Solution Overview

Problem

Existing display apparatuses face challenges in reducing the peripheral area (dead space) without adversely affecting the quality of light emitted from light-emitting diodes, as elements in the peripheral area can impact the display quality.

Innovation Solution

The display apparatus is designed with a substrate that includes a display area and a peripheral area, featuring a common voltage supply line with multiple input parts and voltage lines arranged in specific configurations to minimize the peripheral area while maintaining high-quality image display, utilizing different layers and connector arrangements for the voltage lines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of stationary object

If elements are arranged in the peripheral area to reduce dead space, then the peripheral area is reduced, but the quality of light emitted from light-emitting diodes is adversely affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperipheral areaVSAvoidquality of light emission
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The common voltage supply line is divided into multiple input parts (first, second, and third common voltage input parts) arranged at different locations in the peripheral area. This segmentation allows the voltage to be distributed through multiple paths, reducing the overall peripheral area required while maintaining stable voltage supply to light-emitting diodes, thus resolving the contradiction between reducing dead space and maintaining light emission quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a third common voltage input part positioned between the first and second common voltage input parts in the peripheral area. This additional dimension of voltage input arrangement optimizes the spatial distribution of voltage supply, reducing the peripheral area footprint while ensuring consistent voltage delivery to light-emitting diodes, thereby reducing dead space without compromising light quality.

2Area of moving object

If the display area increases, then the peripheral area should be reduced, but arranging elements in the peripheral area adversely affects light-emitting diode performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay areaVSAvoidlight-emitting diode quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting the common voltage supply into multiple input parts distributed across the peripheral area, the patent enables larger display areas without requiring excessive peripheral space. The segmented voltage supply structure maintains stable voltage delivery to light-emitting diodes even as the display area expands, thus resolving the contradiction between increasing display area and maintaining light emission quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by positioning the third common voltage input part specifically between the first and second common voltage input parts in the peripheral area. This localized optimization of voltage supply distribution ensures that light-emitting diodes receive stable voltage regardless of display area size, allowing maximum display area utilization while preserving light emission quality.
