Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing resolution of AMOLED display panels leads to limited layout space, making it difficult to connect initialization signal line patterns in the same row, thereby increasing production costs.

Innovation Solution

A display panel design with a first auxiliary signal line layer in a grid structure in anode spacing areas, coupled to initialization signal lines, and additional auxiliary signal lines to ensure connectivity and stability, allowing for shared layers to reduce thickness and complexity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the resolution of the display panel is increased, then the display quality is improved, but the layout space becomes smaller making it difficult to connect initialization signal line patterns

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidlayout space
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a third-layer auxiliary initialization signal line structure that extends in the column direction (vertical dimension), allowing signal transmission perpendicular to the traditional row-direction signal lines. This dimensional change enables effective use of vertical space that would otherwise be unavailable for horizontal signal routing in high-resolution displays.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The auxiliary initialization signal line acts as an intermediary structure that bridges the gap between traditional initialization signal lines and sub-pixel driving circuits. By introducing this intermediate layer with different orientation and positioning, the patent enables signal transmission without requiring direct connection between conventional signal lines and distant sub-pixel circuits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If the initialization signal line patterns are connected using traditional methods, then the signal transmission is simple, but the production cost increases due to layout difficulties

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal line connectionVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the auxiliary initialization signal line layer with the existing initialization signal line structure, creating an integrated multi-layer signal transmission system. By combining traditional row-direction signal lines with column-direction auxiliary lines in the same device architecture, the patent achieves both manufacturing simplicity and cost-effectiveness while solving the connectivity problem.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If additional auxiliary signal line layers are added to ensure connectivity, then the signal transmission stability is improved, but the device structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission stabilityVSAvoidsignal line structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The auxiliary initialization signal line is strategically positioned in specific regions where traditional signal line connections are insufficient, rather than uniformly distributing signal lines throughout the entire display panel. This localized approach enhances signal transmission stability in critical areas while minimizing overall structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
