Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing display devices face challenges in maximizing the display area while accommodating camera components, leading to increased load differences between data lines and the need for bridge electrodes.
Innovation Solution
The display device incorporates first and second data lines in different layers, with adjacent data lines connected through bridge electrodes, and includes a through hole in the display area to accommodate a camera, minimizing load differences and eliminating the need for additional bridge electrodes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a through hole is added in the display area to accommodate a camera, then camera capabilities are enhanced, but the display area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes multiple wiring layers (first data layer and second data layer) to route data lines in different three-dimensional spaces. By placing adjacent data lines in different layers, the design accommodates camera components in the display area without compromising the two-dimensional display surface, effectively resolving the conflict between camera integration and display area preservation.
2Reliability
If adjacent data lines are placed in different layers, then load differences between data lines are minimized, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs a multi-layer wiring structure where adjacent data lines are positioned in different layers (first data layer and second data layer). This three-dimensional arrangement allows for more flexible routing and load balancing, minimizing differences in electrical characteristics between adjacent data lines while distributing the complexity across multiple manageable layers.
Solution Approach 2:
The data transmission path is segmented into multiple layers, with different data lines assigned to different layers. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each layer's routing and load characteristics, enabling better overall load balance while keeping each individual layer relatively simple in structure.
