Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If complex pixel driving circuits are used to drive sub-pixels, then the driving capability is improved, but the circuit complexity increases leading to potential inconsistencies in light emission

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving capabilityVSAvoidcircuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The pixel driving circuit is divided into multiple functional modules: a driving module for current generation, a first reset module for initializing the anode voltage, and a second reset module for initializing the transistor gate voltage. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, reducing the complexity of the overall circuit while maintaining complete driving capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The reset modules perform preliminary initialization actions before the driving module operates. The first reset module initializes the anode voltage to a known state, and the second reset module initializes the transistor gate voltage, ensuring that the driving module starts from a consistent state each time, thereby eliminating inconsistencies in light emission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If multiple reset modules are added to initialize voltage levels, then the initialization accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinitialization accuracyVSAvoidnumber of reset modules
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The initialization function is segmented into two separate reset modules, each responsible for a specific voltage node. The first reset module handles the anode voltage initialization, while the second reset module handles the transistor gate voltage initialization. This segmentation allows for more accurate and independent control of each voltage level without requiring a single complex reset circuit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The reset modules act as intermediary circuits between the control signals and the voltage nodes they initialize. By introducing these intermediary reset modules, the patent achieves precise voltage initialization without directly manipulating the voltage nodes, thereby improving initialization accuracy while keeping the overall circuit structure manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
