If signal lines are arranged closely to increase pixel density, then display resolution is improved, but signal interference between neighboring pixels increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A shielding signal line is introduced as an intermediary element between adjacent signal lines. This shielding line is connected to a constant potential (ground or power voltage) and acts as a mediator that blocks the capacitive coupling between neighboring signal lines, thereby preventing signal interference while allowing the signal lines to remain closely spaced for high resolution display.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding signal line is connected to a constant potential (either ground potential or power supply voltage), creating an equipotential region between adjacent signal lines. This equipotential shielding line prevents potential differences from forming between neighboring signal lines, thereby eliminating the capacitive coupling effect and signal interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #12Equipotentiality

2Reliability

If shielding structures are added to reduce signal interference, then display uniformity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay uniformityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding signal line is merged with the existing signal line structure and fabricated using the same metal layer and patterning processes. Rather than adding a separate shielding structure, the design integrates the shielding function into the existing signal line network, thereby reducing display uniformity issues without significantly increasing device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding signal line serves multiple functions: it acts as a shield against signal interference, provides a reference potential, and can be integrated with the existing signal distribution network. This multi-functionality allows the same structural element to address multiple issues simultaneously, improving display uniformity without proportionally increasing complexity.

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