Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display device assembly procedures face challenges in accurately detecting the resistance of flexible printed circuits, which is crucial for ensuring normal operation, and current methods are inefficient and prone to errors.

Innovation Solution

The display device incorporates a configuration of five wires on the driving circuit board, with specific convergence points on the electronic connector and circuit board, allowing for resistance detection using five probes that exclude the resistance of the display panel's wires, thereby enhancing detection accuracy and reducing the number of detection steps and errors.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the resistance detection function from the complex assembly of display panel, flexible printed circuit, and driving circuit board. By designing five specific test wires with convergence points that isolate the flexible printed circuit resistance measurement from display panel wire resistance, the detection process extracts only the relevant resistance value, thereby improving measurement precision while simplifying the detection procedure to a single unified test.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple separate resistance detection steps into a single unified detection process. By configuring five test wires with specific convergence points on the flexible printed circuit, the system combines the detection of resistance between the display panel connection and the driving circuit board connection into one simultaneous measurement, maintaining comprehensive reliability while reducing detection time and minimizing error accumulation opportunities.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by creating specific measurement zones through the five test wires with defined convergence points on the flexible printed circuit. This localized approach focuses the detection function specifically on measuring the resistance of the flexible printed circuit itself, excluding the display panel wire resistance from the measurement, thereby achieving high precision for the target component while maintaining the ability to detect comprehensive circuit integrity through the unified test structure.
