Corner Display Panel Layout for Expanded Side-Screen Imaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display apparatuses struggle to effectively utilize side and corner areas for image display, limiting the expansion of the display area beyond the traditional front-facing surface.
Innovation Solution
A display panel design that includes a substrate with a front display area, corner display areas extending from the front area, and a peripheral area, featuring corner driving circuits, extension portions, and load portions to facilitate image display on side and corner areas, with conductive layers and voltage lines to support pixel connectivity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display area is expanded to include side and corner areas, then the total display area increases, but the complexity of the driving circuit increases
Solution Approach 1:
The corner display area is divided into two separate corner display areas (first and second corner display areas), each with its own corner driving circuit. This segmentation allows independent control of each corner region, simplifying the overall driving circuit architecture while enabling expanded display coverage in complex geometries.
Solution Approach 2:
The corner driving circuits are designed to perform multiple functions: they drive pixels in the corner display areas and also receive control signals from the front display area. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated circuits for each region, thereby managing complexity while achieving expanded display area.
2Area of moving object
If corner display areas are added extending from the front display area, then the display area is expanded, but the number of electrical connections and wiring increases
Solution Approach 1:
The corner driving circuits are positioned within the corner display areas and are electrically connected to both the front display area pixels and the corner pixels. This merging of connection points within the corner regions reduces the need for separate wiring paths, simplifying the electrical connection architecture while supporting expanded display area.
3Area of moving object
If the display area is expanded to side and corner areas, then the image display capability is enhanced, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The corner display areas feature extension portions with specific local characteristics - they extend in directions away from the front display area and include cutout portions between extension portions. This local differentiation allows tailored pixel arrangements and driving circuit configurations for corner regions, maintaining manufacturing precision while enabling expanded display geometry.

AI summary
A display panel may include: a substrate including a front display area, a corner display area extending from a corner of the front display area, and a peripheral area outside the corner display area, where the corner display area includes a first corner display area and a second corner display area; a first corner driving circuit positioned in the second corner display area and electrically connected to each of a front pixel arranged in the front display area and a corner pixel arranged in the first corner display area; a second corner driving circuit positioned in the second corner display area, electrically connected to the corner pixel arranged in the first corner display area, and not electrically connected to the front pixel; and a load portion positioned in the peripheral area and electrically connected to the second corner driving circuit.
