Flexible Display Module Multi-Directional Wire Routing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The display areas of existing wearable devices are small, making them inadequate for effective touch operations by users.
Innovation Solution
A display module comprising a flexible OLED display screen and a flexible printed circuit board, where the display screen has sides electrically connected in different directions to the circuit board, allowing wires to be led out from both sides, reducing the peripheral area and expanding the display area, improving concentricity and heat dissipation, and enhancing user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of moving object
If wires are led out from one side of the display screen, then the connection is simple, but the peripheral area is large and the display area is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a single-sided wire connection to a multi-directional connection structure. Wires are led out from both the first side and the second side of the display screen in different directions, utilizing spatial dimensionality to reduce the peripheral area occupied by wires and increase the display area.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection structure is segmented into multiple independent wire paths. Instead of all wires exiting from one side, the wires are divided into groups that exit from different sides of the display screen, distributing the connection load and reducing peripheral area occupation.
2Stability of the object's composition
If wires are concentrated on one side, then the connection is simple, but the concentricity is poor and heat dissipation is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs asymmetric wire distribution where wires are strategically positioned on different sides of the display screen rather than symmetrically concentrated on one side. This asymmetric layout improves concentricity by balancing the weight and thermal distribution around the display center.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the display module are assigned different wire connection qualities. Wires are led out from specific sides based on local requirements for heat dissipation and concentricity, rather than using a uniform connection approach throughout.
