1Productivity

If adjacent pixels are disposed close to each other to increase pixel density, then productivity and display resolution are improved, but interference between pixels occurs causing display quality degradation

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A voltage line is introduced as an intermediary element positioned between the anode of one pixel and the connecting part of the gate electrode of an adjacent pixel. This voltage line acts as a mediator that prevents direct interference between adjacent pixels while allowing them to be disposed close together, thus maintaining high pixel density without compromising display quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the pixel structure by separating the anode and gate electrode connecting parts with a voltage line, creating distinct electrical zones. This segmentation prevents the interference that would occur if these elements were directly adjacent, allowing high-density pixel arrangement while maintaining signal integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If the gate electrode is directly connected without intermediate structures to simplify the design, then device complexity is reduced, but interference between adjacent pixels disrupts the target voltage and luminance

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The voltage line serves as a simple intermediary component that maintains target voltage stability without significantly increasing device complexity. It is positioned between interfering elements and provides electrical isolation while maintaining signal integrity, ensuring reliable voltage delivery to the gate electrode

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The voltage line is disposed in a different spatial arrangement relative to the anode and gate electrode connecting parts, utilizing the planar layout to create separation. By positioning the voltage line between these elements in the planar view, the patent achieves interference prevention with minimal additional structural complexity
