Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing display panel technologies face challenges in accommodating multiple resolutions without requiring redesign and additional production costs for driver integrated circuits, as they are typically matched to specific resolutions, limiting the use of display panels with different sizes or resolutions.
Innovation Solution
The display panel is designed with a substrate divided into multiple display areas, featuring first and second electrode series and conducting wires, allowing for flexible coupling with control modules supporting different resolutions, enabling the use of display panels with varying resolutions without the need for additional driver integrated circuits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the display panel resolution is matched to the driver IC resolution, then the display panel can display images properly, but the manufacturer incurs extra production costs for redesigning and producing driver ICs when producing multiple display panels with different resolutions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal driver IC design that can control display panels with different resolutions (e.g., 128×128, 64×256) through a standard interface. The driver IC contains a control module that can be configured to drive various resolution displays, eliminating the need for dedicated driver ICs for each resolution type and reducing manufacturing costs while maintaining proper display functionality
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple display panels with different resolutions are produced, then product variety is increased, but the manufacturer faces extra production costs for redesigning and producing driver ICs
Solution Approach 1:
The driver IC is designed with universal control capabilities that support multiple display resolutions through a single device. The control module within the driver IC can be programmed or configured to accommodate different resolution requirements, allowing manufacturers to produce various display panel resolutions without increasing driver IC variety or complexity
3Manufacturing precision
If a display panel with 64×256 resolution is used with a driver IC with 128×128 resolution, then resolution mismatch occurs and the display panel cannot be used
Solution Approach 1:
The driver IC incorporates a control module that can change its operating parameters to match different display resolutions. The system allows dynamic adjustment of control signals and timing parameters to accommodate various resolution configurations (128×128, 64×256, and others), ensuring proper functionality without requiring exact resolution matching between driver IC and display panel
