Solution Overview

Problem

As display substrate sizes increase, arranging wires on the side of the glass substrate to form circuits becomes increasingly difficult, making it challenging to connect display circuits effectively.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a display substrate with an array circuit layer, a connecting substrate with a binding circuit layer and a connecting circuit layer, and a control unit, where the connecting substrate is fixed to the display substrate, and the circuit layers are electrically connected to facilitate circuit formation and connection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If wires are arranged on the side of the glass substrate to form circuits, then display circuits can be connected to the side or rear of the glass substrate, but as the display substrate size increases, the circuit preparation becomes increasingly difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconnection capabilityVSAvoidcircuit preparation difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the circuit system into multiple independent substrates: a display substrate for displaying images and a separate connecting substrate for forming circuits. This segmentation allows the circuit preparation to be performed on a dedicated substrate rather than on the side of a large display substrate, thereby maintaining ease of manufacture while preserving connection capability. The connecting substrate can be independently processed and then connected to the display substrate through binding circuits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If wires are arranged on the side of the glass substrate, then circuits can be formed for connection, but the process becomes impractical for large-sized substrates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit connection easeVSAvoidsubstrate structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The invention transitions from a two-dimensional arrangement where circuits are formed on the side surface of the display substrate to a three-dimensional configuration using a separate connecting substrate. This allows circuits to be formed on a dedicated substrate in a separate processing plane, making the operation easier while managing structural complexity through modular design. The connecting substrate acts as an intermediary that bridges the display substrate and external circuits without requiring complex side-surface wiring on large substrates.

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