Solution Overview

Problem

The compact layout of control circuits and power buses in display substrates, particularly in large-screen and narrow-frame display devices, leads to signal crosstalk issues due to limited layout space, affecting the accuracy of signal transmission and display quality.

Innovation Solution

The display substrate incorporates a base substrate with sub-pixels, power signal lines, and power signal buses, where the second power signal bus surrounds the first power signal bus in the peripheral region, effectively shielding it from electromagnetic interference and improving signal transmission accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If control circuits and power buses are compactly laid out to achieve large-screen and narrow-frame display devices, then the display area is increased and frame width is reduced, but signal crosstalk occurs due to limited layout space

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidsignal crosstalk
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A shielding layer is introduced as an intermediary component between the control circuits and power buses. This shielding layer acts as a mediator that blocks electromagnetic interference and prevents signal crosstalk while allowing the compact layout to be maintained. The shielding layer is disposed between the control circuit and the power bus, creating a protective barrier that eliminates the harmful electromagnetic coupling between adjacent circuits.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Length of stationary object

If control circuits and power buses are compactly laid out, then the frame width is reduced, but signal transmission accuracy deteriorates due to electromagnetic interference

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding layer serves as a protective intermediary that maintains signal transmission accuracy even in the compact narrow-frame configuration. By positioning the shielding layer between the control circuits and power buses, electromagnetic interference is blocked, ensuring that signal transmission accuracy is preserved despite the reduced frame width and increased circuit density.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Length of stationary object

If limited layout space is used to achieve narrow-frame design, then frame width is reduced, but signal crosstalk increases affecting display quality

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Length of stationary objectVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding layer is introduced as a protective intermediary that enables the narrow-frame design to be realized without suffering from signal crosstalk issues. The shielding layer is strategically positioned between the control circuits and power buses within the limited layout space, blocking electromagnetic interference and allowing the narrow-frame configuration to maintain high display quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The shielding layer is implemented as a thin film structure that can be integrated into the compact layout without significantly increasing the overall thickness or complexity of the display device. This thin film shielding approach allows the narrow-frame design to be achieved while providing effective electromagnetic interference protection within the constrained space.
