Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display panels face challenges in achieving borderless designs due to the limitations of gate drive circuits being confined to the edge display area, leading to signal delay, voltage drop, and poor display uniformity as the number of gate drive circuits increases.

Innovation Solution

The display panel design disperses gate drive circuits on both sides of a center line within the display area, allowing sufficient space for multiple gate drive circuits, reducing signal transmission distances, and improving display uniformity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If gate drive circuits are confined to the edge display area, then the display panel structure is simple, but signal transmission distance increases causing delay and voltage drop

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay panel structureVSAvoidsignal transmission delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The gate drive circuits are segmented and distributed on both sides of the center line within the display area, rather than being concentrated at the edge. This segmentation reduces the maximum signal transmission distance from spanning the entire panel width to covering only half the width at most, thereby reducing signal delay and voltage drop while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple gate drive circuits are added to improve driving performance, then display uniformity improves, but the number of circuits increases causing more voltage drop

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay uniformityVSAvoidvoltage drop
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

Gate drive circuits are strategically positioned at specific locations on both sides of the center line within the display area. This local placement optimizes the distribution of driving signals across different regions of the display panel, ensuring uniform driving performance while minimizing the number of circuits needed and reducing overall voltage drop.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
