Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional noise test apparatuses cannot effectively test electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise of display panels before they are assembled into end products, leading to delayed defect detection and reduced testing efficiency due to their inability to correspond with the inner antenna structures of end products.

Innovation Solution

A noise test apparatus comprising multiple antennas positioned on a base plate with an insulating ground plate to receive electromagnetic waves from display panels, allowing for the analysis of EMI noise along various directions, enabling early defect detection during the manufacturing process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If conventional testing jigs are used to test EMI noise, then EMI noise of end products can be tested, but defect detection is delayed until after assembly and testing efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedefect detection timingVSAvoidtesting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by enabling EMI noise testing of display panels before they are assembled into end products. The testing jig is designed to test the display panel independently, allowing defects to be detected early in the manufacturing process rather than after assembly, thus preventing rework and improving overall productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional testing jig structure is used, then testing can be performed, but the structure does not correspond to inner antenna structure of end products reducing testing efficiency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure compatibilityVSAvoidtesting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by designing the testing jig with a ground plate structure that corresponds to the inner antenna structure of end products. The ground plate is positioned and dimensioned to match the specific geometry and location of antennas within the display panel, creating a localized testing environment that accurately replicates real-world conditions and improves testing efficiency
