Solution Overview

Problem

In display devices with integrated touch functionality, high-frequency impulse voltage signals used for touch recognition often cause coupling disturbances to other signal lines, leading to inaccurate signal transmission and compromised display quality.

Innovation Solution

The display substrate incorporates a first and second common voltage line in the peripheral area, surrounded by an integrated circuit that provides identical display signals during the display stage and identical touch signals during the touch stage, ensuring consistent signal transmission without coupling disturbances.

1Measurement precision

If high-frequency impulse voltage signals are used for touch recognition, then touch sensitivity is improved, but coupling disturbances to other signal lines occur leading to inaccurate signal transmission

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces common voltage lines as intermediary elements that mediate between the touch signal lines and the display signal lines. These common voltage lines act as a buffer zone, receiving both touch and display signals simultaneously to equalize potential differences and prevent coupling disturbances. This intermediary structure allows high-frequency impulse voltage signals to be used for touch recognition while maintaining accurate signal transmission by providing a reference potential that isolates the two signal types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple separate signal lines are used for touch and display functions, then signal transmission accuracy is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements multi-functionality by designing common voltage lines that serve dual purposes: they provide reference potentials for display signal transmission and simultaneously serve as signal lines for touch recognition. This universal structure allows the same physical infrastructure to support both touch and display functions, reducing the total number of separate signal lines needed while maintaining signal transmission accuracy through proper potential equalization.
