Solution Overview

Problem

In thin and lightweight display devices, the integration of high or ultra-high frequency antennas is challenging due to signal loss and interference from adjacent conductive structures, requiring an antenna design that enhances signaling efficiency and reliability while minimizing space.

Innovation Solution

The antenna device features a dielectric layer with a radiation pattern, a signal pad, and a ground pad having a recessed structure with an isolation space greater than the signal pad, which effectively shields noise and prevents self-radiation interference, ensuring improved signal transmission and reception.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Volume of moving object

If conductive structures are disposed at the same layer in a limited area, then the antenna device can be integrated in thin display devices, but signal loss occurs due to mutual noise and interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvethickness of display deviceVSAvoidsignal efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Volume of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from planar arrangement to three-dimensional vertical stacking, placing the radiation pattern, signal pad, and ground pad at different heights (different z-dimensions) rather than at the same layer. This vertical separation eliminates mutual interference while maintaining compact footprint, resolving the contradiction between thin device integration and signal efficiency.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a dielectric layer as an intermediary between the radiation pattern and the ground pad. This dielectric medium provides electrical isolation and prevents direct interference between conductive structures, enabling close proximity arrangement without signal loss, thus achieving both compact size and high signal efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If the isolation space length is greater than the signal pad length, then noise shielding and signal efficiency are improved, but the ground pad occupies more area

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal efficiencyVSAvoidground pad area
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the vertical dimension to provide isolation space between the signal pad and ground pad. By separating these elements in the z-direction (different layers) rather than requiring large lateral separation, the design achieves effective noise shielding and signal efficiency improvement without significantly increasing the planar footprint of the ground pad.
