Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge is to design a circuit board and antenna package that ensures reliable bonding and circuit connection while maintaining or improving radiation characteristics, especially in display devices with reduced bezel area and thickness.

Innovation Solution

The circuit board features a core layer with distinct regions and antenna power supply wirings arranged in specific patterns, ensuring that the interval between neighboring second portions is 3 times or less of the interval between neighboring third portions, which helps maintain signal independence and reduce the length of the first region.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the circuit board is bent to connect with the antenna driving circuit, then the antenna can be connected to the display device, but damage to the wiring and adhesion failure may occur due to bending stress

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection capabilityVSAvoidwiring integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit board is divided into a first region for antenna connection and a second region for the antenna driving circuit, with the antenna power supply wirings configured to extend through both regions. This segmentation allows the board to be bent at appropriate locations while maintaining electrical connectivity and reducing stress concentration on critical wiring paths.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Volume of moving object

If the thickness of the display device is decreased and the bezel area is reduced, then the device becomes more compact, but it becomes difficult to ensure reliable bonding and maintain radiation characteristics of the antenna

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice thicknessVSAvoidbonding reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The antenna power supply wirings are configured to extend in both the first region and the second region of the core layer, creating a three-dimensional wiring path that optimizes signal transmission. This multi-dimensional wiring configuration allows the antenna package to maintain reliable bonding and radiation characteristics even when the display device thickness is reduced.

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

3Length of stationary object

If the interval between neighboring second portions of the antenna power supply wirings is reduced, then the length of the first region can be reduced, but signal disturbance between wirings may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefirst region lengthVSAvoidsignal disturbance
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent specifies that the interval between neighboring second portions of the antenna power supply wirings is 3 times or less of the interval between neighboring third portions. This parameter control optimizes the balance between reducing the first region length and preventing signal disturbance, achieving compact design while maintaining signal integrity through controlled wiring spacing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
