Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If the size of GDL wires is increased to support large-size UHD display panels, then the display screen size and resolution are improved, but the capacitive and resistance loads increase, degrading display performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay screen sizeVSAvoidcapacitive and resistance loads
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The first wires are divided into multiple segments (first parts) with spaces between them, rather than being continuous. This segmentation reduces the overlapping area with second wires, thereby reducing planar capacitance and resistance-capacitance while maintaining the electrical connection function across the large display panel

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a vertical dimension by creating spaces (through holes or grooves) in the dielectric layer between the first and second wiring layers. This vertical separation reduces the capacitive coupling between adjacent wires in different layers, addressing the capacitive load issue in large-size panels

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

2Reliability

If the wire size is increased to maintain electrical connection in large-size panels, then the electrical connection is maintained, but the resistance load increases, affecting display performance

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the first wires into multiple parts with spaces between them, the patent reduces the overall resistance-capacitance product while maintaining electrical connectivity. The segmented structure reduces parasitic effects without compromising the fundamental electrical connection between the transmission unit and display unit

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The dielectric layer with embedded spaces acts as an intermediary structure between the first and second wiring layers. This intermediary structure provides electrical isolation while allowing controlled capacitance, thereby managing the resistance and capacitive loads in the wiring system

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
