Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If a single type of compensation unit is used for all signal lines, then the device complexity is reduced, but the manufacturing precision of load compensation deteriorates because different signal lines have different loads requiring different compensation amounts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidload compensation precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The compensation units are segmented into at least two different types (first compensation units and second compensation units) with different capacitance values. This segmentation allows different signal lines to receive appropriately matched compensation amounts, resolving the contradiction between device complexity and load compensation precision by introducing structural diversity only where needed for different compensation requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different compensation units with different capacitance values are selectively applied to different signal lines based on their specific load characteristics. This local quality approach ensures that each signal line receives the precise compensation it needs, improving overall load compensation precision without unnecessarily increasing device complexity across the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Area of stationary object

If camera device is integrated into display region, then the display region area is maximized, but the display consistency deteriorates due to varying signal line loads in different sub-pixel rows

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different compensation strategies to different sub-pixel rows based on their specific load characteristics. By analyzing the varying loads in rows affected by camera integration and applying tailored compensation, the patent maintains display consistency across the entire display region while preserving the maximized display area achieved through camera integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the compensation parameters (capacitance values) to match the varying signal line loads caused by camera integration. By adjusting compensation parameters according to the specific electrical characteristics of each signal line, the patent eliminates display inconsistencies while maintaining the integrated design that maximizes display region area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Stability of the object's composition

If compensation units are added to balance signal line loads, then the display consistency is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional components and routing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay consistencyVSAvoidcompensation structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments compensation units into different types with different capacitance values, allowing for more precise and efficient compensation. This segmentation reduces the number of compensation units needed compared to using only a single type, thereby improving display consistency while minimizing the increase in device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

By changing the capacitance parameters of compensation units to match specific load requirements, the patent achieves effective load balancing with fewer components. This parameter-based approach allows precise compensation without proportionally increasing device complexity, as each compensation unit is optimized for its specific function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
