Solution Overview

Problem

Large screen display devices face significant power consumption issues due to disconnection defects in wiring, as conventional solutions like preliminary wiring and buffers are insufficient in reducing power consumption, especially when dealing with extended routing lengths and increased loads.

Innovation Solution

A display device design that includes a buffer for each wiring group, a preliminary wiring for defect repair, and a charge distributor to redistribute charges between wirings and preliminary wiring, with features like short-circuiting outputs and controlling potential variations to minimize unnecessary power usage.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If preliminary wiring and preliminary buffer are used to repair disconnection defect, then voltage drop is compensated and display quality is improved, but routing length of preliminary wiring is increased and load is larger

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidrouting length
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel wirings are divided into multiple groups, with buffers provided for each group. The charge distributor segments the charge distribution control by group, allowing independent management of charge distribution for each wiring group including repaired ones.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention changes the charge distribution parameters dynamically by detecting disconnection defects and adjusting charge distribution accordingly. The charge distributor modifies charge distribution parameters for wiring groups containing defects while maintaining normal parameters for unaffected groups.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If preliminary buffer is used to repair disconnection defect, then voltage drop is compensated, but power consumption is not sufficiently reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevoltage compensationVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The charge distributor recovers and redistributes charges from wiring groups with disconnection defects to other wiring groups. Instead of allowing charges to be wasted in damaged wiring paths, the system recovers these charges and reallocates them to functional wiring groups, thereby reducing overall power consumption while maintaining voltage compensation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

Solution Approach 2:

The charge distributor implements feedback control by detecting disconnection defects and automatically adjusting charge distribution. The system continuously monitors wiring status and dynamically modifies charge distribution parameters to optimize power consumption while ensuring reliable display operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Area of stationary object

If screen size is increased to achieve large screen display, then display area is improved, but routing length of wirings is extended and power consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidpower consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The display panel is divided into multiple wiring groups with dedicated buffers for each group. This segmentation allows independent charge distribution control for each group, enabling the charge distributor to optimize power consumption locally rather than managing the entire large-screen wiring system as a single unit.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The charge distribution parameters are dynamically adjusted based on the actual status of each wiring group. For wiring groups containing disconnection defects, the system modifies charge distribution parameters to compensate for voltage drops while reducing overall power consumption through intelligent charge redistribution across the large-screen display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
