Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic devices with near-field communication technology face challenges in integrating a near-field communication antenna without increasing device size and causing electromagnetic interference, which hinders lightweight design and display performance.

Innovation Solution

The near-field communication antenna is integrated into the display panel's color film substrate, with its coil structure partially located in the display area and orthographically positioned within the non-channel region of the array substrate, minimizing electromagnetic interference and reducing the border width.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of stationary object

If the near-field communication antenna is integrated into the display panel, then the device size can be reduced and lightweight design is supported, but electromagnetic interference with display performance may occur

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by positioning the NFC antenna's coil structure specifically within the non-channel region of the array substrate, where it does not interfere with display pixel channels. This localized placement allows the antenna to function while avoiding electromagnetic interference with the display area, resolving the contradiction between integration and interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes the vertical dimension (depth layer) to resolve the contradiction. By placing the coil structure in the non-channel region on the array substrate and integrating it with the color film substrate, the design uses spatial layers to separate NFC functionality from display channels, enabling integration without electromagnetic interference.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent positions the coil structure within the non-channel region, which is a specific local area designed for such integrations. This localized placement allows the antenna to be incorporated without expanding the border width while avoiding interference with the display channels in other regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the NFC antenna integration with the existing array substrate and color film substrate structure. By combining the coil structure placement with the non-channel region of the array substrate, the design achieves border reduction while maintaining display quality through integrated design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 1:

The patent distinguishes between different regions of the array substrate: the channel region for display pixels and the non-channel region for antenna integration. By localizing the coil structure to the non-channel region, the design maintains antenna functionality while avoiding electromagnetic interference with display channels.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the array substrate into channel regions and non-channel regions. This segmentation allows the coil structure to be placed in the non-channel region, separating NFC functionality from display channels and preventing electromagnetic interference while maintaining both functions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
