Solution Overview

Problem

Current display screens face challenges in achieving full-screen designs due to components like cameras and sensors occupying display areas, leading to reduced light transmittance and visual effects, and existing solutions compromise display quality with lower PPI and increased grating effects.

Innovation Solution

A display substrate design with interconnected first and second connection lines on opposite sides of light-emitting elements, reducing wiring space and improving light transmittance while maintaining high resolution and reducing grating effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If connection lines are arranged on one side of light-emitting elements, then wiring layout is simple, but light transmittance is reduced and grating effect increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring layout simplicityVSAvoidlight transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

The connection lines are distributed on both sides of the light-emitting elements in the vertical direction, transitioning from a one-sided arrangement to a two-sided arrangement. This dimensional change allows connection lines to be positioned away from the light transmission path, improving light transmittance while reducing grating effects, without complicating the wiring layout excessively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Device complexity

If connection lines are positioned close to light-emitting elements for compact wiring, then device complexity is reduced, but light transmittance decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring structure complexityVSAvoidlight transmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSIllumination intensity

Solution Approach 1:

By utilizing the vertical dimension to position connection lines on both sides of the light-emitting elements, the patent achieves compact wiring without blocking the light transmission path. This spatial arrangement improves light transmittance while keeping the wiring structure relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The connection lines are segmented into multiple parts (first connection lines and second connection lines) positioned on different sides of the light-emitting elements. This segmentation allows each connection line to be optimized for its specific position, improving overall light transmittance while maintaining wiring simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If display area is reduced to accommodate camera components, then sensor functionality is maintained, but display quality and PPI are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesensor functionalityVSAvoiddisplay quality and PPI
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes the vertical dimension to arrange connection lines on both sides of the light-emitting elements, which allows for optimized wiring layout that reduces grating effects and maintains display quality even when camera components occupy display area. This dimensional arrangement helps preserve effective display area and PPI.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
