Solution Overview

Problem

The increased number of fanout wirings required for high-resolution OLED displays necessitates more space in the active area, challenging the reduction of frame width and increasing wiring complexity.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of winding line segments in the display region of the connection line between the driver assembly and multiplex circuit, reducing the number of connection lines and optimizing the layout to minimize wiring space and interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If fanout wirings are routed from the active area to connect data lines, then the footprint of fanout wiring in the lower frame area is reduced, but the wiring space within the active area increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefootprint of fanout wiring in lower frame areaVSAvoidwiring space within active area
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSArea of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The connection line is routed through the circuit region (a different spatial dimension/zone) rather than staying within the active area, thereby reducing the wiring space occupation in the active area while maintaining connectivity to data lines

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

2Measurement precision

If the number of data lines is increased to achieve high-resolution display, then the display resolution is improved, but the number of fanout wirings and wiring space requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay resolutionVSAvoidwiring complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple data lines are merged through the multiplex circuit, allowing a reduced number of physical connection lines to serve multiple data lines, thereby reducing wiring complexity while maintaining high display resolution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The multiplex circuit acts as an intermediary between the connection lines and data lines, enabling signal multiplexing that reduces the number of required connection lines while supporting high-resolution displays with many data lines

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
