Solution Overview

Problem

Current lighting jigs for TFT-LCD panels are prone to damage and instability due to their complex structure, which complicates the input of drive signals, clock signals, and thin film transistor switch signals, leading to abnormal lighting issues.

Innovation Solution

A lighting jig with a signal generator, data signal circuit board, and scanning signal circuit board that split and input signals to the panel through separate probe pieces, improving signal stability by reducing alignment-dependent transmission failures.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If multiple drive signals (data signal, clock signal, TFT switch signal) are input through a single access point, then the structure becomes integrated, but the structure becomes complicated and prone to damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructure complexityVSAvoidlighting stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the signal input system into separate access points: a data signal access point for data signals and a scanning signal access point for clock and TFT switch signals. This segmentation prevents the structural complexity and reliability issues caused by integrating multiple signal types through a single access point, while maintaining functional integration through the lighting jig's coordinated operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If multiple functions are integrated into the access point for data signal, then signal transmission is simplified, but the access point becomes easy to damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess point structureVSAvoidaccess point durability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates the access point for data signal and the access point for scanning signal into distinct physical components. The data signal access point only handles data signals, while the scanning signal access point handles clock and TFT switch signals. This functional segmentation reduces the stress and complexity on each access point, making them more durable and less prone to damage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of operation

If a single access point handles all signal functions, then connection is simplified, but abnormal lighting occurs due to damage

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal input convenienceVSAvoidlighting normal operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements separate access points for different signal types, with the data signal access point receiving data signals and the scanning signal access point receiving clock and TFT switch signals. This segmentation maintains operational simplicity through the lighting jig's automated coordination while ensuring reliable lighting operation by preventing the signal interference and damage issues that arise from multi-function integration in a single access point.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
