Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If bilaterally symmetrical Gate On Array (GOA) model design is used, then device complexity is reduced, but wiring space is restricted and it is difficult to achieve narrow frame and high resolution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit design complexityVSAvoidwiring space
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs asymmetric clock signal timing for different gate lines. Specifically, odd-numbered gate lines use a first clock signal with a first valid level duration, while even-numbered gate lines use a second clock signal with a second valid level duration. This asymmetric design allows optimization of signal transmission timing for different regions, improving overall display performance while enabling narrower frames and higher resolution without increasing device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

2Ease of manufacture

If bilaterally symmetrical GOA design is used, then manufacturing is simplified, but it is difficult to meet high refresh rate requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecircuit manufacturing easeVSAvoidrefresh rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic clock signal timing where the valid level duration of clock signals varies depending on the gate line number. Odd-numbered gate lines receive clock signals with one duration, while even-numbered gate lines receive clock signals with another duration. This dynamic timing adjustment optimizes the refresh rate for different regions of the display panel, enabling high refresh rates while maintaining ease of manufacture through a unified circuit architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If clock signal valid level durations are made equal, then circuit design is simplified, but driving ability of gate lines becomes unbalanced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclock signal control complexityVSAvoiddriving signal balance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality optimization by assigning different clock signal valid level durations to different gate lines based on their specific requirements. Odd-numbered gate lines use a first clock signal duration, while even-numbered gate lines use a second clock signal duration. This localized timing adjustment ensures balanced driving ability across all gate lines, improving display uniformity and reliability while keeping the overall circuit design manageable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
