VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional 7T1C pixel driving circuit is used, then the device complexity is lower, but the image display quality is insufficient due to inability to provide stable bias voltage during low-frequency driving

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage display qualityVSAvoidpixel driving circuit structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bias signal line is segmented into multiple sublines (first bias signal subline and second bias signal subline) that extend in different directions. This segmentation allows the bias voltage to be transmitted through multiple parallel paths, reducing the impact of coupling interference from other signal lines while maintaining stable bias voltage supply to the drive transistor during low-frequency driving operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If bias signal lines are arranged in a conventional single-direction manner, then the layout is simpler, but the signal transmission stability is reduced due to increased coupling interference

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission stabilityVSAvoidsignal line arrangement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bias signal lines are arranged in two different directions (first direction and second direction) instead of a single direction. This dimensional change creates spatial separation between bias signal lines and other signal lines, reducing electromagnetic coupling interference while maintaining signal transmission stability. The intersection of these directional lines provides multiple transmission paths for bias voltage.
