Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the resolution of the display panel is increased, then the display quality is improved, but the layout space becomes smaller making it difficult to connect initialization signal line patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a first auxiliary signal line layer above the initialization signal line layer to establish signal transmission paths in a vertical dimension. This multi-layer approach allows initialization signal line patterns in the same row to be connected through the auxiliary layer without requiring additional lateral space in the planarization layer, thus resolving the space constraint imposed by high resolution requirements.
2Reliability
If additional via holes are added to connect initialization signal line patterns, then signal connectivity is improved, but manufacturing complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The first auxiliary signal line layer is formed in advance during the manufacturing process, before the initialization signal line patterns require connection. This preliminary structure provides pre-established connection paths that simplify subsequent manufacturing steps, avoiding the need to add complex via hole structures later in the process.
Solution Approach 2:
The first auxiliary signal line layer acts as an intermediary structure between the initialization signal line patterns and the planarization layer. It provides a mediating connection path that eliminates the need for direct via hole connections through the planarization layer, thereby reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining signal connectivity.
3Area of stationary object
If the layout space is reduced, then high resolution is achieved, but the difficulty of connecting signal lines increases
Solution Approach 1:
By utilizing the vertical dimension through the first auxiliary signal line layer, the patent enables signal line connections without requiring additional lateral layout space. This dimensional transition allows high resolution to be achieved while maintaining ease of manufacture through the auxiliary layer's connection paths.
