Solution Overview

Problem

Existing transparent display panels struggle to achieve high resolution, high brightness, and high transparency simultaneously due to limitations in sub-pixel size and arrangement, leading to poor display quality.

Innovation Solution

A stacked display substrate design with pixel units arranged in a manner that increases sub-pixel area while maintaining a constant display area, utilizing top-emitting and bottom-emitting electroluminescent devices and optical clear resin bonding to enhance luminous brightness and display effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Illumination intensity

If sub-pixel size is increased to improve brightness, then luminous brightness is improved, but display resolution deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous brightnessVSAvoiddisplay resolution
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a single-plane sub-pixel arrangement to a stacked three-dimensional configuration. The first and second substrates are arranged in different spatial planes, with pixel units on each substrate containing sub-pixels that emit different colors. This vertical stacking allows sub-pixel area to be increased for higher brightness while maintaining fine horizontal pitch for high resolution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a nested structure where pixel units on the first substrate are positioned to correspond with pixel units on the second substrate. The sub-pixels are arranged such that red, green, and blue sub-pixels from different substrates are nested in a stacked configuration, with each sub-pixel's orthographic projection overlapping with others to form complete color pixels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Illumination intensity

If sub-pixel area is increased to improve brightness, then luminous brightness is improved, but transparent area ratio deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminous brightnessVSAvoidtransparent area ratio
Core Design Contradiction:
Illumination intensityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

By moving the sub-pixel arrangement to a stacked three-dimensional configuration across multiple substrates, the patent increases sub-pixel area in the vertical dimension while maintaining a compact horizontal footprint. This allows the display area to be expanded without proportionally increasing the overall panel area, thereby preserving high transparent area ratio.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Manufacturing precision

If pixel density is increased to improve resolution, then display resolution is improved, but manufacturing complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the display system into multiple independent substrates (first substrate and second substrate), each containing pixel units with sub-pixels. This segmentation allows each substrate to be manufactured separately with standardized processes, then assembled through bonding. The pixel defining layers and driving circuits are also segmented and positioned in specific regions to facilitate modular manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
