Innovation Solution

The display device includes a substrate with a display area and non-display area, featuring a pixel driving circuit, banks, passivation layers, and a black matrix to support and position light emitting devices accurately.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If light emitting devices are transferred during manufacturing, then the display device can be assembled, but positioning errors occur during the transfer process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransfer processVSAvoidpositioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a bank structure as an intermediary component during the transfer process. The bank serves as a temporary holding structure that receives light emitting devices during transfer and then transfers them to the final pixel electrode position. This intermediary structure enables the transfer process while maintaining positioning accuracy, resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and manufacturing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The bank structure is formed in advance on the substrate before the light emitting devices are transferred. This preliminary action creates a designated receiving structure that guides and positions the light emitting devices during transfer, ensuring accurate positioning from the outset rather than attempting to position devices directly at their final location.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple layers are added to improve positioning accuracy, then manufacturing precision improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepositioning accuracyVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bank structure serves multiple functions: it acts as a receiving structure during transfer, provides positioning guidance, and serves as a support structure. By making the bank multi-functional, the patent achieves high positioning accuracy without adding numerous separate components, thus improving manufacturing precision while limiting the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the positioning function and support function into a single bank structure. Rather than adding separate positioning elements and support elements, the bank integrates both functions, reducing the overall number of components while maintaining positioning accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
