When we proceed pressure test on TFT-LCD(Thin Film Transistor-Liquid Crystal Display) panels with high resolution, "spot issue" always occurs. PS(Photo Spacer) slides from Gate metal line to transparent area and scratches PI(Polyimide) film, so that LC(Liquid Crystal) molecules can't be anchored. At Dark Picture, place where PI film is damaged occur light-leaking, and forms "spot issue". In order to prevent this issue, we carried out pressure test on TFT-LCD panels with different size and resolution and compared the designs of Photo Spacer, Barriers, BM CD(Black Matrix Critical Dimension) and PS standing Position. We find that the sliding distance of PS can effectively reduce 23.6% by PS Barriers, so light-leaking risk effectively decrease. When PS sliding distance is not beyond the scope of BM(Black Matrix), "spot issue" is not invisible or very slight. The sliding distance of PS standing on the Pillow made by metal block is smaller than that without standing on the Pillow about 10%. At last, taking an example of 49 UHD(Ultra High Definition), we put forward an effective prevention of "spot issue" design of LCD: Increasing the PS Barriers design to reduce the sliding distance of PS; Increasing the width of BM CD make sure the distance from PS edge to BM edge being greater than PS sliding distance; Reducing the number of PS and increasing the size of the PS design reduce the transmittance loss. The results of client authentication do not occur "spot issue" and transmittance fell by 1.2%, which shows that this design scheme can effectively improve the "spot issue".
