Image Compensation Element for Frameless Touch Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The high cost of large touch control display devices makes it impractical to provide a single large display, and existing technologies do not effectively address the need for cost-effective solutions to display large images using multiple smaller devices cooperatively.
Innovation Solution
A touch control display device design that includes a display panel, an image compensation element, and a touch sensing structure, where the image compensation element uses light guiding channels and fibers to expand and distribute the image from the periphery display region to the non-display region, creating a larger visible image without a visible frame.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a single large touch control display device is provided, then the display size is large, but the cost is high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides a large display into multiple smaller display panels arranged in a matrix configuration. Each panel is an independent touch control display device with its own frame, and multiple panels are connected via connection frames to form a composite large-screen display system. This segmentation allows using affordable small panels to achieve the cost-effectiveness of the invention while providing large display area through their collective arrangement.
2Ease of manufacture
If multiple small touch control display devices are used cooperatively, then the cost is reduced, but the display size is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple small display panels into a unified large-screen display system through connection frames that join the panels together. The connection frames not only structurally connect the individual panels but also enable them to function as a single integrated display unit, effectively combining their individual display areas to create a large overall display area while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
3Area of stationary object
If multiple display panels are connected to form a large display, then the display area increases, but visible frames appear between panels
Solution Approach 1:
The connection frames are designed with the same or similar color as the surrounding display panels to visually blend with them. This color matching technique makes the connection frames less noticeable and creates the optical illusion of a seamless, frame-less display, thereby maintaining the aesthetic appearance of a unified large screen while allowing multiple panels to be connected.
4Area of stationary object
If the periphery display region is used, then the display area is increased, but the pixel density is lower
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different pixel densities to different regions of the display panels, with the periphery display regions having higher pixel density than the main display regions. This local quality variation ensures that even the border areas contributing to the overall display area maintain high image quality and visual clarity, thereby resolving the contradiction between expanding display area and maintaining pixel density.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution allows for a larger displayed image than the sum of the main and periphery display regions, with higher pixel density in the periphery region, providing a frame-less display effect while being cost-effective by utilizing existing display technologies.
Implementation Method 1
the image compensation element uses light guiding channels and fibers to expand and distribute the image from the periphery display region to the non-display region

AI summary
A touch control display device includes a display panel, an image compensation element positioned on the display panel, and a touch sensing structure adjacent to the image compensation element. The touch sensing structure is configured to sense touch actions applied to the touch control display device. The display panel includes a main display portion and a periphery display portion. The image compensation element includes a compensation portion, and the compensation portion is configured to distribute the image of the periphery display portion to the outside of the periphery display portion away from the main display portion. The compensation portion includes a light incident surface, a light emitting surface, and a plurality of light guiding channels extending from the light incident surface to the light emitting surface. An area of the light emitting surface is greater than an area of the light incident surface.
