Solution Overview

Problem

Display devices exhibit non-uniform luminance due to differences in load values among lines of varying lengths, leading to inconsistencies in the final image.

Innovation Solution

A display device design incorporating dummy parts to compensate for load value differences between lines, with specific dummy parts connected to lines in sub-regions to balance load values, and including parasitic capacitors and dummy pixels to enhance uniformity.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If lines are extended to cover larger display regions, then the coverage area is improved, but load value differences cause luminance non-uniformity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay region coverageVSAvoidluminance uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by configuring different dummy part arrangements in different display regions. Specifically, first dummy parts are arranged in a first pattern in the first display region, while second dummy parts are arranged in a second pattern in the second display region. This regional differentiation compensates for the varying line load values in different areas, maintaining luminance uniformity across the entire display while preserving the extended coverage area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If dummy parts are added to compensate for load value differences, then luminance uniformity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveluminance uniformityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by systematically varying the dummy part configuration parameters across different display regions. The first dummy parts and second dummy parts have different arrangement patterns that correspond to the specific line load characteristics of each region. This parameter-based approach achieves luminance uniformity through controlled variations rather than adding complex compensatory mechanisms, thereby improving luminance consistency while managing structural complexity.
