Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If the same initialization potential is applied to all detection elements, then the initialization process is simple, but short circuits between adjacent detection elements cannot be accurately detected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinitialization process simplicityVSAvoidshort circuit detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The detection elements are divided into two groups (first detection elements and second detection elements) based on their column or row positions. Different initialization potentials are applied to each group, enabling differentiation between adjacent elements for accurate short circuit detection while maintaining a relatively simple initialization process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If different initialization potentials are applied to adjacent detection elements, then short circuit detection accuracy is improved, but the initialization process becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshort circuit detection accuracyVSAvoidinitialization circuit complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Different initialization potentials are applied locally to specific groups of detection elements (first detection elements in even-numbered columns or rows, second detection elements in odd-numbered columns or rows) rather than uniformly to all elements. This localized approach enables accurate short circuit detection while keeping the initialization circuit design manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of manufacture

If all detection elements are initialized with the same potential, then the initialization circuit is simple, but quality control during manufacturing is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinitialization circuit simplicityVSAvoiddevice quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

Different initialization potentials are applied to different groups of detection elements before the actual detection process. This preliminary differentiation allows any short circuits that may have occurred during manufacturing to be detected in advance, ensuring device quality and reliability while maintaining a relatively simple initialization circuit structure.

Inventive Principle:
