Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in display device design is accommodating a camera while maintaining a full-screen and narrow-frame layout, as the camera's space requirements conflict with the need for a maximized display region.

Innovation Solution

A display substrate with a peripheral region that includes a first and second wire, arranged in a bent configuration to pass through a display region and an opening peripheral region, providing electrical signals and allowing for capacitor formation to compensate for varying sub-pixel loads, thereby optimizing space for a narrow-frame design.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If the camera is arranged at an outer side of the display region, then the camera has sufficient space, but the display region cannot be maximized and the frame cannot be narrow

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay region areaVSAvoidcamera installation space
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent integrates the camera into the display region by utilizing the opening (notch) area, transforming the traditional side-arrangement into a dimensionally integrated layout. This allows the camera to be positioned within the display region rather than at the outer side, maximizing the display area while providing sufficient space for the camera through the opening structure.

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

2Device complexity

If wires are arranged straight through the peripheral region, then the wiring is simple, but insufficient space remains for load compensation capacitors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring complexityVSAvoidload compensation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs bent wire configurations (first bent portion and second bent portion) instead of straight wires. These bent portions create additional space within the peripheral region that can be utilized for arranging load compensation capacitors, thereby maintaining wiring functionality while enabling sufficient space for reliability-critical compensation components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)

Solution Approach 2:

The wire structure is segmented into multiple portions (first wire with first bent portion, second wire with second bent portion) that pass through different regions (first display region, opening peripheral region, second display region). This segmentation allows optimized spatial arrangement for both wiring and capacitor placement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Area of stationary object

If the peripheral region space is reduced for narrow-frame design, then the frame becomes narrow, but space for wires and capacitors becomes insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperipheral region areaVSAvoidwire and capacitor arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By implementing bent portions in the wires rather than straight configurations, the patent efficiently utilizes the limited peripheral region space. The curved/bent wire paths create compact arrangements that fit within the reduced peripheral area while still providing adequate space for capacitor placement and maintaining proper wire routing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #14Spheroidality (Curvature)
