Solution Overview

Problem

Existing flexible active-driven organic electroluminescent devices face challenges in improving the flexibility and efficiency of touch signal line wiring due to crosstalk from other signals, necessitating improved shielding mechanisms.

Innovation Solution

The display panel incorporates a reference power bus protrusion in the peripheral area that overlaps with the touch signal line, allowing for efficient signal shielding and reduced crosstalk, while maintaining flexibility and enabling increased touch signal line width for improved accuracy and reduced voltage drop.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a common electrode is used to shield the touch signal line, then crosstalk from other signals is reduced, but the wiring flexibility of the touch signal line is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecrosstalkVSAvoidwiring flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The reference power bus is segmented into multiple portions, with at least one portion extending in a direction different from the main extension direction of the reference power bus. This segmentation allows the touch signal line to overlap with different segments at different positions, providing multiple shielding options and improving wiring flexibility while maintaining crosstalk reduction effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The reference power bus introduces directional diversity by extending at least one portion in a direction different from the main extension direction. This dimensional change creates multiple spatial relationships between the reference power bus and touch signal line, enabling flexible wiring configurations while maintaining effective electromagnetic shielding.

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

2Measurement precision

If the touch signal line width is increased to improve accuracy and reduce voltage drop, then signal quality improves, but the space required for wiring increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetouch signal accuracyVSAvoidwiring space
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The reference power bus has different extension directions at different portions, creating local variations in shielding configuration. This allows the touch signal line to be positioned optimally at different segments, enabling wider signal lines for improved accuracy without uniformly increasing the overall wiring space requirement across the entire display panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
