Problem

Existing display devices face challenges in achieving high-resolution and high-frequency displays while maintaining adequate spacing between bonding pads to reduce interference and improve image quality.

Innovation Solution

The display device incorporates a circuit film with input and output pads arranged in two rows, increasing the gap size between bonding pads without expanding the circuit film width, thereby improving image quality and process capability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the number of signal lines and power lines is increased to support high-resolution and high-frequency display, then the display resolution and frequency are improved, but the gap size between bonding pads decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidgap size between bonding pads
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The bonding pads are rearranged from a conventional single-row or scattered layout to a two-row configuration. This dimensional reorganization allows signal lines to be routed more efficiently between the rows, increasing the gap size between adjacent bonding pads while accommodating the same or greater number of signal lines and power lines for high-resolution display.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding pad arrangement is segmented into two distinct rows, separating input pads and output pads into organized groups. This segmentation creates clearer spatial zones that reduce interference between adjacent bonding pads while maintaining adequate spacing, thus supporting high-frequency operations without compromising the gap size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Speed

If the number of bonding pads is increased to support more signal lines, then the display frequency is improved, but the gap size between bonding pads decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay frequencyVSAvoidgap size between bonding pads
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

By transitioning to a two-row bonding pad configuration, the patent creates additional spatial dimensions for organizing multiple bonding pads. This allows more pads to be accommodated with increased spacing between them, supporting higher display frequencies while maintaining the required gap size to minimize interference and crosstalk between adjacent high-speed signal lines.

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

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the gap size between bonding pads is increased to reduce interference, then the image quality is improved, but the width of the circuit film increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinterference between bonding padsVSAvoidwidth of circuit film
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The two-row arrangement of bonding pads optimizes the spatial distribution of pads across the circuit film width. By organizing pads into two rows with appropriate spacing, the design achieves adequate gap sizes for reducing interference while controlling the overall width of the circuit film through efficient use of the available two-dimensional space.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding pads in different rows can be assigned different functions (input vs. output pads), allowing local optimization of the gap sizes based on specific signal requirements. This enables targeted interference reduction where needed while maintaining compact overall dimensions of the circuit film.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
