Solution Overview

Problem

High-resolution display screens face challenges in increasing bonding precision and reducing bonding difficulty due to the need for more pins, which complicates the electrical connection between the display panel and the flexible circuit board.

Innovation Solution

The display panel design includes a bonding region with first and second pins disposed on opposite surfaces, allowing for increased pin density while maintaining bonding accuracy and reducing complexity by using transmission lines on different film layers, thereby enhancing the electrical connection and signal transmission.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If the bonding width of the flexible circuit board is increased to increase the number of golden fingers, then the number of pins can be increased to support higher resolution, but the bonding precision is reduced and bonding difficulty is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of pinsVSAvoidbonding precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transitions from a single-sided pin arrangement to a double-sided pin arrangement, utilizing both the front surface and back surface of the bonding region. This dimensional change allows pins to be distributed across two surfaces, effectively doubling the pin capacity without increasing the bonding width, thereby maintaining bonding precision while supporting higher resolution displays

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

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding region is segmented into two distinct surfaces (front and back), each carrying its own set of pins. This segmentation allows the pins to be divided into two groups, with each group independently bonded to corresponding golden fingers on the flexible circuit board, reducing the density requirement on each individual bonding surface and maintaining bonding precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If the bonding width of the flexible circuit board is increased to increase the number of golden fingers, then the number of pins can be increased to support higher resolution, but the bonding difficulty is increased

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of pinsVSAvoidbonding difficulty
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

By utilizing the back surface of the bonding region in addition to the front surface, the patent creates two independent bonding interfaces. This allows the bonding process to be divided into two separate, manageable operations rather than one complex high-density bonding operation, thereby reducing overall bonding difficulty while accommodating more pins

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

Solution Approach 2:

The bonding process is segmented into two independent bonding operations: one for the front surface pins and one for the back surface pins. Each bonding operation involves a smaller number of pins with lower density requirements, making each individual bonding process easier to execute with standard equipment and procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
