  • Patent number: 10991334
    Abstract: A large-panel liquid crystal display uses wireless data transmission to provide display data to the pixels arranged in a two-dimensional array of pixel rows and pixel columns in the display area. Pixels are also arranged into pixel groups with each group having a plurality of pixel blocks. Antennas arranged in a two-dimensional array are used to receive wireless signals indicative of the display data from a wireless signal source and to provide display data to the pixels. Each antenna is connected to a different data line in a pixel group for providing display data to the pixel group. Antennas are embedded in the electronic layers on upper surface of the lower substrate and the wireless signal source is embedded in the backlight unit of the display. With wireless data transmission, data lines can be confined within the display area and not connected to conventional semiconductor data drivers.
