Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the vertical dimension by creating a double-layer wiring structure where power supply lines are positioned in overlapping areas between the source-drain metal layer and touch metal layer. This three-dimensional arrangement enhances electrical connectivity by providing multiple conduction paths while managing interference through spatial separation in the vertical dimension.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by positioning power supply lines specifically in overlapping areas between different metal layers rather than uniformly distributing them. This localized arrangement optimizes electrical connectivity in critical regions while minimizing overall interference between wiring layers through selective placement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Reliability

If double-layer wiring structure is integrated, then electrical connectivity is improved, but manufacturing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveelectrical connectivityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wiring structure into distinct layers (source-drain metal layer and touch metal layer) with power supply lines positioned in overlapping areas between them. This segmentation allows for improved electrical connectivity through multiple conduction paths while managing manufacturing complexity by organizing conductors into separate, manageable layers that can be processed independently.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends power supply lines through the fan-out region and bonding pin region in the vertical dimension, positioning them between metal layers to achieve enhanced electrical connectivity while managing spatial relationships with isolation dams through three-dimensional routing.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by extending power supply lines through specific regions (fan-out region and bonding pin region) where enhanced connectivity is needed, while carefully managing overlap with isolation dams through selective positioning in overlapping areas between metal layers.

Inventive Principle:
