Solution Overview

Problem

Current display technologies face challenges in reducing parasitic capacitance between data transfer lines and reset control lines, leading to signal interference and poor display performance, particularly in wearable electronic products like smartwatches.

Innovation Solution

A display substrate design that includes a first shielding wire positioned between the reset control line and data transfer line, reducing parasitic capacitance and signal interference by overlapping or strategically placing the shielding wire to shield the data transfer line from signal jumps caused by the reset control line.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If a data transfer line is positioned close to a reset control line for compact layout, then device area is reduced, but parasitic capacitance between the lines increases causing signal interference

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

Solution Approach 1:

A shielding wire is introduced as an intermediary element positioned between the data transfer line and the reset control line. This shielding wire acts as a mediator that blocks the electromagnetic field coupling between the two signal lines, thereby reducing parasitic capacitance and preventing signal interference while allowing the lines to remain in close proximity for compact layout

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If signal lines are arranged in close proximity for compact design, then manufacturing complexity is reduced, but signal quality deteriorates due to parasitic capacitance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverouting complexityVSAvoidsignal integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding wire serves as a protective intermediary that maintains signal integrity between closely spaced routing lines. By positioning the shielding wire between the data transfer line and reset control line, the design achieves compact routing without compromising signal quality, as the shielding wire blocks parasitic capacitance effects

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of manufacture

If no shielding structure is used to simplify manufacturing, then manufacturing cost is reduced, but display performance deteriorates due to V-shaped illumination issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoiddisplay uniformity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The shielding wire acts as a simple yet effective intermediary structure that can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes. While it adds a minor manufacturing step, it significantly improves display uniformity by preventing signal interference that causes V-shaped illumination defects, thereby achieving better display performance with minimal manufacturing complexity increase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
