Electronic Card Display Panel Layout for Area Maximization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge in designing electronic cards with display panels is to maximize the display area while accommodating other essential components within the limited surface area, as larger display panels provide better user interfaces but are constrained by the placement of chips, control units, and other elements.
Innovation Solution
The electronic card design positions the display panel near three sides of a substrate's first surface, allowing for a wider disposition area, and optionally overlaps or places other components like the control unit and battery on the second surface, enabling a larger display panel size without compromising functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If the display panel area is increased to provide better user interface, then the user interface quality is improved, but the available space for other components (chip, control unit, etc.) is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the third dimension by disposing components on both the first surface and second surface of the substrate. The display panel is disposed on the first surface near three sides, while other components such as the control unit and battery are disposed on the second surface, effectively doubling the available space for component arrangement and enabling a larger display panel area.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent arranges components in a nested-like configuration where the display panel occupies the perimeter area near three sides of the first surface, while other components are nested within the remaining central area or on the opposite surface, maximizing space utilization.
2Area of moving object
If the display panel is disposed near three sides of the substrate, then the disposition area of the display panel is widened, but the arrangement space for other components is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent resolves this spatial conflict by transitioning to three-dimensional arrangement, disposing the display panel on the first surface near three sides while placing other components on the second surface of the substrate, effectively separating the spatial requirements of different components.

AI summary
An electronic card including a substrate and a display panel is provided. The substrate has a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, a third side and a fourth side opposite to the third side, wherein the first surface and the second surface are surrounded by the first side, the second side, the third side and the fourth side. The display panel is disposed on the first surface and is roughly near the first side, the third side and the fourth side. Therefore, a disposition area of the display panel is wider.
