Integrated Transparent Opaque Display Panel Single Controller
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multi-display devices suffer from poor image quality at connection areas between combined display panels and lack transparent display capabilities, limiting their use in environments requiring visibility from outside, such as shop windows and advertising.
Innovation Solution
A multi-display device with a single display panel incorporating both transparent and opaque areas, driven by a unified controller, allowing external light transmission and high/low-resolution image presentation in different areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple display panels are combined to create a large-screen display, then the display area is increased, but image quality deteriorates at connection areas between panels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple display technologies (transparent display and normal display) into a single integrated display panel, eliminating the need to connect separate panels and thereby avoiding image quality issues at connection areas while maintaining a large effective display area
2Manufacturing precision
If a traditional opaque display is used, then image presentation is clear, but visibility from outside is blocked
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different display characteristics to different regions of the same display panel - the first area uses transparent display technology for external visibility while the second area uses normal opaque display technology for clear image presentation, allowing both functions to coexist in a single device
Solution Approach 2:
The display panel is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously - it can present clear images in the opaque area while also allowing visibility through the transparent area, making it adaptable for various applications such as shop windows, advertising, and customer consultation
3Reliability
If separate controllers are used for transparent and normal display areas, then each display type is optimized, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
A single controller is designed to manage both the transparent display area and the normal display area, making the controller multi-functional and capable of handling different display types without requiring separate control units, thereby reducing device complexity and cost

AI summary
A multi-display device and a display panel that have a structure in which one controller drives and controls both a transparent display area and an opaque display area, are provided. The transparent display area and the opaque display area are integrated into the display panel. The display panel further includes a plurality of data lines and a plurality of gate lines extending in different directions. The multi-display device and the display panel provide a cost-saving effect.
