Display Panel Component Area Wiring Detour
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Display devices face challenges in integrating components like sensors or cameras within the display area while maintaining high resolution and light transmittance, as existing designs often compromise on image quality and functionality due to the arrangement of pixels and wirings.
Innovation Solution
A display panel design with a substrate featuring a component area surrounded by a display area, including pixel groups, transmission areas, and wirings that detour around the component area to maintain high transmittance and image quality, allowing for the integration of components like sensors or cameras without reducing the display's functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If components are integrated within the display area, then functionality is improved, but image quality and resolution deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The component area is divided into a first area for pixel groups and a second area for transmission areas surrounding the first area. This segmentation allows components to be integrated in the first area while maintaining display quality in the second area that surrounds it.
Solution Approach 2:
Different areas have different functions: the first area contains pixel groups for component integration, while the second area maintains high transmittance for display quality. The display area surrounding the component area also has optimized characteristics for image display.
2Adaptability or versatility
If components are integrated within the display area, then functionality is improved, but light transmittance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The component area is segmented into a first area for pixel groups and a second area for transmission areas. The transmission areas are specifically designed to surround the pixel groups, creating dedicated light transmission paths that avoid component interference.
Solution Approach 2:
The transmission areas act as intermediary regions between the pixel groups and the display area. These transmission areas have optimized transmittance characteristics, allowing light to pass through efficiently while the pixel groups perform component functions.
3Device complexity
If wirings are arranged directly through the component area, then device complexity is reduced, but image quality deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The wirings extend in a detoured manner around the first area rather than in straight lines. This curved or detoured path allows wirings to bypass the component area, avoiding interference with pixel groups and transmission areas while maintaining electrical connectivity.
