Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a conventional shift register is used to drive pixel circuits, then the display device can operate with basic driving capability, but the output signal becomes unstable and affects display effect

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput signal stabilityVSAvoidshift register structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The shift register is divided into multiple independent output modules (first output module and second output module), each with dedicated control circuits. This segmentation allows independent control and optimization of each output path, improving overall signal stability while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic control of output modules through node control that adjusts potentials of control nodes based on driving state. The output modules can be dynamically switched on or off, and their control signals are adjusted in real-time to maintain stable output under different operating conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the shift register operates under different driving states, then the display device can adapt to various display requirements, but the output signal stability deteriorates due to abnormal disconnection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedriving state adaptabilityVSAvoidoutput signal stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The node control module continuously monitors and adjusts the potentials of control nodes based on the actual driving state. This feedback mechanism ensures that the output modules remain properly connected and controlled under varying driving conditions, preventing abnormal disconnection and maintaining signal stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the potential parameters of control nodes dynamically according to different driving states. By adjusting these voltage parameters, the output modules can adapt to different display requirements while maintaining stable operation and preventing disconnection issues

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
