Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a gate driving circuit is integrated onto a base substrate in display products, then the frame can be narrowed and the process can be simplified, but heat dissipation issues occur causing display brightness uniformity problems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit integrationVSAvoidheat dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the base substrate into distinct functional regions: a display area containing sub-pixels and a non-display area containing the gate driving circuit. This spatial segmentation isolates the heat-generating circuit from the heat-sensitive display region, allowing independent optimization of each area without mutual interference.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the gate driving circuit from the display area and relocates it to the non-display area of the base substrate. By removing the heat source from proximity to the sub-pixels, the circuit can be integrated onto the substrate without causing brightness uniformity issues in the display region.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Device complexity

If the gate driving circuit is placed close to sub-pixels for integration, then device complexity is reduced, but heat from the circuit affects sub-pixel brightness uniformity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit integrationVSAvoidheat influence on sub-pixels
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the substrate into a display area and a non-display area, with the gate driving circuit positioned in the non-display area. This spatial separation eliminates the harmful thermal influence on sub-pixels while maintaining circuit integration benefits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a voltage adjustment circuit as an intermediary component between the gate driving circuit and the sub-pixels. This intermediary compensates for voltage changes caused by thermal effects, thereby maintaining display brightness uniformity even when the circuit is integrated nearby.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
