Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display technologies face challenges in achieving uniformity of display brightness due to voltage drop issues in power supply voltage signals, leading to uneven brightness across the display area.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of multiple first signal terminals and corresponding signal lines in a display panel, with a higher number of terminals arranged away from the edge, to improve transmission efficiency and reduce voltage drop, thereby enhancing brightness uniformity.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If multiple first signal terminals are introduced to improve transmission rate and reduce voltage drop, then display brightness uniformity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay brightness uniformityVSAvoidnumber of signal terminals and signal lines
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the power supply signal transmission into multiple segments by introducing multiple first signal terminals (first group and second group) with corresponding signal lines. This segmentation allows the power voltage signal to be transmitted through multiple parallel paths, reducing the voltage drop in each segment and improving overall brightness uniformity across the display panel.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent arranges signal terminals in two groups along the first direction with different distributions, and extends signal lines along the second direction perpendicular to the first direction. This multi-dimensional arrangement creates a more efficient transmission network that reduces voltage drop without significantly increasing overall complexity.

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

2Speed

If more first signal terminals are arranged away from the edge, then voltage drop is reduced and transmission rate is improved, but the arrangement complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission rate of power voltage signalVSAvoidarrangement of signal terminals
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different arrangement strategies to different regions of the display panel. The first group of signal terminals is arranged along the first direction with specific spacing, while the second group is distributed differently. This local differentiation optimizes the transmission rate in various regions while managing the overall arrangement complexity through systematic patterns.
