Solution Overview

Problem

Micro light emitting diode display panels face challenges in achieving both high display quality and a narrow border due to the large size of control elements, which are typically placed on the periphery and increase border width.

Innovation Solution

The solution involves positioning control elements within the pixel regions of the micro light emitting diode display panel, with a closer proximity to green micro light emitting diodes than blue micro light emitting diodes, and optimizing the size and arrangement of micro light emitting diodes and control elements to minimize border width and prevent dark lines or spots.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If control elements are disposed on the periphery region of the micro light emitting diode display panel, then the display quality is maintained, but the border width increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisplay qualityVSAvoidborder width
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent moves control elements from the periphery region (2D boundary) into the pixel regions (2D display area), utilizing the internal space of existing structures rather than expanding the external boundaries. This dimensional repositioning allows border width reduction while maintaining display quality through strategic placement within the pixel matrix.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The control elements are nested within the pixel regions, specifically positioned in relationship to the micro light emitting diodes (red, green, blue sub-pixels). By embedding control elements within the existing pixel structure rather than placing them externally, the design achieves space efficiency and reduces border requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies different distance relationships between control elements and different colored micro light emitting diodes based on human visual characteristics. Specifically, the control element is positioned closer to the green micro light emitting diode than to the blue micro light emitting diode, creating asymmetric local arrangements that compensate for human eye sensitivity variations and prevent visible dark lines and spots.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The invention considers the different perceptual characteristics of various colors (red, green, blue) to the human eye when positioning control elements. By adjusting the spatial relationship between the control element and each colored micro light emitting diode based on human color sensitivity, the design prevents visible display defects while maintaining layout feasibility.
