Innovation Solution
Incorporating an inner hole in the base layer of the display device that forms an air-pocket and interfaces with the base layer, along with a line-free area and electrode-free areas, to prevent light interference and improve alignment reliability, and using a light non-transmissive layer to control light paths and reduce interference with pixel circuit components.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If light emitting elements are positioned close to pixel circuit components to improve display density, then area utilization is improved, but light interference with pixel circuit components increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a line-free area that segments the base layer into distinct regions: a pixel circuit formation area where pixel circuits are located, and a line-free area where lower lines are absent. This spatial segmentation prevents light interference by ensuring that light emitting elements positioned in the line-free area do not interfere with pixel circuit components in the pixel circuit formation area, while still maintaining high area utilization through efficient spatial arrangement.
2Ease of manufacture
If lower lines are extended across the entire base layer to simplify manufacturing, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but light interference with light emitting elements increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating a line-free area with specific properties (absence of lower lines) in a localized region of the base layer, while other regions maintain their standard structure with lower lines. This allows the light emitting elements in the line-free area to be free from light interference, while the rest of the device maintains manufacturing simplicity through the presence of lower lines in other areas.
3Volume of moving object
If pixel circuit components are positioned closer to light emitting elements to reduce device size, then device compactness is improved, but alignment precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves the alignment precision issue by transitioning to a three-dimensional arrangement where the line-free area is defined in the planar dimension, allowing light emitting elements to be positioned above this area at a different vertical level. This dimensional separation enables compact device size while maintaining sufficient alignment tolerance, as the light emitting elements are vertically positioned over the line-free area rather than requiring precise lateral alignment with pixel circuit components.
