Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If various lines are closely arranged to increase pixel density, then the pixel density is improved, but signal interference between lines increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel densityVSAvoidsignal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from planar wiring to three-dimensional stacked wiring with multiple conductive layers. Initialization signal lines and connection lines are arranged in different conductive layers, forming a grid-like structure that reduces in-plane interference while maintaining high pixel density through vertical stacking.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The wiring structure is segmented into multiple independent conductive layers. Each layer contains specific signal lines (initialization signal lines in one layer, connection lines in another layer), allowing signals to be separated in the vertical dimension and reducing electromagnetic interference between different signal types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If wiring space is reduced to increase pixel density, then the pixel density is improved, but wiring design complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel densityVSAvoidwiring design complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the vertical dimension by stacking multiple conductive layers. This allows wiring to be distributed across different heights, effectively increasing the available wiring space without expanding the planar area, thus maintaining high pixel density while simplifying wiring design through systematic layering.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The grid-like structure formed by intersecting initialization signal lines and connection lines serves multiple functions: it provides signal transmission pathways, reduces interference through spatial separation, and maintains design regularity. This multi-functional structure simplifies wiring design by providing a systematic framework that can be consistently applied across the entire display panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Device complexity

If signal lines are arranged in a single layer, then the wiring design is simple, but signal interference increases and display uniformity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring design simplicityVSAvoiddisplay uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs multiple stacked conductive layers to separate initialization signal lines from connection lines vertically. This three-dimensional arrangement reduces electromagnetic interference between different signal types while maintaining wiring design regularity through the systematic grid-like structure formed by line intersections in different layers.

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

Solution Approach 2:

Different signal lines are segmented into separate conductive layers based on their function. Initialization signal lines are placed in one layer while connection lines are placed in another layer, reducing signal interference and improving display uniformity while keeping the overall wiring design systematic and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
