopic image display devices face limitations in vertical viewing angle and aperture ratio due to the width of the black matrix, which increases crosstalk and decreases brightness.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a stereoscopic image display device with a color filter substrate featuring black stripes that include a first and second black pattern spaced apart, allowing for gaps between them, which enhances the vertical viewing angle while minimizing crosstalk and maintaining aperture ratio.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If the width of the black matrix is increased to improve stereoscopic image display, then the vertical viewing angle is improved, but the aperture ratio decreases and brightness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevertical viewing angleVSAvoidaperture ratio
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The black stripe is divided into a first black pattern and a second black pattern that are spaced apart from each other, creating gaps between them. This segmentation allows light to pass through the gaps while maintaining the black stripe's function of defining viewing angle, thereby resolving the contradiction between improving vertical viewing angle and maintaining aperture ratio.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the width of the black matrix is increased to reduce crosstalk, then front crosstalk is reduced, but the aperture ratio decreases and brightness is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefront crosstalkVSAvoidaperture ratio
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the black stripe into spaced-apart first and second black patterns, the structure maintains sufficient black material to reduce crosstalk while creating gaps that allow light transmission, thus preventing aperture ratio decrease and brightness reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The black patterns are strategically positioned and spaced to create local gaps where light transmission is needed, while maintaining black material in areas where crosstalk reduction is critical. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction between reducing crosstalk and maintaining aperture ratio.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
