Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If a conventional scan driving circuit is used with multiple independent scan drivers, then the scanning function is achieved, but the amount of input signals increases and the array process complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescanning functionVSAvoidamount of input signals and array process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple independent scan drivers into a single integrated scan driving circuit that uses one clock signal to control all scan lines. This consolidation reduces the number of input signals from multiple separate drivers to a single unified circuit, thereby reducing array process complexity while maintaining the scanning function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The scan driving circuit is designed as a universal circuit that can control multiple scan lines using a single clock signal. The circuit performs multiple functions (controlling different scan lines) through one unified structure, eliminating the need for multiple specialized drivers and reducing overall system complexity.

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

2Ease of operation

If multiple independent scan drivers are used to control scanning lines, then the scanning function is achieved, but the output from integrated chip increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvescanning functionVSAvoidoutput from integrated chip
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple scan driver functions into a single integrated circuit block on the chip. This merging reduces the total output from the integrated chip by eliminating redundant driver circuits, while still providing the capability to control all necessary scan lines through the unified circuit design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
