Solution Overview

Problem

Current display technologies face challenges in optimizing the routing of signal lead-in lines in display panels, leading to inefficiencies in signal transmission and affecting display quality due to resistance differences and delays between signal paths.

Innovation Solution

The display panel design incorporates a configuration of signal lead-in lines and bridge portions, where signal lead-in lines are divided into sets and connected through bridge portions at different layers, optimizing wiring space and reducing signal interference by adjusting the layout and connections of signal lead-in lines and bridge portions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If signal lead-in lines are routed in conventional layouts, then wiring space utilization is poor, but signal transmission efficiency is reduced due to resistance differences and delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission efficiencyVSAvoidwiring layout complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The signal lead-in lines are divided into multiple line sets (first line set, second line set, etc.), with each line set containing multiple signal lead-in lines. This segmentation allows for organized routing where lines within each set are positioned adjacent to each other, reducing resistance differences while maintaining manageable wiring complexity through structured division.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Bridge portions are introduced to connect signal lead-in lines from different line sets across different spatial dimensions. The bridge portions enable connections between line sets that would otherwise be difficult to connect efficiently, optimizing the three-dimensional wiring layout to reduce signal transmission delays without significantly increasing planar wiring complexity.

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

2Reliability

If signal lead-in lines are positioned adjacent to each other, then resistance differences are reduced, but signal interference increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission reliabilityVSAvoidsignal interference
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Signal lead-in lines are grouped into distinct line sets, with each set containing lines positioned adjacent to each other for reduced resistance differences. The segmentation into multiple line sets allows for systematic management of signal routing, where bridge portions connect different sets to minimize interference while maintaining the benefits of adjacent positioning within each set.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Bridge portions serve as intermediary connection elements between different line sets. These bridge portions provide controlled connection paths that reduce signal interference between adjacent lines while maintaining electrical connectivity. The bridge portions act as mediators that manage the trade-off between proximity (for lower resistance) and separation (for reduced interference).

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
