Solution Overview

Problem

Current display panels with laser sensing structures face challenges in balancing increasing read time and controlling costs, as the number of read lines needed to enhance accuracy leads to higher costs and reduced signal reading accuracy with larger panel sizes.

Innovation Solution

The display panel incorporates alternately arranged scan and read lines, with sensing modules positioned at intersections, reducing the number of sensing modules required and allowing for increased read time without the need for additional read lines and circuits, thereby saving costs.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If the number of read lines is increased to increase read time of each sensing module, then the read time is improved, but the manufacturing cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a conventional row-column sensing module arrangement to a triangular distribution arrangement. This dimensional change in spatial organization allows sensing modules to be positioned at vertices of triangles formed by scan lines and read lines, effectively increasing read time without requiring additional read lines, thus resolving the contradiction between read time improvement and cost control.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements local optimization by positioning sensing modules at specific triangular vertex locations rather than uniform distribution. This localized strategic placement ensures that each sensing module operates within an optimal detection range, maintaining signal reading accuracy across the entire large panel area by ensuring at least one sensing module is always within effective detection distance of the light spot.
