Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display module manufacturing processes face challenges in process yield and reliability due to the mismatch in manufacturing accuracy between circuit boards and display substrates, leading to longer wire lengths and smaller bonding angles that compromise the wire bonding process.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of two rows of circuit board pads on a circuit board, with alternating arrangements and staggered configurations, allows for more concentrated pad placement, reducing the width of the bonding region and increasing the bonding angle, thereby enhancing the reliability of the wire bonding process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional single-row circuit board pad arrangement is used, then the manufacturing process is simple, but the wire length is long and bonding angle is small, reducing process yield and reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewire bonding reliabilityVSAvoidcircuit board pad arrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The circuit board pads are divided into two rows instead of using a single row arrangement. This segmentation allows the pads to be distributed more compactly in the vertical direction, reducing the horizontal distance to substrate pads and thereby shortening wire length while improving bonding angle and reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The pad arrangement transitions from a single-row linear layout to a two-row spatial configuration. By utilizing the vertical dimension more effectively, the pads are positioned closer to the substrate pads, reducing wire length and improving bonding geometry without significantly increasing overall complexity

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

2Manufacturing precision

If circuit board pads are arranged further from substrate pads, then the bonding region width is larger, but the wire length increases and bonding angle decreases, compromising bonding quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebonding precisionVSAvoidwire length
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The two-row pad arrangement creates localized bonding regions with optimized geometry. Each pad position is strategically configured to achieve optimal bonding angle and minimal wire length, improving manufacturing precision at critical bonding locations without requiring uniform changes across the entire structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
