Solution Overview

Problem

Backlight units in light receiving type display devices face challenges in reducing electromagnetic noise, particularly in the WWAN band, due to the high frequency electromagnetic interference generated by the power supply circuit and transmission wires.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a power transmitting wire with multiple circuit patterns, each with a specific width and resistance, forms a ferrite bead-like structure that acts as a filter to block high-frequency electromagnetic noise, minimizing interference by increasing impedance in the WWAN band.

Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The power transmitting wire is divided into multiple circuit patterns (first, second, and third circuit patterns) with different widths instead of using a single uniform pattern. This segmentation allows each pattern to contribute differently to impedance characteristics, creating a frequency-selective filtering effect that reduces electromagnetic noise in the WWAN band while maintaining power transmission functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different sections of the power transmitting wire are designed with different circuit pattern widths to create varying impedance characteristics along the transmission path. The first circuit pattern has a wider width for lower impedance, the second has intermediate width, and the third has narrower width for higher impedance, creating a gradient filtering effect that targets specific frequency ranges including the WWAN band.

The circuit pattern widths are specifically designed with different values (first pattern: wider, second pattern: intermediate, third pattern: narrower) to create varying impedance characteristics. This parameter variation creates a frequency-selective filtering effect that increases impedance at WWAN frequencies while maintaining adequate power transmission capability across the frequency spectrum.
