Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Micro LED displays have a low pixel aperture ratio and transmittance due to the separate arrangement of LED chips and pixel circuits, which affects brightness uniformity and display quality.

Innovation Solution

A driving backplane design that integrates pixel driving circuits, electrodes, and potential wires with a multiplexing controller, where the multiplexing controller's projection overlaps with the micro light emitting diode bonding region, and control wires are superimposed with potential wires, reducing the proportion of signal lines and increasing pixel aperture ratio and transmittance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If LED chips and pixel circuits are arranged separately with separate wire layouts, then device functionality is ensured, but pixel aperture ratio and transmittance are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepixel aperture ratioVSAvoidwire layout complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the control wire and potential wire into a single integrated wire structure. The control wire is positioned at a first height and the potential wire at a second height, both within the same wire region, eliminating the need for separate wire layouts and increasing the pixel aperture ratio while maintaining device functionality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes vertical stacking in the height dimension to resolve wire routing conflicts. By positioning the control wire and potential wire at different heights (first height and second height respectively) within the same planar region, the design achieves three-dimensional wire integration that increases transmittance without compromising electrical connectivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Reliability

If multiple pixel driving circuits are coupled with separate signal lines, then signal transmission reliability is ensured, but the proportion of signal lines increases reducing transmittance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesignal transmission reliabilityVSAvoidtransmittance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSArea of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements multi-functionality by having a single wire serve dual purposes: the control wire provides control signals and the potential wire provides power potential. This integrated structure allows multiple pixel driving circuits to share the same wire region with different height layers, reducing the overall proportion of signal lines while maintaining reliable signal transmission through the stacked configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
