Solution Overview

Problem

Existing mini-LED and micro-LED display devices face issues with insufficient alignment accuracy of lateral wires, leading to short circuits between adjacent wires due to misalignment during the laser etching process.

Innovation Solution

The display panel and device design includes specific dimensions and alignments for first and second wirings, with lateral wirings connecting them, ensuring that the maximum line width of lateral wirings is less than the difference between the minimum linear distance of first wirings and alignment deviation, and the maximum linear distance is less than the difference between the minimum line width and alignment deviation, preventing short circuits and ensuring proper connections.

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-defining precise dimensional relationships between lateral wires, front wires, and back wires before the laser etching process. The maximum line width of lateral wires and maximum linear distance between adjacent lateral wires are predetermined to be less than specific differences involving wire dimensions and alignment deviations, ensuring that even with alignment errors, short circuits cannot occur. This pre-planned dimensional design enables the subsequent laser etching to proceed efficiently without compromising alignment accuracy.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by transforming the alignment deviation parameter from a problematic variable into a design input. The maximum line width of lateral wires and maximum linear distance between lateral wires are set based on the alignment deviation between first and second wirings. Specifically, these dimensions are defined to be less than the difference between wire spacing and alignment deviation, converting the reliability concern into a straightforward dimensional specification that simplifies the overall wire layout design.

AI summary

Display panels and display devices are provided. In the display panel, a first line width is less than a difference between a second linear distance and an alignment deviation, and a first linear distance is less than a difference between a second line width and the alignment deviation, so that when lateral wirings deviate, there is at least one lateral wiring for connecting the first wiring and the second wiring corresponding arranged, thus the display panel can works normally, thereby improving a yield rate of the display panel.
