Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display devices face challenges in stably supplying high-speed signal wires, such as power supply lines, due to undesired coupling between the circuit board and connection portions, leading to instability in signal transmission.

Innovation Solution

Incorporation of insulation patterns between the circuit board and connection portions, with insulation resistance values ranging from 1.00×10^13 to 2.00×10^13 Ω, to widen the gap and reduce coupling, ensuring stable signal transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If the connection portion is directly attached to the circuit board for compact design, then device complexity is reduced, but signal transmission stability deteriorates due to undesired coupling

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidsignal transmission stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The insulation pattern serves as an intermediary element positioned between the connection portion and the circuit board. This intermediate structure physically separates the signal transmission line from the connection portion, eliminating direct coupling while maintaining the functional connection. The insulation pattern acts as a mediator that preserves signal integrity without compromising the structural integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The insulation pattern divides the coupling space into distinct regions by creating an insulating barrier. This segmentation separates the electromagnetic fields of the signal transmission line from the connection portion, preventing unwanted interaction. The segmentation approach maintains compact design while ensuring signal stability through spatial separation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If insulation patterns are added to reduce coupling, then signal transmission stability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission stabilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The insulation pattern is implemented as a thin film or planar structure that can be integrated into the existing circuit board layers. This thin-film approach provides effective electrical insulation without adding significant thickness or structural complexity. The flexible, planar nature of the insulation pattern allows it to be seamlessly incorporated into the circuit board design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The insulation pattern is merged with the existing circuit board structure, combining the insulation function with the circuit board's ground planes or reference structures. This integration ensures that the insulation pattern becomes part of the overall circuit design rather than a separate addition, thereby minimizing the increase in device complexity while maintaining signal transmission stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
