Electronic Panel Hole Region Light Shielding Pattern
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic panels and apparatuses face challenges in aesthetics due to the expansion of bezel regions caused by accommodating electronic modules, which affects the visual appeal and design flexibility.
Innovation Solution
The electronic panel design includes a base substrate with a hole transmissive region and a light shielding region, featuring a light shielding pattern on the rear surface of the encapsulation substrate, which overlaps the electronic module and reduces the bezel region's size, improving aesthetics by maintaining light transmittance and shielding signal wires.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If electronic modules are accommodated in the display region, then functionality is enhanced, but the bezel region expands and aesthetics deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent moves the electronic module from the front display region to the rear surface of the display panel, utilizing the z-dimension (depth) rather than the x-y plane. This allows the module to be accommodated without expanding the visible bezel region, as it is positioned behind the display surface where it does not interfere with the visual display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic module is nested within the structure of the display panel itself, specifically positioned in the rear surface region. This nesting approach allows the module to be integrated into the panel's internal structure rather than adding external bulk, maintaining a sleek appearance while providing enhanced functionality.
2Shape
If light shielding pattern is added to reduce bezel region, then aesthetics improve, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The light shielding pattern is merged with the existing encapsulation substrate structure. By forming the light shielding pattern directly on or as part of the encapsulation substrate that already covers the rear surface, the patent combines two functions (encapsulation and light shielding) into a single integrated component, reducing the number of separate manufacturing steps and materials required.
Solution Approach 2:
The encapsulation substrate serves multiple functions: it protects the rear surface of the display panel, provides structural support, and acts as a light shielding pattern to define the bezel region. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components and simplifies the overall manufacturing process.
