Solution Overview

Problem

Current display panel designs with multiple layers of metal wirings are prone to short circuits, leading to increased costs and manufacturing challenges.

Innovation Solution

The display panel design incorporates a single layer for the grounding signal wiring, driving chip input output signal wiring, and power line, ensuring they do not intersect, thereby preventing short circuits.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If metal wirings are disposed in two or more layers, then wiring functionality is improved, but short circuit risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring functionalityVSAvoidshort circuit risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a multi-layer vertical arrangement to a single-layer planar arrangement, using spatial dimensionality change to resolve the contradiction. All wirings (power supply wiring, grounding signal wiring, input output signal wiring) are disposed in the same layer but arranged in different directions, eliminating vertical intersections that cause short circuits while maintaining wiring functionality through directional separation.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple layers of metal wirings are used, then signal routing capability is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal routing capabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple wiring layers into a single layer, combining power supply wiring, grounding signal wiring, and input output signal wiring in the same plane. This merging reduces manufacturing complexity by eliminating layer stacking processes while maintaining signal routing capability through strategic directional arrangement and spacing of different wiring types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A display panel is provided, including a grounding signal wiring, driving chips, a driving chip input output signal wiring, and a power line. A grounding signal pin is connected to the grounding signal wiring. The driving chip input output signal wiring is configured to connect a stage-transfer signal input pin and a stage-transfer signal output pin of two adjacent driving chips. The grounding signal wiring, the driving chip input output signal wiring, and the power line are disposed in a same layer and do not intersect with each other.
