Display Panel Power Line Resistance Balancing for Uniform Emission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional OLED display panels face non-uniform resistance due to varying wiring methods, leading to non-uniform displays across the panel.
Innovation Solution
A display panel design featuring a first and second power supply voltage bonding terminal, with first and second power lines that connect light-emitting units in a manner where the resistance of one part of the first power line is greater than the second part, ensuring balanced resistance and reduced voltage drop differences between adjacent units.

1Area of stationary object
If wiring length is increased to cover the entire display panel, then the wiring can supply power to all light-emitting units, but the resistance increases leading to non-uniform voltage drop and non-uniform display
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply wiring is segmented into multiple independent power lines (first power line, second power line, third power line, etc.) that are distributed across different regions of the display panel. Each power line serves a specific area with light-emitting units, preventing the accumulation of excessive resistance that would occur in a single long wiring configuration. This segmentation ensures that voltage drop remains controlled within each local region.
Solution Approach 2:
Different power lines are configured with different resistance characteristics according to their local requirements. The patent specifically designs that when the resistance of the first part of the first power line is greater than the resistance of the second part of the first power line, the resistance of the first part of the second power line is less than the resistance of the second part of the second power line. This local optimization compensates for voltage drop variations and achieves uniform display across the entire panel.
2Device complexity
If single power line configuration is used to simplify the wiring structure, then the device complexity is reduced, but the voltage drop varies significantly across different areas leading to non-uniform display
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply system is divided into multiple parallel power lines instead of using a single power line. Each power line is responsible for a specific region, which maintains relatively simple local wiring while achieving comprehensive coverage. The segmented structure avoids the complexity of a single long wiring path while ensuring uniform power distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent designs the power lines to achieve equipotential distribution across different regions by balancing the resistance characteristics. Specifically, the resistance compensation mechanism ensures that voltage drops across different power lines are balanced, creating equipotential zones that eliminate display non-uniformity while maintaining a relatively simple wiring architecture.

AI summary
A display panel and an electronic device are provided. The display panel includes a first power supply voltage bonding terminal and a second power supply voltage bonding terminal; a first power line and a second power line; and a plurality of light-emitting units; wherein when resistance of a first part of the first power line is greater than resistance of a second part of the first power line, resistance of a first part of the second power line is less than resistance of a second part of the second power line, alleviating non-uniform display of the panel.
