Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display panels face signal transmission disorders and poor display due to fan-out wires not being able to connect to corresponding output terminals, resulting in potential short circuits and inconsistent ordering.

Innovation Solution

The display panel employs a wire-changing jumper design with fan-out wires comprising first and second sections connected on different layers, ensuring each fan-out wire connects to a corresponding output terminal without short circuits, maintaining consistent ordering and preventing signal disorders.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Length of stationary object

If fan-out wires are connected to output terminals in a middle area of the driving chip, then the bonding area can be moved up to achieve a narrow frame, but the fan-out wires cannot be electrically connected to corresponding output terminals, resulting in signal transmission disorder

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveframe widthVSAvoidsignal transmission
Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The fan-out wires are divided into two layers: first fan-out sections in a first layer and second fan-out sections in a second layer. This multi-layer arrangement allows the wires to connect to corresponding output terminals without short circuits, resolving the signal transmission disorder while maintaining the narrow frame design

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

Solution Approach 2:

Each fan-out wire is segmented into multiple sections (first fan-out sections and second fan-out sections) located in different layers. This segmentation enables proper electrical connection between fan-out wires and output terminals, solving the signal transmission problem

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If fan-out wires are arranged to connect to output terminals, then signal transmission can be achieved, but short circuits may occur between adjacent fan-out wires

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmissionVSAvoidshort circuit
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By placing first fan-out sections in a first layer and second fan-out sections in a second layer, the patent creates vertical separation between wire segments. This multi-dimensional arrangement prevents short circuits between adjacent fan-out wires while enabling proper connection to output terminals

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